THE BEER REVIEWS CONTINUE. I’d always heard Hoegaarden was a pretty nice light summer beer, and I thought “What better way to celebrate the fourth than to drink an import”? I was very impressed with the whole thing. Most wheat beers are pretty light on flavor, but Hoegaarden, carrying on with the Belgian beer tradition, brings it in it a very delicious way. There’s a depth there that is really disarming given the fact that it is such a light ale....
Until January 9 Happy New Year! You want free stuff?YOU GOT IT! As Brett pointed out, the Epic Games Store isn’t ending its holiday festivities with the “12 free Days of Games” promotion. There’s more! And it turns out that “more” actually includes three more big titles, with an extended amount of time to actually redeem them: no more FOMO if you’re out vacationing in the wilderness with no service....
Put some happy little trees on the opposition’s face We have another weapon announced for the weekend warriors of Nintendo’s colourful shooterSplatoon 2.

The Inkbrush Nouveau is the same statistically as the standard Inkbrush, but comes equipped with the Ink Mine sub and Baller special. As always, the item goes live in the game tonight around 18:00 PT in North America, with Europe following in the small hours of tomorrow morning....
Alright, it’s Friday and time to start off the weekend! Why is it that I again find myself obsessed with some small pocket of the interweb? Instead of looking at news and the usual celebrity gossip, I find myself looking over variousKickstarterprojects and dreaming of being someone who actually comes up with cool ideas. It’s like browsing though people’s dreams and hopes. Around the network we were at the other end of things, looking at at tons of great things to blow our paychecks on!...
The faux PS1 case might be my favorite part This gets my vote for today’s coolest thing (that isn’t new but is new to me). 98DEMAKE is a YouTube creator who takes modern video games and imagines what they might’ve looked like had they originally released in 1998. I’ve seen plenty ofscreenshot and gif mockups for demakes, and those are all well and good, but this recent effort forBioShockis seriously impressive....

Assuming you did the required missions, the server doesn’t time out, and you’re willing to cover a shipping fee I can’t convince my brain that I don’t need those limited-edition Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary pins, and so here I am, fighting to get my order accepted now that I’ve gone through theMy Nintendo stepsneeded to claim these things. Are there enough to go around? We’ll find out soon enough....
One of the many features that makes BioWare games so engaging is the consistently solid vocal talent. Raphael Sbarge has played Carth Onasi inKnights of the Old Republicand Kaidan Alenko from theMass Effectseries. I caught up with Sbarge and nabbed a few questions. I tried to dig up some info onMass Effect 3, but those queries were not answered. Sbarge does have a new TV series calledOnce Upon a Timethat premiered last Sunday....
Tony Hawk 3 + 4? Activision has been killing it in terms of remasters lately. I mean, to be more concise, studios like Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions have been killing it, with re-releases like theCrashtrilogy andTony Hawk 1 + 2(both done by the latter). But with Vicarious Visions down for the count and absorbed into Blizzard, what will become of the fate of more remasters?According to a recent Activision earnings call, things still look promising....

Freshen yer drink guv’nor? Well, would you Adam and Eve it? Sony’s VR “action movie”Blood & Truthhas debuted at number one of the UK Charts, usurping Sega’sTeam Sonic Racingand becoming the first VR game ever to hit the top spot. To be fair we’re in a fairly quiet period for big releases, but still, congrats to the cock-a-nee shooter no-one saw coming. This week also saw several big releases drop out of the Top Ten, including Bethesda’s apocalyptic shooterRage 2and Ubisoft’s tactical mercenary titleTom Clancy’s The Division 2....
Heh. He spelled it “meat.” The sixth playable character forBorderlands 2, Krieg the Psycho Bandit, will be available for loot hunting on May 14, Krieg himselfannounced on Twitter. Unveiled at developer Gearbox Software’s PAX East panel back in March, Krieg features a high risk, high reward play style and also doesn’t regenerate health; instead, you’ll have to kill more enemies to survive. He can also be damaged by his teammates, but in turn will increase in power....
