The platform holder has since pulled the patch and apologized for any inconvenience the issue may have caused....

Apparently Namco producer Masaaki Hoshino has no such qualms about using the expression, though. According to aSiliconera interview, Hoshino’s team specifically aimed forSoulCalibur: Lost Swordsto have a “pay-to-win” model, which in turn led to the PS3 fighting game becoming a single-player only experience....

If it ends, it ends I could talk for hours about Team Ninja. The studio that built its house onDead or Alivebut really made its name with 2004’sNinja Gaidenis one of the most fascinating action developers around.Ninja Gaiden(Black)is still an absolute classic, and its legacy coasted them through some tougher times. They even managed to snag a contract to developMetroid: Other M, and helped Omega Force withHyrule Warriors! They’ve accomplished a lot over the two decades and change they’ve been around....

Going back in time doesn’t have to mean stripping down ThePurgeseries is, for me, one that gets continually better. The first squandered the premise as a by-the-numbers home invasion film. The second took the series to the streets and opened it wide up for future installments. And the third,Election Year,was a gonzo blast of color, costuming, and comic book violence all wrapped in the most on-the-nose political satire you’d find outside of the actual White House....

I’m not even sure I want to pull out the plastic instruments again. (Unless it’s to replayThe Beatles: Rock Band. That game is magical.) But now that Harmonix hasreleasedthe final setlist, I have to look. I have to know what I’ll potentially miss out on come October....
