Not only is it back at number one, but it also continues its overall lead in the U.S. The Xbox One fell back to the second spot, despite the momentum gained the previous two monthsfrom price cuts....

Reckless murder qualifies as unsportsmanlike conduct Further proof positive that I am bad at this job. That headline is an extremely unclickable headline. John McEnroe references in 2016? Like, who’s going to understand that? I cater to the four percent of people who understand both crime syndicate jargonand1980s tennis greats — not a winning formula as far as internet popularity goes. But, you’re here, so why not stay to watchMafia III‘s Lincoln Clay off underboss Tony Derazio?...

Hey, kind of likePokemon Legends As spotted by NintendoSoup, the upcoming duo ofPokemon ScarletandVioletwere lumped together as justVioletin the Singapore ad, which adorns every tray at this particular location (and likely more).Interestingly, the collab also involvesa “Charizard McPepper Burger,” “Eevee Pies,” and “Pikachu and Scorbunny Frappes.” Oh, and it’ll have a trading card game tie-in. This silly snafu had me thinking about how much I appreciated a lot of high-level choices inPokemon Legends....

Diablo 1080three I had a chance to test outDiablo III: Ultimate Evil Editionon the PS4and it’s pretty fantastic. At a cool 1080p and 60fps the game runs great, but on the Xbox One, it wasn’t always that way. To upgrade to 1080p from 900p Xbox One owners will have to get the day-one update — an update that we have recently learned is at the insistence of Microsoft. According to Digital Foundry, Microsoft challenged Blizzard to ensure that the Xbox One would hit that 1080p mark....

For the PlayStation 4 and Vita With last month’s release ofSuper Dimension Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls, the calendar of upcoming titles from developer Compile Heart was looking a bit barren. In fact, nothing had been announced for western shores past that game. Well, last night that changed. At a press event in San Francisco, publisher Idea Factory International unveiled three games set to hit North America and Europe in the first half of 2017, as well as a Steam release of one of Compile Heart’s better PlayStation 4 titles....

Progress I wouldn’t fault anyone for honing in on some of the more entertaining EVO matches this past weekend, especially in theDragon Ball FighterZbracket, but Arc System Works low key dropped some quick footage of theKill la Killgame on their stream and it’s worth taking a gander at. Whether it’ll play well remains to be seen (3D brawlers are iffy), but it certainly looks great on paper and is as flashy as its anime counterpart....

These are really two of the finishing touches on 2022, a really strange year for gaming. Everything started out really strong withElden Ring, then it kind of waxed and waned as the year went on. In terms of what’s left to scrape out of the jar of 2022, it’s High on Life on December 13 (not on Switch), theWitcher 3Xbox Series X/PS5 upgrade,River City Girls 2(that’s on Switch!...

3DS games are expensive normally! Months ago, Nintendo and Humble teamed up fora bundlethat included various 3DS and Wii U games. It was a cool bundle… if you were in North America. The rest of us had to just sit and watch because it was annoyingly region locked. Well, Nintendo’s now back on Humble with theHumble Friends of Nintendo Bundle, and this time, more countries can snag some cheap games too....

Tim Schafer, ina conversation with Playboy.com— the Internet’s answer to boring, highbrow pornography — revealed thatGrim FandangoandPsychonauts, while excellent games, will not be getting sequels. Here’s a quote: “I would love to go back and spend time with the characters from any game I’ve worked on, and I would love to make a sequel to any of them. But I also want to make something new.
