In our earliersingle-player previewofBattlefield 3, I found a few points of contention within the slice of the game’s campaign that I played. Most notably, I disliked control taken away from me in different ways, from quick time events to on-rails levels that relied mostly on my appreciation of the graphics over the actual gameplay. However, for everything that that the campaign seemingly lacked, the multiplayer portions that both Hamza Aziz and I got to try left us pretty highly impressed....

Enough of your ghostly shenanigans Capcom has released a new update for its smash-selling remakeResident Evil 4, bringing with it a selection of bug fixes that, among other things, removes thepreviously published “key item” glitch, and also, (unfortunately for some) puts a stop to a sneaky wall-walking hack. The new patch, available now on PC and consoles, features fixes to several platform-specific problems, including visual rendering problems on Xbox Series X/S, incorrect subtitling on PlayStation, and the removal of a bug that would render the game incompletable due to a rare bug that would occur while trying to obtain a key item during Chapter 12 of the game — You can now swing your knife with reckless abandon....

The last in a week-long series ofStardew Valley1.6 sneak peeks have arrived, and ConcernedApe certainly knows how to save the best until the last. This time, he’s confirmed the addition of a new farm type, to the surprise of no one, but it now has a name — Meadowlands Farm.

Just in time forScarletandViolet Pokemonis coming up on its 30th anniversary in 2026, and it’s been around for longer than some of you have been alive. I remember vividly when some parents at the time called it a fad: well, who’s laughing now? The Pokemon Company, all the way to the bank. Of course, said company likes to take advantage of that nostalgia at any turn, and that includes a brand new interactive digital gallery of the series....

You’ll never see corgis the same way again With the recent cinema release ofBlade Runner 2049, as well as a handful ofBlade Runnershorts onYouTube, I don’t really need to tell you that there is a sense of dread surrounding “Replicants” and enhanced humans. It’s not just a problem with how strong, fast or intelligent these creations are – they manage to bring out the worst in humans, because some humans can switch off their conscience when it comes to artificial life....

News Flash: Call of Duty is popular We all know that theCall of Dutyfranchise rakes in the cash, but this one-day sales mark seems almost scary in size.

“Let’s make the spiritual successor toBanjo-Tooie! Core members of the original team are ready to go. All we need is your support,” reads Twitter account@MingyJongo. Why, that sounds too good to be true! And maybe it is — but I want to believe. “Firstly, [the Twitter] is to test the waters really, about whether anyone would even think making a game that shares that same kind of humour, silly characters, fun game play, great tunes and all that stuff that we enjoy making....

Of course, by enter I don’t mean…enter, but since this is a game by Edmund McMillien (creator ofC*nt), anything’s possible. How these guys will be implemented remains to be seen, but what we do know for sure is thatAlien Hominid(fromAlien HominidandCastle Crashers) andCommander Video(fromBit.Trip Beatand the upcomingBit.Trip Core) will join Tim (fromBraid) as playable guest characters inSuper Meat Boy; the super WiiWare upgrade of last year’s Newgrounds hitMeat Boy. Also announced is the method for unlocking these little bastards....

I miss him (except for Act Zero) A game calledBombing Bastardsis slated for release on Wii U “within the next couple of months,” with a PlayStation 4 version to eventually follow. Can they — can they name it that? Not evenStealth Bastardmade it to PlayStation Networkunscathed. No matter what it’s called, this will likely be remembered as another game that looks likeBomberman. Which, these days, isn’t the worst of fates. It’s not like much is happening with the property....

Capcom has just announced that it’s come to terms with Plan B Entertainment on the rights to a film based on its upcoming game,Dark Void. Plan B Entertainment apparently being Brad Pitt’s own production company, it’s possible/likely he’ll be the one starring in said film. The project has been billed as a sci-fi action franchise, and I’ll let the word “franchise” haunt your imaginations on its own. Capcom calls the movie a “potential starring vehicle” for Pitt, and given he’s not such a bad guy, maybe it won’t be such a bad movie....
