Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Is More Rewarding With The Hints Turned Off

Modern action-adventure games are pretty easy for me. They’re too easy, you might say, if you’d like there to be some mystery about where your cliff-climbing character should jump or which levers they should pull while trying to operate ancient machinery. Hints tend to come fast, as your hero will start muttering about solutions if…

New Splatoon Figures Are Like Amiibo, Only Much Better

Here’s how you make outstanding action figures: Take a pair of already beloved Amiibo statues, give them a ridiculous amount of articulation and load them up with accessories.

Gone Home’s Switch Version Has Official SNES Cartridges

Other, earlier versions of Gone Home weren’t so lucky, but the new Switch edition of the domecile exploration title has some extra 90s flavour with the addition of official SNES carts. They’re not playable, of course, because this isn’t Animal Crossing circa 2002, but still. Cute touch!   Nintendo, I’m going to ask again: put…

In The Cage And Out, Tyron Woodley Refuses To Play The UFC’s Game

It took me a long time to come around to UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. And by that, I mean I was resolutely Not A Fan until about, uh, three weeks ago. Like many UFC fans, I’ve always found Woodley—who defended his belt over the weekend by clobbering English up-and-comer Darren Till and then pretzeling…

In the PS4’s very good new Spider-Man game, Peter Parker spends a lot of time web-swinging through Manhattan in pursuit of truth, justice, and collectables. As he flings himself about, he frequently gets calls from friends on his radio, and he responds differently depending on whether or not he’s exerting himself. I bought Spider-Man when…

Destiny 2’s Ace Of Spades Quest Is A Pain, But Totally Worth It [Updated]

If you notice an unusual number of players using hand cannons in Destiny 2 this week, it’s because they’re probably trying to unlock an exotic weapon called Ace of Spades. It’s a long, occasionally annoying quest, but I am happy to report that it is also super worth doing. Spoilers for the Ace of Spades…

Some Switch Games Won’t Support Cloud Saving To Prevent Cheating, Nintendo Says

Last Friday, posters on the gaming forum ResetEra discovered that the Nintendo website information page for Splatoon 2 had been updated with a note saying the game does not support cloud save backups, one of the big new features being added to the Switch when its paid online service launches later this month.
