Here’s a reasonably good reason to pull an extra $20 out of your wallet — this morning, Capcom has announced theDevil May Cry 4 Collector’s Editionset. Retailing for $79.99, the set will be available for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. In a world where throwing a “making of” DVD into a tin is grounds for a price hike and a “special edition” tag, theDevil May Cry 4 Collector’s Editionis actually pretty impressive....

This is coming from a big supporter of Origins I wasn’t very happy withDragon Age II. WhereasOriginswas a glorious return to old-school RPG sensibilities,Dragon Age IIplayed like an action game that took place in the same universe. I liked the sequel for different reasons, but it felt like a wasted opportunity as it attempted to juggle some of the RPG elements fromOriginswhile having some faults of its own, like re-used environments and a lack of scale....
The Festival of Football Glow Up Evolution is an interesting, engaging option forEA FC 24players to try out, though keep in mind the path ahead will require some coins if you’ve got any to spare. While the evolution requires 100,000 coins to unlock, it offers immense upgrades and new playstyle. However, this evolution only allows you to use Silver cards (or Bronze, but not Gold), and and analyzing the requirements will help you make the most of it....
Consumer watchdog The Consumerist holds an annual tournament to determine the most despised American companies. Nominations are put to the vote, and the ultimate “winner” is crowned the worst company of the year. This year,Electronic Arts has won the honor! In a poll that took over 250,000 votes, EA beat out the Bank of America for its greed and treatment of consumers, with a comfortable 64.03% lead. “To those who might sneer at something as ‘non-essential’ as a videogame company winning the Worst Company In America vote: It’s that exact kind of attitude that allows people to ignore the complaints as companies like EA to nickel and dime consumers to death,” argues the site....
Fatality performed on kommunity rumors NetherRealm Studios’ creative director Ed Boon has shut down online rumors that the studio is preparing to reveal a brand new entry in theMortal Kombatseries at this weekend’s Evolution Championship Series (Evo) tournament. As is always the case withMK, the rumors of the reveal came about because someone decided that they existed. Social media quickly started turning up the volume on whispers that Warner Bros. Games and NRS were preparing to revealMortal Kombat 12during this week’s Evo festivities....

As spottedby ResetEra users, (and later reported by VGC), the trademarksEasy Come, Easy GolfandいつでもGOLF, (which roughly translates to “Golf Anytime“), were registered together, which suggests that they are localized names for the exact same project....
That mobile money Facebookhas announced a newmobile gaming publishing program. They’re looking for small and medium-sized developers in order to “take their mobile games global.” So far Facebook has ten developers on board, thoughTechCrunchis reporting that there are some big studios involved too, such as Gameloft with their game calledKingdom & Lords. It’s damn near hard cracking the top of the charts, especially when a lot of what you see out there dominating is based on luck, to a degree....
But Nintendo still dominates the premier league Well, for a while it was actually a bit different. The past month has seenMonster Hunter Rise,Spider-Man Miles Morales,Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and even Supergiant’s excellentHadesall hit the number one spot. But normal order has been restored, and Electronic Arts’FIFAhas returned to the top of the UK Charts. The soccer sim managed to successfully push past Square Enix’sOutridersto regain the physical sales throne, with the brand new RPG shooter debuting outside of the Top Five at number six....

It’s all but certain by now thatHelldivers 2might eventually play host to most, if not all of the originalHelldivers‘ content. The Illuminate faction, really, is the biggest cog that’s missing from the machine, but the stage for their return is already set according to the game’s API. Notably, while theAutomatons are now fielding immensely powerful mobile bot factoriesand theTerminid bugs have taken to the skies, we’ve heard virtually nothing about the Illuminates so far....

It’s demo day! As a white person, I’ve watched more than 10,000 hours of HGTV. Whether I’m screaming at some spoiled college student onHouse Hunters Internationalor rolling my eyes every time a designer recommends subway tile, the channel is my go-to whenever I want to shut my brain completely off and sink deep into my chair, sunken place-style, as I watchLakefront Bargain Hunt. These are shows where I foolishly believe I can design it better, and soon I’ll have the chance to prove just how incorrect that thought is whenHouse Flippercomes to consoles....
