A lot of people are upset that after nearly 10 years in development, they are releasing an EA version and have said the game is not feature complete and, according to CEO in interview, "Rudimentary."

I'll get it, prob on day 1. At least I'll get to play some version of it...been waiting 5 years since I first played Warband, the only other game that caught me as much as Kenshi has now.

Bannerlord EA releasing 1 day early (in about 4 hours) and at 10% off. (20% if you already own Warband).

Finally!

Scorn is an upcoming game developed by Ebb Software using the Unreal Engine for Microsoft Windows and X Box.

Designed around the world of H R Geiger, it looks very interesting, fusing flesh and tech in a messy squelchy dark environment that is sure to float the boat of any horror fan up for the ride.

Give it a look!

I don't play horror games for some reason.

I gave up Resident Evil Biohazard when required to kill a human opponent with nothing more than a two inch penknife (a sort of death by a thousand slashes thing). A bit too much for me that one!

Welp, the new Total War, Pharaoh, has been announced.

I'll probably be interested, but I'll definitely wait for a hefty sale...Haven't even put a dozen hours into 3 Kingdoms yet.

--> --> Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders Over Trump's Tariffs

The Money-Quote:

A statement from Nintendo, first obtained by GameSpot, reads: “Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”

The Switch 2 reveal this week showcased big new games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, but also big new price jumps that took fans by surprise. On the same day the Switch 2 was revealed, President Donald Trump announced new tariffs of over 20 and 40 percent on some countries, including China, Vietnam, and Japan.
