Watch Conan O'Brien, Josh Norman and Von Miller Play Doom on Clueless Gamer

By Mike Epstein February 5, 2016

Clueless Gamer Super Bowl Edition: "Doom"

So a panther, a bronco, and Conan O’Brien walk into a hotel conference room … in the newest episode of O’Brien’s Clueless Gamer video series. Just like last year, the late-night host has put together a special Super Bowl edition of the show, bringing players from each team together to play a little game before the big one on Sunday. This year, Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman and Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller were on hand to test out the long-awaited reboot of Doom.

After admonishing Miller for beating the Patriots (and subsequently making his daughter cry), Conan mostly gawks at the game’s gore (if you haven’t seen the trailer, there’s a lot of blood and dismemberment). Miller and Norman were also taken aback at times, but seem able to get past it. Lastly, Miller and Norman compete to see who can last the longest on the game’s “hardest level.” Neither of them lasts very long. In the end, though, Norman earned the 2016 Clueless Gamer Doom trophy, which, of course, features a severed head.

Seattle Seahawk and former Clueless Gamer guest Marshawn Lynch swung by as well. Lynch, who walked away from Mortal Kombat X during last year’s Clueless Gamer super bowl video after a particularly brutal fatality, did not seem at all disturbed by the graphic violence in Doom.

After years of cryptic reports and leaked artwork for “Doom 4,” publisher Bethesda teased its intention to reboot the historic shooter franchise in early 2014, offering access to the beta for a game simply called Doom as a pre-order bonus for Wolfenstein: The New Order. The publisher officially announced the series return during a keynote at E3 2015. Most recently, Bethesda announced that Doom will come to PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on May 13.

Should you play Hades 2 in early access or wait for the full game?

After what felt like a much longer wait than it really was, Hades 2 is out now in early access. PC players can dive into the roguelike sequel right now and start their war against Chronos. Not everyone is rushing to buy their copy, though. Since its release, I've seen a common question across social media and my own personal circles: "Should I play it now or wait for 1.0?"

It's a great question. Personally, I rarely ever play games in early access. I'd much rather prefer to wait for a game's full release so I can play the feature-complete version all at once. I intended to do the same with Hades 2, especially since it's more narrative driven than your average roguelike, but I made a rare exception here. Call me weak, but the good news is that I can now answer that burning question: Should you play Hades 2 now or later? You won't be let down either way.
Should you play early access or not?
If you're skeptical about early access, I don't blame you. The term generally implies that a game is incomplete in key ways, which can lead to an unfulfilling experience. This year's surprise hit Palworld is an extreme example of that. While it hooked players right out of the gate, the early access version was fairly bare bones. That led to a major player drop-off as developer Pocketpair, Inc. looked to staff up to keep up with demand. Roguelikes tend to be especially unsatisfying in early access too. Rogue Legacy 2 initially launched with a limited taste of a full run, including only four character classes. You were better off waiting for 1.0 unless you actively wanted to help shape the game.

The best Arcana Cards in Hades 2

The arcana cards menu in Hades 2.

Fitting right in line with the new more magical and "witchy" tone of Hades 2, Arcana Cards have been introduced as a new upgrade system to further customize your runs.

These unique cards grant you new abilities and buffs on whatever run you take them on, but the system isn't as simple as activating them and reaping the rewards. Like all things in this game, you will need to slowly unlock them and make choices about which ones you want to equip and which to leave off. The system isn't as complex as reading real tarot cards, but there are enough of them that it wouldn't hurt to have a little help deciding which ones are the most effective.

Netflix subscribers are getting five games, including Sonic Mania Plus

Sonic give a peace sign in an animation.

Netflix unveiled the lineup of games it plans to bring to its game catalog over the course of May. The ones that stand out the most are Sega's excellent Sonic Mania Plus and Askiisoft's violently satisfying action game Katana Zero.

Sonic Mania Plus is the definitive 2D Sonic game. Made by fan-game makers turned game developers, Sonic Mania Plus is equal parts a throwback to Sonic's Genesis games and a clever platformer for the modern day. It has been available on PC and consoles for years, but Netflix is finally giving players an official way to play it natively on mobile. Sonic Mania Plus is available through Netflix starting today, May 7.
