I can’t wait to replay the original trilogy Before Naughty Dog was winning major awards with “groundbreaking narratives,” they were putting “ass” and “motherfucker” into their coding. Yep, as this Did You Know Gaming video points out,Crash Bandicootwas nicknamed “the ass game,” because of the constant camera angle, and many enemies had codenames that involved the word “ass” for assistant. You can also get reacquainted with some of the more well-known parts of the series’ history, like executive meddling, and why Crash was named Crash (because he crashed through boxes)....

It’s been over a decade since the last main entry “You are victorious!” I’ve heard those words a thousand times over the course of my multiplePuzzle Questplaythroughs. It all started back in March of 2007, and has, sporadically, continued to this day. While hope was lost for a while that the series would continue in earnest, a 2019 Switch port (with some new content) hinted that one day, we could see it return....

I’ve been playingOverlord IIall weekend and loving it, despite a number of issues. That’s why I’m all for some extra content, which Triumph Studios is planning to announce in the near future. Whenasked aboutany future DLC forOverlord II, creative director Lennart Sas was revealed that it is currently being worked on. “We’re actually working on that now and it’ll be announced soon,” confirmed Sas. He refused to give any comment as to what the content actually is, or whether “working on that,” means, “it’s been ready for weeks and we’re just holding onto it....

The millennial with an estimated $730 million net worthdonated$100,000 to Donald Trump’s celebratory inaugural committee, as reported byMother Jones. Luckey, whose donation, “[puts] him in the upper tier of contributors to the event,” sent the money through a company called Wings of Time. It has no name associated with it, but a second address listed is the same used by Luckey Arms LLC....

Thank the Gods of Silence; you’re able to mute those talking flowers inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. That damned “onward and upward” that one spews at Mario is locked in a very painful spot in my mind. It’s like having a grain of sand between the folds of brain, slowly aggravating everything around it in small but significant ways. Thankfully, Nintendo’sown Japanese bloghas shared a screenshot that reveals a setting specifically for the “Talking Flower Voice....

Sony has pinged us to remind of us of our own mortality, and to tell us that the PlayStation 2 is nine-years-old. That’s right, the system made its North American debut on October 26, and for me, it marked my first DVD player. I remember going to my local EB Games, bringing back the unit to my college dorm room, and popping inSSX(remember those blue-bottom CD-based discs?) for the first time....

A couple of weeks ago, we saw a trailer forBattle Slots, new casual RPG from Phantom EFX featuring a slot machine-based combat mechanic. I thought that the use of a slot-machine was at least an honest representation of how much of a role luck plays in other, similar games. Now I’ve had an opportunity to play the game itself and it feels promising. Battle Slots takes place in Tellus, which seems to be a cookie-cutter fantasy world where a demon has united evil creatures of all ilk under his command and seems to be trying to take over....

Construction on the bridge connecting downtown Paradise City to Big Surf Island is finally complete! Well, the bridge still has some construction going on but that’s not going to stop anyone from heading into the island. Plus, all of the remaining construction makes for some pretty sweet jumps! I got to visit Big Surf Island when I tried out theCops and Robbers DLCa little while ago and the new island is a great addition to theBurnout Paradiseexperience....

With 2.0 and 3.3 updates, respectively Sony is bringing themes to PS4 and Vita with upcoming firmwares 2.0 and 3.3, respectively. The themes offer you a chance to customize your Vita and PS4 home screens with wallpapers and associated icons. My PS3 has been set to the same theme for years, the Fang theme that comes when you get the Treasure Hunter trophy inFinal Fantasy XIII. Yes, I did that. Yes, I regret it....

You have until December 31 at 3:59PM PT If you want to grab Tsareena for free inPokemon Unite, make sure you do it before the end of the day! The offer expires at 3:59PM PT, today, August 06, 2025. That’s basically reset time, for all the regular players. As a refresher, Tsareenacame onto the scene three weeks ago, right before Dragonite, as a new all-rounder. They made a splash not only because all-rounders were rare as post-launch characters, but they also had an impact on the game’s meta in some ranks: with some tier lists putting her near the top....
