Konami’s working on a quick fix Those Diamond Dogs can be a bunch of doggone dirty scoundrels. Konami learned that the hard way with its recently-launchedPC betaforMetal Gear Online. The publisher was forced to temporarily take the game offline because some players found an exploit that affects Konami’s bottom line. On theMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainSteam discussion page, a developer communicated news that the beta was being momentarily pulled....

Love it I know I talked at length recently about howwe’ve basically seen it allwhen it comes toFinal Fantasy XV, but of course, another video comes along and gets me all excited again. This is another IGN first, which details the day and night cycle. It’s a short little clip focusing in on theHammerheadgas station you’ve witnessed many times before, but I really like seeing the details like the swaying shrubbery, the waving flags, and the cars going by....

MARTY Splatoonwants to know: do you preferThe FlintstonesorThe Jetsons? Well, not really. They want to know what you would do if you could travel through time. Would you go backward or forward? I’d probably go back and tell little Zack to exercise daily, and then go back every week and punch him until he had abs. What about you? Would you travel back to fix some error you made? Or would you go forward to play with the Oculus Rift when it’s actually affordable?...

It’s safe to say that Pickpocket Junction was the most unique game at E3 2012. An odd cross between pickpocketing simulator and freeze tag, Pickpocket Junction was one of the few games at the show that didn’t require any electronic components. One of the developers of the game, Myles Nye stopped running the game long enough for us to figure out what caused this brilliantly baffling game.

Another extraterrestrial being makes its debut inDAN DA DAN, and it has certainly made waves, literally. The Serpoians still haven’t given up on taking Okarun’s banana organ, and they’ve brought some help this time around. One is the mantis shrimp alien and the other is the Nessie. Since everyone knows about the Nessie, let’s talk about the mantis shrimp alien instead. Just likeTurbo GrannyorAcrobatic Silky, this alien follows a certain real-world lore, specifically that of the Dover Demon....

Update:Lords of the FallenReview Lords of the Fallenis brutal. I mean like,reallybrutal. I fully intended to have beaten the game and written a full review in time for release. But according to arecent tweetby the developers, there are 30 bosses in total. Which means I have…uhh…afewmoreto go. And for the record, I’m no Soulslike newbie. I’ve Platinumed most games in the series, and at least beaten those I haven’t. But like I said,Lords of the Fallenis hard....

Someone else leaked your passwords, we swear So, if you have a lot of friends who playGrand Theft Auto Von PC, or spend a lot of time reading about the game on forums, you may have noticed that over the last few days a lot of people have been reporting their accounts being accessed by people other than their owners. Heists on a grand scale are being pulled off as large numbers of people are finding their Rockstar Social accounts completely overtaken by malicious evildoers....

Maybe you can only die once Sekiro: Shadows Die Twiceis a weird one. From Software has built up their Dark Souls cachet so much that people are basically expecting more Souls out of them when it comes to releasing anything action related. Me? I’ve secretly been waiting for moreTenchufollow-ups in the same vein asShinobidoandTwin Souls. My expectations are in check. This new trailer from TGS also does a great job of assuaging any fears I have....

The game, that is. Not the TV show Frogwares will be releasing a newSherlock Holmesgame in 2016. This will be the eighth “adventure-investigation” Sherlock game developed by Frogwares and follows last year’s so-cheesy-it’s-amazingSherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments. As yet, we know little beyond the fact that it’ll release sometime in 2016, and will once again be published by the fittingly entitled Bigben Interactive (even though it’s based in France. Which is weird)....
