Spring 2020 I’m pretty intrigued byNinjala. Sure it’s from GungHo, one of the current kings of microtransactions; so it might not be the most friendly game in the end. But there’s something about the teaser that dropped earlier this year that really hooked me. There’s a huge brawler void right now and I’m getting distinct Platinum vibes from this with the “ninjas in a cityscape” theme.Anarchy Reignsanyone? Well it’s still on the way, as GungHo Online has confirmed with publication Nikkei that it’s on track for a spring 2020 release....

Halcyon awaits brave suckers We’re less than two months out from the release of Obsidian’s latest RPGThe Outer Worldsand to continue building hype towards launch, a trailer highlighting locales and weapons has been released. Sprinkled throughout the trailer are bits of the cynical humor that we’ve come to know and love from Obsidian as well as a few job-class previews.

Regulators need to approve the sale still Ever since the morning where Microsoft dropped a bigger bombshell than the nukes inFallout‘s lore, everyone has made a singular sweeping statement:Xbox acquired Bethesda. That’s not technically true yet. Microsoft and ZeniMax have completed negotiations and agreed upon terms.

Of all of the advances in modern technology for gaming, one of the most interesting to me is a platform’s ability to track the amount of hours you’ve played. This is both a blessing and a horror story, because it’s cool to look at sometimes and boast “look how much I played this game I love,” but the other side of the coin is the realization of “wow, look how much time I actually spent on this video game....
