Last week, Ubisoft released its first bit of downloadable content forPrince of Persiain the form of “Epilogue.” New areas, new powers, new… stuff! And if you own a PlayStation 3 and live in the United States, we want to give you it to you! Here’s how to win: we want you to scare us with laughter. What does that mean? Scour the Internet for the most wild animated GIFs from the horror film of your choice and post it in the comments of this thread....

While I’d never considered it before, I don’t think there are many artists out there more deserving of an 8-bit remix album than Daft Punk. I’m no expert on their work, but I have always loved their signature blend of heavy electronic funk with a catchy melody. If you happen to be like me and aren’t acquainted with the majority of Daft Punk’s repertoire and are a fan of chip music,Da Chip Volumes 1and2may be a great way to find a new appreciation for the group as the two releases together present a combined 24 remixes courtesy of some of the top names in the chip music scene....

Dead by Daylightinitially launched in 2016 and quickly became one of the best and most beloved asymmetrical horror titles in the genre. The format of each Trial pits one Killer against four Survivors, and the power of those Killers balanced with the speed and skills of Survivors has always felt fair. But the game has remained the same for almost a decade, and now Behaviour Interactive believes it’s time to mix things up....

While Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack has to be commended for his bravery in speaking directly to gamers in this matter, I have to admit I flinched when I read the whole story: it seems he has challenged NeoGAF forum users to stand up for or against the upcoming title “Too Human“. According toNext-Gen.Biz: “The deal is: Prior to the release of Too Human, posters say whether they are “for” or “against” the game, judging from previews and footage they’ve seen....

Server issues, but not nearly as bad Well, this is a lot smoother thanFinal Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn‘s initial launch, which left some people unable to log in for weeks. For the sake of science, I logged out of the game and attempted to log back in on another platform (my server is Lamia), and was only greeted with a queue of 10 other players, which took 30 seconds to get through....

Hudson shared theannouncement on Twitter, saying he’s been “working with some colleagues on something awesome.” The company has anumber of job openings on its site, including Sr. Creative Director, Gameplay Designer, and Level Designer positions....

No Friday-night plans? Wrong! You’re staying inside this evening, and playing lots ofA.R.C. Squadron. Psyonix has come out with a “Super Pre-Alpha” version of the aforementioned flight combat game, and even in this early, simplified state, it’s a total riot. Similarly, since it’s being developed with the Unreal Development Kit,A.R.C. Squadronlooks quite lovely; and it’s only going to get better from here on out. Since last night, when I first tried the game, Psyonix has already pushed out an update....

“I’d buy that for a dollar!” Okay, so you shouldknowtheformatby now. Five soundtracks for $1 and an additional seven (plus more to be unlocked as sales increase) for $10. This round offers a number of high-profile soundtracks that we’ve written about recently, includingRetro City Rampage,Spelunky, and Disasterpeace’sShoot Many Robots. The $10 tier includes some that I’m particularly interested, includingHotline Miamiand thePokemon-centricKanto Symphonyalbum. There’s also this strangeSkyrimmain theme parody track that I’d been wondering about since it popped up onVGMdb....

There was a time — some might call it 2001 — where flash animations were truly the bee’s knees. Neither indie games nor viral videos had become the powerhouses they are today, and thus it was up to the regular contributors at Newgrounds and Albinoblacksheep to provide the bored denizens of the Internet with something to do while ignoring work. In this atmosphere of boredom and mediocrity, it was only appropriate that the laziest of art styles (stick men) and the laziest of narratives (people killing each other) combined to form one of the most prolific and entertaining flash series of the early 00’s:Xiao Xiao....

There’s offers on Max Payne, Outlast, and Skyrim GameStop never gets much notice for selling PC games to download and I’ll admit, part of that comes down to me living in the UK and GameStop being almost non-existent here. I know everyone gears themselves up for the Steam summer sale but there’ssome good deals to be found here: There’s a whole heap of offers on that main page, so check out some of the publisher pages; there’s big savings on games from Bandai Namco, SEGA, Warner Bros....

Bloodymare? Seriously …Bloodymare? I’ve had tore-read that nameat least half a dozen times to make sure I’ve got it right. It doesn’t even make sense, and by God I love it.Requiem: Bloodymareis a new MMORPG with the adult gamer in mind, and is promising to injecta dose of true carnageinto your massively multiplayer online world. The name, as nonsensical (and fantastic) as it is, gives a hint of what to expect....

It’s a new streaming service that turns Google’s data centers into the platform. There’s no external hardware required.
