Welcome to die, Destructettes! We’ve got another fine and dandy episode of our twi-weekly cavalcade of awesome terror for you to bat your little eyelashes at. This is the most ridiculous introduction I’ve written to one of these posts yet. Today’s episode starts with some thrilling releases of the week, from Nick “TeeNick” Chester, and then news of Insomniac Games taking theirfirst foray into Facebookery. Following this, I mutter a bunch of incoherent threats about face-punching over Australia’sban ofMortal Kombat....

Hideouts is a personal, customizable home that you’re able to have inPath of Exile 2. It is similar to a private home and can help you in organizing resources, crafting, and more. However, you can’t unlock the Hideout right away, as you have to unlock the Atlas of Worlds. To help you with that, here is a comprehensive guide on how you can access the Hideout inPath of Exile 2....

On that note, dang this game has a lot of DLC $125? Come again?! While it’s true that Atlus is offering an Ultimate Edition ofPersona 5onPlayStation Network, it’s essentially just a DLC bundling for the sake of convenience; this isn’t equivalent to those “game of the year” editions we see pop up after a notable release has been sitting on store shelves for a while. Persona 5: Ultimate Edition, which is $125 on PS4 and $115 on PS3, includes:...

It’s the only explanation that makes sense If you’ve ever played aPokémongame, you’d realize that some of the critters possess rather unbelievable abilities beyond comprehension. I’m not talking about just the legendary Pokémon but also the run-of-the-mill creatures that are analogous to real-world animals. Of course, we don’t actuallyseemany of these abilities in practice. All this information comes straight from the Pokédex, which claims thatMetagrossis smarter than a supercomputer,Pidgeotflies at Mach 2 speeds,Magikarp— friggin’Magikarp— can leap over a mountain, and so on....

Jungle Boogie Man Predatoris a movie worth watching 30 times in two months. It’s an all-world physique lineup — Weathers and Jesse “The Body” Ventura and probably Arnold too. It’s important to pack on mass.Much better than, say,Transporter 2. Ghost Recon Wildlandsjust packed on mass, so to speak. Ubisoft confirmedwhat we had already suspected: Predator is coming to terrorize the jungles ofWildlands. Starting tomorrow, players are challenged to kill the Predator in a special free hunt event that runs through early January....

The Retro StudiosMetroidTwitter-verse is heating up, asthe company just changed their header imageto a newMetroidpicture. The last tweet was January 27, asking for a tools engineer and a technology engineer, but the header image was recently swapped. So this seems like nothing, but a lot of people are excited over this very small banner change that was done without any sort of announcement. It’s really one of the first instances of acknowledgingMetroid Prime 4in years, outside of indirect recruiting links andthat apology video three years ago....

When I reviewedGratuitous Space Battleslast year I remarked that, despite its name, the game’s design was actually quite lean and focused, providing a unique, hands-off approach to real-time strategy, placing emphasis on ship design and preparation rather than unit micromanagement, all dedicated to one thing, and one thing only: giving players a taste of vast, thrilling slugfests between metal death-machines sailing upon the sea of stars. And it succeeded quite poetically, propelled by by crisp visuals and a sharp, self-aware sense of humor....

Yesterday, we revealed a curious new Wii title known asDeadly Creatures, a game that promises to weave a compelling story around an armored scorpion and “stealthy” tarantula. It also promises the best looking graphics yet seen on the Wii, and judging from the screenshots … well, they’re almost living up to it. These early screens are actually not half bad, and I guess this means publisher THQ is serious about bringing the game to players who have long since dreamed of using a venomous arachnid to blow up a gas station....

You all know me, I’m Reverse Giraffe Today, at the Halo Regional World Championships, Microsoft, 343, and Iron Galaxy announced thatHalo‘s beloved Arbiter will be arriving as downloadable content, in the vein of Rash fromBattletoads. Unfortunately, from what I can hear, Keith David’s delightful voice is nowhere to be found. Maybe he’s off doing anotherRick and Mortyguest voice? 2013’sKiller Instinctreboot is one of the great launch games — admittedly a low bar, but the fact remains true nonetheless....

Give us the launch codes I woke up this morning thinking “Add aCall of Dutyreveal to the docket today,” just one more thing to cover among an already-busy schedule. Last week,Activision sent mystery cratestoCall of Dutymedia, surely leading to a creative and synchronized worldwide reveal. Not quite. Now that the crates are open, we know their contents: An old-ass projector and 10 slides. While we try to figure out how to make the slides not appear ~blurry~, we put them up against white light to see it a bit closer....
