It’s now official. As the Atari 2600 was defined by its games featuring food and mazes, and the NES was defined by its 2D platformers, the Nintendo DS will forever be remembered as the system that had “all those f*cking games about dogs”. Sometimes it’s dogs made out oftea leaves. Other times it’s dogs ready to doserious battle. And of course, there are theDogz. It’s all proof positive that today’s developers just can’t go more than a month without announcing a new dog-centric DS game....

Releases 4.20 … seriously. Super Troopersthe original was left in a basket on our doorsteps all the way back in 2002. Probably around the same time some of you were delivered to your parents by giant, lice-ridden birds. In other words, it’s been a while. Butmerow,Broken Lizard, the comedy team behind it and fellow comedy classicBeerfestlook to have returned to their finest form, as Vermont’s finest. Check out the red band trailer (possibly NSFW) below!...

or A Walk in the Woods “ALL OUT WAR.” It’s the de facto tagline for the 8th season of AMC’sThe Walking Dead. It has been promoted as a convergence of wills and violence vis-a-vis the focal points of Rick and Negan. We’ve seen promo material since last year that touts the season as such, like the this: But being as we’re six episodes into the first half of season 8, with only two episodes remaining in 2017,ALL OUT WAR feels a bit misleading, predominantly because we’re still in the first day of action within said war (i....

A perfect Friday watch To say that “Mario Level 1-1” is iconic is an understatement. I think I’ve seen more content based off of it than any other individual stage in history. Whenever there’s a new “level creator” game, there’s a 1-1: it’s just the circle of life. But so many ofthose creationsare fantastic, as peopleslowly morph it into something of their own. That’s just what violin master andYouTuber teppei_senseidid with thisMarioviolin cover performance....

Fight a giant Kulu-Ya-Ku and get its head Despite the recent arrival ofDeviljho, I’ve been hesitant to dive back intoMonster Hunter World. I went from playing it every single day since launch to taking a now much-longer-than-expected break. The other day, I logged on with the full intent to fight the pickled monster. But once I got in, I fumbled with the controls and decided “not tonight.” I need to set aside enough time to find my groove and build up my muscle memory — if not for Deviljho, then for Capcom’snew round of event quests....

Something nope this way comes The last time we talked about the top-down shooter/survival horror hybridNoct, all we had to go on were the few snippets of gameplay that were stitched together in the prototype trailer. Based only on what I saw in that trailer,Noctstill managed to easily win me over with its unique visual style and hints ofTeleglitch-like gameplay. The bleak post-apocalyptic setting combined with top-down shooting gameplay looked like a perfect fit for someone like me....

I’m asking him to change his ways Dontnod Entertainment has announced that their episodic psychological thrillerTwin Mirrorhas been delayed until year, adding that, when it does finally arrive, it will be an Epic Games Store exclusive for its first year of release. Twin Mirror, which was first revealed back in 2018, tells the story of a reporter who visits his old hometown in West Virginia, only to find himself embroiled in a vicious murder investigation....

Not a lake, but an ocean of words Earlier this week,I published a pieceabout Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake’s presentation at Digital Dragons in Krakow, Poland. In it, I posit that Remedy’s next game, currently codenamedP7, will share values with other Remedy titles because that’s how the studio works. It’d be crazy to change now. My article was the abridged version, though. Of the transcript I had, I only ended up using a small fraction of Lake’s words....

Don’t stumble into the hardest gym first In a first for themainlinePokemonseries,Scarlet & Violetlets you challenge gym leaders in any order you want. You will unlock the ability to challenge gym leaders after visiting the academy and unlocking the Victory Road story. As great as it sounds to carve your own path against the gym leaders, there is a small caveat here.Gym leaders are still balanced like olderPokemongames, so some will have significantly higher level Pokemon than others....

Subscription free If you’ve lapsed inWorld of Warcraftfor whatever reason, even if you aren’t up to date in the latest expansion, you can jump back in for free starting right now through June 24 — beyond the typical“starter edition”conditions of level 20. Blizzard has flipped the switch to allow anyone to log in even if you don’t have an active subscription, which includes access to whatever expansion you own. Wouldn’t be amazing if there was a surge of logins from Vanilla-only players, who can only roam around capital cities and ask what’s changed in a decade?...
