Whoa. I just experienced atinyadrenaline rush. Today, TikGames and Create Studios announced earlier today thatSmash Cars, a PlayStation Network RC car racing title, would release in the second quarter of this year. The partners also released a ton of screenshots of the game. However innocent this all seems, consider yourself warned: the images have graphic depictions of small vehicles, women in bathing suits, and surfboards.

What? I have no idea if Harold Ramis would have approved of this, but this is a thing now. Remember the 1993 classic filmGroundhog Day? Most of you do: it had a killer premise and a perfect lead in Bill Murray. Well it’s back, in VR form. Like most sequels to ’80s and ’90s comedies, this one deals with the son of the original character Phil Connors (Phil Connors Jr.), as he’s caught in the same time loop as his father in the same town (Punxsutawney)....

Leon and Claire’s hi-jinx have already overtaken the sales ofResident Evil 7– yet to break the one million mark – in just two months. Whether this is becauseResi 2is inherently a better game, or whether it is because of thisThomas the Tank Enginemod is a question that will no doubt be argued for generations....
As you may have heard, there is a group calling themselves Retake Mass Effect who are lobbying for BioWare to create a new ending forMass Effect 3, and they’re doing a great job of drawing attention to themselves. First theygot angry at BioWare, then they did somenice work for charity, then they told everyone that they did some nice work for charity, and now I’m writing about the fact that they told everyone that they did some nice work for charity....
Emphasis on theRumortoid. A supposedly leaked scan from this week’s issue ofFamitsushows what looks to be information on an “enhanced” version of Square’s infamous classic, saying that it’s headed for the DS. While there are plenty of you out there who may alreadyNOThaveChrono Triggeron yourNOTDS, the prospect of something like this is still pretty exciting, huh?

Check out everything Destructoid did today I tried to get a copy ofNew Super Mario Bros. Uat Old Navyso I could return a sealed copy to Walmart and get money back, but they only gave it to the first 48 people in line. My scheme to get a free game was foiled. Curses!

Another week brings a new set of Scout missions, and you can now complete the Scout 10 tasks inThe Division 2. The structure is pretty similar to the last few weeks: there’s a piece of intel, hinting at different tasks to complete. There are three to complete, and things are slightly different this week. Unlike the last few iterations, there are fewer location restrictions in the new missions. How to complete The Division 2 Scout 10 missions?...
60fps for physical media stalwarts The Physical Media vs. Digital Media war rages on, and it’s a battle that I feel passionately about. Gimme codes for everything.

Apparently, Team Ico’sThe Last Guardianhas some next-gen enhancements on PS5but only if you have the disc....
Delayed to Spring 2019 Cao Cao is a central figure inThe Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so I’d be seriously surprised if anyone didn’t expect him to show up in Creative Assembly’s upcomingTotal War: Three Kingdoms. In case you had your doubts, though, this new trailer has introduced the general with an in-engine cinematic trailer. The graphics are solid enough for a strategy game, but you just cannot beat that art style....
