Step back Planet Zoo, pipe down Zoo Tycoon; finally someone's made a game for those budding zoologist that love animals so much they just wanted to smush them all together - until more, weirder animals pop out the other side. It's called Let's Build a Zoo and it's coming to PC this summer, with Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation versions also on the way. Let's Build a Zoo is the work of developer Springloaded Games and, on the face of it, looks to deliver pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a zoo tycoon game. [Read More]

 Posted on October 9, 2022  |  5 minutes  |  877 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

July marks the arrival, and departure, of a range of new fish, bugs and sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Much like June and the upcoming August, you'll be able to catch these new critters on your island. Catching every fish, bug and sea creatures in New Horizons will not only help complete the Museum, but will unlock the DIY recipes for two of the Golden Tools. The Critterpedia details when each creature appears on your island, but, to gain this information, you must first catch the creature in question. [Read More]

 Posted on October 9, 2022  |  2 minutes  |  349 words  |  Trudie Dory

In Logjam, you play as a sexy lumberjack chopping, slicing, and stroking wood. It's... very NSFW. Logjam is the latest game from famed creator Robert Yang, following the likes of Hard Lads, Rinse and Repeat, and The Tearoom in exploring gay sexuality. And like Hard Lads, Logjam is in part inspired by a recent trend of sexy lumberjack videos on TikTok, as he explains in a lengthy blog post. [Read More]

Sled Storm | Eurogamer.net

 Posted on October 9, 2022  |  6 minutes  |  1124 words  |  Patria Henriques

Tentative Steps With a pedigree as prestigious as SSX Tricky, Sled Storm had my expectations understandably high, but after a few moments with EA Canada's latest snow-capped release it became obvious that the two games share more than just a mutual developer. At the heart of Sled Storm are the same underlying mechanics that made Tricky so enjoyable, but unfortunately basing Sled Storm squarely on its predecessor has diluted its impact. [Read More]

 Posted on October 9, 2022  |  2 minutes  |  375 words  |  Patria Henriques

With Titanfall 2 enjoying an Apex Legends-powered resurgence, so is its superb Gauntlet. Respawn's wall-hopping assault course tasks players with completing one lap as quickly as possible - and nearly five years after Titanfall 2 came out, speedrunners are breaking world records again. Eurogamer news cast: the Epic emails In October 2019, speedrunner Cash Mayo set an incredible time of 11.7 seconds, shaving a fraction off Mayo's previous world record of 11. [Read More]

Bloodborne's unofficial 60fps patch tested: just how good is it?

 Posted on October 8, 2022  |  9 minutes  |  1721 words  |  Patria Henriques

One of the most celebrated games of this console generation, Bloodborne saw From Software team up with Sony to produce an epic gothic adventure - rich in lore, deep in gameplay, brutally hard in execution. From a Digital Foundry perspective, its only negative points are technical in nature. Bloodborne's 30fps frame-rate is poorly implemented, while the potential for 60fps gaming via a PlayStation 4 Pro patch never happened. With that in mind, it was with much interest that we followed the work of Lance McDonald, who chronicled his attempts to hack the Bloodborne code on debug hardware in order to run it at full frame-rate.

Devil May Cry 5 Secret Mission locations explained

 Posted on October 8, 2022  |  10 minutes  |  2083 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

Devil May Cry 5 secret missions are littered throughout the game's 20 missions, and require keen attention at the world around you. Secret missions are represented by a huge pentagram, and you'll have to find a specific place to stand that will glow on touch, and then center the camera to align the shape accordingly. Once that's settled, a prompt will appear with the mission objective, which goes from eliminating all enemies without taking damage or performing a kill with just one shot. [Read More]

Far Cry 5 ending choices - how to unlock all alternate and hidden endings

 Posted on October 8, 2022  |  3 minutes  |  454 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

Far Cry 5 endings continue a tradition of multiple outcomes as part of the modern entries in Ubisoft's open-world shooters. Though two endings will present themselves in the story naturally, there is one secret Far Cry 5 ending that is easily missed from near the start of the game. That makes for three endings in total. Right now there's no hint of any more, so don't expect any super secret ending as with Far Cry 4 - unless, of course, Ubisoft has something special up its sleeve. [Read More]
