Deep Silver will be bringing Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition to the PlayStation 4, a package which includes the original game and post-release content. Set to sell for $39.99, the pack will be available on August 21 in North America as a digital download.

So apparently a bug in the system went back and, I don't know, gobbled up a few articles from the past? Fortunately, the last What Are You Playing entry I wrote still holds true, as I've still been rocking the portables. Maybe you're one of the 22 people who saw the slideshow below during the alleged server freakout, maybe you didn't. It's still what I'm playing!
The video game experience, especially on consoles, has come a long way. Nowadays, gamers arenÄ‚Ë€â„Ët content with merely good gameplay or even great graphics. New franchises must break new ground in the realm of interactive fiction or be as good as any real-life competitive sport in the online multiplayer-verse. The charm (and frustration) of a game like Tropico 5 is that it acts like the last decade of gaming never happened. Like weÄ‚Ë€â„Ëre all still looking at cartoony board games on our screens in an attempt to replay Parker Brothers' Risk over and over.
When I played The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings many things astonished me, but Saskia's storyline stood out among the rest. It's an example of a well-written female leader and how branching paths in video games can significantly change the experience.

What you see above isn't just a crazy video, it's a crazy video that perfectly encapsulates why modding PC games is so awesome. Featuring Grand Theft Auto V, the video shows off several mods that come together to make something absolutely magical.

Last week Bungie launched a T-shirt campaign to raise money for the relief effort over in Nepal following its devastating earthquake. In that short amount of time the Bungie community has raised over $400,000.
If you love cars, then I hope by now that you've played Project CARS. It's one of the best racing simulators in years. That not only means that you get to drive in several of the most esteemed vehicles on the planet, but visit locations that dreams are made of.
Plenty of games push pre-orders in the buyer's face just for the sake of guaranteed money, but it appears that's not entirely the case with Rock Band 4. In fact, pre-orders may be needed to secure those fancy plastic instruments.
Bungie has released an official preview trailer for the upcoming House of Wolves expansion for Destiny, detailing the story missions based in The Reef. You will obtain new orders from Petra Venj, Queen's Wrath, who charges you with the quest of stopping the Wolves as well as Skolas from usurping power from the House of Kings on Earth.
Nintendo plans to enter the mobile marketplace in the near future, and it looks like the company has picked an individual to lead the charge according to a recent financial report.
The report from Sankei, translated by Nintendo Everything, reveals that a Mario Kart producer will be in charge of Nintendo's mobile development going forward. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata didn't mention a specific name, but it's assumed he was referring to Hideki Konno.
Whoever thought of the idea of having gaming inept Conan O'Brien alongside colleague and hardcore gamer Aaron Blair perform reviews for video games is a genius.

As if the rumored dismantling of Hideo Kojima's relationship with Konami wasn't enough, the canceling of Silent Hills was a blow loud enough to send shockwaves throug the internet. Konami has quickly earned itself the disfavor of gamers around the world for its actions, and apparently has little idea why.
In this episode of GR Live, I run through all four zones (and surprisingly reach the end) of Crypt of the NecroDancer using your favorite battle music. This rhythm-based platformer will automatically adjust the speed of the game to the BPM of any chosen custom music.
Taiko no Tatsujin, better known as Taiko Drum Master abroad, will be getting a Vita version uncreatively called Taiko Drum Master: V Version. Of course, it'll have all the rhythmic timing-based musical gameplay series fans have come to love, but also feature the ability to be fanserviced by popular Bandai Namco characters in an RPGlike mode "Donda Quest."
