One-upping 2020’sMicrosoft Flight Simulatorseemed pretty challenging, considering justhow advancedthatgame was back in the day, but the 2024 version ofMicrosoft Flight Simaims to do so with gusto. And, according to the latest news, it won’t even punish your PC for trying to run it. Notably, the developer Asobo has been showing off just how impressiveMicrosoft Flight Simulator 2024‘s full 3D landscapes, gameplay features, and content are from the very start. This implied an extremely hefty list of PC hardware requirements, but the official listings are somewhat humble....

Back in the early 2000s,Half-Lifemods were all the rage. You could spend days browsingMod DBin search of something to spice up your FPS experience. People were creating legitimate mods that you could simply download and play. The modern modding scene seems to have evolved, but it’s just not as widely popular as it once was. One of theHalf-Lifemods that really took off wasNatural Selection, a game of humans versus aliens with a base-building mechanic....

Clifford’s here to save the day [Mid-game spoiler warning forIco.If you haven’t played it yet I suggest you skip the next three paragraphs, past the first image so as not to ruin a great moment.] Everyone talks about how moving the endings of bothIcoandShadow of the Colossusare, along with a few other emotional scenes. While I do concede thatSOTCis the better overall game, the scene that really hit me like a sack of rice occurred about mid-way throughIcoat a broken bridge much like in this trailer forThe Last Guardian....

Siliconera is reporting thatNinja Gaiden 3will have an option for dual audio — that’s for both English and Japanese vocal tracks. As I’ve stated before, I’m a big fan of dual vocal options. Generally in games like this, I’ll switch the audio for multiple playthroughs, to help create a different experience. It’s by no means required for me to enjoy the game — it just adds a nice little touch....

For those of you who continue to askDet. David Mills-style questions like “what’s in the box?!” about theWii U, a few more details have trickled out since yesterday’sunveilingat Nintendo’s E3 press conference. In addition to the previously revealedhardware specifications, we now know that the console’s “proprietary high-density optical discs” will hold 25 GB of data — the same as a single-layer Blu-ray Disc, the optical medium of choice for the PlayStation 3....

Is it too much to ask? If you were looking to be able to mass-release Pokemon inScarlet & Violet, you may want to make other plans (read: do it one-by-one, or not capture as many in the first place). After trying all sorts of methods, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not in the game. You can’t bulk release Pokemon inScarlet & Violet, and it’s one of my many pet peeves with the generation As I talked about around its launch, one of the biggest shortcomings ofPokemon Scarlet & Violetis a lack of flexibility when it comes to quality of life features....

It’s that time of the year once more: the annual rumor of a potentialElder Scrolls 4: Oblivionremake has resurfaced, and I’m allowing myself to believe all over again. It has been almost two decades since Bethesda first releasedOblivion, and its janky charm stands the test of time in a unique way. If this particular rumor is to be believed, it might not be long before we get to experience it all over again....

You’ll never know, she doesn’t exist After months ofspeculation,leaks, and adisappointing ARG,Overwatch‘s Sombra wasfinally revealed to the worldyesterday. While Chriswent over how she plays, we’re still not sure who she is or where she came from… and apparently, that’s exactly how she wants it. The trailer never gives away Sombra’s true name, but shows how she began her career by making use of social hacking, selling police information to Los Muertos before going after larger targets....

Pippi Longstocking is making her shocking return to relevance with a new Nintendo DS game. She appears to be more terrifying than when she was last seen in the nineties, though. She now seems to look like the last thing very bad people might see when they die. I am led to believe this will be a prequel where we learn about the Pippi before she became the Longstocking. She’ll get beaten up, cut to bits, nearly drowned, and begin her adventure by murdering a would-be sex attacker....

Become a space soup mogul I feel comfortable going out on a limb to venture thatPixelJunk Inc.will be the best game about intergalactic soup empires for a long while. I’d have felt fine with that declaration before my hands-on time with the game at PAX Prime 2013 — the basis is a bit out there, after all. After being given a demo, I’d like to further suggest thatPixelJunk Inc.will be a damn fine game regardless of its premise....

The PlayStation Move came to North America on July 08, 2025. In that time, I think I’ve used the peripheral maybe six times. This is said as a person whosejobit is to own and use one of these things. When the controller was first introduced, Sony made a big deal about how it could create richer, deeper experiences than we’d gotten on the Wii. Coupled with Sony’s more “hardcore” focus, we seemed in line to receive the kind of motion-controlled games that had a real edge and innovation to them, rather than the waggling minigames the Wii has helped perpetuate so damn much....
