It’s been about a year since the first time I sawBorderlands. Taking place at some quirky bar in the famous Haight district in San Francisco, the oddness of the place fit the game, and I wasn’t expecting much. At that point I had not paid much attention to the title, and speculation about the game was that it was going to fail in the midst of a saturated holiday market, so no one seemed initially exuberant about the game....
The First Descendantfeels like a callback to the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. There are hordes of enemies to defeat with your friends as you level up your character and guns. You’re eliminating many surrounding enemies and protecting points of interest. For some folks, that might sound great! As for me, I went back to my bed and fell asleep (literally) after playing an hour or two ofThe First Descendant.I’m over it....
Because five straight hours of Peppa Pig can drive any man to the depths of insanity I’m creeping into my late twenties, which means a lot of the people in my social circles are getting married and deciding to have children. Instead ofbuying sarcastic t-shirtsabout how I am very much not about that life right now, while secretly munching through my third packet ofFarley’s Rusks, I am actually quite stoked to become an auntie figure, or perhaps even a godmother sometime in the future....

Sonic Superstarsincludesfour playable characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose. But that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up as other characters from the series, oh no. You can playSonic Superstarsas the penultimate boss ofSonic the Hedgehog 2, Mecha Sonic, but there’s a bit of a catch: You have to spend more than just some shiny gold Medals. You can only play as Mecha Sonic inSonic Superstarsif you purchase it for use in the in-game Battle Mode....
PixelJunk Monsters 2is a divisive sequel to a modern-day tower-defense classic. That’s arguably too reductive a stance — I’m sure there are players who genuinely dig the new zoomed-in 3D style, with minor caveats — but it’s always been tough for me to think aboutPixelJunk Monsters2without unfavorably stacking it up against the first game. When Ireviewedthe sequel in 2018, I struggled with a lot of nagging thoughts that otherPixelJunkfans are quick to mention....
Twisted Metaldirector David Jaffe would rather not have an online pass inTwisted Metal, declaring that any lost sales due to used games would be acceptable if it generated new fans. He did, however, admit that it’s ultimately up to Sony. “Only because we have such a mountain to climb in terms of gaining people’s good faith, especially in Europe, and really letting people know that this is a title that’s worth getting excited about,” he said....
September 3 through September 11 A Clefairy distribution is on the way, and thankfully this time I don’t have to add the caveat of “but it’s justSwordandShield.” I do, however, have to note this is Japan-only! The reasoning? Well,you need to actually go to a Pokemon Center in Japan to snag a serial code. The distribution event is “nationwide,” and will run from September 3 through September 11, close of business Sunday....

Larian Studios, developers of the long-awaited andjust-longBaldur’s Gate 3, have unveiled the trailer for the villainous Orin the Red. She’s a master shapeshifter and one-third of a triumvirate of main villains that players will have to deal with in the game. Orin will create many challenges for players as she has the ability to shapeshift into any person in the world. This means we probably won’t get the chance to trustanyNPC we come across in the game, or perhaps even worse....
