River City Goodies If I achieved anything last week, anything at all, it is that I secured myself a plush pairing of my favorite skull-cracking cutie-pies, Kyoko and Misako, commonly known as the River City Girls. The dolls are part of a new line of merchandise temporarily available to order over at Limited Run Games, just enough to bridge the gap while we wait for upcoming releasesRiver City Girls ZeroandRiver City Girls 2....
Last night, on the recommendation ofBlindsideDork, my wife and I watched the Spanish-language horror film[Rec]. At one point, a child uses her teeth to rip off a chunk of her mother’s face. And my wife wants to have a baby. Clearly, she’s demented. So I was thinking about that — the face ripper child — pretty much all day long, which is why we missed this reporting this crap today:...
It popped up last night Shantae: Risky’s Revengegot a stealth update on iOS last night that allows for the use ofMFi controller add-ons. The game was never impossible to play on a touch screen as it wasn’t that difficult, but of course, tactile controls always win out for a precision platformer — or at least, the option for them does. I gave it a test run with theLogitech PowerShell and I have to say — it works like a charm....

The lengthy cinematic introduces us toFortnite‘s team of heroes, as they furiously compete to out-zing and out-smirk each other, whilst protecting doe-eyed innocents from an onslaught of the game’s antagonists, the Husks....
I just woke up, Mark, don’t put me back to sleep Sony did not do the best job of explaining all of the benefits of the PS4 Pro yesterday. We know itwon’t supportUHD Blu-Ray and that most games won’t be outputting in native4K resolution, but those details weren’t mentioned at the actual live stream event. Now it looks like we’ll have some better information. This may just be an industry fluff piece, but getting PS4 lead architect Mark Cerny to explain the philosophy behind the PS4 Pro and learn more about the details of the system definitely clears things up....
What if Mary Lou Retton was an unlucky cat in a global warming wasteland? Nic Rowen’sreview ofRain Worldseemed sympathetic but sad, which makes sense given that the game does a lot to invoke those two feelings. The bad news is, he was also feeling pretty disappointed when he said “I feel so badly for this game in a way. It seems so close to being something special and wonderful, but is just undermined at every turn by baffling design choices, poor controls, and frustration....
It’s a puzzle game Puzzle games can be so great. Even those guys who are all like “Gunz an multiplayur orr GTFO” can’t deny the simple joys ofSuper Puzzle Fighter II TurboorPlanet Puzzle League. That said, no one knows why puzzle games can be so great or so bad. This mystery kept youngTim Rogers(ofAction Button Entertainment) up at night. “Why the heck are good puzzle games so enthralling, and why are bad puzzle games so dang boring?...
No-Kart Nintendo’s latest mobile ventureMario Kart Tourlaunched a fortnight ago to, well, hardly arubber-burning critical reception. Built around a particularly egregiousmonetizationandgacha system, combined with fairly blah gameplay, it was surprising to see the disdain directed toward a title bearing the iconicMario Kartbrand. Still, the race is long – those record-breaking 90 million downloads didn’t come from nowhere, after all – and today will seeMario Kart Tourreach the next city on its world circuit: Tokyo, Japan....
