That boy ain’t right “This is a perfect example of the bizarre shit happening with the kid’s face,” recountsGod of Wardirector Cory Barlog. “Look at that! That’s some creepy likeFringeshit right there. That’s likeHellraiser.” The clip comes from a Sony-sanctioned highlight reel of silly glitches that popped up mid-development. The final game was a tightly-framed adventure, but a lot of wonky stuff happened along the way. (Note: Some late-game scenes and encounters are briefly shown....

PUSH THE BUTTON WhenSuper Meat Boycame to Switch earlier this year, it brought an exclusive “Race Mode” with it. This allowed players to verse each other in a split-screen race to the finish line withSuper Meat Boy’ssignature difficulty intact. If you weren’t keen to drop more money on another version just to try it, then you can rest easy. Race mode is finally making its way to PC. The Team Meat Twitter account posted a teaser yesterday with the message, “Maybe check out Steam tomorrow…” and an image of Race Mode....

New Teenage Pokemon every Sunday morning [Teenage Pokemon is a cartoon show about Pokemon in their middle stage of evolution — not a girl, not yet a women. New episodes every week.] When I was growing up, social classism wasn’t really an issue in “gamer culture”. Sure, if all you could afford was a Genesis, then you might be quick to say that games on the SNES or IBM computers weren’t as good....

Hefty Speaking to Game Informer, Nintendo finally let people know what the maximum amount of storage will be for the Nintendo Switch, which ships with 32GB — and…drum roll…it’s 2TB! That’s quite a bit of space for non-proprietary micro SDXC cards, which you can pick up at your local big box store. Well,you wouldbe able to pick them up if they existed as Nintendo muses that 2TB models are not actually being sold — but when they are, they’ll support them....

CD Projekt has confirmed thatThe Witcher 2: Assassins of Kingswill be a multiplatform release, coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as PC when it launches in 2011. This will be the very first time that Geralt of Rivia will appear on a home console, though not for want of trying in the past. The originalWitchergame was supposed to be coming to consoles asRise of the White Wolf, but the project was scrapped before it could go any further....

Books, aye, remember them?! As we all know, Geralt of Rivia is back onfine video game formwithThe Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, but lesser known is his return to print withSword of Destiny. First published in 1992, Andrzej Sapkowski’s second short story collection is seeing a timely UK release for those wanting more of the monster slayer’s exploits. I’ve been reading through it, this past week, and as someone who’s only familiar with the games, it’s been an enjoyable ride, mostly down to Sapkowski’s hardboiled take on the usual dark fantasy fare....

Come on, Lara, you can do this… An as-yet-unannounced compilation of recentTomb Raiderreleases appeared on Microsoft’s Xbox Store this past weekend,only to vanish just as quickly. According to the long-gone listing,spotted by ResetEra users, TheTomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogyis comprised of three titles taken from Lara Croft’s grisly modern reboot:Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition,Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, andShadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. The trilogy supports HDR/4K visuals and comes packaged with all previously released DLC, along with each title’s respective online/multiplayer modes....

I have been playingThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimall day today, but had to briefly tear myself away from all the mammoths and flamethrower-hands to unbox the Collector’s Edition, which arrived just soon after my review copy did. Retailing for a princely $149.99, theSkyrimCollector’s Edition contains a copy of the game, an incredibly fancy art book, and a statue of a dragon. It’s a definite must-have for hardcore fans of the series, although good luck getting it home on the bus — the box is huge!...

If you even keep just a tiny watch on the video game world, you won’t be shocked to learn thatStarfieldhas been quite the big deal. As of September, Bethesda’s epic sci-fi RPG was the top ranking game in the US in terms of sales. That’s according to a chart uploaded by Circana analyst Mat Piscatella on Twitter. The image gives a rundown of the twenty best-selling games in the US market between the end of August and September 30....

Spoilers, obviously BioShock Infinite’sBurial At Sea Episode 1is on the way, and you can get a quick look at the first five minutes courtesy of Irrational Games above. Although there are obvious spoilers as to the setup of the DLC, not a whole lot is revealed, as the video is mostly just a walking and talking affair. I still think it’s weird to see the Elizabeth we know and love turned into a cold-hearted smoker (that based on this video, feels a lot more generic and less likeable), but we’ll see if Irrational has a method to this madness when the DLC actually drops....

Is it mandatory that ancient, abandoned worlds be filled with runes? InEnshrouded,runes aren’t nearly as important as they are in, say,Elden Ring, but they’re still something that every player should be collecting. Technically you can find runes just about anywhere in the game. They show up from time to time in treasure chests that are tucked away in secret corners all over the map. The best place to farm runes, though, is in the Shroud....

Let the apples vs. oranges battle begin! Skullgirls: 2nd Encoreis perhaps the most beautiful high res, hand-drawn 2D fighter ever. It’s been critically acclaimed for years and is available on just about every platform as of today, its launch date for Nintendo Switch. Just last week, another 2D fighter calledRoof Ragewas released on the same console. This one is all-new, still working to build an audience, combining elements of AAA fighters likeStreet FighterandSmash Bros....
