Square Enix is helping gamers to stay occupied during these unique times by offering up free and discounted and titles as part of its "Stay Home and Play" campaign. It began with a couple of free games, those being Tomb Raider (2013) and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, which combined for 15 million downloads. Now it's offering a massive game bundle for pennies on the dollar. As part of this campaign, Square Enix said it would be "introducing Stay Home and Play Steam bundles offering deep discounts on great games" from its library, with all of the "proceeds benefiting Food Banks and other charities in North America and Europe." It's a stellar idea, and a way for gamers to continue practicing...

Developer Eidos Montreal is putting the final touches on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided before publisher Square Enix releases the cyberpunk thriller in about a week and a half. If you're wondering whether or not your PC has the goods to run the title, minimum and recommended system specs are now on Steam, as well information about preloading the title prior to its release. Anyone with a relatively modern PC should be able to run Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The minimum requirements aren't that steep, calling for the following: OS:Windows 7 64-bit w/ SP1 CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent RAM: 8GB of RAM Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (2GB) HDD/SSD: 45GB That will get...

When Square Enix rolled-out its latest mobile game, Deus Ex: The Fall, to iOS devices, fans of the series hoped for an exciting experience, close to what Human Revolution on the PC delivered. For some, that wasn't the case, leading to the insta-meme: Deus Ex: The Fail. The problem stemmed from the fact that the game wasn't designed to work on jailbroken iPhones and iPads, and not surprisingly, a lot of gamers have those. The biggest problem: Square Enix did not warn gamers in advance about this limitation. It seems obvious that the reason Square Enix did this was to help prevent piracy - after all, a jailbroken device enables users to install apps outside of the App Store, something stock...

A new chapter in the Deus Ex universe dropped yesterday and all reviews indicate that it's actually a pretty good mobile game, relative to the limits of that platform. Unfortunately, there's a substantial hidden caveat. If you own a jailbroken device, Deus Ex: The Fall won't let you pull the trigger. You're allowed to buy the game no problem, but as soon as you try to shoot anything, the game helpfully informs you that only non-jailbroken devices are actually able to fire. While I suppose this technically aids an extra layer of difficulty to anyone wanting to try a hardcore sneak mode, it's not going to be much fun for people who prefer more traditional play -- or simply want a range of options....

Most companies, when caught removing something from a game box that the publisher meant to put there, might express shame or at least pretend it was an accident. Not GameStop. Yesterday, news broke that the massive retailer had given orders to open all copies of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and remove the coupon for a free copy of the game, courtesy of OnLive. OnLive, for those of you who aren't familiar with it, is a gaming service that streams titles to a diminutive MicroConsole (if you want to play on a TV), or can be set up to stream titles directly to a Mac/PC. It's an online service that purports to be the future of gaming through digital download, and while it's not exactly in Steam's league,...
