You can grab the game from theChrome Web Storeright now, where it’s on sale at an introductory price of $9.99 for the next week. Following that promotional offer,From Dustwill sell for $14.99. Slowly, but surely, the browser is starting to become a place where games are played. Chrome is looking a little bit more like a tablet interface all the time and Google seems to be doing a better job of playing the “all-roads-lead-to-the-browser” game than Microsoft did back in the old days....

A single-player tournament? UK retail chain GAME is holding aStreet Fighter Vtournament beginning on January 26 across more than 300 stores. The elimination series will eventually winnow players down to a final set of matches competing at Insomnia for a£1,000 purse in late February. In a somewhat baffling choice though, the initial series of qualification rounds will see players testing themselves againstSFV‘s CPU instead of other players. Would be warriors will slug it out against the computer in a sort of time-attack, best of five rounds race....

SGDQ inevitably postponed As everyone comes together (but stays appropriately far apart!) to help solve the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the speedrunning community is taking steps to contribute in the only way they know how: By beating video games extremely quickly. Games Done Quick has announced an emergency charity event called Corona Relief Done Quick. It’ll be an online-only event (obviously) that takes place the weekend of April 17-19. All donations will go to Direct Relief....

Coming to PC and mobile The originalTerra Battlecame out during a time I wasn’t all that into mobile gaming. I had my nice new iPhone back then, yes, but that was 2014 dammit and I hadMario Kart 8andBayonetta 2to play. It’s a different story in 2017. Now, I do a lot of gaming on my LG and iPad and this time I’m not going to miss my chance to play the next game from Mistwalker, even if it isn’tThe Last Story 2like I really, really, really, really want it to be....

No longer joking around A new character trailer featuring Harley Quinn has been released forInjustice: Gods Among Us, and it offers some tasty morsels of story tease. In the aftermath of Joker’s destruction of Metropolis, Harley has established herself as a heroic figure and has a fair amount of bitterness toward her time with the Clown Prince of Crime. And what of the Joker himself? It seems that he’s not in Kansas anymore, and not the Joker responsible for killing everyone Superman loves (leading the hero to establish his new world order)....

MMMMMM good Terry Cavanagh’s gravity-flipping platformerVVVVVVis beloved for many reasons, and for a lot of fans, one of those reasons is Magnus “Souleye” Pålsson’s kicking electronic soundtrack,PPPPPP.

To commemorate theiOS and Android releasesof VVVVVV, Souleye has teamed up with Jules “FamilyJules7x” Conroy to produce an album made up entirely of metal renditions of the soundtrack.MMMMMMfeatures every song fromVVVVVV, as well as two tracks that were added forVVVVVV 2....

Now the game haters of the world will find something to complain about in everything fromCall of Duty 4toHello Kitty Online, but I can promise you they won’t even noticeHomie Rollerz, a new DS title made about those little plastic figures of Mexican gang leaders and their generously tattooed ghetto chicas that you can get out of quarter machines. In fact, I predict it’ll sail right under their radar, never producing as much as a red flag....

If you’re looking to make gear, weapons, or even certain furniture items inFinal Fantasy XIV, you’re going to need some form of leather. Sadly, getting the respective animal hide or skin isn’t enough, and you’ll need some Alumen to turn it into leather. One of the most commonly used Alumen for high level Leathers is Eblan Alumen. Thankfully, this resource can be gathered easily using a level 84+ Miner. How to get Eblan Alumen in Final Fantasy XIV If you’re looking for some Eblan Alumen, and you’re not willing to spend any money on the Marketboard in order to take that shortcut, which is wise considering the price bump that’s currently occurring due to the resources newfound need inDawntrail, you need to head to Garlemald....

Hatch all your eggs in one basket Pokemon Scarlet & Violethave streamlined several longstanding mechanics in the franchise. While Pokemon breeding was once handled by Pokemon Day Care buildings in past games,you may breed Pokemon at any time in Generation 9 by hosting a picnic. The past rules of breeding still apply, so the moment you find a Ditto, you’ll be able to make duplicates of any Pokemon you want....

With the change comes increased support: the new system count is NES, Famicom, Super Nintendo, Super Famicom, Genesis, Mega Drive, and Game Boy Advance (plus Color and original Game Boy).

Updated: July 26, 2025 We looked for new codes! And here I was, hoping that this was a game about getting a tattoo yourself or tattooing other players. But, alas,Ink Gameis yet anotherSquid-Game-inspired experience that follows pretty much the same old formula. Maybe if you get rich by winning, you can afford a really cool tattoo. As usual withSquid-GameRoblox iterations,Ink Gamecodes would be of great help to give you some advantage or at least a cool suit to wear....
