This official Splatoon 2 headset looks like a pain to use

Uh I completely forgot about how backward some of Nintendo’s decisions were on the Switch — most notably the smartphone app for chatting. Evidently to use the upcoming officialSplatoon 2headset, you’ll need to plug the mic line into a hub, then into a smartphone and the actual Switch for “better quality audio input.” I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’m going to jump through this many hurdles unless I somehow form a proSplatooneSports team....

This Warhammer 40k-turned-Doom army rules

Sundays, in my mind, are best spent sleeping in late and dedicating an afternoon to looking at random things you cannot possibly hope to (and would never truly wish to) afford. Toys are a good candidate, given the absurd asking prices for the highest-quality figures and statues. By the end of the marathon, your eyes will sting, and you’ll have been at it long enough that your desire to impulse buy will have parted....

ThreeA shows off their Portal 2 and Lost Planet figures

Atlas and P-Body are almost ready to science ThreeA toys showed off theirPortal 2Atlas and P-Body concepts nearly a year ago, and since then we haven’t heard a thing about them. That was until at the ThreeA event held at Beast Kingdom Toys in Taiwan recently. Personally I’d like clean versions of the twoPortalcharacters, but the dirty and worn down design doesn’t look that bad here. No other details were revealed, but at least we know they’re still in the works....

Torchlight Frontiers continues the ARPG series

Rekindle the flame! When developer Runic Gamesclosed its doors last year, I’m sure many fans weren’t expecting to hear about anotherTorchlightin the future.

Ubisoft, please make a game about Lady GaGa’s ‘Just Dance’

Ubisoft recentlyfiled a trademarkfor ‘Just Dance,’ and while we’d probably not be wrong in guessing it’s some Wii Balance Board fitness/dancing game, we’re holding on to hope. Holding on to the hope, of course, that it’s a game about and featuring the unbelievable musical situation that is Lady GaGa. Why? Because we can’t find our drink, our keys, or our phone. Because despite the fact that we love this record, baby, we can’t see straight anymore....

Yeah, Raiden IV, which is coming to Switch, still rules nearly 15 years later

Like a MOSS Look, can every shmup just eventually get a re-release on everything? Preferably on a platform that won’t eventually go defunct? You know, I’m something of ascientistshmup collector myself, having gathered as many of these gems as possible on Steam: whereI can enjoy some of them with a vertical TATE display setup. There’s a few franchises that I can just blindly jump into and lose track of time in: like say,Raidenfor example (how convenient!...

All missions in MW3 Zombies Act 1: Welcome to Operation Deadbolt

It might be a bit of an understatement, butCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode can be unpredictable. That’s unfortunately what you get when you don’t have friends who play the game and therefore must be matched up with randoms. But, how would you like to make things a bit clearer? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombiesworks a little something like this — you infiltrate an infected zone, surrounded with potential contracts to complete, and you can procure additional equipment and items on-site in real-time before you choose to exfiltrate....

Amazon Canada leaks a bunch of upcoming Atlus titles

Poor Atlus. First the ESRB leaks their games (although to Atlus’ credit, they didlay down the law in a hilarious press release), now Amazon Canada is doing the same. Spotted bySiliconerayesterday, a total of five titles were listed, includingKnights in the Nightmare,Crimson Gem Saga,Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier,Dokapon Journey, andShin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.
