Cadence of Hyrule gets special Switch achievements, beat rumble controller toggle

I’m still playing this, doing random runs Cadence of Hyruleburst onto the scene in June and has been kind of low key beloved since then. This latest patch falls in line with the status quo of post-launch support as it doesn’t have a ton of Earth-shattering additions, but it gets the job done.

Dead Space 3 not abandoning its formula

Dead Space 3is one of my more anticipated sequels of the year, but I wasn’t fortunate enough to get to see it at E3 this year.

In addition to having an absolutely killer name, Ellana reassures fans of the franchise that the action-oriented approach of the show demo doesn’t mean they’re throwing out elements which made the first two games so appealing....

The Android developer who releaseda game unwittingly starring Yoshimay have been able to cover his ass —albeit barely— but there is no way in hell that the mastermind behindKrazy Kong – Race in Jungle Templecould pull the same “ignorance” card.
