This silly trick seems like a very good use of my time Resident Evil 4is a super-replayable game in a series full of them. Whether you’re tearing through it as fast as possible, limiting your arsenal for an extra self-imposed challenge, scrounging up secrets and obscure death animations, or just playing it again for no particular reason because it’s a thrill ride that expertly hides its age, there’s always something fun to do inRE4....

Sega taunts from afar once more I’m not really aPhantasy Starfan, good thing too, as I’d be permanently miserable about the lack of love shown in my region and elsewhere for the classic RPG series. The misery continues as Nintendo have announcedPhantasy Star Online 2: Ghostfor Switch. For Japan, naturally.

Major League Ballin’ Attempt. It probably won’t. But good on them for trying when it’s the only baseball game worth buying anyway and they don’t have to do much to maintain its goodness. And I’m sure plenty time is being spent on the PS4 version. Someone should bring backTriple Play. Anyway, catchers no longer have to call every pitch (just pitches with RISP) and it’s going to be less feasible to pull a 99 in all your stats throughout your career, which is nice....

This isNo Trace, an upcoming top-down stealth-action game from Portsmouth, UK-based Square Mountain. There’s potential for silly or otherwise creative environmental assassinations, or just going ham with guns if that’s your preferred approach (sometimes it comes to that!...

Initial impressions I just obtained my review copy for the upcoming 3DS match-three puzzlerPokémon Shuffle, and man, is it rough to get on-board with this microtransaction scheme. If you want the full rundown of what to expectyou can read this article, but the gist is that it features both power-ups and an energy mechanic.

Yes, the western version Finally! The time has come where we don’t miss out on those awesomePhantasy Star Online 2collaborations.
