“Want your rib cage meat stuck between my teeth” Even if you’re not a fan of hip hop, the silly and over-the-topAnarchy Reignssoundtrack has a lot to offer. There are some great melodies courtesy of Platinum Games composer Naoto Tanaka along with the vocal talents of a slew of rappers and artists. As much as I loved the soundtrack forMadWorld,AnarchyReigns surpasses it in every way possible. We ran a review of the soundtrack back inJuly 2012to correspond with the Japanese release, but wanted to present it once morenow that the game is outin North America....

It’s over.” “When the power structure shifts to the content creators, the old buildings might still be standing but there’s new people in there,” he said....

Good buy SoThe Witcher 3is kind of turning heads in the Switch port community:we even talked about it yesterday! Although Panic Button has a choke hold on the Switch port market other studios are known to do some great work, and Saber Interactive (who is also responsible for theVampyrport) is part of that list. Not only did fans notice it, but THQ Nordic’s parent company (Embracer Group) did as well, which is why they offered them $150 million, minimum (up to $375m if conditions are met), to join....

Straight from Capcom What better way to celebrate your love ofMega Manthan wearing this odd, neon green lanyard around your neck? Or something like that. You canpre-order the lanyard herefor the fairly pricey $9.95, and you’ll also netthis little limited edition tagwith it.

As a musician, this developer diary video on the sound ofThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimis fascinating. The series is known for its outstanding audio, and it sounds like they went all out this time around. Even as a gamer, you should definitely check this out. The first half of the video focuses on the recording of the main theme forSkyrim, which was supposed to sound like barbarian men in chorus. They nailed it, so much so that even watching the recording session gave me goosebumps....

From Studio 4 C Toukiden: The Age of Demonsis coming to the PlayStation Vita in February, but for now, you can sit back and watch this anime intro from Studio 4°C. As you can guess it deals with demons galore, and from there, lots of violence ensues. Overall it’s not the most engaging anime short I’ve seen, but as is usually the case from 4°C, the animation is beautiful. Speaking of 4°C, I can’t wait for the third part of theBerserk Golden Arcseries to get localized....

Ubisoft isn’t happy, and it’s all your fault. The company that I’ve lovingly dubbed “The Activision of Europe” has posted a50% sales dropfrom last year, placing sales at a figure 12% lower than expected. Ubisoft has placed the blame on DS piracy, but is working to add extra incentives for paying customers, most notably figurines. “We are currently experiencing a very sharp slowdown in our sales for Nintendo DS as well as sales of back-catalog titles, in the context of a market that is tougher than anticipated,” states Ubi prez Yves Guillemot....

Oh, Microsoft! If you type “The Xbox One is” on Google, autocomplete will helpfully offer suggestions based on what the world is saying about it. Right now those suggestions are less than flattering. “The Xbox One is terrible,” reads the first item. It’s also “ugly” and “a joke.” Microsoft’s proprietary search engine, Bing, would have you believe a different tale. Entering the same search into Bing offers up one single suggestion: “The Xbox One is amazing....
