We won’t give you a pop quiz, though Okay, you’ve finally wrapped your head around the naming convention. Maybe it came naturally to you, maybe it took a little bit of time. Xbox Series S is the affordable entry-level model, Xbox Series X is the creme de la creme. You’ve internalized which one is better. But what does that really mean?

Rockstar North talks at length about its ambitious plans for GTA V Going in, I was skeptical that Rockstar really needed to so prominently tease the reveal ofGTA Online, but it feels good to be, on some level, proven wrong; this isn’t just more of the same. Speaking toCVG, Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies referred to it “as a different entity, a separate thing, and it’ll grow on its own. It’ll be GTA Online; it’s not part ofGTA V....

As you advance your Crafting Skill inOld School Runescape, you will eventually need to get your hands on some Uncut Diamonds.

But to do so, you first need them in uncut form. Here is how to get Uncut Diamonds inOSRS....

This can only end well American Truck Simulatorisout on Steamnext week, and we have Patrick on point for the review. That’s all well and good. But lately, he’s been coming into our staff chat with what I have decided must be hip trucker lingo, and I just can’t get it out of my head. I need all the mental space I can muster to untangle these dang puzzles inThe Witness, Patrick!...

Tons of characters have been tweaked Remember thatInjustice: Gods Among Uscharacter balance patch? Well it’s here, and hopefully it’ll save us from the same few characters being used in tournies over and over. Black Adam and Zatanna are probably the biggest tweaks, and nearly every character in the game has been changed in some way or another. you’re able to check outthe full patch notes here, but you might want to sit down first — it’s quite a bit!...

Does anyone know the way to blockbuster? Beat-heavy puzzle titleLumines Remasteredis to receive a physical release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch courtesy of those physical media fans over at Limited Run Games. The originalLumines– designed by rhythm game master Tetsuya Mizuguchi – launched back in 2004 on the PSP, where it won over a ton of fans with its blend of addictive puzzle gameplay, sweet beats and unique use of light and sound....

Or do it! I’m not the boss of you There’s a lot going on this Japanese television ad forThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Too much, probably! You’re not going to want to see it if you’ve held out this long and remained relatively spoiler-free. Stay strong, and also be careful on Nintendo of America’s Twitter feed, as well. I’m one of those maniacs who doesn’t mind seeing cool things ahead of time that will almost certainly still seem cool to me once the game is out and I know the context of the situation....

One of the best-feeling games in recent memory Dead Cells, y’all — it’s legit. You don’t even have to take it from me. Ray had a lot of praise for Motion Twin’sCastlevania-inspired action-platformer roguelite in hisSteam Early Access reviewlast year. If you were hoping the game would make it over to consoles, that’s indeed happening.Dead Cellswill release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One later this year. If those hits in the trailer look like they carry a satisfyingthwackto them, you’d be correct....

Well played Nintendo doesn’t want to acknowledge the fan-created Bowsette, but I don’t know how much badgering Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aimé can take before he has to at least saysomething. All of these fan-creations only help build Bowsette’s cachet, including this stellar mod showcased by ProsafiaGaming. Naturally Bowsette has replaced Bowser inNew Super Mario Bros Wii, and with her evil eyes of doom is no less formidable. The kingdom is still saved and Peach is still rescued, but the way it’s done is significantly different....

Looks good, feels good My history with theMonster Hunterseries is painfully, regretfully abrupt. I attempted to get into it years ago, on PlayStation Portable, but bounced off so hard that I can’t even confidently say which installment I tried. That experience kept me off the handheld games for good, and while I came close to springing forMonster Hunter 3 Ultimateon Wii U, well, that just never panned out. These things happen....
