While some people are already opening up their brand new Xbox Series X consoles, for others—specifically those who ordered through Amazon—there might be a bit of a wait. As many on Twitter are now sharing, Amazon has today sent out emails to some customers telling them: Hello, We’re contacting you with an update regarding your…
When the Xbox One X and One S launched in 2017, it didn’t take folks long to notice that inside the consoles, stamped on the hardware itself, were tiny little homages to the Halo series. In 2020, with the launch of the Xbox Series S, that’s now a tradition. Having got their hands on a…

A Kickstarter campaign for a board game called Harry Potter: Catch the Snitch has been cancelled, with the publishers blaming the “current situation of uncertainty in the world derived from the electoral campaign in the United States.” The game, a recreation of Potter’s Quidditch only with loads of plastic miniatures, was looking for $450,000 to…
LEGO IDEAS, the ALL CAPS website where fan designs, including licensed ones, can get voted on and turned into official LEGO sets, currently has a very nice Among Us playset up for discussion. Made by MinifigInDisguise, it includes The Skeld along with a number of special Among Us minifigs, a ghost and two pets. At…
Ah, this is the kind of delay I like to see. None of this “month or two” shit like Cyberpunk is pulling. If you’re going to delay a game, do it like Kerbal Space Program 2 and make it substantial Originally due in “Fall 2021″, the game is now simply due sometime in 2022, after…
On November 2, Capcom’s servers were brought down by “unauthorized access carried out by a third party”. As Bleeping Computer report, the group claiming responsibility for the attack say they downloaded around 1TB of data, containing everything from employee’s visa records to customer bank details to “proprietary Business information”. Capcom, in their own statement, say,…

If Blinkclick Games wanted to make the most relaxing management game possible, they’ve certainly picked the right subject matter with their upcoming Fishkeeper It’s a management game in the vein of stuff like Planet Zoo, only on a much smaller scale, since you’re being tasked here with simply…filling a fish tank. Now we’ve all enjoyed…
Here’s something I like very much: interviews with console executives about upcoming next-gen machines that get very into hard numbers, internal procedures and an explanation of just how much work went into making sure the Xbox Series X/s backward compatibility was up to scratch. Like this one that Inverse didwith Xbox Director of Program Management Jason…
UPDATE: IT’S DONE Original post: Wondering where our Yakuza: Like a Dragon review is? It’s in progress! This is a huge game, like any Yakuza title, and to rush it to meet an embargo date (which just ticked over), skipping over its bounty of sidequests and secrets, isn’t fair on any of us. So stay…
Yuzu, a popular Switch emulator, earlier this week decided to add limited online multiplayer support for its games. A decision it swiftly reversed.
Hi, yes, the 2013 version of Old School Runescape (which is actually from 2007), which you may not have played or even thought about for a decade, is now as popular as ever thanks to some recent changes made by the development team. It was announced yesterday that 157,445 people were playing the game at…
Look, I deeply admire the craft and ingenuity that goes into serious, elaborate cosplay, but I have a very special place in my heart for stuff like this. This isLadee Danger—who you might recognise as Ciri in the banner post for this sub—absolutely nailing Halloween as both The Nanny and Peggy from Married with Children…
Wait, no, it’s just to take a look at how the new DualSense controller works, and how it all came together. Sorry, these teardown videos always get me feeling a little carnivorous. This great video by TronicsFix opens up the pad, very gently, and pokes around at all the components and pieces, partly so we…
“Let’s make it satanic.” Here’s composer Alex Moukala taking some vintage Super Mario music and turning it into the kind of bone-chilling score you’d hear in Bloodborne If you dug this—and how could you not have—he’s done some similar stuff recently, like giving Final Fantasy VII some Sonic beats: And this Persona 5 banger: He’s…
Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of Jet Set Radio’s release on the Sega Dreamcast in the United States. This may interest you, make you feel incredibly old or, in some cases, both. While it was released in Japan in June 2000, the Dreamcast skating/graffiti classic wasn’t out in the US until October 31. There had…

If you’re a fan of Capcom, Clover, horror, or just good video games in general, please set aside part of your week to enjoy this hour-long documentary by Archipel on Shinji Mikami, the legendary director of everything from Resident Evil to God Hand to Vanquish
A lot is made, and rightly so, of the plight of retro video games once they succumb to the passage of time. But while we focus on preserving the games themselves, what happens to the instruction manuals that used to come with them? In some cases, they’re lost forever! Other times, we’re lucky to have…
