Oh, and some new modes and stuff I’m pretty sure I was here exactly a year ago, telling you about just how excited I was thatAnarchy Reignswas coming in January. Well, it didn’t exactly turn out that way, and for a majority of this year the release of the game was hanging in limbo. Guys, it’sfinallyhappening. Like, for real this time, I promise.Anarchy Reignsis coming in January. A sure sign of this is that Sega has announced the exclusive pre-order bonuses that GameStop will be offering....

Here’s something you didn’t know you needed, but clearly you do — aSplatterhouseTerror Mask statue. RetailerGameStopwould be more than happy to give you one, provided you pre-order the upcoming game, which is out in stores just in time for Halloween. The 6-inch statue sits on a black base which reads in “Splatterhouse.” You know, so a guest who come by and see it on your shelf won’t think it’s the front of your mom’s skull....

Another PlayStation machine is about to launch, and with it comes anotherRidge Racer, of course. The new installment for PlayStation Vita is somewhat of an oddity. I can’t remember a time when my opinion of a game had ever been influenced by the business model used to release it. Already out in Japan, and already taking plenty of heat in the West,Ridge Racerfor Vita is a bare bones experience out of the box, as most of its content is planned to be released later on via download....

Dual hammer down Even if you don’t playOverwatchyou’ve probably seen at least 100 “Play of the Game” clips. They’re everywhere, and you basically couldn’t escape them at launch as everyone and their grandmother uploaded that one time they earned it. But now with the Overwatch League and the rise of the pro scene, we’re seeing more amazing plays that are worth sharing — and that’s just what Fissure did this week....

You know, I’ve been looking atArmy of Two: The 40th Dayfor about six months now. After an initialpreview, followed by another hands-offopportunity at E3, as well as a solid play through of the first level of thePSP version, I’ve been able to get a pretty good idea of whatArmy of Two: The 40th Dayis going to offer. Just, you know, I haven’t had a chance to play the damn thing....

’80s-flavored short film features console light guns Redshirt Films have taken the nostalgia train to retroville with this homage to ’80s senseless action flicks. The plot is minimal, the dialogue sparse, but the action is actually pretty decent, with every gun coming from the systems of yore. The NES Zapper, PSOne GunCom, Sega Menacer, and of course SNES Super Scope Six all take center stage in this goofy action piece. It’s as ifFar Cry 3: Blood Dragonhad a weird drunken orgy with every pistol peripheral and direct-to-video ’80s action flick, and gave birth to the illegitimate live-action film baby of Uwe Boll’s wet dreams....

The problem withSaints Row 2is that it’s always going to be compared toGrand Theft Auto IV. you’re able to hardly blame people for doing so, since the originalSaints Rowwas a shameless copy of theGTAseries in many respects, but the sequel looks to be taking open-world crime games in a very different direction from Rockstar, and THQwants people to be reminded. “We have a very differentiated product in this open-world genre,” says THQ chief executive Brian Farrell....

I remember Blast Processing With theGenesis Miniset to release in roughly six weeks, Sega is gearing up a new promotional campaign to garner awareness for the device. Shifting the focus towards the fans, the house ofSonicis asking gamers to share their memories of the little console that could and potentially wind up in a trailer for the micro-console. It’s a neat incentive to be immortalized alongside Sega for eternity. To enter, justhead on over to this siteand submit a recording of yourself explaining your favorite memory of the console....

‘It allows us to push the edge of risky combat’ FromSoftware’s upcomingSekiro: Shadows Die Twicefeatures a pretty notable change from theDark Soulsseries. Death won’t see you reset at a bonfire, but rather resurrect on the spot to continue the battle. A lot of fans were wondering if this was a change meant to ease the difficulty ofSekiroand differentiate it from itsSoulsinspirations, but apparently not. According to game director Hidetaka Miyazakiin an interviewwith the PlayStation Blog,this new system is actually there to push the difficulty further....

It’s not my wallet Good news for those of you who can speak fluent nihongo. In the Japanese Direct yesterday, Nintendo announced that theSherlock Holmes-inspiredThe Great Ace Attorney 2will launch in Japan on June 01, 2025. Of course, you’d need a Japanese 3DS to even play it. More information on the game will be revealed at the April 17 for the 15th anniversary of the series. Copyright issues surrounding the inclusion of Sherlock Holmes himself are often cited as the main reason we still haven’t seen a localization of the first game....

Tracking the number of new releases on Steam,Gamasutrahas learned that more titles released on the platform so far this year than all of last year. Steam Greenlight and Early Access will do that, yeah....

Gotta Go Cash The past weekend saw Paramount’sSonic the Hedgehog 2launch in numerous major territories, one week ahead of its North American premiere — and already, the cinematic sequel is looking to be a smashing success, having already raked in over $25 million USD box office in its first weekend on the big screen.
