Having trouble getting a hold of your favorite Square Enix soundtracks via iTunes lately? That’s because their entire catalog of music (which had been quite extensive) recently disappeared from the international iTunes store. We’ve been receiving many questions as to why this occurred; many thought it may have had to do with the new iTunes Match service launch, but we’ve gone ahead and asked Square Enix for an official statement on the matter, which reads as follows:...

Remember this port? Steep, that winter sports open world game from Ubisoft that released last December to decent reviews, is still slated for Switch. Ubisoft hasn’t canceled it, but they haven’t really given us regular updates on it either. In fact, the only way we know it’s not canceled is through a brief Twitter message from a lighting/3D artist at Ubisoft Montreal, who notes that they’re still hammering out the framerate in an optimization phase....

Just buy and play the damn thing, already! System Shock 2is one of those games that everyone should get around to playing eventually. It’s an eerie and atmospheric first-person shooter with RPG elements that truly was ahead of its time. Some folks like it better thanBioShock, others don’t; regardless, it is a game that is loved by many and hated by few. Now, with theaddition ofSystem Shock 2to the Steam library, there is no reason not to own it anymore....

For some reason I was thinkingTeam Fortress 2, the game that never quits,was already available for Mac. It totally isn’t … yet. Valve wants us to know it’s on the way and will be up for purchase — or simply up for download, if you happen to own the PC counterpart — tomorrow. It goes without sayingTF2will provide many a fun hour for our Mac-owning friends, but more than that, this successful launch will hopefully free up resources at Valve’s secret laboratory so we can get that oft-mumbled-about Engineer update sooner than later....

Word on the street is Stallone is a fan A lot of people are annoyed with the idea of product placement in games. The inclusion of freeMercedes Benz DLC inMario Kart 8, and to a lesser extent, theExpendables 3/Broforcecollaboration, have some screaming “sell out”. Personally, I think they’re both great. A in-game ad or cross promotion can be unoffensive way to help a game to turn a profit. Anything that helps games to turn a profit without them being forced to pass the cost on to the consumer, or chase the favor of the lowest common denominator, is a good thing....

While myElder Scrolls V: Skyriminterview at E3 focused on the wider, overarching story and development, here at gamescom we got to see the game in much finer detail. While the majority of demo sessions chose to show us over-the-top battle scenes, Bethesda kept it, simple opting to show us an hour of regular gameplay that anyone who would play the game would experience. Those in the session got to check out the character creation, the new user interface (including the “favorites” system) combat updates, crafting (such as alchemy and enchantments), skills trees, the newFalloutstyle of lock picking, and we finished up by taking a look at the game’s level design and length....

But no official word Like most publishers, Microsoft took the advent of new consoles as an opportunity to gussy up some old titles and resell them. None of them may have been more high-profile than last summer’sGears of War Ultimate Edition. It was said to be an Xbox One exclusive for a bit, before eventually also coming to Windows 10 PC. That “eventually” may be very soon. Alistinghas appeared on the Windows 10 Store forGears of War Ultimate Edition....

What did you want? This morning, Ubisoft took part in a good old fashioned tease as they steadily revealed the “setting” of the nextAssassin’s Creedgame.I know. Yes, it’s a very caveat-filled event. Ubisoft teamed up with artistBossLogic(Kode Abdo) for the reveal, who slowly brought more details into focus in Photoshop over the course of several hours.As you may recall, the nextAssassin’s Creedgame was expected to be a Viking-era adventure. Well, it looks that way!...
