But several years ago, it exploded in size when a coworker got me into Humble Bundles. Before then, I’d buy the occasional PC title, usually heavily discounted. With the bundles, I saw it as a fantastic opportunity to purchase a hell of a lot of games that I would ultimately never play while also supporting some of my favorite charities....

Featuring Persona 5 The PlayStation 4 Slim is launching on September 15.Persona 5is also launching on September 15. Somehow I don’t think that’s a coincidence. So how do you adequately advertise the biggest game of the month and the launch of a new console revision without one stealing attention away from the other? By combining them in one epic commercial I just can’t get enough of. WhenPersona 5launches here next year, I hope Sony and Atlus advertise it with the same trailer....

Well, crap. Yesterday, on April Fool’s Day, Nightdive released a trailer forPO’ed: Definitive Edition.I thought they were joking. They were not. PO’edwas first released in 1995 on the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer system before getting ported to the PS1. It’s a first-person shooter that came out to cash in on the sudden popularity of the genre in the wake ofDoom. It differentiates itself by having a wacky story about a space chef fighting aliens and by including a jetpack for verticality before Duke Nukem did it....
