Until it was cancelled in 2003, Fallout 3 was to be a turn-based RPG in the same vein of the original two games. Yes, that actually happened. Fallout didn’t become a blockbuster until…
It’s been a rough time for Payday 2. Adding microtransactions to a game that promised to never have them, combined with the developer’s inability to respond to any criticism, seemed like it might prove fatal. As an olive branch, the developers have issued a formal apology—a step in the right direction. Lemme catch you up.…
It’s been almost eight months since the release of Bloodborne, From Software’s excellent reinvention of the formula it developed with Demon’s Souls. That formula?

Clever girl. Hittin’ Switches (EF58-0000-00ED-419E ) is a pretty fun Mario Maker stage that asks you to perform some tricky maneuvers to keep moving.
Once more unto the breach, dear hunters. Bloodborne’s DLC expansion hits next week, and while I can’t talk about The Old Hunters yet, its impending arrival prompted a return to From Software’s bloody action game. Specifically, I dove into New Game Plus mode. You know what? This game’s still frickin’ amazing. New Game Plus brings…

You’re probably tired of hearing about problems with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC, and, believe me, I’m tired of writing about it! But there’s something weird going on with the game’s Steam page (again!), with reviews for the game getting flagged as “pre-release,” despite having been written this week Update: 1:30pm: Warner Bros. told us…
After nearly seven hours of ridiculous platforming, The Klepocalypse is finally over. As part of my ongoing Super Mario Maker rivalry with Giant Bomb editor Dan Ryckert, I played yet another stage designed to completely ruin me. That moment above came after a “breakthrough” that resulted in forward progress in the stage. The problem with…
