The English retailer brought bikini clad women, midgets, a hideous orange hummer and the cherry on top — Grainger Games’ very own brand of condoms. Because all of those things simply scream videogame journalism. Those things on their own are random and tasteless, but it was the actions of the retail chain’s representatives that crossed the line. They heckled speakers, flicked condoms into people’s food, interrupted the host and according to Xbox LIVE editor, Daniel Maher, “two of them attempted to physically and verbally intimidate [him]....

Becoming a better Spartan This morning, we got abrief overviewof what’s in store for the campaign ofHalo Infinite.

It’s been a while since we last saw the single-player campaign side ofHalo Infinite. The latest entry in theHaloseries recently held some multiplayer teststhat seemed promising.

Remember thathands-offLost Planet 3reveal demonstrationI saw last month? Capcom finally let me put my hands on it — that exact demo. It makes me wonder why they didn’t let me play it in the first place. Still, I was able to finally play through it last week, and as you’d imagine, I have a bit more to say about it. Lost Planet 3(PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)Developer: CapcomPublisher: CapcomReleases: 2013 Just as in ourearlier preview, this demo kicks off introducing Jim, a working-class guy that came to planet E....

Although a PAL release was pretty much immediately procured, us American folk have been waiting, salivating, and begging for a State-side release ofFire Emblem Awakening.FE:Ais the newest 3DS iteration of theFire Emblemseries, and the first ever Nintendo game that will be supporting paid DLC. Today, we yanks can sweat a little less, as Fireemblemawakening.com has evidently beenregistered by Nintendo of America. When you think about it, it’s entirely possible that they’re saving the fanfare for E3 —Fire Emblemhas always had a large fanbase in America, so there’s easily a market for it....

Pokémon Redis blatantly better thanPokémon Blueand if you disagree with me you are a spastic. Some of you may feel that one can’t successfully draw discrepancies between two games that are essentially the same, but those people are obviously stupid. I am a hardcore gamer, and that means I can draw huge lines betweenanythingand say that one thing is better if I own that thing. Following is a list of reasons that I have written thanks to my brain that will prove whyPokémon Redis better thanPokémon Blue, and why anybody who evenremotelylikes anything to do withPokémon Blueshould be considered a social Pariah and made to wash their dirty little mouths out with soap for saying they like playing such a rubbish game....

Arguably, the most challengingRyujin Industries questinStarfieldis Sabotage, primarily due to the game suggesting you only use stealth. you may go in blasting, but if you’re looking to complete Sabotage quietly, read on for the quest guide and rewards. I’m more than happy to admit that stealth inStarfieldis a bit of a crapshoot. What makes Sabotage such a terror is mostly due to inconsistent NPC behavior in regards to stealth. Sometimes, you can sneak within feet of enemies without their notice....

Beyond this, a small Secret Shop houses extra items you otherwise wouldn’t find in the main store. However, this location is difficult to find if you’re not actively looking for it. There’s even a chance you’ve walked by it dozens of times, unaware of its existence. Here’s how to find the Secret Shop inR....

At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, but as a person who runs a strength-build character, stamina is essential. That’s why it’s wise to locate the Two-Headed Turtle Talisman inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree— the best Talisman for stamina regeneration. Okay, that did sound like an awful lot like an infomercial, but if you’ve been hooked by the pitch then you should read on to know more. The Two-Headed Turtle Talisman inShadow of the Erdtreeis like its single-headed sibling in the baseElden Ring, except better....
