What intro will Jim come up with next? Hamza and residentKillzonefanatic Jim played a bit ofKillzone: Shadow Fallmultiplayer at PAX Prime 2013. This is one of those series that represents a huge gap in my gaming library and, considering this will be a launch title, I can see it being a starting point for some of you who are in a similar place and intend to pick up a PlayStation 4 in November....

Pokemon Scarlet & Violetsurpass expectations as well Just today we touched basewith Nintendo to see how their top 10 all-time best-seller list for Switch was doing, andPokemon Scarlet & Violetkind of smashed the windows on the way in. It turns out a few other games are doing well, too! Nintendo reportsthatSplatoon 3has sold 10.13 million units since its September 2022 launch, firmly placing it just outside of the top 10 list, somewhat in reach ofPokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee‘s 15....

Today, Telltale Games posted amystery videoof an unknown game on its Vine account. No doubt taking some notes fromBethesda’s last Vine tease, it should be no surprise that developers are taking advantage of the short videos to show off their upcoming games. Titled ‘Day 2,’ the Vine video features a bulletin board full of photos and information, and ends with a mysterious hand placing another photo of a man named Vince....

Sorry for the bad sound this week! I did a bit of yelling because Zoe Quinn dropped so many bombs on me. She’s cultivated a program that encourages women to become game developers. She’s the designer of a fighting game that uses REAL FLAMETHROWERS. She’s working to make the text adventure relevant again. It’s hard not to get loud when someone is doing so many incredible things at once. Tune in next Sunday at 1pm PST/4pm EST (either here on front page or on ourTwitch channel) for our next live stream podcast where we talk toDamian Sommerabout his weird ass games....

The case of the 14GB patch It appears that upcoming Switch titlesL.A. NoireandWWE 2K18will likely need a microSD card for their releases, particularly if in digital format, as both games struggle to fit within the Nintendo console’s native memory. The digital edition of Rockstar’s noir mystery will weigh in at a whopping 29GB, too much for the console’s 32GB limit (given that 6GB is reserved for the Switch itself). Even those buying the physical release of the title should be made aware that there will be a 14GB day-one patch, which will obviously take up half of the console’s capacity in itself....

Wakfuhas some new content out, for those of you who play. Most notable in the Global Alliance update are the two new zones, the Lands of Kelba and Sadida Kingdom, which are available now for higher level players. The new islands will each have their own unique creature family, and special dungeons. There will, however, be a one time fee charged to get to the islands. New content is usually not a bad thing, and you don’t have to pay for it if you don’t want to go there, but these new zones aren’t free....

You’ll also see video of YouTubers OfflimitsPC, Morfar, and PewDiePie bawling their eyes and shouting out as something really bad happens in the game.

The above portion is provided to back up his focus on building strong characters — proving that the game was effective in eliciting an emotional response....
