Use your eyes, not your brain Box art posts are kind of terrible. Everything of substance is squarely in one image. You look at it and think “Hmm, that’s pretty okay.” I write words that are unnecessary, either in an attempt to describe the cover, or whining about my obligation to write. No winners here, really. With all that out of the way, the alternate Day One Edition box art forDark Souls IIIis pretty slick....
InGenshin Impact,Sand Grease Pupae are a local specialty of Sumeru found only in the Desert of Hadramaveth. Here’s where to find all 74 Sand Grease Pupae in the open world of Teyvat. Sand Grease Pupa locations and farming route Sand Grease Pupae can be foundin the northern part of the Sumeru desert, where the landscape swirls into a large spiraling formation with a sandstorm at its center. They look like gray egg-shaped objects partially buried in the sand....
Please do it Damn, IGA, I hope this game comes out on time! For the uninitiated,last year a team member fromBloodstainedconfirmed that they were moving forward with a staggered release model — in other words, a Shovel Knight strategy that involves putting out the game as soon as possible, then building on it with DLC. It’s worked out wonderfully for Yacht Club Games as theTreasure Troveaddition has re-ignited interest in a package that’s already making bank hand over fist, but Koji Igarashi (IGA) is a little less sure on the model forBloodstained....
Today is the start ofXbox Live Arcade’s House Party promotion, which is the winter equivalent to the yearly Summer of Arcade program. Today’s title isWarp, a strategic, stealth-action puzzle game. What makes it different than other puzzle games is the fact that you’re able to either choose to kill all the scientists or do an all-stealth run. The trailer shows this off in all its gruesome detail. I think I’d personally be hard-pressed to choose whether or not I’d go for the stealth or to just entirely clear the room of scientists....
Look for the update today if you’re a preview member Another Xbox One system update, another opportunity to use some insane cartoon image. Microsoft is rolling out updates for Xbox One Preview Program members in two waves — the first hits today, while the second will arrive next week. Today’s update, which the rest of us will get ~eventually~, adds descriptions to Achievement pop-ups you don’t need waste time loading the slow Achievement app to see that info....
There’s a stream on March 18 You know that Jack Nicholson nodding gif? That’s how I feel whenever I hear the phrasePhantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. I mean, I love playingPSO 2on the Xbox One. I’ve been waiting for it for years! But there’s something special about the idea of playing aPhantasy Staroffshoot at the same time with everyone else; sans a giant years-long Japan region lead. It’s glorious, and reminds me of when my whole group dove intoPhantasy Star Onlinetogether on Dreamcast and the OG Xbox....
I never get tired of checking outZeldamusic arrangements, so when reader Colin pointed us to this rough-cut album, I had to give it a listen. This currently untitled collection ofZeldatribute songs by Cory Johnson gives a post-rock spin on several tracks from throughout the series history. It’s the kind of music you’d hear in an underground indie club and which, I think, could have fit right in theScott Pilgrim vs. the Worldfilm soundtrack....
In this interview shot during the Electronic Entertainment Expo last week, Max Scoville chats up the producer ofAliens: Colonial Marines, Brian Burleson. Brian seems to be struggling a bit to not spill details about a game he’s clearly excited for and winds up doing a little (figurative) dance when Max tries to start talking about power loaders for marines in the game’s multiplayer or the range of xenomorphs players can expect to see....
Rematchis officially available for both PC and console players, and you can opt to play on a keyboard and mouse, or a controller (if you’re either on console or use that on PC). If you’re struggling to grasp the basic concepts, the first step will be to master the controls. Ideally, you’ll want to use a controller, as it’ll help you master the mechanics more quickly. Goalkeeper All Rematch controls for controller Here are all the default settings for controllers....
Adorable bundle of trouble Build-A-Bear Workshop, that store the middle classes go to for gifts when their rich relatives have a baby, is currently cross-promoting withPokemon, allowing you to get your very own Meowth to snuggle up with on those cold nights. The complete Meowth set, available online, gets you the little prick himself, along with a 6-in-1 sound chip, two cute hoodies and an exclusivePokemoncard. Traditionalists can also visit their local Build-a-Bear store in person to craft their own villainous sidekick....
Bengus would be proud I was a huge fan ofBattle Chaserswhen it was first released. A big reason for that is it was the first comic I ever read that seemed to love my favorite games as much as I did. Artist Joe Mad was just as in love with SNES RPGChrono Triggerand Capcom’s stable of ’90s fighting games as I was. He brought that love directly intoBattle Chasers, in ways both direct and subtle, and I ate it up regardless....
I can do it! I will do it nine times! Every new year, we make a resolution for us to accomplish. Then we promptly forget about losing weight or joining a gym or becoming an assassin. But this time around, we laser focus on the ones that got away. Because everyone has that one thing they’ve never finished despite how much they try. It’s not the same as a backlog per se....
One of the worst things about the industry today is that there are just so damned many games coming out at any one time. One of the best things about it is that there’s no end to the variety between them. A game can be about basically anything, and developers are constantly exploring how far they can push “anything.” I’m not sure Jake Clover’sCape Hideousis about anything. I’m not even sure it’s about something....
