That honor goes to the recently announcedDead Island: Retro Rampage— a 16-bit romp about rescuing your cat and recovering your RV. Alright then.

Earlier this afternoon Take-Two announced that it settled a class action suit brought against them because of the crude, but inaccessible content for a cool twenty million dollars. “Hot Coffee” was a sex mini-game originally included on theSan Andreasdisc.

Notably, your Mastery Rank is a total summary of all the items you’ve collected and ranked up over the course of yourWarframecareer, with a few extra tidbits thrown in for good measure. Mastery is, as such, not necessarily a showcase of skill on its own, but it sure as heck counts for bragging rights for the time and effort a player has put into the game....
