There was a time when many were calling for the iPad and its smaller siblings to get a dedicated gamepad. Plenty of otherwise good iOS games still emulate traditional console controls to varying degrees of success, but the masses seem to have cooled down on the notion of needing a full-blown peripheral. 60beat’s GamePad(iPad, iPhone 4 and 4S, 4th gen iPod Touch) is targeting those players who remain interested. This controller connects via headphone jack, of all places, and seems to work as advertised; problem is, onlyBugdom 2andAftermathwork with the device....

Pogo like it’s a ’95 Sublime concert While most video game fans of a certain age are aware ofMappy— the mouse-based platform that helped get Namco up and running — fewer people will be aware that the Five-Oh rodent actually bagged himself a sequel,Hopping Mappy, which is conveniently this week’s Arcade Archives release for Switch and PS4. Hitting the arcade scene in the post-crash season of 1986,Hopping Mappysees the Micro Police officer take to a pogo stick for another round of anthropomorphic crimebusting....

Plus, I already have that awesomeNinja Gaiden DSstylus sword too.What’s looking sw33t to you this week?...

No video because it might destroy the site again! Easily the biggest game of this week isGran Turismo 5 Prologue. Who knows whenever the hell the full and final version of the game will ever come out, but this should help the PS3 in the console wars. Too bad the game is priced at $40 for a smaller version of the game. I really hope they make it up to everyone that buyGT5 Pwhen the full game comes out in some way....

I felt that if I repeated a word three times in the headline, it would make the headline more exciting. I have failed. Anyway, here are a bunch of new screens for the pretty-yet-shallowNinja Blade, coming to the Xbox 360 via From Software. I used the word “via” because saying “from From Software” sounds stupid. This developer has an incredibly stupid name. This exclusive is very good looking, but as explained before, the gameplay is nothing but a big QTE-fest....

Also Just Dance 2017 The Wii U is shambling along with a new release this week inJust Dance 2017. It lives! You can also grabLost in Shadow, Demonic Karma Summoner, Ectoplaza,andSolitaireon Wii U — there’s a big demonic/occult theme this week it seems, and I’m including the hypnotic moves ofJust Dancein there. On 3DS you’ll findCorpse Party,Box Up, Butterfly: Inchworm Animation II,andPixelmaker. But the Switch! I wonder what will happen come March 2017 — if I’ll still be doing this every Thursday for the 3DS and Switch....

V2.12 will improve ‘software stability’ According to Sony, an “optional update” is coming soon to thePlayStation Vita. It’ll update the firmware into V2.12, and will “improve system software stability during the use of some features.” You know what? This may be a result of some new problems I’ve been having with my Vita — recently when I’ve been deleting games, the system locks up and I have to do a hard reset....

With high-speed combat and three races to master, thisBleach-inspired Roblox experience offers tons of fun for the fans of true challenge. Grab your katana and get ready for the adventure! Let me tell you a secret: I’m not that good at this game. However, with a bit of help fromPeroxidecodes, I acquired plenty of Product Essence, which I used to buy handy Rerolls....

Podtoid comes early for a Halloween special It’s a spooky Halloween episode! The gang has a proper scary time, talking about Nintendooooaaaah and the Wii-OOOOOH, followed by some lovely Halloween tips for Jonathan Holmes. He will definitely do them, especially all the ones involving poo. Unfortunately, the ghost at the feast arrives to spoil the Halloween fun, and Jim more or less derails the entire podcast to have an argument with a complete weirdo on Twitter....

Our favorite headset yet If you read this site regularly you’ll know that I’ve revieweda lotof headsets. A lot of gaming headsets, I should say. I’m not out to dump on any of them, but I want to start this review by saying that these Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headphones sound better than any of the phones I’ve reviewed for this site. Flat out. No question. To my ears, most gaming headsets have a similar sound formula....
