Barbara the Barbarian is the newest playable character inRayman Legendswho wields a giant battle axe helping Rayman and the crew save the day. There’s no difference between the characters as far as the attacks go, but I know for a fact that she’s going to be my main from now on. She has some hilarious animations going on, and it’s just pretty cool seeing her swing the battle axe around....

Despite being one of the most inhospitable game markets in Europe, ban-friendly Germany has somehow taken over the United Kingdom tobecome Europe’s biggest. Yep, the country that invented the term “killer games” and bans everything it can get away is now on top of the PAL mountain. Germany has slipped into first place thanks to a 20% decline in year-on-year software sales in the UK for the first half of 2009....

Rock hard The Talus are a returning enemy fromThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The giant rock creatures are hard to miss, rising from the earth and lumbering around. New toTears of the Kingdom, however, are the walking fortresses, Battle Talus. Despite this, they’re relatively easy to take down. Keep in mind, however, that they hit like a train. This is maybe unsurprising considering their size and rocky complexion, but if you take them lightly, you’ll be smeared across the floor....

Here’s how to beat the whirlpool boss inOctopath Traveler 2 The Scourge of the Sea is a technically optional boss that you’ll inevitably fight sooner than later inOctopath Traveler 2. It is located in a whirlpool that blocks off your access to the eastern side of the ocean.

To infinity and beyond After 4,000 spin-offs and 95,000 years, to say fans were eagerly awaiting the arrival ofKingdom Hearts IIIis almost underselling the hype. I’m not even a diehard fan and I was foaming at the mouth to get a copy. This was a series I started in my teens and that has been around for more than half of my life. I needed to see the conclusion, even if it was never going to meet my lofty expectations....

Born out of a Twitter friendship Just last weekUndertalecreator Toby Fox revealed that he was given the opportunity to contribute a song forPokemon Sword&Shield‘s soundtrack, but it was left ambiguous as to what that would entail. Now, thanks to a new poston the official Pokemon website, we know exactly what that song is: so we don’t have to hunt for it on launch day. Fox notes that “a lot of people from Game Freak” ended up becomingUndertalefans, and “out of the blue” he decided to message Go Ichinose-san, aPokemoncomposer, on Twitter....

It’s $70… Rememberlast year’s Mega Man Halloween costumes? Well they’re back, in Proto Man form! This one actually looks a little better, seeing as it comes with a scarf, and is made of material that seems like it wasn’t made out of a bed sheet (and lacks that weird underwear). While practically no one but the most hardenedMega Manfan will actually know what you’re supposed to be, you may find solace in knowing that you’ll have a sweet pair of shades to use after Halloween day....
