Sony’s new console will launch this November with an eye-watering price It’s no secret that console prices are really expensive outside of North America, Western Europe, and Japan. As expensive as a new Xbox One or PS4 is, spare a thought for our Brazilian friends who are going to be paying almost$1,850 USD for Sony’s new consolewhen it launches there on November 29. At least Brazilians are going to be able to get the console at the same time as most Western gamers but that’s still an eye-watering price....

[Update: Added some gameplay videos below] We have written aboutPoiprior to now, but somehow it flew under my radar.Poilooks like all the best parts ofSuper Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario GalaxyandBanjo-Kazooiein a single game, and I seriously can’t wait to get my hands on it. The trailer above has me both nostalgic and giddy that I could get to play this in the future, pending it gets funded onKickstarter....

With inspirations ranging fromWindjammerstoTron, the game was a hit among fans that couldn’t get enough of its fast-paced nature and cutthroat competitive edge.

Microsoft, along with Epic Games and Chair, had us over to give us a thorough walkthrough ofShadow Complex, showing us a build that is really close to finished. This makes sense, as we’re about three weeks away from launch. If you haven’t seenShadow Complex, imagine a Metroidvania-type side-scrolling adventure created with the Unreal Engine, with a story and setting based on the novelEmpire, by Orson Scott Card. This was the game everyone was talking about at E3, and now that we’ve seen a bit more, we can’t quit talking about it either....

Updated: July 31, 2025 We looked for new codes!

As promised earlier this year, the update is finally out that adds Golf toSwitch Sportsfor free. It’s not a particularly massive patch (we’ve gotten several that tweak or patch prior issues), but it adds the activity all the same, and highlights that it can be played in every mode (online, locally, or with friends)....

Swords and the PlayStation Move just seem like something that goes together so a game calledSwords and Soldiersshould clearly have Move support for it. And now it does. While in realitySwords and Soldiershas very little to do with actual swordfighting and far more to do with being a cartoony RTS, it’s still nice to know that the latest patch for the game adds the functionality. We’re guessing you’ll wave your Move controller around to attack and perform other actions....
