Assembling Legos can be rough, what with the exorbitant amount and often mismatched bricks we have just laying around. However, the process has been simplified by developer Brickit's app of the same name, which uses AI to scan and offer suggestions on what to build.Brickit, available now on iOS with an Android version coming this fall, uses your phone's camera to assess the assortment of Legos you have and then spits out various creations that can be made with step-by-step instructions.All you need to do is dump your Legos into a pile, point your phone's camera at it, and let Brickit do the rest. After a brief scanning period, the app then suggests a plethora of constructs while pointing out the bricks you'll need. It even tells you how many bricks are necessary and which ones are missing.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Few games hold up as well as Dead Space. Despite releasing 13 years ago, Visceral Games' space horror shooter is still as intense and scary today as it was then. In fact, it's shockingly good--you can get it on PC right now, and it still controls exceedingly well, features some great shooting mechanics, and looks pretty great.But most importantly, Dead Space can still scare the hell out of you, with a combination of great sound design, excellent jump scares, ridiculously gross monsters, and awesome set piece moments.So that's what makes the rumors of a Dead Space remake coming from EA Motive so...weird. Supposedly, Electronic Arts looked at the massive success of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake and thought that Dead Space was ripe for a similar treatment. But Resident Evil 2 on the original PlayStation is today, realistically, kind of ugly and clunky. It's a tough game to go back to in its original form despite being full of great ideas and frightening moments. It's the kind of game where a visual and mechanical overhaul helps bring its best ideas forward into a modern setting.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Although a formal program for releasing them has not yet been announced, Sony has signaled its intention to launch so-called director's cuts of various first-party PS4 games. So far, two such projects have been announced: Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima. But with more potentially on the way, which games would we most like to see get this re-release treatment?It's worth noting that it's unclear if these are really director's cuts in the literal sense, with their respective directors being able to release their un-cut or original visions for the games. The term director's cut is traditionally used in the film industry to describe versions of movies that are more in line with a single vision, restoring content that was originally cut from the final product because of other considerations--like studio mandates, early feedback, and what have you.Sony's director's cuts, on the other hand, appear to be more like amped-up versions of the original games, with new features specific to the PS5 and new content. But they don't necessarily reflect the original creative vision of the developers--or if they do, we haven't really heard about how they do.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There's a moment late into Chicory where the hero of its tale questions their role in its story. Was it pure chance that they inherited a powerful paintbrush capable of restoring color to a monochromatic world, or did they deserve the responsibility and legacy associated with it? It's not a surprise that this question comes up at all, but rather when it does. Near its climax, Chicory's hero isn't satisfied that all of their actions up to that point have assuaged their underlying insecurity. It's this moment, along with numerous others surrounding it, that makes Chicory: A Colorful Tale an exceptional story to watch unfold. And it's a tale made all the more compelling by captivating puzzles and a distinct visual style.The world of Picnic is one that has become accustomed to expecting a lot from a singular Wielder. These skilled artists are chosen from many to maintain the color in the world using a magical brush, letting their own unique styles literally define the look of a society. It's a tradition that has continued for generations, but one that ends abruptly when the latest Wielder, Chicory, tosses aside the tool after a cataclysmic event strips the entire land and its inhabitants of their color. My hero, who I unwittingly named Pizza (every other character is fittingly named after food, too), jumps at the chance to take over the mantle and accept the responsibility because of a sheer admiration for those that came before, but soon begins understanding the burden that accompanies the title of Wielder.With the magical paintbrush in hand, A Colorful Tale invites you to get creative with its world. It's essentially one big coloring book, letting you decorate it according to how you imagine it might have looked under Chicory's reign. It's a literal mechanic built around the Wielder's duty to the land of Picnic, while also letting you better understand how each Wielder before you might have struggled with the requests of its citizens. Characters will frequently ask you to return their household or favorite coffee shop to its original state, sometimes not coming away satisfied with the results. Other times they'll drown you in praise for creating the simplest possible logo for a t-shirt, or for a slap-dash recreation of a much better-looking piece of classic art. Both instances instill a sense of imposter syndrome--either you're not good enough to be the Wielder, or the citizens of Picnic are simply settling because they have no other alternative.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ark: Survival Evolved's Summer Bash event is happening now, and it brings with it a bunch of new items. Namely, you can snag one of those inflatable T-Rex costumes that have shown up in countless YouTube videos and Tiktoks.

In addition to the costume, the Summer Bash also adds a bunch of other items and features. You can see the full list of new cosmetics at the bottom of this article.If putting together a squad of goofy inflatable T-Rexes isn't your thing, the Summer Bash also adds some beach-themed emotes and includes new Chibi pets to go looking for.

In a big shakeup from his last game, Death Stranding, it's looking like Hideo Kojima is going to partner with Microsoft for a new Xbox game next.Insider Jeff Grubb reports that Microsoft and Kojima have signed a letter of intent for a new game. This is not an official binding contract, importantly, but it seems to point to the possibility that Kojima's next game will be made for Xbox (the name that Microsoft gives to Xbox and PC games). Grubb cited the information to his unnamed sources."This is a key step in the negotiations between the Metal Gear Solid creator and the Xbox company.
