Mega Man fans, get ready to almost be excited. According to Seth Killian, Senior Community Manager atCapcom-Unity.com, there is at least one secret left to be found inMega Man 9. If you thought thatFake Manwas a letdown, then perhaps this news will brighten your soggy face. It sure has brightened mine. So what do you think it is?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobylis on salefor a measly $5 from now until November 2 on Steam. If you know the importance of this scenario, chances are you already own the game. If not, well, you have little to no excuse not to. The game may be far from perfect, but what it lacks has been made up for by its devoted fanbase of modding extraordinaires. Now would be the opportune time to see what all the fuss is about before the stand-aloneCall of Pripyatexpansion is out here in the States....
I’m about a week late with the news on this one, butNifflashas released another game, titledSaira. Why should you care? Because Nifflas’ games — particularlyKnytt Stories— are among the most popular and well-received indie titles to date.

Sairawas self-released on Nifflas’ website a few weeks ago: it’s a 2D puzzle-platformer that runs on Windows 2000 and later....

But the flashiest update of all is the inclusion of the Legacy System (finally!)....

One that’s constantly in flux, similar to the classic Daffy Duck cartoonDuck Amuck. Would you still be you one year from now after several changes have been made?...
We may have a long wait until we get our hands onGrand Theft Auto 6, but series fans who miss its old-school style may want to pay attention toThe Precinct. The police-focused sandbox game is getting a playable demo next week as part ofSteam Next Fest.

A retrospective look This week, more than three years after its initial release,Brütal Legend, Double Fine’s sophomore effort, makes its way to PC. To the casual observer,Brütal Legendappears to be nothing more than an innocent celebration of metal culture — a game that at every opportunity bleeds the sheerbrutalexcess that defines the musical genre. While that holds true,Brütal Legendis also remarkable for being one of the most polarizing and quietly controversial games of the past five years....
