Picking Sides in Total War: Warhammer
The races of Total War: Warhammer aren’t just four skins of the same basic faction with a few magicians and monsters thrown in for good measure. Instead, they represent meaningfully different choices that promote radically different play-styles for each of the key areas in the game.
This begs the question of how you choose which to play as and which might best suit your preferred approach to conquering the Old World, Badlands and beyond.
Having spent a decent amount of time tinkering with each race and seeing how their abilities and characteristics affect the long game, here’s a rundown of what you can expect each one to provide and to help factor it into your game plan.
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine DLC Has An Official Date
UPDATE: CD Projekt Red have now confirmed that Blood and Wine will be released on May 30, with pre-orders open now.
“Blood and Wine makes The Witcher 3 complete -- it’s Geralt’s final mission, game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz said. "Containing more than 90 new quests, and over thirty hours of brand new adventures, it’s something that I think gamers will remember for a long time.”
Tomaszkiewicz added that Blood and Wine will include “a dynamic Point of Interest system, a new Gwent deck, new endgame mutation mechanics, and even a place Geralt can call home.... And it’s all happening in a new region as big as No Man’s Land in the base game.”
Forza Motorsport 6 NASCAR Expansion Leaked
It looks like Forza Motorsport 6 could be set to receive another expansion, if new images of what appears to be a download card for some unannounced Forza 6 DLC are to be believed.
Spotted on Reddit, the supposed card was snapped at a UK retailer. If the card is legitimate the pack will cost £15.99 in the UK.
The text on the back of the card claims the expansion will feature 24 cars from the 2016 NASCAR series, a new “NASCAR World Tour” career mode, new multiplayer events, and “new display elements for improved drafting and car spotting.”
It will apparently also include a new location – Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Carter on Future X-Files: “I Can’t Imagine There Wouldn’t Be More”
Spoilers for X-Files Season 10 ahead.
Although last season ended big cliffhanger, X-Files fans are currently in the dark regarding the roll-out of future episodes. What's going to happen to Mulder and Scully? Is humanity doomed? Are there probes on that UFO? IGN recently had the opportunity to chat Carter about the tonal evolution of his classic show, its legacy, and of course, his plans moving forward.
IGN: I'll start with the most obvious question first. Are there going to be more episodes?
Fox wants to do more. The ratings were good so there’s an appetite for more, I’m very pleased with the work that we did so I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more.
Why That Game of Thrones Flashback Is Hugely Important
Full spoilers for Game of Thrones through "Oathbreaker" continue below. This article also discusses a major theory that could be considered a spoiler. Read on at your own risk.
History matters on Game of Thrones. The events that took place before Jon Arryn died, before Robert Baratheon asked Eddard Stark to be his Hand of the King and before any Starks left Winterfell cast a heavy shadow over this series. And in Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, viewers finally got to witness one unfold.
In "Oathbreaker," the Three-Eyed Raven takes Bran Stark to a point in his father's history that he's heard a lot about. The young warg witnesses first-hand Ned Stark's fight with Ser Arthur Dayne in front of a location known as the Tower of Joy. Ned is there to rescue his sister Lyanna, who viewers met for the first time in Bran's flashbacks in last week's "Home." After Arthur Dayne is defeated, Ned hears a blood-curdling scream, but the Three-Eyed Raven doesn't allow Bran to follow and both he and the viewer don't get to see what happens next.
