And I was just starting to save money… It’s that time of the year again where PC gamers froth at the mouth and default on their home loans thanks to insanely cheap gaming deals. Yes, the Steam Summer Sale is now live and you can get to buying up everything in your backlog without destroying your bank account…although you’ll likely end up obliterating it anyway by seeing that certain game you’ve always wanted to try for $5....

But should they have I didn’t own a Game Boy Camera at launch (only one person I know did and their parents were loaded), but I did pick one up eventually out of curiosity. It’s…a thing Nintendo did once, but hero Bastiaan Ekeler managed to step up Nintendo’s game by sticking a giant 3D-printed lens on it (every cool mod is 3D-printed these days). Ekeler admits that the entire affair is absurd, but managed to cram the thing in nonetheless, and snapped some really cool pictures with the low-tech setup....

After Black Panther, even Just yesterday,we learned thatMarvel’s Avengerswill be welcoming Black Panther into the fray “later this year.”But what about Spider-Man, the still PlayStation exclusive hero? Later…than later, apparently. Speaking to IGN, Scot Amos, Crystal Dynamics’ head of studio, noted that “formally, officially, people are working on him right now.” However, there is a faint hint as to when that might be. He is coming “after Black Panther,” which is listed in the “beyond” section of the “summer and beyond” point of the roadmap....

PC, PS4, and Xbox One This teaser trailer forSlasher Vol. 1: Summer Campisn’t much to go off, but the concept — a third-person survival game inspired by ’80s slasher films — is strong enough that I’m listening. In this first game, you’ll play as a teenage camp counselor alongside other players trying to survive until dawn (as if that means you’re truly safe) — or the killer. That could be good!...

Keep, keep bleeding For me, blood has always been an integral part of being a woman. Into underwear, at the hands of someone else, in the shower when you shave too close, etc. In video games, women bleed all the time, but typically for more spectacular reasons — they obliterated analien pod, got theirfingers bitten off, someone hacks into theirdeformed fleshwith a rusted weapon. Again, again, and again. All these bleeding women gushing around, digitally and physically, but we have no real way to understand it, to peacefully live with all this red....

Three cartoons, three films by women, and a violent overthrow of the US government by a black paramilitary group Hey, you guys, welcome back toThe 300, a recurring feature on my perilous attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide world of cinema in all its forms. I hope there’s something here for you to enjoy and share as well....

More than just an ugly face If you’ve read any of my features this month, you know how much I love Halloween, so naturally I’ve been wanting to play all kinds ofspooky gamesto get in the spirit. I started withBioShock, and let me tell you, that game does not disappoint. For me, what makesBioShock‘s horror particularly great is that yes, the enemies look creepy, but it’s not because of some nondescript zombie virus or generic demonic possession....

According tothis updatefrom the game’s official development blog, Castle Crashers— the long-awaited, XBLA-exclusive, hand-drawn 2D beat ’em up from the great minds at The Behemoth — is finally complete. This, my friends, is very good news. With the PS3 soon to be adorned with the magic that will beMetal Gear Solid 4, and the Wii already being graced with the mystery (andschwetty balls) that isWii Fit, the 360 could desperately use some AAA exclusives to keep up with its Japanese cousins....

Sorry about the total vagueness of the headline, but there’s a strict character limit and withSpace Invaders Extreme,Zombie Wranglers, andArkanoid Live!allhitting Xbox LIVE Arcadeon Wednesday of this week, there’s was absolutely no way I could cram so much info in. The good news, however, is that all three games are only going to cost 800 Microsoft Points each. Can you dig it?Arkanoid Live!appears to be the same old classic content in an HD package, but with a few additions like online functionality....

It’s already been well established thatthe Steam Deckand itsmid-generation OLED refreshare not even remotely the most powerful handheld gaming PCs. Valve’s niche, instead, has been to focus on ease of use, a low power draw, and extreme customizability, the latter thanks to Deck’s burgeoning community. Indeed, the fact that Valve was the first to release a mainstream PC gaming handheld does mean that the Deck is 30-50% weaker than the newer devices,like the Lenovo Legion GO....
