He’s half right Devil’s Thirdwas hyped for years, but after THQ went bye bye, its future was uncertain. But that was back when Nintendo was trying anything and everything to get people interested in the Wii U, so they snatched it up. In hindsight, Itagaki thinks that might have been a bad idea given the poor reception and sales. To be fair, he starts off his statement with a degree of respect before getting into what he believes is the core issue: “I generally don’t like to badmouth people and I have nothing but appreciation toward Nintendo for releasingDevil’s Third....

Christmas in August Kentucky Route Zerodeveloper Cardboard Computer has taken to its Twitter account to address the existence of the forthcoming Act IV. The developer is adamant that the game has not been abandoned, even though no concrete release date has been announced. So, for total clarity: KRZ Act 4 is not abandoned, canceled, a “scam,” a performance art piece(?), or anything else but a work-in-progress. — cardboard computer (@cardboardcompy)Jul 23, 2025...

And upgrading so you can dismember some more Just a few weeks agoI made sure people understood thatSurge 2wasnotactually a follow-up to the popular sugary energy soda (does marketing use that term, if not they should) Surge, but a sequel to the 2017 action-RPGThe Surge.

Think world exploration like Zelda with fights in the style of a fighting game A couple of weeks ago I wroteup this little storyasking for CI Games to show us some real gameplay footage ofLords of the Fallen. Well, there’s still no footage but at the very least I got to see the game in action earlier this week in person and boy was I impressed. Visually the game looks like it’s truly taking advantage of the new gaming hardware....

So the accessory is $40 in the bundle I’m probably one of the few that wants to check outPokemon: Let’s Go Eevee & Pikachu. It looks really cute, and I love that you may ride Onix, chill with HD looking Pokemon, and catch ‘mons with a friend by breaking off a piece of that Joy-Con.

This new six-minute-long trailer will give you a real good idea as to why. Working with each member of theSuper Time Force(Jef Leppard is my favourite) is the only way you’re going to get through each level....
