A while back, I wrote about two of my favorite subjects combined:videogames and cereal. Now I want to take you through another avenue of pop culture history that will help to complete the trifecta of the things that, for over 20 years, have made gamer children’s days brighter; heck, adults love ’em too! I’m talking about the marriage of television shows, namely cartoons, with videogames. There really is nothing better to go along with a big bowl of game themed cereal than a morning block filled with game themed programming....

It’s the most wonderful time of the year Can you feel it in the air? It’s electric. It’s like the buzz inside an arena seconds before your favorite band takes the stage. It makes my heart aflutter and almost brings a tear to my eye. That’s right, it’s just about time for overwhelming consumerism to kick in, as the masses flood the malls for Black Friday and the holidayshopping season. Every year, Black Friday ads leak early, and it looks like GameStop’s was one of the first this year....

Wascally Wabbit of Wor Epic Games Store is continuing its Holiday campaign of rolling out a free game for each and every day of the season — And today’s offering is an unsung doozy, as users can bag themselves a free copy of TiGames dystopian metroidvaniaF.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch. Released on PlayStation and PC in the fall of 2021, before being ported to the Switch earlier this year,F.I.S.T.is an anthropomorphic adventure set against the backdrop of a miserable and repressed cityscape, battered and bruised by the hand of an omnipresent corporation known as “Legion”....

And the game itself, believe it or not Following up on yesterday’sbig reveal ofHitman 2, Warner Bros. have released details of a Collector’s Edition for the stealthy sequel, developed once again by the tried-and-trusted folks at IO Interactive. Packaged in one of those foamy suitcases that my mate carries hisThird Strikeboard around in, the Collector’s Edition includes a copy of the game itself, theSniper Assassinmode, a bullet keyring, Agent 47’s “signature” coin (for all your guard-distracting needs) and, best of all, aHitmanrubber duck – rubber ducks being a trademark/running gag throughout franchise history....

At long last, you’re near the end of the Crimson Fleet questline inStarfield. It’s been a journey filled with deceit, danger, and nasty little aliens biting your ankles deep in a frozen prison. If all goes well, then maybe the struggle will be worth it. Plus you’ll get the chance to make a decision that’ll change history. Before celebrating, you need to complete the Eye of the Storm mission inStarfield. It’s going to be a doozy....

I wanna rock Longtime fans know the King’s Rock is a special item inPokemon. On its own, it grants the Pokemon holding it a chance to make the enemy flinch with each attack. This is handy enough, but the King’s Rock also allows Slowpoke to evolve into Slowking if it is traded while holding one. This is the only way to get Slowking in-game without hoping to encounter it in a 5 Star or 6 Star Tera Raid Battle, so sooner than later you’ll want one....

There are many things to do in Infinity Nikki, and as a dress-up game, much of i trevolves around fashion and stylistic choices. One feature that’s ever-changing and evolving is the Mira Crown Pinnacle styling contest. The contest regularly refreshes, constantly changing the outfits you need to don to get top marks in styling contests against a larger-than-life sentient mirror. It can all seem a little overwhelming at first, but here’s what you need to know....

Use it!’ Jackbox Games, purveyors of party-style multiplayer titles, has teamed up with popular charity retailer Humble Store to release a new bundle of games, perfect for whiling away the evening with chums, while watching that one passive-aggressive couple you know that always take everything too far, spoiling the evening for everybody. TheHumble Jackbox Party Bundleis filled with fun titles to play over your “We bought all this booze, you just brought a pipe of Pringles, but no, that’s fine, honestly” get-togethers....

I think Occams would agree I’ve made it no secret that while horror is my definite jam, I’m a gigantic wiener and don’t play nearly as many horror games as I should/would like to. A weak constitution mixed with anxiety prevents me from enjoying the genre like I would. Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t share cool stuff when I happen upon it. Lamentumis that very type of “cool stuff.”...

Hamster and Taito have announced that the next game for theArcade Archivesis 1992’sDinoRex. The title was initially part of theTaito Milestones 2collection, but on November 16, it will be available separately. As someone who appreciateskusoge, I loved theTaito Milestones 2collection because it contained a bunch of terrible games amongst its gems.DinoRexwas the one that captivated me the most because it is just so, so bad. It sort of feels like a bad attempt atPrimal Rage....

If there’s one thing I sense from Nintendo this generation, it’s that they love to sit back and preen themselves, pretending the Wii wasn’t an accidental success story, that they planned it all along, and now they’re better than everyone else in the world. Don’t get me wrong, Nintendo’s marketing since the Wii caught on has been amazing, but statements likeMiyamoto’s latestjust drip in self-satisfied smugness. “The more we competed with new companies entering the market, the more we started acting similar to them,” claims Miyamoto, probably wanking himself off and sighing with utter self-love as he spoke....
