This is still on my most-anticipated list In case you missed it, developer Iggymob gave us a detailed look at the newGungravegame (that’s still scheduled to be released on PS4 by the end of this year in Japan). Yes, I said “newGungravegame.” Despite the misstep with the VR game,Gungrave G.O.R.Eis decidedly not a VR title, nor is it a retread. Instead, it’s the first mainline release in the series in many years; following the 2002 release of the PS2 original, the 2003 anime, and the 2004Overdosesequel....

Hino’s tweet says that he has his work cut out for him given that he’s juggling moreYo-Kaifilms and games, but this one will feature “a different type of system” compared to the mainline games....

On November 21, the Xbox LIVE Arcade version ofSuper Meat Boywill jump up five dollars in price to $15.

I love it when stellar, deserving games sell well. I’m always shocked at how humble Team Meat is overSuper Meat Boy....

Including a new character A GameStopproduct pagefor theWatch DogsSeason Pass describes what the $19.99 purchase will cover, at least in general terms: “a unique single-player campaign featuring a new playable character plus more missions, weapons, and exclusive content.” That’s said to be a 25 percent savings compared to buying the DLC individually.

Semi-automatic weapons often get overlooked by their fully automatic counterparts, yet the M16A4 deserves plenty of attention. The M16A4 requires an abundance of skill and patience to perfect. Instead of firing and forgetting like other assault rifles, the M16A4’s three-round-burst firing type eliminates any margin for error and forces players to be accurate with their shots. When perfected, it will become second nature to take down enemies in two bursts, but in the beginning, there will be plenty of instances where you get punished for missing a shot by fully automatic weapons....
