Get Wicked! Bayonetta, a character many fans have wanted inSuper Smash Bros., has just been officially announced for the game! Bayonetta was the #1 choice in Europe’sSmashballot, and in the top five in North America. In fact, she was #1 worldwide! Her playstyle is combo-oriented, with many multi-hit moves, even smashes.

Vice President tells Reverend Asshole that’d be just fine Vice President Joe Biden recently had a meeting with religious leaders to discuss gun control, and violent media was discussed. God forbid we don’t obfuscate the gun discussion with more demented strawmen.

I can’t believe this game is only a year old DoesAnthemdeserve a second chance? The co-op sci-fi shooter had promise – some would argue that it still does to this day – but formany reasons, the game failed to come together in a way that satisfied BioWare or its longtime supporters. It felt like a huge missed opportunity from the famed RPG studio. We’ve seen games recover from far worse fates, and now BioWare is trying its hand at a rework....

‘Trust me, we figured it out’ A go-to joke when it comes toBorderlands 3is how Gearbox could possibly manage to create cover art where a three-armed Psycho pointed three finger guns at his own head.

It was suggested from the very start thatDestiny 2‘s Episodes –the content format for 2024– would only be a temporary solution. Now, Bungie has doubled down on that notion with a comprehensive explanation ofCodename: Frontiers, the next big chapter inDestiny 2‘s rich and storied history.
