Don’t let appearances get in your way of PROFIT! When I first sawCara Ellison’s post on Rock, Paper, Shotgunon how to spend $20 inDota 2while simultaneously making your characters look stunning, I thought it was a nice way tocompletely waste $20. Sure, there are some nice items on that list, but even Ms. Ellison herself recognizes that there’s a decent chance that you will find these items either via the drop system after a match, or when opening crates....

Expect a Kickstarter campaign next month Jordan Weisman has a pretty impressive résumé, not only for the quality of games he has been behind, but for the fact that they have been in both the board game and videogame arenas.

Now thatShadowrun Returnshas almost released, his development studio has set its sights on its next project, a board game calledGolem Arcanathat integrates mobile or tablet technology to augment the tabletop gameplay....

Peril of the Pink Planet BioWare wants to take you to a gay bar. Or rather, a gayplanet.Star Wars: The Old Republicis being updated to include a rather inelegant solution to its lack of gay characters — a planet called Makeb where all the homosexual elements of the galaxy can be found. Oh dear. Makeb will appear in theRise of the Hutt Cartelexpansion pack, and will include characters with “flirtatious” dialog for same-sex players — a move that some feel amounts to digital segregation....

After PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS, it’s now bound for PlayStation 4. The PS4 version ofGrisisn’t a simple port–the developers put inwork. “The art team revamped over five thousand unique assets to 2x – 4x higher resolution to take advantage of the PS4 Pro and 4K displays,” said programmer Roger Mendoza....

Blow won’t hold your hand I’ve been playingThe Witnessfor the past day or so. Although I don’t like itas much as Brett(yet, at least) I think it’s pretty damn great, and if you even remotely like puzzle games you should get it — it’s like a modern dayMyst. In this era of instant gratification I suspect a lot of people are going to be turned off by it, but for me, it couldn’t have come at a better time....

Live from LA This is from Sunday, Bethesda conference day. We shot a Bethesda conference wrap up video outside of our hotel pool at like midnight after, uh, imbibing and it didn’t quite come out. Same with our grocery store unboxing video (lots of booze, eggs, and string cheese; I bought onions, garlic, asparagus and 40’s). So we cut it into a nice little sizzle reel. We’ve got Microsoft, Ubisoft/EA, and Sony post-conference discussions going up on the YouTube a bit later....

It’s not a great month Yesterday,Jordan told usto temper our expectations for Xbox’s Games with Gold in May. That bar-lowering seems equally necessary when looking at PlayStation’s gratis offerings for the month. Sure, there will besomething for some people, but it’s less than astounding as a whole. On the PS3 side of things,Bionic Commando Rearmed 2is the sole legacy console game. Vita seesGod of War: Ghost of SpartaandSwitch Galaxy Ultra, the latter as a cross-play title....
