The latest commercial forNinja Gaiden Sigma 2is simultaneously the best and worst thing to have ever been created. I think it needs to win some sort of award.

Early development underway with Unreal Engine 5 Not to be confusedwith a certain high-profileSuper Smash Bros. Brawlmod, Project M from NCSOFT is an upcoming Unreal Engine 5-developed, console-bound “interactive movie experience” with an eye-catching trailer. I can’t say I’m exactly picturing a full-fledged game yet from this limited proof-of-concept, but the premise of a “man seeking vengeance” — combined with these high production values — speaks to me.

In the lower bracket finals,Cloud9player Squishy hit this absolutely nutty shot. The reason this looks so insane is because his flip comes at the very end of the play.

If videogame music isn’t ‘music,’ then what is it? Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka said something that may not go over well with game music fans: I don’t consider video game music, includingSilent Hillmusic, as ‘music.’ I consider it more as ‘sound’ that complements the images, game, and story to create an entertaining experience.
