FIFA 20 retains number one position A very quiet week for new releases led to a general stagnancy in the high street last week, as Electronic Arts’ football simFIFA 20retained the top spot of the UK Charts. The Top Ten generally consisted of high-selling titles jostling for position, with Activision’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare,EA’sStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,and Nintendo’s trifecta ofPokemon SwordandShield,Luigi’s Mansion 3,andMario Kart 8 Deluxeall bouncing around the upper echelon....

LAST STOP! When the Switch rolled around, Nintendo vowed to support the 3DS throughout 2018. That’s…about a year and some change left on the system, based on that statement alone — but speaking to IGN at E3, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime stated that they plan on helping it out beyond that. Seemingly meaning what he said that Nintendo sees the 3DS as an entry level device that will stick around in spite of the Switch (seemingly, because he’s said a lot of things in the past), he stated: “We’re going to continue to bring new content, and that’s what’s going to keep this device vibrant and keep it going well into 2018 and beyond....

And their thatched-roof cottages Venerable serfdom simulatorStronghold 2got quite the interesting release today in the form ofStronghold 2: Steam Edition. Previously only available on Steam as part ofThe Stronghold Collection, the title has received a big rework and an individual release. The most important addition to this version ofStronghold 2is the re-addition of multiplayer. The service was provided through Gamespy Arcade, but following its shutdown in 2014, those looking for a good siege were out of luck....

That is not enough screens, Netflix Netflix is in a bit of a tiff with the Academy Awards, which require that all movies up for nomination have at least a week-long theatrical run. The outcome of this is that Netflix is basically releasing their awards contenders in theaters at the bare minimum level, and for the most part I’m fine with that, but not in the case of Alfonso Cuarón’sRoma, a movie that by all reports —including our own— needs to be seen on the biggest of big screens with the best of sound systems possible....

The Big Boner is getting polished up Just before Devolver’sSummer Game Fest2023 stream, Grasshopper Manufacture has given a tease of a remastered version of its 2011cult classic,Shadows of the Damned. Uh… the teaser is bizarre, to say the least, but it eventually shows off the goods with a few quick scenes fromShadows of the Damned. It looks to be a remaster in the strictest sense, as those shots certainly smell of the Unreal 3 Engine....

THE INTERNET IS DOWN!!! WhileHitmanseason one may be a really solid entry in the series, the always online requirement has been terrible. Regardless of whether or not you own the content, you cannot access your equipment or make any level progression if you aren’t currently connected to the internet. It makes for a situation where your internet may go out and you’re left with wasted hard drive space. It also makes no sense in a realistic manner, seeing as how Agent 47 should be on top of where his gadgets are....

It’s a Kind of Magic During Thursday’sgamescom Opening Night Live presentation, developer Proletariat offered up an impressive trailer for its free-to-play magic melee titleSpellbreak,which launches September 3 on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The hybrid cinematic/gameplay trailer featured a cast of mysterious magic-weavers, battling it out with an array of mystic attacks, substituting the typical gun-and-grenade play of such battle arena titles with an altogether more ethereal arsenal of spells, hexes, and curses....

Square Enix just releasedDragon Quest Heroesin Japan a few weeks a ago and the publisher already has a follow-up in the works. Must be elated with the early sales figures.

There’san air of tentative excitementaround next month’s release ofSTALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The final batch of previews is now pouring in, and amidst it, some new information straight from the horse’s mouth. For example, we now know that the 2010 build was an entirely different beast. In more concrete terms, some of you may well remember thatHeart of Chornobylis the second time aSTALKER 2has been announced. Back in 2010, when the three classicSTALKERgames were still more-or-less the talk of the town, GSC Game World announced an honest-to-goodnessSTALKER 2with a targeted launch window of 2012....

It’s getting hot in here It’s impossible for me to think of the summer months without my mind wandering towards the cover ofThese Days are Just Packed. It’s my favorite of theCalvin and Hobbescollections, a series that holds the distinction of being one of the few things my brother and I willingly shared. We read through them dozens of times as kids. Anyone who’s familiar with Bill Watterson’s work onCalvin and Hobbesknows that almost every panel in the storied comic has a special kind of mid-summer magic to it....

There’s a headline I always hoped to write Not long ago,we reported on howa full-size, fire-breathing, talking Spyro the Dragon drone was been sent on a quest to reach legendary rapper Snoop Dogg and deliver him his copy of upcoming Sony release,Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. Well, I’m happy to report that Spyro braved the skies and made it, without being hit by lightning or shot down by paranoid alien hunters. The little dragon that could arrived at Snoop Dogg’s estate, where he was bestowed a gold chain and posed for a photo with the global superstar....

CIA assassin forced to use his skills for revenge, again Denzel Washington has basically always been better than everyone else in his movies. He’s smarter (Crimson Tide), faster (The Book of Eli), deadlier (Man on Fire), handsomer (all of them), and wittier (Training Day). Even when he’s not getting the best of someone (Inside Man) he’s still getting the better of someone else. It’s therefore no surprise that Denzel has a franchise likeThe Equalizerto his name....
