Take-Two Interactive has an interesting response to gamers upset with what the company does with the in-game currency they buy. In anongoing disputeover whether money is essentially stolen when a game’s servers shut down, Take-Two characterized in-game virtual currency as “fictions created by game publishers.” Currently Take-Two is facing a class-action lawsuit in California related to microtransactions in theNBA 2Kgames.

Pokemon LegendsDaybreak is version 1.1.0 YesterdayThe Pokemon Company dumped quite a bit of info on us from all their major game lines, including thePokemon Legends: ArceusDaybreak update, which launched shortly after the presentation. Thus far, the patches have been extremely light. Version 1.0.1 “fixed some problems,” and version 1.0.2 upped the ante of bug fixing by a tad. Daybreak actually adds a ton of content. Breaking it down, a number of “post-credit” quests (requests) are now in, which follows the post-game storyline....

Hands-on, eyes-on with EVE: Valkyrie EVE: Valkyriehas been one of the bestfull-game showingsfor virtual reality (versus novel tech demos, which are still my favorite use of VR) for a while now and as we edge towards the early 2016 wave of VR release (Rift, Vive, PlayStation VR),EVE: Valkyriewill be at the forefront, coming packed into Rift pre-orders to make sure the hardware has software to really sell it.

Like… totally radical? Tubular? Gnarly? Something like that. I used to have aSonic the Hedgehogskateboard. My dad modified it to let me turn it into a scooter whenever I wanted, and it was the coolest thing in the history of forever… until I tried to do an ollie. I, in all my nine-year-old stupidity, didn’t understand I had to actually jump to do the trick. Instead, Istampedon the front of the board with all my weight and expected to be catapulted into the air, pulling off a “wicked sick” ollie to be remembered through the ages....

Now there’s a game that would’ve eaten your quarters Yesterday, we posted a very cool video that combined the animation of Studio MDHR’s platformerCupheadwith the grim terror of FromSoft’sDark Souls. In that article, I commented on howCupheadseems to spark inspiration for a lot of fan projects. Well, here’s another such tribute, as Reddit user Xiubeda, aka John Sellers, recently uploaded photos and video of his homemadeCupheadarcade cabinet, constructed in tribute to the popular run ‘n’ gun title....

And some stuff about the game, I guess In an interview withRock Paper Shotgun, CD Projekt revealed the reasoning behind the decision to give the previously beard-less Geralt a beard inThe Witcher 3.Michał Platkow-Gilewski of CD Projekt said that they “asked all the girls here, what’s the sexiest thing about the guys in the office? They all said the beards are the sexiest.” Okay the real reason is that “time has passed,” but I’m going to keep citing that first quote to anyone who asks....

Releasing on Thursday, June 09, 2025, the “Reign of Blood” effects pack will bring a bunch of blood and “mature-related” effects to the battlefield.

Same event, different time If you’ve used the internet within the past six months, I don’t need to tell you thatPokemon Scarlet & Violetare buggy games. Despitea few patchesallegedly aiming to fix key issues, the games still don’t rungreat. Fortunately, the game’s rampant bugs occasionally lead to some benefits for the playerbase, including the current Tera Raid event live inPokemon Scarlet & Violet.

I was browsing the intertubes this morning in hopes of finding a new t shirt to add to my wardrobe, because like most women, I love to shop. I also have a pink jewel encrusted tampon chest in my bathroom, a minature poodle namedFiddlesticks, and a muscled swedish man namedHanselmaking me salmon pate in the kitchen as we speak. What a life! Anyway, back to the point. Although I didn’t find anything while I browsed about, I did find that there are an unsufferable number of terrible gamer related T-shirts on the market, most of which I would not want to be caught dead wearing....
