The definitive list As a site, we awarded our games of the year last month as a whole unit. Those are official; we came to them through a democratic process taking votes from managers, editors, and contributors. Sometimes democracy gets stuff wrong. Our overallGame of the Year went toBloodborne, but you won’t find that on my list. Nor will you findThe Witcher 3,Metal Gear Solid V, or any of their ilk, because I didn’t play those games....

‘Leak’ before official reveal As wasannounced last week, Bungie was set to reveal the next expansion toDestiny 2in a few days. Beaten to the punchby data miners digging through the PC version, the latest DLC has been revealed to be calledShadowkeepand will take players back to the moon. The information was included in today’s massive update, which is probably not how Bungie saw this going down. An official description ofShadowkeepwas found that reads, “The next chapter in theDestinyexperience arrives this fall as terrifying shadows descend upon a forgotten moon....

Whatever happened to Marissa Marcel? That’s what you’re trying so desperately to figure out. There’s something tugging at you to keep pressing on through the footage. Perhaps it’s morbid curiosity, that strange desire to peel back the curtain and see the darkness behind that enchanting model-turned-lead-actress. Three unreleased films, each starring the same ageless woman… something’s not adding up. From the mind of Sam Barlow (Her StoryandTelling Lies), the mysterious and completely captivating realm ofIMMORTALITYis unlike anything I’ve ever experienced....

My main concern withMedal of Honor‘s multiplayer— which is being developed by DICE, in case you hadn’t heard — is that it’ll be too similar to a game already present in many of our homes:Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to get it (and likely love it, too), but I worry about its longevity for someone like me who has played the ever-loving heck out ofBad Company 2and similar multiplayer-centric war shooters....

So here’s how it works: a PC game is released, and it’s followed by a few expansions, both of which sell well enough. Sales slow down a bit, so what’s a publisher to do? Release a compilation featuring the original game and at least one expansion, slapping the word “Deluxe” on the box! That’s what Electronic Arts is doing this September, when it releasesThe Sims 3 Deluxefor PC and Mac. The box includes the originalThe Sims 3, along withThe Sims 3 Ambitionsexpansion pack....

As of today, you can download the “EDF Battle Armor Weapons Pack” and the “EDF Jet Armor Weapons Pack” forEarth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. These were previously offered as pre-order incentives and can be bought for $3 (or 240 Microsoft Points) each on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, respectively. You can complain about it, sure, but I’d rather people have the option to get this stuff post-release than not at all....

Joey Cuellar out as CEO Following troubling accusations made against Joey “MrWizard” Cuellar, one of the organizers of the annual Evo fighting game tournament, the organizers of the event announced they are canceling Evo 2020.

The Imperial Combat Revue deserves better Fuck it. What if ’90s anime RPG franchiseSakura Warscrossed over with military battle royale mobile titlePUBG? It appears that question was asked sometime, somewhere, around some table in some developer’s office. Weirder yet, someone else agreed to it, and thus it is about to become a reality. Yes,PUBG Mobile— the handheld spin-off to Bluepoint Games’ mega-popular shooterPlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds— has announced that an upcoming in-game event will feature paid DLC content based onSakura Wars, Sega’s cult RPG franchise that blew up in the mid/late ’90s, before making something of a mainstream comeback earlier in 2020....
