MEME-ception SEGA Forever keeps chugging along with monthly game updates and I keep coming up with weird ways to memeify my headlines. Has anyone actually shopped for an axe whileplayingGolden Axe? Anyway, the next game coming to Sega’s ever expanding collection of free titles isSpace Harrier II, available today. Sequel to the arcade classic, this game originally came as the pack-in title for when the Genesis/Mega Drive launched in the US and Japan....

Umbran … it’s Umbran The sheer spectacle ofBayonetta 2has me on board for this Wii U exclusive, and that’s to say nothing of the hair.Oh, that magnificent hair. It’s everywhere! It was getting late in our PAX Prime 2013 journey when Hamza and Jim recorded their thoughts on the new Platinum Games title, as you can probably tell, which is why their attempts to talk about the game resulted in strange words being uttered....

Twin-stick shooting with Ren & Stimpy style While visiting Headup Games’ booth at PAX East this weekend, the first thing about their new titleDead End Jobwas its very iconic art style. If a game looks likeThe Ren & Stimpy Show, then it already has my attention. To be completely honest I think part of me mentally groans every time I think about playing yet another roguelike game, but fortunatelyDead End Jobhas enough style and humor to pique my interest....

Kindles are fantastic e-readers that allow you to achieve several goals within the same small piece of technology. I started using an ancient one many years ago and still love it, but they’ve come a long way since the first one was released in 2007. With a Kindle, any Kindle, you can have hundreds, maybe even thousands of books in a single sleek device. It means you no longer need to cart kilograms of books with you on holiday or have that 1,000-page novel taking up space in your bag during your commute....

Find the mount that works for you Minecraft Legendsmay be a strategy game, but you’ll still find cool mounts to uncover in both the Campaign and Versus modes.You will have to work to unlock them, but once you find any mount, it’s yours for the duration of the game. That said, there are four distinct mounts inMinecraft Legends. Each of these can be given unique skins, but their abilities will remain the same....

Digital strikes again Throughout 2015 you may remember me touching on the concept of game preservation often. Over the years, as the digital arena slowly increases its grasp on physical media, I’ve gotten increasingly worried. I’m not opposed to a digital future in theory (I prefer it in some cases, like shooters, where I can just load it up instantly for a few minutes at a time), but the fact that games can outright disappear from marketplaces is troubling....

Plus, vague details about new projects We’re due a pair ofControlexpansions in 2020, but that might not be the extent to which we see the game supported in the future. A curious line fromRemedy Entertainment’s 2019 fiscal reportsuggests that it might see a wider release on other systems. Speaking to future sales prospects, Remedy says “Control‘s high quality, uniqueness and technical innovation provide opportunities to bring the game to new platforms....

I’m a big fan of behind-the-scenes trailers. Often I’d prefer a video that offers a window into the developer’s world, like this one forShoot Many Robots, to a run-of-the-mill vignette. Demiurge Studios decided to let us in on their rendering secrets, and it’s pretty neat! Conrad had alreadysold meon the game last March, but we’ll be getting another peek at it this week before its eventual 2012 release. I just hope some of those render options are available in-game!...

Still no Sandal, though PC gamers who’ve gone the past few months without checking outDragon Age: Inquisitionbecause the price of admission felt too high get an extra nudge today via Green Man Gaming. The UK-based digital retailer slashed prices on BioWare’s latestRPG romp by 33%, sweetening the pot further by allowing its typical 23% coupon to stack on the deal. The end result is a healthy 46% off, leaving you paying only $31....

You can add one of the best cards ofEA FC 24to your squad by completing the Kylian Mbappe TOTT SBC, which is now live in Ultimate Team. Mbappe didn’t get a 99-rated version as part of FUTTIES, but his TOTT card is immensely meta. In my book, it ranks every other striker item (yes, even the 99-rated Pele and Eusebio). If you haven’t been lucky enough to get him from packs, the card could be yours via the SBC....

EA FC 25players can complete a new Mystery League objective in Ultimate Team as part of the eChampions League finals campaign for unique squad rewards.

This guide will provide you with all the required information....
