A cat goes to Hell and meets Satan, you won’t believe what happens next Spooky Poo’s Happy Hellrecently launched onKickstarterhoping to get funded for PC, with stretch goals for Wii U and PS4. This romp through hell is a call back to N64 platformers, with music and graphics clearly inspired by some classic cartoons. You play as Spooky Poo, a cat with a phallic nose who strikes a deal with the devil to grant his wish if he can descend the nine levels of hell, while choosing whether or not to sell his souls for an edge in the game....

Retreat to a quieter life, now with a Game Pass sub Announced during today’s ID@Xbox stream, farming simStardew Valleyis going on the Game Pass lineup later this fall. So if anyone out there has seriously not given it a try yet, you’re running out of excuses. WhileStardew Valleyhas already been available on platforms like PC (via Steam) and Xbox One, this will make the farming life simulator available to everyone subbed to Game Pass....

Today is officially Starfield Day. Those who have been paying even the slightest bit of attention will have seen the sheer amount of mods that have been coming out even before Bethesda’s new game was properly released. Now there’s one available that’s very much for those who don’t wantthe grind. Over onNexus Mods, user ADITYAPAT86 has created and uploaded a very simple script forStarfieldthat saves all that levelling-up nonsense. By installing this mod, you’ll be granted every single perk in the game, as well as having your character’s level set to 328....

These prices sure are getting low I always forget that the holiday Steam sale goes a few days into January. So far, I’ve held strong, only buyingRisk of Rain(which was the best decision I’ve made in a good long while; thanks for the peer pressure, Conrad).Today’s featured games are familiar, but some of the prices are getting low to the point of absurdity. I’m looking at you,BastionandHotline Miami. Daily deals: The flash sales right now are:Bastion($2....

You aren’t crazy If you’re still playingThe Division, you may have run across some pesky bugs, which have permeated throughout the game at this point. One big one includes bugged dailies, which don’t even appear for some players. For those who aren’t aware, “dailies” are daily quests for MMOs and MMO-like games that players can repeat on a timer that usually provide endgame rewards, or reputation/tokens that work towards equivalent items....

More stability and a better UI are the focus As promised, Gearbox just recently pushed a post-Thanksgiving update out toBorderlands 3that fixed a number of lingering issues that have either been there since launch, or where introduced in another update (the joys of coding). The main event is stability, as well as a ton of UI fixes. In fact a lot of those stability fixes actually deal with the UI itself, and anything from menu performance to incorrect vending machine thumbnails have been addressed....

In this secondDust 514dev diary Producer Thomas Farrer and Art Director Robert Dimond discuss the mercenary troops, their roles, weapons and armor. These guys are the best and the most bad ass, not just regular cannon fodder. They’re also clones who, when they die, have their memories uploaded to another clone. So they are essentially immortal.

Memorial Day weekend always signifies some poignent things for me. Remembering those who serve for our freedom, plenty of rest, and a whole lot of grilling delicious meats are always on the agenda. I’m far from being an outdoorsy type or person, but for some reason this weekend seems to pull me away from the TV and has me obsessed with dining al fresco. What’s you weekend plans? Destructoid reported thatDemon’s Soulsonline service wasn’t going to be a fond memory, but would continue on, allowing us to die on forever....

Hey, a pandemic game! When news broke two weeks ago thatForza Horizon 3would be delistedtoward the end of September, I wondered whether it’d go out with one last hurrah as a closing time freebie in next month’s Games with Gold. It wasn’t meant to be, as Microsoft’s instead giving out a different old game that has similarly been made redundant by newer entries in its series. The Divisionis the biggest name in September’s Games with Gold lineup, as Ubisoft’s 2016 open-world RPG team shooter takes the spotlight....

It’s alright Party gameUse Your Wordsarrived recently on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U, but now you can add “Switch” to the equation as per a new trailer. No timeline was given, but it’s a refreshing change of pace to see anything arrive on Nintendo platforms after seeing so many omissions in recent years. Although I liked ita little more than Jed, it doesn’t go far enough with its premise....

Still putting on finishing touches AlthoughThe Witnessis set to release next month, Jonathan Blow is still putting on the finishing touches as we speak. Voiceover is apparently done outside of some minor work in early January, at which point the team will reveal the final voice cast. You can also get a look at the near final build above. Finally, there may be a physical box coming, and Thekla Inc., the developer, has been in talks with “a couple of parties for a while” on that subject....

It runs through May 2, so you have time [Update:Nintendo has reminded folksin a “last call” post of sorts that the My Nintendo Kirby contest ends soon. You have until May 2 to enter.] Nintendo is currently running a (US-based)My Nintendo Kirby contestfor a Kirby prize pack, which comes with a lot of different goodies: a Club Mocchi-Mocchi plush, aForgotten Landtote, a food kanji throw, two 24oz branded water bottles, and a “big face adjustable hat” (as well as a warp star hat in the old school style)....

Autographed by Mike Bithell I haven’t had the urge to buy blocks in… a long time, but theseThomas Was Alone“action figures” are testing my resolve. The Claire figure even floats, apparently, which sounds perfect for the tub. Yes, I’m a supposed adult in the market for bath toys. Life takes unexpected turns. If your next one involves dropping£20 on these plastic prisms, you best act fast, as they’re in very limited supply....
