Telltale Games’ ongoing liquidation has led to a whole bunch of the studio’s games being delisted from Steam. The Walking Dead, for instance, is currently no longer walking and is instead very dead. We figured you might like to know which titles are still available and which are gone, so here’s a handy list of what’s still up at the time of writing. Note that just because a game is delisted doesn’t mean that you can’t play it anymore – as with previously delisted games, like Deadpool and Alan Wake (now happily returned to us), it just means they’re no longer for sale....

The flatscreen to VR modding community has been working its magic once again, this time with a new mod that brings 6DoF, motion controlled VR to Left 4 Dead 2. The mod itself is still in early beta but even at this stage of development it’s possible to play through the full campaign (and all the DLC levels) in its entirety. For this week’s episode of VR Corner, which you can find just below these words, I tested the mod out on one of the most memorable missions from the game, Dark Carnival....

Pokémon Go maker Niantic has announced a list of meetup locations for the game’s next Community Day, set for this Sunday 13th March between 11am and 5pm. The Sandshrew-focused event will, as usual, be available to play anywhere. But if you fancy meeting up with some other Trainers, the following UK places have now been designated by Niantic as approved meetup points: Broadmead in Bristol, Churchill Way in Cardiff, Castle Street in Edinburgh, Liverpool ONE in Liverpool, Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester, plus both St....

The next generation of racing is here, and Thrustmaster is coming in hot with the announcement of the Thrustmaster T248 racing wheel. Retailing for $399 USD, the Force Feedback racing wheel is compatible for PC as well as the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Designed for dedicated racing gamers, the Thrustmaster T248 features a “hybrid drive” system that combines belt and gear mechanics. With this combination, Thrustmaster states that the Force Feedback provided will give players a “unrivaled” experience on any track....

For the purpose of this list, we focus on the rarest base forms that you can catch rather than include all forms. Pokemon within a family tend to hold the same rarity, and, since you can evolve, all you need is the base form anyway. For example, Butterfree only has a 1% chance to be caught, but Caterpie is ridiculously common. We’ve also excluded Legendaries since they are guaranteed to be in a certain area and some are outright given to you....

Rome: Total War initially released in 2004. Although it was the third game in the franchise (after Shogun and Medieval), it was actually the first entry that completely hooked me. I still remember going to my cousin’s home due to him having a beefier PC at the time and playing until the wee hours of the morning. That brings us to Total War: Rome Remastered, which updates this title for a new generation....

Sega and Creative Assembly have announced that they will be delaying the launch of Total War: Warhammer III into next year. Chief Product Officer Rob Bartholomew explained the delay in a statement posted to the game’s official Twitter account. “While it’s tempting to rush to the finish line as it comes into view, we have made the decision to give it a little more time by moving the launch of Total War: Warhammer III from 2021 to early 2022....

Tower of Fantasy is an MMORPG set in the open world of Aida. In the quest for powerful energy called Omnium from the comet Mara, mankind built the Omnium Tower. However, the consequences of this action have been drastic. While exploring the world of Aida, players have commonly wondered how they can change their gender. Whether you do not like the character you have or simply want to try something new, you will find the answer here....

It might not be the crossover you imagined or even knew you wanted, but it’s awesome all the same. During their performance in Romania last week, musical duo Twenty One Pilots played Heathens as a tribute to the latest season of Stranger Things. There’s no real crossover here, really, aside from a montage of scenes from Stranger Things Season 4, specifically the bit where Max is in the Upside Down. You know the scene....

Last year was pretty significant for the live-streaming world. It saw the rise of Mixer, as the platform secured an exclusivity contract with top Fortnite streamer Ninja and several other personalities. Twitch also managed to secure contracts with big-name personalities like Dr. Lupo, Lirik, and TimTheTatman. However, it appears that keeping the streamers exclusive may not have been the jolt the platform needed, as Twitch has reportedly missed its ad revenue goal by a significant margin....

