Don’t look back Bloodborneisn’t coming out until March. That means I have a solid few months to mentally prepare myself for these horrific things, described by Sony Japan Studio producer Masaaki Yamagiwa as “deformed gravekeeper hags.” I don’t like the look ofthis eyeball-covered witch, either. The PlayStation Blog has other details to share, including a fellow hunter, a frozen castle, a cane that transforms into a whip (badass!), and a hint at what lurks below the city of Yharnam: “multi-leveled ruins … crafted by something other than human hands....

Bandai Namco is hosting four PC-only sessions starting December 3, and sign-ups are open The curious one-versus-seven survival gameDragon Ball: The Breakersis hosting a PC beta test onSteam, so if you like the promise of an asymmetric game that lets you terrorize other players as Frieza, Buu, or Cell, then you should put your name in the hat. Much like the recentElden Ringtest, Bandai Namco isnow taking email sign-upson theDragon Ball: The Breakerswebsite....

I’m not exactly well-versed in theSniper Elitegames, but I am familiar with theNazi Zombie Armyspin-off. Taking a lot of cues from Valve’sLeft 4 Dead, this diversion from sniping living Nazi soldiers added a more focused campaign to the proceedings while allowing players to team up and shoot some undead. They were fine enough, but never really showstoppers in their own right. The two available titles received a dramatic overhaul inZombie Army Trilogy, which capped off the series nearly four years ago....

Yeah, I don’t know either. It would seemSpace Giraffemastermind Jeff Minter was unsatisfied with the reception hisTempestripoff with llama soundsother XBLA title received, so he’s put on his tie-dyed apron and popped another suckcake into the oven for us. It’s calledGridrunner +++, and it’s headed for Xbox Live Arcade at some point. There’s no word on a release date yet, but I’d venture to guess it will fall somewhere between “Too Soon’s eve” and “Oh God, why?...

A brand new trailer forKillzone 3has arrived, and while it’s pretty short, it does the trick. Not that I needed much more hyping. This new trailer shows off at least one potential new location, with freaky foliage that hints at a possible Helghan jungle. Add that to the new snow levels and it seems we’ll have something a little more colorful thanKillzone 2. Killzoneis to me whatHalois to pink-shirted date rapists....

Nintendo and Square’s flagship franchises top charts, but not predecessors Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIIIandSuper Mario 3D Worldlaunched to lackluster sales in Japan last week. Though the pair placed first and second atop the nation’s software charts, the latest entries in Square Enix and Nintendo’s flagship franchises saw significantly weaker debuts than their predecessors. Lightning Returnsopened with 277,082 sales, the lowest of anyFinal Fantasy XIIIgame. As noted byGematsu, the originalFinal Fantasy XIIIsold 1....

According toXbox-Scene News, it would seem thatMicrosoftis taking steps to lessen the chance that your recently repaired Xbox 360 will be making a return visit to the doctor. Thanks to some hulking heatsinks that are being added to help alleviate heat stress on the Xenos GPUs, our Xbox 360s should be more healthy in the future. While it is unclear if the new Xbox units are coming out of the factory with the dual-heatsinks under the hood, it is obvious thatat least somerepaired consoles have been modified....

Quick impressions of the mobile port Today is the day that Renegade Kid’sMutant Muddsslip-slides onto Apple devices. If you’d like to double dip (ortriple dip), it’s a paltry $0.99 on theApp Store. I’ve messed around with this latest build to see how it stacks up against the original and PC versions. Long story short, it’s the sameMutant Muddswe’ve played before — as I previously said, it has all the levels released thus far....

Featuring Little Mac, Rosalina and Luma, and Wii Fit Trainer you may tell the release ofSuper Smash Bros.is coming soon, because Nintendo’s screenshot dumps seem to be getting more and more frequent. Still, they are welcome for those of us who like to pore over the photos to try to glean any bits of information we can. In this batch, we see more of the Smash Run mode for the 3DS version, as well as a focus on the Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina and Luma, and Little Mac....

Weaponized horses Hyrule Warriorswill have no shortage of DLC,that’s for sure. The first major add-on,Master Quest Pack, hits on October 16 and includes a new weapon, scenario, Adventure mode map, and costumes. Funny thing about that “weapon,” though — it’s Link’s trusted steed, Epona! Writing on Miivese,Legend of ZeldadirectorEiji Aonuma offered his impressions of the DLC: “By riding Epona, I was able to blow heards of enemies away and gallop swiftly through the fields, and I had a lot of fun trying out this re-imagined version of her inHyrule Warriors....

And mostlyMetroid Dread This week,Metroid Dreadisthe big eventand it’s not even close. I mean there’s some cool stuff in here this week, likeDisco Elysium – The FinalCut,Tetris Effect: Connected, andGang Beasts(which was just delayed to Oct. 12), but for Nintendo fans, all of those don’t measure up to getting abrand newMetroidsaga gamefor the first time in a long while. The kicker? It’s good! Being able to suit up and play a new 2DMetroidagain (that wasn’t a remake) was incredible, and I hope people are able to sit back and relax this weekend and do the same....

There’s news spreading like wildfire at the moment about something theFinal Fantasy XIVdirector said during a recent interview with Famitsu, but there’s one small detail that’s being left out which I think needs to be clarified. The news that seems hard to escape at the moment is that Yoshida wants to increase the difficulty ofFinal Fantasy XIVmoving forward, particularly with the release ofDawntrail. According to some trustworthy translations on the officialFFXIV Discord server, this isn’t true....
