It’s bear-y nice to meet you [Despite killing time sometimes literally being a big theme inPersona 4, TurboJasper proves to us that it is far more important in the grand scheme of things then you’d normally think it would be. ~Strider] It’s a rainy Friday night. The bus to my part-time job isn’t coming and I am soaking myself to the bone waiting. I decide to treat my self to a meal at Aiya and call it a night....

Annoying Internet memes have a new flavor of fear. A2M’s conceptually brilliantNaughty Bearhas a brand new trailer, and this week our fine furry friend has shown exactly what happens when Peanut Butter Jelly Time meets a baseball bat. It’s short, it’s to the point, and it does very little to stop us being pumped for this game. Even if this game sucks, it’ll deserve a play for the idea alone. We need more sociopathic teddy bears in games, and I’m glad A2M is representing....

It’s 2:10 on the good ol’ west coast, and I’m tired.Dogtired, boss. But here I am, delirious with fatigue, getting this post ready for you night owls and early-to-risers. Why? It’s big news, that’s why. Wii owners and those of us who shake our tiny fists at the heavens at every quick-and-dirty VC release will be pleased to know that tomorrow morning (or four to six hours from now, y’know, whatever), Nintendo will unveil WiiWare, downloadable games for the underdog console that would be king....
Also a new QA team No Man’s Skyis a massive game, and thus, it’s susceptible to massive bugs. Hello Games acknowledges this factin a blog post, noting that they’ve been tracking “a number of issues,” and are already making strides to solve them. For starters they’ve hired a new QA team, which is larger than the development squad, to help out the Sony QA team. There will also be a patch in the “near future” to address some of these problems, as well as implementing a ticketing system for user support....
Nintendo boss says it could be ‘unwholesome’ Nintendo overlord Satoru Iwata has revealed thatAnimal Crossing: New Leafwould not be getting any paid downloadable content. Apparently, it’s not “wholesome” enough an idea to fit in with the game’s philosophy. “That sort of element is absolutely not being added,” he said in financial Q&A, as translated byKotaku. He added that such monetization would affect the way the game is played, leading the “unwholesome” end result that Nintendo fears....
Mortal Kombat 1has a hell of a DLC lineup on the way. Today’s Omni-Man gameplay trailer showcases why he may just be the most badass of the bunch when he arrives this month. Just as in theInvincibleanimated Amazon series, Omni-Man isvoiced by the ridiculously awesome J.K. Simmons. Throughout the trailer, NetherRealm Studios shows off the actor’s skills as he relentlessly mocks Liu Kang and his allies prior to beating the hell out of them....
‘Blight’ Path of Exileslowly earned the right to be constantly installed on my PC. Although the game did things right out of the gate in 2013 on PC, it didn’t hold my interest long term. Over the course of the next few years developer Grinding Gear Games flipped that mentality on its head, offering up droves of free expansions (as in, major 100+ hour content drops) while keeping the game free....
Bless modding While I have no real affinity towards the console or PC platform (both are great!), I absolutely love the modding community and it’s interesting to see what they can come up with. In addition to ahost of playable characters, includingAlfred, players have put Sefton Hill, the director ofBatman: Arkham Knight, into the game. As you’d expect the video showing off gameplay is a bit silly, but it still brings a smile to my face....

Montreal adventureGotham Knights, currently in development for PC and consoles. While it has been common knowledge that theBatman: Arkhamspin-off would feature co-op support for two players, a recent update tothe PlayStation Store listingfor the title now suggests that the open-world title may, in fact, support four-player multiplayer....
