The chains of co-op? While the big Nintendo Direct news that turned heads today was most definitely, without a shadow of a doubt,theLink’s Awakeningremake, I was the guy who went “yeah but what’sAstral Chainthough,” as I tilted my head in amusement. The trailer opens up with a police officer duo basically wrecking shit: complete with transformations and a chain-based combat system that Nintendo is slyly hinting will be multiplayer-centric. We get a decent look at the world, the monsters that inhabit it, and a bunch of gameplay: it’s a Good Trailer....

Call of Duty Black Ops 6has begun its first weekend, and the new COD title has been receiving a strong reception from fans worldwide. While there hasn’t been any significant issue on the technical side, some users have reported problems faced by gameplay crashes. These issues have almost entirely occurred on the PC side. While my journey so far has been smooth on the hardware side, I even encountered occasional crashes on my system (although my hardware is well-equipped in terms of the required specs)....

Don’t steal the towels Nintendo UK revealed a new map coming to Switch arena-shooterSplatoon 2soon. The Albacore Hotel is next in a long line of updates and additions that have graced the popular multiplayer title in recent months. Set atop a snazzy plaza, the map is pretty classy affair, complete with rooftop swimming pool, a performance stage, and a breathtaking view of the city. Of course you won’t have time to take advantage of the five-star decor, as you and your squid (or perhaps now, Octoling) pals will be fighting it out over, I dunno,Orange Juiceor some such matter....

Jesus Christ. I don’t know what else to say about theabove video, in which Black Friday shoppers act like feral dogs in order to get their filthy hands on a bunch of Xbox 360 consoles. No, scratch that, feral dogs have slightly more self-respect. They say a person is three hot meals away from turning into an animal, but whoever observed that overestimated society. It only really takes one cheap electronic product....

A racing game where the star is literally called ‘Crash’ Activision has dropped a hi-octane trailer for the upcomingCrash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, a remake of the popular PS1 kart racerCrash Team Racing.The video features a cinematic edit of the gameplay in action.

Crafty crafter EnemyAirship has a whole party (Mario Party?) of crocheted Nintendo pals and foes in aFlickr gallery. They’re all fantastic, and everyone you’d ever want is there. The whole Nintendo gang. Hell, there’s even a Magikoopa upskirt shot for you sickos. I really want the blue Octorok for my office desk. The good news is that EnemyAirship has anEtsy shop, and some of the pictured goods are available there. There’s a limited stock (Raccoon Mario’s gone) but she does take special orders....

Podtoid 401 It may not ever be #1 at the box office, but Detective Pikachu is certainly #1 in our hearts. The highly anticipated film pulled off what so…so…so…somany other films before it couldn’t: properly adapt video game source material to the big screen. It’s funny, it’s adorable, and it’s one of the topics on this episode of Podtoid. We’re shorthanded this week, but CJ, Dan, and Occams are on hand to talk games, Sony’s State of Play, loot box legislation, what summons fromFinal Fantasy VIIwe can’t wait to see in the remake, and other old games that deserve the AAA-remake treatment....

Not a yes, but also not a no Earlier today,DrinkBox Studios revealedGuacamelee 2during PlayStation’s Paris Games Week showcase. It’s a feel-good announcement becauseGuacameleeis one of those rare games that most everyone who played it has some sort of affection for. A sequel is equal parts exciting and not-surprising. However, becauseGuacamelee 2was announced at PlayStation’s event, there’s an implication of sorts that it’ll be PlayStation-exclusive to some extent. So will it be?...

From the mind ofTriguncreator Yasuhiro Nightow, Gungravedealt with a resurrected killer out for revenge, and was host to two video games and an anime. Both titles were met with a sort of mixed reception, but each had their charms — now, the modern world is going to be reintroduced toGungravewith a PSVR game....
