Nope, it’s not two 20G PlayStation 3 models, it’s the price of some guy on Craigslist offering his services as a bodyguard. Imagine, you’re in line, and some punk 12 year old cuts in front of you after you’ve waited for 38 hours. What happens next? Check the picture above. Big Brotha’ Willie stands 6’7″ and can “hurl a 160lb body ten feet off the curb.” Apparently the $1,000 also covers two to three hours of friendship....
And why have I been asking this question for over 15 years? 15 years ago today, Square Enix releasedFinal Fantasy XIfor the PlayStation 2 in North America. It was quite the unorthodox release for its time. In order to playFFXIon the PS2 (before the PS2 servers shut down), you had to connect a network adapter (sold separately)andan external hard drive to the console’s expansion bay. Just take a look: FFXI as a game already resisted the notion of on-boarding players, and combined with the confusing PlayOnline set-up and individual file downloads (that it still uses), the PS2 release posed yet another admittedly surmountable task before being able to play....
Codenamed ‘Parkside’ BioShockis one of 2K Games’ most important properties, but there hasn’t been much rumbling about where the series will go next. The most recent installment was 2013’sBioShock Infinite; a year after its release, leadBioShockstudioIrrational Games was more or less shut down. Since then, there have been some re-releases and remasters for current-generation consoles, but nothing substantial in the way of a new game. That doesn’t meanBioShockis done. In a lengthy report on the state ofMafia IIIdeveloper Hangar 13,Kotakuhas uncovered the existence of a “top secret”BioShockproject — and it’s happening in Novato, California in the building next to Hangar 13....
In theory,Eat Led: The Return of Matt Hazardwas my kind of game. I love good self-referential humor and inside jokes in my videogames, but only if the gameplay is executed well.Half-Minute Hero? Fantastic on both accounts.Eat Led? Ehh, not so much.That’s why I have some faith in the upcoming PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade gameMatt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond— even if the game plays poorly, as a side-scrolling shooter, it’ll still be better off thanEat Ledwas in a massive sea of generic first- and third-person shooters....

‘It just doesn’t work” Hacking is a big problem plaguingPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsright now, and much of the playerbase is blaming it on Chinese players. For months they’ve been asking the game’s developers to region lock Chinese users, which they say will fix the issue in one fell swoop. Others contend that locking out an entire region is a bad idea, and the creator agrees with them. After a long period of silence, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene shared his thoughts on the matter with USGamer, explaining that “it just doesn’t work....
What. In. The.Hell?Angry Birds was downloaded 6.5 million times on Christmas Day? It’s like every device given at Christmas was gifted solely for use with Rovio’s silly game. This massive one-day figure includes both free and paid downloads, and all versions of the game.

Game as a service AlthoughApex Legendsisn’t quite the streaming-chart-destroyer it once was (overtaking League of Legends at one point), it’s still very regularly found on the top 10 Twitch stream list. EA is riding that gamble all the way to the bank, as it remains one of the more popular battle royale titles in a sea of games that were dragged under the tide. Director Chad Grenier thinks it’s here to stay too, noting that the game could even evolve to become more than just a battle royale title....

One of the new weapons added withProtea Prime’srelease is a good weapon to make a build for, provided you like the feel of the original variant....
Starfield? Elder Scrolls? Bethesda’s making the cross-country trip from Maryland to Los Angeles this summer. Of course! E3 ensures that everyone who’s anyone gets to LA for the video games.

Key words here are ‘would have been’ An installment in theBioShockseries for the PlayStation Vita may be one of Ken Levine’s only wishes for the franchise that will go unfulfilled. Levine’s longing for one of his signature games on the handheld device is well-documented, and he’s taken toTwitterto elaborate on the concept he had in mind. According to Levine, theBioShocktitle on Vita that he wanted to make would have been “aFinal Fantasy Tacticsstyle thing set in pre-fall Rapture....
