Taurus Demon is toast Twitch Plays Dark Soulshad been a bit of a shambles right from the get go. Players spent days and days stuck in the very first section of the game, at which point the creator of the stream changed the rules and made the entire game almost turn-based: it pauses while the audience is voting on what to do next. Thanks to this change the pace has massively picked up, and they’ve managed to beat the game’s second boss (and the first outside of the tutorial zone), the Taurus Demon....

It looks like Ubisoft might be joining the War on Second Hand Value initiative by adding its own online pass to certain games, starting withDriver: San Francisco.GamerZinesclaims the upcoming “Uplay Passport” will work like other online passes that you either get with a brand new copy of a game or buy off Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. A simple look on theUplay websitehints at something coming soon. From what I recall, that site actually worked normally when I had to use it last year to link it to Facebook for thatProject Legacygame, but it was kind of a mess to navigate....

The V1.04 update is now live inWWE 2K25. It includes a few major changes and a permanent solution to MyRise mode crashes. Advanced access hasn’t been without issues, as the MyRise mode has been filled with crashes. Similarly, Steam users could not download the game because of an incorrect launch date was being shown for the Deadman and Bloodline Editions. Thankfully, the latest update should resolve most, if not all, of the issues plaguing players during advanced access....

In all fairness, he tried to warn them Zynga’s been ahot topicin the news lately, but this gaffe is quite a bit more lighthearted than the Mattrick saga. It’s also pretty embarrassing.

However, Zynga didn’t own this domain — Eric Mueller did....

No Oddjobs On August 25, just a few days from now, the Nintendo 64 classicGoldenEye 007will celebrate its 20th anniversary. That’s 20 years of jumping off that dam, 20 years of golden guns and 20 years of chaotic multiplayer in the Archives and other levels sometimes but mostly just the Archives. Originally set to debut on the SNES as an on-rails shooter,GoldenEye 007was rebuilt from the ground up for the N64 and missed the release of the movie by nearly two years....

How many branches make a good ending? A handful of days ago, I finished my first playthrough ofThe Walking Dead: A New Frontier. I was taken aback by how multi-faceted the run-up to the final moments turned out to be: lots of important choices, lots of different approaches that depended on your opinion of certain characters, and multiple potential missteps were present in the final chapter. I discussed this with my boyfriend, who has only played the first season and was shocked that Telltale had even gotten to the third....

Harada speaks The whole “Xeno” series is so incredibly rich with history, you could write a compelling book about its exploits. It (in theory) began life on the original PlayStation asXenogearsunder the Square Enix umbrella in 1998; which is arguably still the best entry in the pseudo-franchise. Out of the ashes of that game director Tetsuya Takahashi founded Monolith Soft, which partnered with Bandai Namco (just Bandai at the time, please) onXenosaga: a spiritual successor and totally notXenogearsfollow-up....

Yet more hidden secrets As is often the case inDestiny 2,Bungie’s new raidcontains somehidden secrets. Two of these secrets are hidden chests that give players another chance to get a good roll on weapons or armor they have already earned in Root of Nightmares. Since the loot in the raid is unique to that particular content, it is highly sought after and a good roll could be the difference between an average build and a fantastic one....

The intriguing horror gameAMYis finally making its appearance on January 10, where it’ll hit the PlayStation Network for $12.99. It’ll come to Xbox Live Arcade the following day, for the strangely reduced price of 800 Microsoft Points (that’s ten bucks). In Europe, both the PSN and XBLA versions will land on January 10. So far, nobody’s found out why the PSN version costs more. It’s all very strange, but there you have it....