Tomorrow will mark the end of an era for fans of Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 3-era titles. On September 3, Sony will be shutting down the multiplayer servers for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, and The Last of Us. It was previously announced in June that these servers would be shutting down, and in the process, Sony made all of the DLC for the games’ multiplayer free to download....

Supermassive Games is not working on a sequel to last year’s surprise hit Until Dawn, managing director Pete Samuels has confirmed. It does, however, have plans to take what it did with the game and broaden it out “into similar experiences”, potentially with another publisher on other platforms. “There’s a lot of speculation about what we’re doing and what we’re working on right now,” Samuels told GameIndustry.biz. “We’re not working on Until Dawn 2 at the moment....

According to a report on Kotaku, Supermassive Games’ ghostly adventurer The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan will bring back the psychologist mechanic seen in its 2015 teen horror hit, Until Dawn. Well, to be precise, it will feature something similar to that feature. Instead of the psychologist that you’d speak to outside of the core storyline, Supermassive’s nautical-flavoured scare-’em-up will switch the role up with that of a curator. Again, this character will be featured periodically, where you’ll converse with them and answer questions about the choices you’ve made and how things are generally going....

V Rising revolves around a weakened vampire as he wakes from his deep slumber. As you progress, you need to gather resources and defeat the bosses to reclaim your place back. While it would take some time to adapt to a new timeline, you can follow the fashion of hats. Unlike most of the gear, helmets and hats are purely cosmetic. They don’t have any use rather than making your playable vampire character look cool....

Playing a hands-on demo build of Valkyrie Elysium made me feel like I was transported back to 2010. Not in the good, Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream, Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, Paramore’s Brand New Eyes kind of way. We saw the height of angsty punk rock and teen pop in those years, yes, but we also suffered through the growing pains of evolving graphical fidelity in video games. Valkyrie Elysium feels like it was plucked out of that era, and that’s not a great first impression to have....

Cypher is the master of gathering intelligence of Valorant. He places cameras, wires, and traps around the map to monitor and hinder the enemy team’s movements. Information is a crucial part of tactical shooter gameplay. So, if played well, Cypher can give his team the edge in every encounter. This Valorant Cypher guide has all the tips and tricks you need to get a handle on the agent’s spy gadgets....

Vega, the masked Spanish Ninja, has been confirmed as a playable character in next spring’s Street Fighter 5. Along with a new look, Vega brings a bag of new tricks to the table. Speed remains a key element of Vega’s game, but he now also boasts two distinct fighting modes: claw or no-claw. The no-claw style gives him access to command grabs as well as new attack properties. Vega’s powerful V-Trigger is the Bloody Kiss, which sees him throw a rose at high velocity towards his opponent, before he charges at full speed right behind it....

Today Crunchyroll released a new English trailer of the second season of the popular Viking-age anime Vinland Saga. The trailer was released in Japanese a few weeks ago, but today we actually get a version with English subtitles that most can understand. We take a look at the characters that we’ll meet during the second season, including new and returning ones. Of course, Thorfinn is still the protagonist. The video also features the opening theme song “River” performed by Anonymous....

It’s being rumoured that Warner Bros are working on a Smash Bros like plattform-fighter with an all-star cast. The report comes from Reddit, and has since been corroborated by VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb (as spotted by Video Games Chronicle). Supposedly the game will see characters from various WB-owned properties going toe-to-toe not too dissimilar from the aforementioned Smash Bros or the recent Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Allegedly, characters confirmed include Batman, Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, Tom and Jerry and even Shaggy from Scooby Doo....

With the release of Evil Dead Game, players are pretty excited to play all four classes for Survivors in the game. These four classes include Leaders, Warriors, Hunters, and Support based characters. Speaking of Warrior classes, these Survivors have increased maximum health and are the best for melee combat. While all the Warrior-based Survivors have great agility and inflict increased dismemberment damage, they do have some differences. We have compiled all these Survivors and ranked them based on their abilities, perks, and other stats....
