It’s another one of those games Last night a fewEvolvereviews were posted. Ours isn’t ready just yet, though. 2K Games informed us that servers won’t actually go live until later today, to prepare for the official launch. In other words, since we haven’t had the opportunity to test real-life servers yet, we therefore do not have a review. Once we obtain a full retail copy of the game all of you will be playing,our own Nic Rowenwill put it through its paces, and provide an update of his experience at launch, followed by a full, scored review....

It’s up to you, but gyms could be the path of least resistance Pokemon ScarletandVioletmixes the age-old formula up significantly, by giving you three major choices in which to tackle the main storyline. There’s a rival gang, a good old fashioned adventure, and the classic “be the very best” gym questline. How you decide to tackle them is up to you,but taking on the gyms first will set you up for success, and will be familiar to lapsed Pokemon players....

Lockhart rumors heating up We’re probably on the cusp of one of the leakiest next-gen rumors finally being confirmed. For a long time now, there has been talk that Microsoft’s next-gen launch will feature afamily of two consoles— the Xbox Series X that we’ve known about since December 2019, and a cheaper lesser-powered console that’s still unannounced and codenamed Project Lockhart. Thanks to a new leak from someone with a next-gen developer kit, we have further proof that Lockhart is still on the way....

‘Shikashi!’ Sometimes marketing can go horribly wrong. Writing a commercial that involves a crazy old man telling the story ofDragon Questto a pair of children, then proceeding to orgasmically playing a gaming console is a example of when it can goperfectly right. All of this is to peddle yet another special edition PS4 — a blue version with another adorable slime latched onto it. It’s sexy for sure, as is the blue controller with the fairly mutedDragon Questsymbols on it (the PS4 theme is pretty nice too)....

Next Stop: Nueveos Aires Blendo Games has been one of the pioneers of storytelling in gaming for the better part of a decade. Blendo’s games range from “walking-simulators” all the way up to action-based hackers. Blendo have an unmistakable air of confidence, exuding the perfect amount of cinematic influence while still using the video game medium to their advantage. One of the early games that thrust Blendo into the indie spotlight wasFlotilla, so while it should be no surprise that they would return to these roots for a sequel, it may be surprising to learn thatFlotilla 2will be a virtual reality title....

brentalfloss lovesBanjo-Kazooie, but thatshouldn’t come as a surprise. I mean, doesn’t everybody? In his younger, flossier days, he wanted to be a part of Rare’sBKteam.Let him explain: I found some old compositions of mine the other day, and I want to share a few of them with you… See, when I was a college freshman, I sent some sample mp3s to Rare in the hopes that they’d hire me as the composer for their nextBanjo-Kazooiegame....

It came at a strange time whenBlack Opsabsolutely ruled all of my friend groups....

Oh and two other insane games This is super weird, because I have vivid memories of renting two of the three bizarreSNES games that just arrived on the Switch Online servicethis week. I’ll start withClaymates, which you should probably try, in part because of how dang weird it is. Platformers were a dime a dozen on the NES and SNES, but have you ever played one with this premise? “The protagonist of the game is a boy named Clayton, whose scientist father has developed a serum that can transform people into animals when it is combined with clay....
