Capcom Europe is promotingResident Evil 5in the United Kingdom by hiding fake body parts around London and encouraging gamers to find them, take them to Westminster Bridge and wave them around screaming “Kijuju.” I kid you not. Capcom is basically going to get its fans arrested or killed. “Find as many of the bodies as you may, or what is left of them, and return them to Westminster Bridge by 11am,” challenges Capcom....

It’s a Victorian-era Dark Souls, basically Last week, I got to gohands-on withBloodborne. This visually evocative and bleak follow-up toDark Souls IIis a change of pace, but also something that feels and plays very much like the games of the past. While the change in setting and story got a lot of people worried about whether or not it was a trueSoulstitle, my time with it showed me that it was aSoulsgame through and through....

Telltale Games’ magnum grossness Telltale Games has released a trailer for the final season in their very popular, highly-acclaimed series;The Walking Dead. InThe Final Season,long-surviving hero Clementine will make her swansong appearance as series protagonist, reflecting on the years of horrifying encounters she has faced ever since she was a mere child. The Walking Deadinteractive storytelling series blew fans and critics away upon its arrival, way back in 2012.

Hotfix 2.6.1.1 This week’sDestiny 2update is a little light, but that’s becauseShadowkeepis in full swing and the recent pinnacle changes were already pretty significant.

Your fleece is more than a fashion choice. Cult of the Lamb‘s adorable cult leader has become iconic in their red fleece, but their wardrobe grows over time. By finishing quests for peripheral characters, like Sozo in Spore Grotto, you will receive a piece of the Holy Talisman. Four pieces will unlock a new fleece for the Lamb to wear on crusades. The Holy Talismans take time and effort to collect, so it’s likely that you will be unlocking them one at a time....

Spoilers! This goes without saying but if you aren’t keen on finding out what the adorable three starters (that were announced back in May) forPokemon Sun&Moonlook like in the next stage of their evolution, don’t watch the video below or scroll down much further. Suffice to say, none of them go full-on ferocious yet, as they still retain their patented cuteness. And while you argue below about which one is the best still (it’s not Popplio), you can also peruse the rest of the video for footage on the festival system that facilitates minigames, more opportunities to mega-evolve, and the new concept of “Poke Pelago,” a now-canon paradise that your creatures live in while they’re stuffed into boxes on your in-game PC....

You got your JRPG in my hip-hop I got an unusual e-mail a few days ago. I’m not especially well versed in the subject matter, but I found it interesting, and hopefully you will too. Some of you might rememberJayson Napolitano, who used to run the “Note Worthy” and “The Sound Card” articles on the main page. He’s since moved on to running his own music label and PR company. His latest project sounded fascinating, so I wanted to take a look....

It’s sticking to 30 frames per second Forza Motorsport 7might’ve been an impressive-looking showcase title for Xbox One X at launch, but I get the feeling that plenty of folks would just as well stick with 2016’sForza Horizon 3if given the choice. Today, the game has added native 4K support for Xbox One X players in a free update. Along with 4K, there are “a number of graphical improvements to the game, such as increased shadow resolution, improved visual effects, and increased LOD and draw distances,” as detailed on theXbox Wireand explored more in-depth inthis Digital Foundry analysis....

We may be smack-dab in the middle of a huge new controversy surrounding Nvidia’s flagship-level GPUs: both the RTX 5000andthe RTX 4000 series cards. In what seems like a growing number of cases, users discover that the GPUs’ 12VHPWR cable is prone to extreme heat buildup and burning.
