That’s the name of a great-grandaughter of Henry VII of England, who was infamously known as the “Nine Days Queen” because she only ruled from 10 July 1553 to 19 July 1553, after which she was beheaded for high trea

The plot and quests are somewhat linear, but once players get into the flow of the game after the first few hours, it starts to get more compelling. The combat, while simplistic, also gets more in-depth as the player progres

SR: For fans this will feel like a homecoming, but Fables #151 sounds like it won’t waste any time in launching a new story arc, “The Black Forest.” What can you tease about this story picking up where Issue #150 left off, and this new story to c

Updated March 11, 2022 by John Charron: Western RPGs are only getting more and more popular with each passing year, as gamers across the board are exploring the best video game developers have to offer. Lush worlds, alluring quest lines, and killer gameplay make the best western RPGs the cream of the crop. But, as with many RPGs, there is still the looming threat of a slow beginning. Tedious or boring plot lines, monotonous grinding, or off-kilter pacing can make the intro of RPG games feel more like work than a video game. Nevertheless, getting past those first rough few hours is a badge of honor for many gamers once they get into the rhy

There have been plenty of rumors surrounding BioShock 4 in the past several weeks, mainly regarding its potential status as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. It was only recently announced that BioShock 4 was in development, but leaks and information deduced from job listings have already begun painting a picture of what the game might look like. If the rumors are to be believed and that BioShock 4 is a PS5 exclusive , it’s likely that no news would come from E3 2021 about the game. Instead, it would be shown off during a PlayStation showcase completely unaffiliated with E3. Even if it’s not an exclusive, BioShock 4 is still so early in development that seeing any footage of it would be highly susp

Just as much a survival horror game as it is a role playing game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a scary good time filled with terrifying mutants and plenty of abandoned buildings to explore. Featuring multiple endings and a heaping pile of side quests to traverse, the game builds a believable world constructed around mystery and intri

In the world of Fable, crime unfortunately exists. Those who are so inclined can certainly cause a ruckus and an uproar. Should you go down this devious path, the guards will stop you and demand you pay a hefty fine. Failing to part with the cash will see the player set u

Fast forward many years and the man becomes absurdly wealthy thanks to an inheritance from a relative and, um, becoming a corn magnate. As in, he sells Corn Flakes, popcorn, and corn chips thanks to the corn he grows on the land he owns through his inheritance. I told you it was bizarre. He lives in a huge house, has a small army of live-in servants, is married to a supermodel, and has a daughter he loves very much. One day while walking the streets of Venice with his young daughter, he sees her smile and earnestly believes it to be the happiest he has ever been. That’s when the Stand stri

Just like Aesop’s Fables, this short, self-contained story has a powerful message, but one that Aesop could never have predicted in a world ravaged by global capitalism. The powerful abuse others, the powerful feel no empathy, and the powerful will use those around them to get what they want, even at the cost of their own happiness. But ultimately, no matter what, the powerful do not feel the brunt of their curse. They do not have to face the consequences of their actions. They just let those around them do it for them, and keep walking forward, living their life. As the man rises from the confessional booth and leaves the church we see the headless servant, bearing the man’s old face, crawl behind him, alongside the homeless man from years before, while the corn magnate himself strolls out, unscathed, with a face that isn’t even his

Considered by many one of the most iconic indie RPGs ever, Undertale is deserving of the praise it receives as a truly wacky video game. Choices and dialogue options are the most engaging aspects of the game and players will often find themselves second guessing every option they cho

Simone’s grave reads “S. Carter, gave his life that Albion might live,” and Dene’s reads “D. Carter, ever unconvinced there is life before death…” The Carter Brothers were the original creators of Fable, but have left the company since the last Covid-19 Game Development‘s release. It’s anybody’s guess whether a tribute to them will appear in the next installm

Western RPGs have a special place in many gamers hearts. Some grew up playing them while others got into them later in their gaming careers. It’s hard to deny the alluring elements of WRPGs, from intricate customizations to the addicting gamep
