Conan plays Watch Dogs, snark ensues

By Will Fulton Published June 3, 2014

Check out our full written Watch Dogs review.

Few people are better at deflating a massively popular game than Conan O’Brien, whose Clueless Gamer segment has him playing hot new releases and providing the perplexed, hilarious commentary of an acerbic, non-gamer comedian. The latest installment has Conan and gamer friend Aaron Bleyaert checking out Watch Dogs, Ubisoft’s hotly-anticipated open world hackathon.

Highlights include accidental murder, a failed attempt to go straight as a UPS delivery driver, and the huge revelation that you can use Chicago’s ctOS to spy on couples having implied sex, but disappointingly nothing else. As always, the segment is hilarious, so watch the whole video below and check out the other games he’s covered on Team Coco’s website.

You’ll have to wait a little bit longer than expected to play Dune: Awakening

Characters look out at a vast desert in Dune: Awakening.

Hold your ornithopters, folks; Dune: Awakening was just delayed until June 10. Funcom released a statement explaining the decision, stating that due to feedback from beta testers, the company is pushing the launch date back by three weeks so they have "the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one." A head start for eligible players will begin on June 5.

That said, games journalists and other content creators are still playing the early parts of the game, and the embargo on their experiences will lift on April 25. Our impressions of the game will go live around that time, too, so tune back in to read our thoughts.

3 new Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (April 11-13)

A wide shot of Hazel and Shakin Bones in South of Midnight.

While the news is starting to die down about the Switch 2, one conversation is only gaining steam.

We still have Clair Obscur to look forward to soon, but each of these games is perfect for filling a dead weekend.
