Lightning Returns gets Cloud outfit, sword for pre-order

Shrewd, Square Enix. Shrewd. Oh man.Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the amusingly named third entry in theXIIsub-series, is coming with an interestingpre-order bonus: Cloud Strife’s SOLDIER outfit and indelible sword fromFinal Fantasy VII. Incidentally, Amazon is also offering a $10 credit with pre-order, which seems to be something the site has shied away from in recent years. I’m terribly ambivalent about this ultimately unimportant thing. It’s typical fan service, but colored with a tinge of desperation because of Square Enix’s recent struggled with theFinal Fantasybrand, including the seemingly directionless nature of itsFinal Fantasy XIIsub-series....

Man sells mother’s Wii for booze and cigarettes

Christmas is long gone, which means that the spirit of giving has been replaced by far more important spirits — namely the spirit of taking, the spirit of drinking and the spirit of being a stupid dick. A 23-year-old man from Spring Hill, Florida stole his mother’s Wii and sold it, all for the want of some booze and smokes. Delightful. Of course, Christopher Bayko wasn’t exactly a master criminal, and somehow expected to get away with stealing a game console from right under his mother’s nose....

MW3 players are sick of old guns getting nerfed into the ground every season

It started off as a meme, grew into a theory, and now is widely accepted by the community: When new guns are added intoModern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer makes them way too powerful and nerf older guns into the ground, and players are sick of it. Every season, Sledgehammer will introduce at least one new weapon to the game, giving completionists a weapon to rank up. This is a good idea in theory, but what you find is that any new gun added is immediately the best in the game, and dominates the meta for weeks, while older guns that have been in the game before have their effectiveness turned down....

Preview: Aban Hawkins & the 1001 Spikes

This is shaping up to be one of my favorites of 2014 Aban Hawkins & the 1000 Spikeswas a great concept. It launched way back in 2011 on the Xbox Live Indie store for a whole dollar, and remains one of the best games on the marketplace to this day. But the folks over at Nicalis knew that it was meant for something greater — enter1001 Spikes. This confusingly named follow-up is set to rock on the Wii U, 3DS, Vita, and PS4 sometime this year, and if what I’ve played of an updated version is any indication, it’s worth the wait....
