I just got sickled and hammered These ads come from not too long after the Iron Curtain became the Iron Drapes, and Western culture began flooding the former Warsaw Pact. It’s obvious that there was still a little bit of a learning experience going on in 1996 as far as marketing electronics goes. However, I believe more things are going on here than meets the eye.

Let’s look at the evidence “Trust no one” is probably a good takeaway from a cyber-futuristic dystopia story about warring factions and competing interests. Still, we’re inclined to believe thisCyberpunk 2077leak that will see a new limited edition console on store shelves. The details are unconfirmed and the timeline is blurry, but here’s what we’re working with. Let’s work backward. First, here’s a look at the limited editionCyberpunk 2077Xbox One X that may be revealed soon (but also may be fake) (but we think is probably real):...

No dawdling here:Helldivers 2developer Arrowhead Games should continue hiding and obfuscating key game information as its live-service production pipeline goes on.Do the Terminids now fly?Do you trust your own eyes, ears, and dead Helldivers? Of course not! And that’s how it should be. Let’s take a small step back first, though. The modern gaming media industry is positively inundated with meta-gaming and content strategizing: you can find a dozen expert (or “expert,” as it were) content creators discussing the ins and outs of the latest piece of content within a stone’s throw of any remotely popular release....

Xbox One players who have been patiently waiting for multiplayer by way ofDon’t Starve Togetherwill have their day this spring, and Klei and 505 Games are also prepping a retail release of theDon’t Starve Mega Packon Xbox One and PlayStation 4....
But could there be more…? [Update:I’m sorry to break some hearts here, but it turns out Snake will not be coming toTekken 7. In aTweet from the official EVO Twitter account, it was confirmed that the Snake cameo was a joke held by EVO without knowledge from Bandai Namco. Nothing was meant to imply that Snake would be coming toTekken, though I have no idea what they thought would happen doing that....

It’s an offer I can’t refuse We’re two weekends intoSuper Mario 3D All-Stars‘ limited availability window, and I’ve gotta ask: is anyone else out there collecting every last trinket inMario 64,Sunshine, andGalaxy? I can’t help myself. After reaching the castle basement, I decided to sideline64and circle back once I had completedSunshineandGalaxy.
