On July 22 I was wondering when Nintendo would start to use finalized phrasing. It seems likeSplatoonis truly at an end soon, as they have announced that on July 22 (2AM PT to July 24 2AM PT), the game will have its “last ever” Splatfest event, fittingly titled “Callie vs. Marie.” The duo have been extremely popular worldwide this past year, garnering the love of fans and tons of art along with it....

15 more titles have the go-ahed to release on Steam Valve’s approach to approving games on Steam Greenlight in smaller, more agile waves seems to be working out nicely. The new batch has the usual stuff: zombie survival, open-world sandboxes, adventure and, of course, some horror for good measure. Here’s the list: Standouts for me areThe 7th Guest(this is an official re-release),Strike Vector,Viscera Cleanup Detail, and on more of a conceptual level,The NovelistandStranded Deep....

I’ve been aDragon Ballfan for more than 15 years so I’ve tried my fair share ofDBZgames. While the firstSparking!game (which was incorrectly titledBudokai Tenkaichiin Europe and in America) wasn’t a bad offering, I didn’t like it as much asBudokai 3. It had a few flaws (no in-game transformations, some characters were almost unbeatable…) that kept it from being a great game. With that said, it looks like the people at Spike listened to the fans’ complaints and managed to correct those mistakes....

Episodes one and two of ‘Wintermute’ debut August 1 Hinterland’s beautiful exploration-survival titleThe Long Darkis inching closer to its full “1.0 launch,” and that’s probably when I’ll swoop in (and promptly succumb to the harsh Canadian wilderness). PC and Xbox One players have had access to the free-form Sandbox/Survival mode for some time now, but with the upcoming 1.0 launch on August 05, 2025, the game’s long-awaited story content will debut — well, part of it....

The latest hotness? A new online battle event called “Armor Beginning.” Registration starts this Friday, and will involve online battles with creatures from theIsle of ArmorPokédex.

Best of 2012 This year, we saw a good mix of old and new among fighting games, from the humble beginnings ofSkullgirlsto the respectable continuation of genre giantTekken. With any award, it’s always interesting to see readers gravitate toward one choice in particular. While consensus was not necessarily achieved — is that even possible, given everyone’s individual preferences? — more than in some of our other categories, there was a good deal of agreement for best fighter of 2012....

From always.be.caking I’ve had some mighty cakes in my time. Pretty much everyone I knew growing up was aware of my passion for games, so people have me made everything fromStreet Fightercakes toZeldacupcakes over the years. It rocks! You know what also rocks? This Korok cake from the Instagram account “Always Be Caking,” a self-described self-taught baker. The account is full of great cakes and dessert concoctions, ranging from properties likeSkylanderstoTrollstoOverwatch....

Counter-Strike 2cheaters discovered a new exploit that allowed them to turn on wall hacks and see enemies through solid objects just by typing a command into the in-game console, but just 24 hours later, Valve has stamped it out. Cheating has been a major issue inCS2since its summer 2023 release, with hackers becoming more blatant. At this point, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been tracked through walls, or seen someone spin 180 degrees just to tap me in the head with a single bullet....

Let’s build a playlist Every so often while working, I’ll listen to some new pop song that isn’t very good but has managed toseemgood, over time, because I keep encountering it. After a couple days of this, tops, I’ll inevitably wear myself out and have to find a replacement. Something that’s catchy — but not too catchy — and doesn’t require much attention. Something I can loop indefinitely. That’s when I return to my old go-to: videogame music....
