  1. There are tons of mods for ****** Myth: Wukong, from ones that make the action game’s parry window a little more forgiving to others that turn the main character into Goku. But I was not prepared for just how absurd and unhinged the hit 2024 game looks as a Wolfenstein-style first-person shooter. Read more... View the full article
  2. If you were a creature of the ‘80s and ‘90s, you may remember pining for the colorful plastic Boo Buckets McDonald’s gave out every Halloween with its Happy Meals. You could trick-or-treat with them, use them to give out candy, or just chuck them in the closet with the rest of junk in your room, only to be discovered… Read more... View the full article
  3. The Suikoden series of role-playing games may be defunct, but for its devoted fans, it ******** a cherished example of the genre at its best. People love these games! Which they are absolutely correct to do. Suikoden games—especially the first two in the series—feature fantastic stories of political intrigue filled… Read more... View the full article
  4. TwitchCon 2024 was a total whirlwind. During the three-day-long convention for the streaming platform, I saw drag performances, fake debates, wild cosplays, and a Chevron installation. I brushed elbows with big Twitch streamers like Hasan ******, Caroline Kwan, JuiceBoxx, Deere, and more—all while incredibly jet-lagged. Read more... View the full article
  5. Due to the destruction and power outages caused by Hurricane Helene hitting the ******* States, Square Enix has temporarily paused a feature in its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 that demolished player homes if they didn’t log in frequently enough. Read more... View the full article
  6. The new Sonic Lego sets were one of the many announcements made during this year’s Sonic Central stream. ***** showed off a lot in that presentation, so these sets went under the radar compared to things like the DC Comics collaboration and new looks at games like Sonic X Shadow Generations. But did y’all see these new… Read more... View the full article
  7. October hits different. The spooky month is often bursting with new games to play ahead of the end of the year, and 2024's buffet of releases is keeping the tradition alive. From PC to Nintendo Switch, from Super Mario Party Jamboree to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, here are 34 games you should have on your radar this… Read more... View the full article
  8. 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street introduced the world to a new slasher icon: Freddy Krueger. The burned-up child ********* with a razor glove who hunts kids in their sleep to ***** them was played by Robert Englund in eight films and a TV series. And while many might wish he would return to the role following 2010's… Read more... View the full article
  9. Every October, without fail, I recommit to watching and playing as many horror movies and games as I can possibly fit. For one reason or another, however, I always drop off about halfway through the month with just a handful of accomplishments to actually show for my effort, and I’m sure this year will be no… Read more...

  10. Saturday Night Live apparently has a new ****** and it’s everyone’s favorite seasonal Halloween pop-up shop empire Spirit Halloween. After a recent skit joked about the company’s low-quality items and six-week stores, Spirit fired back online and called SNL an “irrelevant 50-year-old show.” Read more... View the full article
  11. Another Nintendo Switch emulator has been taken offline as Nintendo’s crackdown on the homebrew scene continues. Work on the open-source emulator Ryujinx will cease and downloads for it have been removed after its creator was approached by the Mario maker, approximately seven months after Switch emulator Yuzu also bit… Read more...

  12. Although some fans have worried about the fatality-filled series’ latest entry, Mortal Kombat 1’s Khaos Reigns addition has introduced a lot of new content, through a free update and a paid expansion (albeit with a much-maligned story mode). One notable inclusion is the return of the Animality finishers—special final… Read more... View the full article
  13. I just finished Yakuza 0 last week, and I can safely say that it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. If you’ve ever wanted a game with far too many things to do, all of which are equally zany and good-natured, then this is the game for you. I’ve also got more than an inkling that it’ll be quintessential to… Read more... View the full article
  14. Occasionally a TV show surprises you with something so unexpected you can’t stop thinking about it for hours, days, even weeks after an episode airs. The latest episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power did just that, offering up a moment that immediately etched itself onto my brain and has remained there… Read more...

  15. You’re the toughest Helldiver in Super Earth’s arsenal, but even a super soldier capable of defeating a Bile Titan single-handedly requires the support of a well-equipped Destroyer. That’s where Ship Modules enter the fray. They’re passive upgrades—resource and credit sinks—that improve your in-mission capabilities,… Read more... View the full article
  16. Baldur’s Gate 3 console players, rejoice. As of today, you’re patch current. Larian Studios has finally brought Patch 7, which was delayed for just under a month for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Mac players after launching on PC at the beginning of September. Now, no matter where you’re playing, you can do some… Read more... View the full article
  17. At PAX West, Kotaku got the chance to preview a previously unannounced game which has now officially been revealed to the public as Spray Paint Simulator. If you have played (dozens of hours of) PowerWash Simulator like I have, then you’ll be right at home with Spray Paint Simulator. We got the chance to play 30… Read more... View the full article
  18. In Steam’s unrelenting and ever-more specific barrage of sales, this week Valve’s store is focusing on turn-based RPGs, everyone’s favorite waiting games. The likes of Final Fantasy are joined by plenty of delightful games both big and small, charming and horrifying, and above all else, rewarding to play. Here are… Read more... View the full article
  19. Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 launched last month to rave reviews and high player numbers. It’s likely the best Warhammer 40k game ever made and one of 2024's best shooters. But making it wasn’t easy, as developer Saber Interactive had to make sure every piece of armor, ****, and character was lore-accurate. Read more... View the full article
  20. Since Dragon Age: The Veilguard was properly unveiled this summer, BioWare’s long-awaited fantasy RPG has been frequently compared to Larian Studios’ 2023 Game of the Year contender Baldur’s Gate 3. At a glance, the comparison seems appropriate, as Baldur’s Gate 3 is a fantasy RPG with difficult decisions, memorable… Read more... View the full article
  21. ****** Myth: Wukong features a fast-paced, melee-focused combat system that prioritizes rapid movement and the stringing together of staff combos. However, that doesn’t mean it’s without a touch of magic. Indeed, the wildly successful action-RPG provides you with a handful of spells, used during encounters to turn the… Read more...

  22. Steven Spielberg’s son says that his famous father is a big Call of Duty fan. But don’t expect to see him playing online, as the Indiana Jones director only plays the campaign. And he’s a PC gamer, preferring a mouse and keyboard over a controller. Read more... View the full article
  23. Tokyo Game Show holds a very special place within the gaming industry. Not only has it historically been one of the most significant showcases for games and new hardware for nearly three decades, it’s also a fantastic space for developers based in Japan and across Asia to showcase their latest work. Along with… Read more... View the full article
  24. Visions of Mana is one of the most friendly RPGs you could ask for, but its class system can still feel overwhelming if you don’t specifically enjoy maximizing your damage numbers. With a total of five characters and eight unique class options (not counting each character’s default classes), you’ll have a total of 40… Read more... View the full article
  25. The PlayStation 5 30th Anniversary pre-orders were a bit of a mess last week, at least in the U.S. and some other regions. But Sony seems to be taking a smart tack with fans in Japan, introducing additional requirements for determining who can buy stuff, limiting PS1-style consoles and accessories to only those who… Read more...
