Good luck, Commander While I would sell out any one of you reading right now to have spent the last week or two playingXCOM 2, our review copy must have been lost in the mail. It’s out, probably dope as hell, and my guy Nic ison itworking on the review. And so it’s been a while since we’vetalked about box art. I believe last time we came to the conclusion thatonly Japanese developershave a Hasbro’sClue®what the H-E-double-candlesticks-in-the-conservatory they’re doing when it comes to box art....

Here’s all the patch notes After several days,Xenoblade Chronicles 2players can now boot up their game and download a massive new patch in version 1.3.0. Not only did this welcome update fix no less than eight glitches that were present in the original, but it also brings with it the welcome New Game+ option — billed as Advanced New Game. Monolith Soft actually put some effort into this mode, adding in new Blades, more options to send story-centric Blades out on missions, a new skill for Zeke, level four specials, traveling bard NPCs, hidden Driver affinities, and the ability to decrease levels at inns if you’re into that sort of thing....

Movin’ round while you just prattlin’ There’s something wildly addictive about the music of thePersonaseries, what with its slick samples, block-rockin’ beats and fuckingbafflinglyrics. These infectious rhythms are made non-more-evident than in the great trilogy of titles that make up thePersona Dancingseries on PS4 and PS Vita. And if you wanted to listen to all of the hits from 2018’sPersona 3: Dancing in MoonlightandPersona 5: Dancing in Starlightat whim, then you’re in luck, as this June will see the release of both titles respective OSTs in Japan, which will be made available in both standard format and a resplendent box set....

Updated: Jun 19, 2025 We looked for new codes! The zombie apocalypse is upon us, and you need a base. While I hoped to create something as complex as Tommy’s dam fromThe Last of Us, the reality turned out differently. With only a few scavenged pieces of wood and a single cannon, my base, admittedly, looked pretty sad. Zombie Defensecodes were what changed the game. They give out generous rewards, including but not limited to Gold, materials, and a whole arsenal of weapons....

I am Groot? [Update: It looks like GameSpot pulled the trigger too early. Their tweet (which is embedded below) has been removed and the trailer is currently not available. We’ll do our best to get the official trailer up ASAP. I’m embedded a mirror below and have kept the original text intact.] As promised from the teaser last week, the full trailer forLego Marvel Super Heroes 2has been revealed. This is a more story focused trailer and sets up the events that will unfold throughout the campaign....

Comprehensive The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is going to be different for its HD-ness, but there are plenty of other changes, too. We came acrossa really nice list of all the changesknown (outside the graphical ones) so far for the game on NeoGAF today. We’ll have youhead over there for the full list, but there are some pretty interesting changes worth noting. Apparently, pulling items from the sea floor is now four times faster than in the original....

There’s just too much blast processing Oh hey, it’s that thing that happens every time a new major release comes out. AMD and Nvidia are trading blowsyet againabout the performance problems some have reported in beard-cultivating simulatorThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. According toArs Technica, the argument AMD are making lies in the use of Nvidia’s GameWorks framework. It includes proprietary code for things such as HairWorks (for Geralt’s luxurious hair) and HBAO+, which are becoming popular with developers....

Insert Coin Can you and your super-dude friends save the last arcade in town? That’s the central concept ofArcadegeddon, a cooperative multiplayer title currently in the works at developer IllFonic (ofPredator: Hunting Groundsfame). The colorful third-person shooter is expected to hit PS5 and PC in 2022, with Early Access available right now for a $19.99 entrance fee. The premise ofArcadegeddonis simple yet frightening. In efforts to keep his arcade center — the last in town — from going under, owner Gilly has connected all of his best arcades to make a “Super Game”, because that’s how that works....

Under the ‘Assemble’ banner Ronimo is one of those studios that seems to really care about their games long term. Barring an unfortunate incident with a publisher that essentially nuked the previous generation versions of the game, they’ve been supportingAwesomenautson PC since 2012. It’s also available on current-gen systems too, and in addition to the PS4’s launch in 2014, it’s out now on Xbox One…four years later. If you grab it now through September 12, you’ll also get theStarstormexpansion....

Updated: Jun 01, 2025 We looked for new codes! A dynamic shooter like no other, this game has the best parts of the most iconic titles from the same genre—the gunplay ofApex, the map design ofHalo, and the feel ofPUBG. This experience has something for everyone, and what we have for you areBase Battlescodes. Partaking in guerilla warfare is not cheap, which is why you should redeemBase Battlescodes and get enough money to afford cars, guns, and planes!...

PVP for a few dollars more TheBattleTechreboot Kickstarterlaunched a little more than a month agoand by all appearances has been a total success. Harebrained Schemes smashed through the original funding targets, and now in the final days of the campaign are looking to secure the very last stretch goal, PVP multiplayer. As of the time that I’m writing this, it’s within spitting distance. Little more than $150,000 to go after amassing an impressive $2....
