Share of the Week: Best Friends

The remake of Knights of the Old Republic is now in a strange situation, after Embracer’s sale of Saber Interactive.

Helldivers 2 players who literally want to watch the world burn have put forward a spicy suggestion for a new Stratagem, which sounds like it has the potential to be incredibly powerful, if not massively risky for your fellow teammates. Enter the idea of the Guard Dog Flamethrower – an auto-firing companion bot that can spew flames whenever it wants, at whatever it wants.

If you caught our Rise of the Ronin preview content and are keen, there's a sub-level discount you'll appreciate. I've spent a good six hours with this samurai epic and can confirm that it's well worth unsheathing your wallet for—click here for a longer version of why that is. Beyond that, you should also be aware that there are cheaper than usual Mario games afoot right now. Wonder, in particular, is well worth your coins.

The artist behind Minecraft's iconic paintings has shared the original PNG and the story of how they started working on the "little weird indie hobby game." 

Roadmaps for video games are something that is always exciting, especially when they come jam-packed with so much content to come to a favorite game. PUBG: Battlegrounds is set to receive many new pieces of content, a lot of it being outlined in a recent roadmap video that was shared by the developers on social media.

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has shared a new name as his top choice to portray the iconic spy in the upcoming 007 movies.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly the titular Dragon's Dogma 2 dragon—it's Friday! This morning, I should like to turn your attention to a sale of some old EA-owned gold that's made its way to Steam for the first time. Chief among them for me is The Saboteur, basically a WWII GTA set in Paris. I'm also all about the dirt cheap tsunami of Command & Conquer games, too.

Today, it's time to pay not that much to score quite a heck of a lot, thanks to Humble Bundle. The tastiest component in said package has got to be Nioh 2, top action-RPG and spiritual predecessor of the imminently forthcoming Rise of the Ronin. The latter keeps all the samurai action, strips out the supernatural enemies (plus giant enemy crabs), and adds in a backpack glider not unlike the Bat-tastic one from the Arkham series. Pretty good formula so far, no?

Star Wars fans may have uncovered an interesting shared trait among 3 of the most prominent characters in the franchise at the moment. They may all be the same age despite appearing so far apart. But those making this realization for the first time might wonder how they never noticed this possibility.

fans are no strangers to innovating on the battlefield, but one player has made calling in support from Stratagems easier than ever before. After dropping down onto whatever besieged planet catches their attention, Helldivers are provided access to a range of Stratagems that involve plugging in a series of inputs for their orbiting Destroyer to send down equipment, supplies, and even deadly explosives. In the heat of battle, that process can be rather difficult, but fortunately, for some players, it just got much simpler.

Earlier this week, 900 individuals were laid off from Sony PlayStation. The affected studios included well-known developers Insomniac Games, Naughty Dog, and Guerrilla Games, with PlayStation London shutting down entirely.

Last week, we asked you share moments from your go-to comfort game using #PSshare #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights:
