Man, this took forever Xbox is at it again. At the quietest time of year for video games — when there just isn’t all that much new stuff to play — Xbox throws its Ultimate Game Sale. That means a bajillion games are discounted across Xbox One and Xbox 360 through July 30. Here are a few standout deals as far as we’re concerned:Cuphead($15.99),Titanfall 2Ultimate Edition ($6.00),PUBG($20.09),PreyandDishonored 2bundle ($26.00),Resident Evil 7Gold Edition ($29....

Somehow not called the ‘Furious’ Edition Along with confirming the release date forDarksiders IIItoday (basically mirroring theleak from this past weekend), THQ Noric has unveiled the various different editions of the game you can grab. Releasing on November 27 with the standard and collector’s edition, there is a ludicrously expensive $400 “Apocalypse Edition” that blows me away with its price point. To try and justify that crazy MSRP, the “Apocalypse Edition” will include not only the game and a steelbook but statues of all three main protagonists from the series and one for Vulgrim, the merchant from the series....

Everything that begins, must end. Ideally, everything that begins must also come back after a two or three month break with an entirely new batch of episodes. But that’s not as catchy. So, that was season one of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin. We hope you enjoyed it. We further hope that if you come to PAX, you’ll check out our panel entitled “Hey Ash, Whatcha Filmin'” on Friday, September 4th, at 12pm in the Unicorn Theatre....

Update 1.01 for the PC version ofBorderlandsis here! Thank goodness, because after looking over the patch notes, you can’t help but notice just how bigsome of these issuesreally are. Take note: if you own a retail copy of the game, you may get the patchdirectly from Gearbox; if you own a digital copy, whether it be from Steam or elsewhere, you’ll have to wait on your distributor to get it out to you....

As with anyFinal Fantasy XIVexpansion,Dawntrailhas more content once the MSQ is complete. In this case, there are two new level 100dungeonsto unlock which will eventually become those which can be taken part in through Duty Roulette: Leveling. If you’ve ever thought “hey, this dungeon seems pretty tame, the scenery isn’t attacking me or anything”, then the Strayborough Deadwalk is absolutely the dungeon for you. If you want my advice, don’t stop to smell the roses and absolutely don’t stop to appreciate the backdrop – it attacks, and it hurts....

I’ve decided that I’ve been about as cruel toHydrophobiaas I should be, and the time has come to giveHydrophobia Prophecy, the self-styled “comprehensive reinvention”, the benefit of the doubt. Despite originally beingunable to take criticism, it seems the studio’s U-turn is quite sincere and Dark Energy Digital is serious about releasing a good game. The team has released athree-pageWord document detailing improvements, which include character remodels, deeper narrative, an enhanced engine, rebalanced combat and more....

One more for the road Video game merch providers Fangamer have gotten in a small batch of paraphernalia based on the fantastically atmospheric indie-hitVa11 Hall-a: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. The gear, available now for pre-order, includes a smart pin badge, a pint glass and coaster set and, best of all, a slick new shirt, by designer Nina Matsumoto, which features the face of hard-working, hard-living protagonist Julianne Stingray, better known to her friends and troubled patrons as “Jill”....

Halo 3fever has rocked America — with nationwide midnight launches, marketing tie-ins, and$129.99 kitten helmets, it’s nearly impossible to leave your house, or turn on your television without feeling the full blast of Bungie’s first-person shooter monster. But is it making noise in Japan? With mere hours from a Japanese launch, Master Chief and company are preparing to finish the fight in the Land of the Rising Sun. Despite the well-respected (and historically harsh) Japanese videogaming magazineFamitsugiving the game high marks (37 out of 40), if past interest in any indicator, Microsoft and Bungie might be fighting an uphill battle....

Get to know the people who make great videogames [Update: Show’s over folks! The rerun should be live this week. In the meantime, he’re a clip of David talking about working with George Lucas fromVideo Games: The Movie.] David Fox created the best point and click game ever (my opinion).

We may not get a sequel to cult-classicVampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, but upcoming PC/Xbox 360 titleDarkmay fill that niche. Darkis a third-person stealth-action game in which the player takes on the role of Eric Bane, a newborn vampire who seeks revenge on a mysterious corporation. With sneaking in the shadows, using supernatural powers, focusing on melee combat, taking place in the modern world, and mixing in RPG elements (leveling up, dialog trees), it’s not hard to tell whereDarktakes inspiration from....
