Chrono Trigger on PC will be getting a ‘retro graphics’ option

Taking it back to ’95 A lot of people were initially stoked when Square Enix announced that beloved old-school RPGChrono Triggerwas coming to Steam. That sweetness turned a little sour when it was then realised that it was the mobile port, which features new visuals and a new UI system that turned off many in the community.

Darkside Chronicles trailer: Daisy dukes, bald bastard

As a fan of Capcom’s earlier Wii titleResident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, I’ve been looking forward to hearing more about the follow-up, calledThe Darkside Chronicles.We saw a trailerwhen the title was first announced, but this new one (below the jump) does a much better job of showing off the game in acton. Instead of backstory, we’re getting lots of in-game footage here, and it all looks really good. See Leon (Leeeeoooonnnn!) with his cool flipped-to-the-side hair, in action, back in the late 1990s in Raccoon City....

EA Sports UFC fighters look great, have detailed nipples

Nip tips When I previewedEA Sports UFClast E3 my intent wasn’tto write erotica, but I did, a little. Similarly, my intent when I watched thisUFCtrailer wasn’t to focus on the highly detailed, true-to-life nipple recreation on each fighter, but I did.
