‘Shop Contest: Katamari Rolls Everywhere, Winners!

Katamari Damacy Rerolled is out on Switch now, and it’s had me thinking about where that big, weird ball is gonna roll next. I asked you all to show me what’s getting rolled up next. There’s nothing better than a big ole ball of trash running around the video game universe. Despite the fact that…

The Week In Games: Kingdom Force

We’re spinning into the end of the year, but there’s still Earth Defense Force, Kingdom Two Crowns, and a Night Trap port coming down the pipe. We’re in the winter months now.

The Messenger is getting a DLC called “Picnic Panic” in 2019. It looks cool. 

Dark Souls II Mod Mixes Up The Game

The Second Sin mod has recently released its 1.1.9.3 version. It’s a mod that reconfigures some of the encounters of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. I’m personally a big fan of Dark Souls II, despite its reputation as being a kind of outlier in the series, and I’m generally interested in a…

Player Finds A Creative Way To Take Down A Rocket In Battlefield V

The V-1 rocket is the scourge of Battlefield V. It scurries in from off the map and smashes enemies, and it’s hard to avoid once it is coming for you. Reddit user osamadeep has figured out a tactic to keep that from happening. You can run a plane into the rocket. That’s it. It’s not…

Square-Enix has released the “Opening Movie Trailer”for Kingdom Hearts III I guess that this is the thing that plays if you let the main menu idle too long? I’m going to be honest, this trailer is really good. And that song!

‘Shop Contest: Katamari Rolls Everywhere

Katamari Damacy Rerolled is out in the world, gracing your Switches, and we need to figure out where that damn ball is going to go next. I’m a big fan of the Prince and his little ball. It collects all the things. You direct that little fella around and his ball just gets bigger and…

Judgement is coming to the West in Summer 2019. Previously known as “Project Judge,” the game follows an ex-lawyer who is looking for justice in the streets. The trailer is pretty neat.

Video Game Music Performed With Steel Drums Has Changed My Life

I’m not the kind of person who enjoys covers of video game songs. The Sonic The Hedgehog theme is just fine the way it is, thank you. But now I have encountered Steeldrumband’s reconfigurations of classic video game music on YouTube, and I might have to change my whole position. According to their website, Steeldrumbands…

‘Shop Contest: Agent 47’s Vacation, Winners!

Last week, I asked you all to give Agent 47 of the Hitman franchise a well-deserved break. He’s been doing game stuff for so long, and I think he needs some R&R. You didn’t disappoint me. Dancing. Singing. Fishing. Relaxing by the beach. These are things that I am sure Agent 47 would do if…

The Week In Games: Just Throne Breakin’

As we approach the end of the year, the game releases get even more extreme. We’ve got Just Cause 4, the PlayStation Classic, Mutant Year Zero, and lots of other interesting stuff. I’m very interested in what it is going to be like to drive a car through the tornado. What can I say? I…

Removing The Film From A 30-Year-Old Console Is Satisfying And Horrible

The Sega Master System was available in the United States in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and this particular console has existed since then with its anti-dust film intact. Until now. Reddit user the_starship posted a video in the Game Collecting subreddit showing the plastic removal, and it makes me feel Some Feelings. On…

Caesar III‘s Best Mechanic Is Pissing Off Your Boss

I’ve been playing Impressions Games’ 1998 classic Caesar III this week. While I love it for a lot of reasons (some of which are nostalgia related), what has really got me excited is how much you can piss off your boss. Caesar III is a game that puts you in the shoes of a city…

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is another entry in the giant robot combat series, and it looks pretty cool. A new trailer premiered at MechCon this weekend, and you can watch it here. PC Gamer reports that the game will release on September 19, 2019.

Receiver Speedrun Is A Masterclass In Efficiency

In a world of simple video game guns, Receiver is a game that makes guns complex. Originally released in 2013, it’s still a unique experience, and speedrunner meanwhile_0 has trivialized it by beating it in 10:06. What I find so impressive about the speedrun is that it really does make the game look incredibly easy.…
