Cooperative mayhem in Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Not quite stealthy, but still fun In a recent hands-on withSplinter Cell: Blacklist, I had a chance to see exactly whatourothereditorshave been excited about regarding both the game’s single- and multiplayer components. I spent a little time with a couple of single-player missions set primarily in the Middle East in broad daylight, and then jumped into a few Spies vs. Mercs rounds in a Hacker’s Den before finishing out with a co-op mission with another journalist through Eastern Iraq....

Deathloop and Grounded lead the charge for Xbox Game Pass in September

Also,Slime Rancher 2 The Xbox Game Pass list for Septemberhas been published by Microsoft, and there’s a few really great additions this month. Deathloopis the clear-cut big one here, given that it was previously a PlayStation exclusive, and a punt for a lot of folks.

Did you know there’s a Chain Chomp in Hyrule Warriors?

In before Bow-Wow I’m on track to put more time intoHyrule Warriorsthan any other videogame in 2014. This is coming from someone who has spent, at most, half an hour with Omega Force’s past titles.

It helps that this is one seriously content-dense game; it’s easy to rack up the hours once you’re committed to Adventure Mode....
