Get ready for awesome rock music in November We recently mentioned that Europe was getting someSaint SeiyalovewithSaint Seiya: Brave Soldiersfor the PlayStation 3. As it turns out, Namco Bandai intends to bring the game to North America as a downloadable title on the PlayStation Network this coming November. The fighter will feature around 50 playable characters and will include three story arcs (Sanctuary, Poseidon, and Hades), online multiplayer with character customization to differentiate your character from others online, and a seriously catchy 80s-style rock soundtrack that had me wanting more....

The campaigns are going standalone Yacht Club Games is bringing its beloved platformerShovel Knightto Nintendo Switch, which, hell yeah. That and that alone could’ve been the only news item on a day like today and I would’ve been thrilled. But there’s far more, including updates to the existing versions and a planned price change. Running down the list, Yacht Club has finished the Body Swap Mode forShovel Knight‘s campaign and is also working on a two-player co-op update for “all console and PC platforms (3DS/Vita not included)....

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attackwas one of the first games I ever picked up for my Vita, and I still find myself going back to it from time to time. Today, it’s available via PS3 for the first time, so you can save civilization from the monstrous creatures at your leisure from the safety and comfort of your own living room. It’s silly, schlocky, and available as a regular download via PSN or the Delicious Bundle, which has the PS3 game, soundtrack, a theme, and avatars available for $11....

‘Tubs of Fun’ sounds anything but A man attempting to win a Kinect at a carnival has reportedlylost his life savingsof $2,600 on “Tubs of Fun.” Henry Gribbohm of New Hampshire claims that, during a practice run, the game was easy, but once he played for real and money was involved, “it’s not possible that it wasn’t rigged.” How does one lose on this scale? He reportedly tried to win back his lost money by going double or nothing....

There are a lot of PC gamers Steam, which has 65 million registered users, just had 7 million people online at the same time. That’s a lot of people at once. That’s like if everyone in Hong Kong, or most of the people in New York City, all got onto Steam at once to play games. That would be one crazy LAN party. Last year, Steam had a high of 6 million concurrent users, so it has grown by 1 million in a year, or about 16%....

I’m pretty excited forSmash‘s console iteration soon, but in the meantime I’ll just enjoy it on the 3DS!...

1.2.0 Just over a month agoWargroovewas unleashed into the world and players immediately took to it. Partly because of the general lack of high profile SRPGs in the current market (Into the Breachcomes to mind), but also no doubt due to itsAdvance Warsaesthetic. It just got even better too with a large quality of life patch that smooths out some of the game’s rough edges. The main event is the checkpoint system, which you can set anywhere and allows you to return to a specific point in a campaign battle after death....

Sadly, it’s still MIA Added back in late 2019, theFortniteBattle Lab was a staple of many players’ weeklyFortniteexploits. In short, it was a way to check out the map without having to tangle with enemy players (and you even respawn!), with support for up to 16 players.Sadly it’s gone, and it hasn’t returned in the newest chapter 4, season 1 rollout. The Battle Lab could return in the future, but it isn’t in at launch forFortniteChapter 4, season 1 While playing Battle Lab and checking out the map was a fantastic tool for research, and had a ton of strategic value, you can’t do it anymore....

I know that despite how manyDisgaeaiterations that NIS pumps out, folks still find themselves going back to the original....

Hey, I liked it Nintendo’s Virtual Boy is a very easy target. Released on July 07, 2025, the strange gaming device represented a shift in Nintendo’s marketing campaign, as it attempted to sell the unit to older gamers rather than focus on the younger audience. It failed, and the system faded into history. But I’ll never forget it. I was at my cousin’s house and we were playing outside, exploring the wilderness, when he asked if I wanted to see his birthday present....
