Shadow Warrior 3, as the name denotes, is the third installment in the somewhat tongue-in-cheek first-person shooter series....

Witness Columbia come to life BioShock Infiniteis without a doubt a great looking game. Fact. The concept art is no different, and artistBen Loshared a bunch of concept pieces he created for the game over on his personal blogspot. Most it involves the city of Columbia, ranging from the welcoming world players experienced in the very beginning, to the darker side over in Finkton. I’ve included some of my favorite pieces below, and the rest can be seenover on Ben’s site....

Smoothies are an absolute staple inZelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and there are a lot of different recipes to choose from. Each recipe can provide unique perks, and it can be hard to tell which are the best. WhichSmoothieyou should make depends on what you’re hoping to get out of using it, or the situations you’re likely to encounter afterwards. The best Smoothies for battle are not going to do you much good if you’re hoping to survive the chill of Hebra Mountain, for instance, while swimming around Zora Cove can be aided by using a Smoothie that increases your swimming speed....

Brewster’s secret additive isn’t what you think One of the more interesting bits of evocative minutia in theAnimal Crossingseries comes from the player’s potential relationship with Brewster, the local coffee barista. It’s hard to win the favor of this high class, gyroid loving pigeon-person, but with persistence and tact, you can eventually gain his approval. What is the reward for attaining insider status with this oh-so exclusive, semi-hipster cafe proprietor? Pigeon Milk....

Hope you like importing anime dancing games… Things have been pretty dire for Wii owners for a good long while now. And now that Nintendo has the Wii U to worry about, things aren’t likely to ever improve on that front. In fact, the platform holderdoesn’t currently have anything in the worksfor their now last-generation console. Namco Bandai sure does though.According to Famitsu, the Japanese publisher is planning to release a new game for the Wii next year....

Spotify and iTunes, among others A few months ago, around the height of E3,Sonic gave us a full and free Sonic concert. Clocking in at nearly two hours long, it celebrates the entire history of the series, from the very first game all the way through the new era. And now you’re able to stream the Sonic 30th anniversary album. Sega announced its release this week, and provideda list of services that carry it here, following a digital purchase launch on August 31....

Coming December 14 with the Jungle Storm update The Predator sneaking around in the jungles ofGhost Recon Wildlands? It’s more likely than you might think. Ubisoft has uploaded a teaser trailer for a “special event” called The Hunt, which is set to appearon-stream tomorrowat 9:00am Pacific and in-game on Wednesday, December 14. Bodies strung up in trees, a chopper flying overhead, symbols straight out of thePredatormovies, familiar clicking sounds, a skull logo with a thermal vision effect applied… the list goes on....

At its E3 conference this year, Ubisoft didn’t say much about its Michael Jackson game, other than that it existed. It was waiting for an event in London apparently, where it revealed most of the details for the title, calledMichael Jackson: The Experience. The game puts players in the shiny loafers of the King of Pop as they re-enact his dances and performances, including “Beat It” and “Billie Jean.” The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will feature support for Kinect and Move, respectively....

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Video Games Live, you’re doing yourself a disservice. The peanut butter and jelly mix of live musicians and a stunning, cutting-edge visual experience is unlike anything you’ll ever see (although that Megadeth/Pantera concert I went to in high school comes pretty close). Your list of excuses for not catching the show has dwindled. Video Games Live has announced 40 shows for 2008, which take the tour around the globe — Taiwan, Brazil, Germany, France, England, Scotland, the United States … you get the idea....

As always, though, we’ll be giving away copies of whatever is currently streaming or Amazon gift cards to lucky viewers!...

CowsHogwarts Legacylocation To find cows inHogwarts Legacy,you’ll need to venture to the East Hogsmeade Valley. There’s a convenient Floo Powder location there.

You can find it basically right after the tutorial Like most things inPokemon ScarletandViolet, Grassy Terrain requires you to finish the tutorial to access the proper area. After spending several hours engrossed in the setup of the narrative (and the three storylines therein), you’ll be able to leave the academy and start building up your Pokedex and TM repertoire. If you’re heading to the first (bug) gym due westward, you can likely just pick Grassy Terrain up on your way there....

Shocking absolutely nobody Wildstaronce stood firm in the face of a growing tide of MMOs ditching subscriptions and instead opting for Free-to-Play orGuild Wars-style one time purchasing. Developer Carbine has been pretty critical of F2P in the past and so it seemed unlikely to ever go completely down that route. It turns out an MMO with dwindling popularity can’t actually stand firm. Whodathunkit?Games.on.nethas reported that major Australian retailers EB Games and JB Hi-fi have been instructed to remove the game from sale....
