Rad I remember the pain (read: amazingness) ofDiablo III‘s Inferno mode, pre-nerf. Solo I managed to make it to the final boss of Act 2 before they nerfed it, but I did like the difficulty reworks in general. 2.4.2 looks to be more of the good stuff, and with more items, comes three new difficulty settings — Torment XI-XIII. Also, we’re finally getting a way to hide the UI for better screenshots, as well as a few extras like more minimap icons, and guaranteed Greater Rift Keys after completing a Rift....

Today, Eidos dumped a bunch of screenshots for io Interactive’sMini Ninjas. The developer’s name should ring a bell if you’re into killing people — io are the guys responsible for theHitmanseries and the less cool, but equally sadisticKane & Lynch: Dead Men. As far as we know,Mini Ninjaswon’t have players popping skulls with sniper rifles or star large bald clones with barcodes engraved on their napes. But don’t let that cloud your vision....

So, here’s the deal. Since today is Friday, there would typically be an in-depth description of an imaginary game in this very spot.

RNG and music bugs fixed A pair of nasty-sounding bugs have kept some fans from picking upFinal Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remasterfor PlayStation 4, but they’re finally fixed as of an update this week. You’re good to go. One of the issues involved random number generation (RNG). It resulted in certain “random” aspects ofX/X-2, like encounters and drops, to always play out the same way, even if you restarted. The other bug made it so the background music would start over after each random battle....
