The clip doesn’t show much, only featuring journalist protagonist Frank West jump out of a helicopter above the Willamette shopping mall, the iconic setting of the first game....

It’s hard to keep track of the demos available during Steam Next Fest. I wish Steam would email me about games on my wishlist getting demos, becauseUncle Chop’s Rocket Shophas been on my wishlist since August 2022. Would have been nice tohear of the demo.

Next week, it’ll be back to the older stuff, as Harmonix will be bringing us the “Classic Rock Pack 01”. I guess their definition of “classic rock” includes any music that uses guitars and was made before in or before 1980. But frankly, I wouldn’t really consider The Police or Blondie as part of that genre; when I think of classic rock, I usually start humming songs from artists like The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton....

Pikachu makes another appearance I don’t think I’ve watched theMacy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since I was 10, but if gathering around the TV (or the actual event in New York City) is your thing, this year it’ll feature Pikachu and Eruptor, the Skylander. While the actual parade is basically meaningless to me, the fact that gaming has become this popular is a pretty awesome thing. Some people dislike it when their hobby gets too big, but as someone who has made fun of occasionally for playing Pokémon as a kid, I’m pretty satisfied....

Namely, Endure, and Inescapable Frenzy You know how the saying goes: you fix one thing, you break two more. From Software games are pretty huge, and as a result, tweaks in one patch may have rippling effects on some small part of their games.Elden Ringis one of the biggest projects they’ve undertaken, so another minorElden Ringpatch is a given. Released this morning, the 1.07.1 patch chiefly deals withEndure(an Ash of War), and nerfs it, following a “greater impact on game balance than expected....
