Never Stop Sneakin’ Is A Stealth Game For People Who Hate Stealth

Never Stop Sneakin’, the new game from the creator of Dust: An Elysian Tail, opens with a time-travelling madman kidnapping every president of the United States throughout history. It’s ridiculous. It’s also an excellent little top-down stealth game, and I don’t even like stealth games. Original published 12/8/17—Re-upped for release day. Normally I’m far too…

Hyper Light Drifter Keycap Set Shouldn’t Be Too Hard To Type On

Players who figured out the blocky glyph language of Hyper Light Drifter should have no problem typing on this officially-licensed set of keycaps. Don’t worry, they come with actual letters as well.

Mods Turn Zelda’s Dirt Bike Into Sonic, GTA

Remember: people playing Breath of the Wild on Wii U and PC (via emulation) can play the game with mods. Like ones that modify the game’s new dirtbike.

Battlefield 1’s New DLC Blends Conquest and Assault, And It’s Great

With all of the games that 2017 has offered up so far, 2016’s Battlefield 1 continues to give me new stuff to play. The third DLC pack, titled “Turning Tides,” is being split into two releases. The second half is slated for a January 2018 release window, but the first half came out this week…

When A Classroom Learns About Pokémon

My daughter is seven, and a few weeks ago her class spent the week choosing a subject to “investigate” (basically write reports on). The teacher might have been hoping they chose something like “nature”, or “factories”, or “history”, but the room of seven-year-old kids did the seven-year-old thing and chose “Pokémon”. Each kid was tasked…

New Clam Blitz Mode Highlights The Best and Worst of Splatoon 2

While Clam Blitz is very fun, it’s hampered by Splatoon 2‘s glaring flaws. Clam Blitz, which was added to Splatoon 2 today, isn’t complicated to play, but is confusing to explain. In this game mode, you have to pick up golden clams that are scattered across the map and put them in the enemy’s basket.…

Battlefront II DLC Tries To Close Story Cliffhanger, Disappoints 

Star Wars Battlefront II’s latest DLC features an expanded story and new worlds from The Last Jedi. It does its best to reinvigorate the game, but it ultimately falls short. Spoilers Ahead Battlefront II’s latest collection of DLC continues the story of stormtrooper Iden Versio in an additional campaign called Resurrection. At the end of Battlefront…

The Division’s latest global event changes the rules yet again for Ubisoft’s shooter. In Strike, which runs for five more days, a downed enemy drops an exploding grenade that hurts nearby enemies. A more advanced Strike setting applies similar detonation chain reactions to players who take lots of damage. A fun tweak!

Top Symmetra Player’s Overwatch Bans Won’t Stop Him From Picking His Favorite Hero

“Report him,” an Overwatch playersaid over team chat last week, referencing a Twitch streamer who goes by Stevooo. It was right after Stevooo hastily locked down the hero Symmetra.

Switch Accessory Turns Your Joy-Cons Into A Very Good Dog

When the Nintendo Switch was revealed last year, one of the most significant observations was how much the Charging Grip with a pair of Joy-Cons attached looked like a robot dog. Hyperkin’s Pupper Switch controller attachment follows that line of thinking to its adorable conclusion. Pupper is a charging controller grip, so players can slide…

Battlegrounds, Please Fix This Awful Bra

Battlegrounds recently changed their female underwear texture to remove visible labia, and that’s great. I still have one gripe though. The bra texture in Battlegrounds is just egregiously, obviously bad. If you play Battlegrounds, you will see the underwear textures at least once. You start off in your underwear by default, but most players equip…

Top World Of Warcraft Guild Beats Legion Expansion’s Final Boss After 320 Tries

World of Warcraft: Legion’s final boss, the mythic difficulty version of Argus The Unmaker, took players by surprise when he (un) made his first appearance in the game last week. Top guilds expected a cakewalk. Instead, they got thrashings. Hundreds of them. Finally, though, Argus has fallen. Method, a guild recognized by many as the…

Mario And Bowser Get Along Much Better As Build-A-Bears

Look at those smiling faces. They’ve had their difference in the past, but now they’ve bonded over the shared trauma of being stuffed and sold to children at the mall. Bowser and Mario join Yoshi, Toad, Luigi and Peach in Build-A-Bear’s new Super Mario collection this weekend. If you’d rather order online, you can get…
