‘Gods, please forgive me’ Roughly a year and a half after its launch, Namco is ending its free-to-play PlayStation 3 experimentSoulcalibur: Lost Swords. It was apparently not great and coupled with a bad microtransaction scheme. Namco even made a real fucking sad trailer about the service ending. Just about 2 million downloaded the fighting game, which will cease sale of certain in-game items on September 30 and the rest October 27....
Please, God, let there be someone else who finds that caption funny. I’d hate to be alone in this world. Sony released a new trailer forinFAMOUStoday and it’s pretty damn cool. This video is focused on how you’ll travel throughout Empire City, be it across the rooftops, on power lines or using the elevated train. It also shows a little bit of combat but it’s really only in service to the main goal of depicting the game’s environments....
Just when you thought thatonline passescouldn’t get more amazing, it’s been discovered that they can expire, locking brand new copies of games out of various multiplayer modes. What abrilliantnew feature. Attention was called to the issue by aNeed For Speed: Hot Pursuitplayer onNeoGAF, and he was joined by others with similar experiences. It’s been noted in the thread that the fine print absolves publishers from any responsibility, with warnings stating that online passes can indeed expire....
It’s almost impossible to describePayday: The Heistwithout bringing upLeft 4 Dead. The crime caper is undeniably similar to Valve’s zombie adventure, based as it is on four-player first-person co-op, providing challenging situations against immense opposition. It makes total sense, then, thatPaydayandLeft 4 Deadwill soon be meeting each other face to face. Valve is working with Overkill Software to make an official crossover, which sounds … pretty cool in my book....
I’m not sure why you’d prefer using a console to look at porn over a PC or your phone if either are handy, considering the frustrating browser mechanics on many of them and the way ads like to display, but people like to do it. Can’t argue that fact. So PornHub has made these handy infographics detailing which consoles viewers use, how long they stay on the site, and other interesting tidbits of information....
Confirmed for North America I screamed. I screamed loudly. It’s not like we didn’t know that 3DS RPGPersona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinthwas coming eventually. But to finally know that it’s in the works and will be in stores this Fall is exciting. Thrilling.As I said last week, I’m already in love with this game. Now I’m having an All-Out Attack on my computer keyboard. Persona Qtakes characters from bothPersona 3andPersona 4and throws them into anEtrian Odyssey-ish world for a mash-up that would stop the heart of any Atlus fan....

The expansion forTwo Worlds IIis around the corner, but how does one do a pirate-themed expansion for a pretty large open-world role-playing game? It turns out you do it by adding a lot of new content to play with and play through, a new story, and a laarrrrge update on the tech side. With a new area added to the existing world,Two Worlds II: Pirates of the Flying Fortresswill take you on a side adventure with a pirate theme....
Doing Konami’s job again I feel compelled to broadcast Konami releases these days, since Konami does such a poor job of it. TakeNew Little King’s Story, for instance. In Europe, Konami wouldn’t even tell people if it’d been localized, then suddenly it was released without warning. Customersdidn’t know the game was outuntil after it’d sat there for sale. Oh, Konami. In any case,New Little King’s Storyfor PS Vita available to download for $39....
Also here’s some screesn of the Companion App Want some sick new gamer threads, bro? Well Konami has partnered up with Puma to put outsome Diamond Dogs brandedjackets and shoes based onMetal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. The jackets are running for 15,000 yen ($146), while the shoes are going for 20,000 ($195) and 22,000 yen ($214). Then there’s the limited edition Seiko watch for 35,000 yen ($342). I won’t lie, the GM jacket and G-Trainer Mid shoes look awesome....
It’s what’s for dinner Alphabearhas been out for a few weeks now, but we haven’t done much talking about itsince its release. That’s a dang shame, because it might just be one of my favorite games of 2015. On its surface it’s just a word game, but there is actually a deep strategic element to it as well. Using big words opens up more letters for the next turn, which increases the chance of failing to use a letter before it turns into a rock....
Users have been receiving temporary bans for “exploiting”Star Wars: The Old Republic, asconfirmed by BioWare recently. The only trouble is, the players were not really breaking the game in anyway — they’ve only been doing what the game has allowed them to do. The issue stems fromplayers visiting Ilumbelow their character has reached Level 40, and opening boxes to find high level loot. If a player does this too many times (and I should point out in fairness that the banned parties do this alot), they will get their account suspended for potentially damaging the game’s economy....
