WithLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, theLegoseries got a bit of a tune-up. It’s apparently abit more action-oriented, and yes, even allows forsome sick air juggling. If you’re looking for something a little more adult-oriented, the raucousHigh On Lifearrives on Game Pass this month too....

The date is moving to alleviate some pressure on the team The next entry in theLife is Strangeseries is set to arrive next month, and today the development team reaffirmed that’s the case.

It’s been updated with new writing While combing through the wasteland that is my pre-holiday-break email, I happened upon a link to Infinite Fall and Finji’sLongest Nightfrom our beloved gift-giver Jonathan Holmes. I’m glad I did! This is a short lead-in for the upcoming PC/Mac/PS4 adventureNight in the Woods, which you might recall as being “about the inevitability of death… and pizza parties.” There aren’t any deep dishes here, but you will get to trace the constellations and learn about a fire-breathing pope....

My love for Don’t Nod games began just like most other’s probably did: when the glorious phenomenon known asLife Is Strangecame in to tug at all our heartstrings. Since then, there’s always been some chatter about the franchise’s spiritual successor, carrying on Don’t Nod’s monumental storytelling while also blending in something entirely new. And, after spending a few hours with its upcoming title,Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, it looks like we’re finally getting that successor, if not even more....

Anew trailer forMetal Gear Solid Deltadropped at theXbox Games Showcase over the weekend, and, while it did show off more gameplay and treated us to the sound of Naked Snake’s original voice actor David Hayter, it sadly lacked an exact release date. The following day, though, retailer GameStop advertised the game as launching in November, but it has since admitted this isn’t the case at all. In a now deleted Twitter post from June 10 (which was saved for posterity byIGN), GameStop announced pre-orders were available forMetal Gear Solid Delta, with it scheduled to release on November 17....

And it’s not afraid to lend those characters out to any number of crazy crossovers, or even makeentire crossover games. Capcom arguably has one of the most respectable rosters in all of the industry, which is why they capitalize so much on it in the form of merch....

‘Destroy All of Crazy Robots!’ After asolid week of slugging, this week’s Arcade Archives release sees Hamster return to the well of golden age shmups, with the return’s of UPL’s 1980s space-shooterNova 2001, now available to download on Nintendo Switch.

Wells novel —Nova 2001puts players in the pilot seat of a small state-of-the-art spacecraft, battling it out against large waves of enemy invaders....

Today, Flying Lab Software has unveiled a brand new website for their MMOPirates of the Burning Sea. The new space will be a conduit of community activity, as well as a beacon for news and developments in regards to the MMO. In other words, it’s like Facebook without drunken pictures of you, friends, or other various embarrassments for prospective employers to find out about. I had the opportunity to ask Flying Lab Software to compare their new website to something that I think is relevant to all of our interests – kittens....

As we near the end of 2023, many apps that we spend dozens, hundreds, and upwards of thousands of hours on give us our stats in a shareable graphic to share on social media.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the next generic FPS that you’ll probably forget about a week after having bought it, has finally gone gold,according to Shacknews. This is only monumental due to the fact that the game has been in development for more than half a decade, and that back in the early years of the new century,someone,anyone, might have cared about this title. Of course, back then we were all pounding rocks together to make fire and hunting pterodactyls for our porn....
