Absolutely It’s hard to believe that theDarksidersseries is nearly 10 years old. Literally just another month or so to go and we’ll have reached the 10th anniversary of the original game: the original that challenged our notions of classics likeSoul Reaverand 3DZeldas. It’s endured at least one corporate takeover and one development studio change, and so far we’ve seen the series through the eyes of three of the Horsemen: War, Death and Fury respectively....

For theÜber Updatefestivities, Valve set upTeam Fortress 2with week-long free status. I thought this was a smart idea, but not entirely unexpected, since Valve has a history of pulling such stunts. Making the full game free, forever? Yeah, that’s a bit more ballsy — and it’s apparently what the company is doing. In an interview with Develop, Valve’s Robin Walker outed the big plan. “We’ve been toying with the idea of makingTeam Fortressfree-to-play ever since the Mann-conomy update,” Walker reveals....

This is especially interesting because, back in March 2024,Monolith Soft released a company brochurethat revealed that its founders, Tetsuya Takahashi, Yasuyuki Honne and Hirohide Sugiura, shared 4% of its ownership....
Teardown “Joy-Con drift.” Man what a loaded discussion! It’s been an issue since the Nintendo Switch launched, and Nintendo’s answer has mostly been to quietly greenlight controller repairs: with a warning that you might not get your original Joy-Con back. That…could be a problem for elusive collector’s items likethe newZelda: Skyward Sword HDJoy-Con, but there seems to be some sort of fix involved with those remotes. Kinda. As the Spawn Wave Twitter account points out, Nintendo has put foam inside of the Joy-Con “behind the Joystick module....
Yeesh [Update:Fangamer has reached out to note that the addresses being collected are to account for moves given the lengthy period of time since they were last acquired.] For over a year, a couple of corporations have been playing the blame game. Mighty No. 9, the much-hyped Kickstarter that took the world by storm, fizzled at release. It was an alright game, but not a true successor or replacement forMega Manor worthy of a live action movie, anime series, and droves of merch....

This trailer certainly takes a turn The theme for the entirety ofRage 2‘s launch trailer is turning back the clock, mostly in a “Wait, how did we get here?!” kind of way. It’s very 80s schlock which is good but expected. ThenRage 2turns the clock back even farther — to 2011 and the originalRage. “Lame Ending! That’s all I get? A cutscene of some ground shaking?” writes a dissatisfied player. Then the clock keeps rewinding....
