While theAssassin’s Creedfranchise is known for its violent nature, there are occasional humoristic moments that add a whimsical flair.AC: Shadowsencompasses one of these bizarre situations where you’ll discover the Melon Lord Easter Egg. Here’s a guide on whether you should choose Suika or Makuwauri. Table of contents AC Shadows: Melon Lord Easter Egg location Before we dive into the decision process, you should know where to find the Melon Lord Easter Egg first....

I’d like a pair PlayStation’s holding apress briefingin South Korea right now. It’s hard to tell what’s happening. People are speaking in Japanese and the show’s being translated into Korean. I speak neither of those languages. The show kicked off with Sony talking some financials, although I could understand none of it. Then there was, like, a six-minute dubstep dance routine meant to make PlayStation VR look really cool. But, everything wasTRON-like and PlayStation VR definitely looks way better thanTRONaesthetics....

While theunholy marriage of Activision and Bungiewas met with terror and confusion by the vast majority of gamers this morning, at least one entity is rubbing its metaphorical hands together with glee. That entity would be Sony, now finally able to get its talons on a Bungie property. Sony isn’t shy about hyping up the prospect, either, declaring that putting a Bungie game on the PS3 would be akin to givingHalosteroids — essentially saying that the black box o’ Blu-ray will make Bungie’s games far better than they ever could be on the Xbox 360....

Next stretch goal is a ‘mystery object’ For the ambitious, crowd-funded space simStar Citizen, it took four months to shoot from$30million to$40 million. So $2.5 million a month. And in the last month and a half, it’s reached$43 million, showing no signs of slowing down. Are the same individuals throwing more money at it or does it keep attracting new backers at a remarkably consistent rate? All I know is that I’m in the wrong business....

Next year but not next-gen We have entered the Angel Block of the Opening Night Live programming. From an overly-long lore-heavy Blizzard animation to theWorld of Warcraftexpansion to a newWarhammergame. There are angels in the outfield and also in the video game stream. Focus Home’s newest isWarhammer Stormground(although it’s possible titledWarhammer: Age of Sigmar: Stormground). From the very vague trailer that was shown, we’re left to assume it’s about mechanical angels riding mechanical dragons....

Capcom has beamed us a couple of announcements, with the biggest being the official console announcement forStreet Fighter IV. Both the PS3 and 360 versions were pretty much a given, but the PC one took us by surprise. Well, not really; we’ve been hearing rumors about a PC version for awhile now. I guess actually seeing the words “Windows-based PC” direct from Capcom made it real. The other announcement lets us know thatLost Planet: Extreme Condition COLONIES EDITIONhas shipped to retailers....

It’s been a while The Elder Scrolls Onlineis about to dump a super lore-heavy expansion on us —Summerset.It takes us back to the Summerset Isles (and Artaeum), a place that hasn’t been touched in the games since the very first entry —Arena— in 1994. While it’s not quite as powerful of a launch as say, the iconic Morrowind, it’s still a pretty impactful zone if you’re anElder Scrollsfan. A new trailer below gives us another glimpse into the purple-hued area, as well as a peek at the upcoming conflict that will once again involve the Daedra....

We have here a behind-the-scenes video in which members of theTRON: Evolutionteam discuss the production of the game. They make a very specific effort to point out that they’re trying to converge the stories of the videogame with theTRON: Legacymovie due out later in the year. I think these sorts of cross-media things are good in theory, but then I rememberEnter the Matrixand notice how they’re saying a lot of the same stuff here as was said about that game....

It looks like there is a mod forRhythm Heaven Feverthat swaps the native graphics forMy Little Ponycharacters. That’s what the description of the above YouTube video says anyway. Does anyone out there want to follow those instructions and see if they can get this mod running? That could make for a wonderful evening for you and your like minded, pony loving pals. Below are an ass-load of otherMy Little Pony/Rhythm Heavenmash-ups, some old, some new (to me)....

God save Ringo and his Robot Army Britain, Britain, Britain! Over the years we’ve been known for a lot: tea, monocles, the Queen, imperialism, and at one point…video games.We had it all, from the Sinclair ZX Spectrum to Rockstar Games, Britain used to rule over the medium with her wrinkled fist. But in the words of the great Professor Elemental, “and sure enough, we rhubarb crumbled”. There’s been an influx of something so unspeakable, so terribly horrific my stiff upper lip trembles just at the thought of it:Americangames....

Your own personal year-in-review What did you get up to in 2019? It’s that time of year where people – and even their apps – are feeling nostalgic. Nintendo has a neat littleyear-in-review websitethat’ll recount your gaming adventures. The site covers your first-ever Nintendo Switch game (rememberSuper Bomberman R?), your most-played games of 2019, the total number of hours you’ve spent gaming, the total number of games you’ve played, the days with the highest playtime, and how many My Nintendo Gold Points you earned....

As announced on thePlayStation Blog,Tokyo Junglewill be getting four additional playable animals today, and I think there’s something here for everyone. Available for download at $0.99 each or bundled together for $2.49 are the crocodile, giraffe, kangaroo, and panda. Now when I say something for everyone, I just assume that you all love pandas, as you rightfully should. I went into the game skeptical about everythingexcept for the premise— which immediately seemed hilarious, stupid, and great — but no, the people who have been talking it up are on to something....

Apparently it was a mistake Found by some astute folks at NeoGAF, a skincare company over in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has adapted a very peculiar logo that you don’t typically associate with healthy skin — the Umbrella Corporation symbol. Plastered all over their site with happy employees and patients, the symbol isn’t just a spinoff or unique take on the fake evil organization, but an exact replica, as the coloring is a 1:1 match....
