Dune Awakening Does An Excellent Job Of Bringing The Books To Life

The first time I playedDune Awakening, I was swallowed by a worm. I heard and saw it coming, of course, but once the Shai-Hulud knows where you are it’s pretty damn hard to escape it. I remember the absolute horror I felt when reading the original Dune, Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 science fiction novel, as Paul Atreides undergoes his worm-riding test alongside Stilgar. Giant worms that dive into oceans of sand and consume battleship-sized vehicles are easily translatable to the video game format - but Dune Awakening goes a lot further when capturing the magic of Herbert’s books....

Europa Universalis 5 Is Finally Here, And It’s Even Bigger Than I Thought It Would Be

I thinkit’s important to preface this preview with some clarity around the performance of the build I was given. I experienced multiple crashes, sometimes while just loading the game, which made completing a full playthrough of Europa Universalis 5 almost impossible. The auto-save function didn’t work reliably, which means even when the game did really get going, it would often crash, losing any gameplay that I’d managed to actually play through....

Every Season Of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ranked

It’s hard to imagine today, but when Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in 1987, its initial reception was mixed at best.

Summary If you were once one of the many who used to playGrand Theft Auto Onlineand stopped at some point over the last decade, then Rockstar inevitably wants you to return to the crime-ridden, drug-fuelled hills of Los Santos to race supercars, manage strip clubs and whatever else Rockstar cooked up instead of creating the single-player expansions I wanted to play. Millions Beget Millions In fairness to Rockstar, logging on will net you a free $1 million with no string attached....

How Netflix's DMC Anime Differs From The Games

Summary Devil May Cryhas an anime - well, another one - made by Netflix now, so you can watch Dante go through iconic demon bosses from the series while you’re taking a break from doing that yourself in the games. That said, the anime has taken a lot of liberties with the series, with its own plot, concepts, and characters, which are only the same in name and design. If you start playing Devil May Cry because of the anime, the differences can even be jarring due to how much has been changed....
