LAMO has been rolling out their second wave of streamer-inspired figurines at a rapid-fire pace the last few weeks, with CouRage being the latest livestream star to get his very own LAMO. CouRage joins DrLupo and Shroud in the recent additions to the collection that began with TimTheTatman, Lirik, Summit1g, Ninja, and Dr Disrespect earlier this year. If you’re unfamiliar, LAMO is a series of adorably-collectible miniatures based on the biggest names in streaming....

When Capcom announced that the last demo for Resident Evil Village would only be available for one day, fans got nervous. Folks took to Twitter, saying they wouldn’t be able to play the demo because they, like most people, have jobs. This clearly wasn’t something Capcom took into consideration before, but it sure is now. Following what it’s calling “feedback,” a tweet made by the Resident Evil account announced that the hour-long Resident Evil Village demo would be available for an extra week....

If you asked a Zelda fan what their favorite game is, there’s a good chance they would say Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker. And for a good reason: both games have a great story and they’re just plain fun to play. And the fact that their stories are tied together makes them pretty interesting. As a Zelda fan, while I really enjoyed Ocarina of Time, I absolutely adored Wind Waker....

The Legend of Zelda Wii U is no longer scheduled to release this year, Nintendo has announced. The game will not be shown during this year’s E3, either. “Since I declared at the Game Awards in December that the game would launch in 2015, the directors and the many members of the development team have been working hard developing the game,” producer Eiji Aonuma explained in a video released this evening....

Community isn’t the only NBC show being re-examined for racially insensitive material. The Office is also returning to the cutting room due to a controversial scene from its final season, which aired in 2012-2013. According to Variety, NBC and Netflix have removed a scene featuring a character in blackface from its season nine holiday episode, “Dwight Christmas.” The scene will no longer appear on Netflix, NBC’s Peacock (when the show hits the service in 2021), or syndication....

When The Pathless launched last year, it became an instant classic in my eyes. The serene world with no handholding and plenty of opportunities for exploration left me enthralled. On PC, the game launched with a year of Epic exclusivity. But now The Pathless is finally out on Steam with a significant discount and bundles to boot. The game was developed by the folks at Giant Squid, who also made Abzu....

Giant Squid’s The Pathless has been announced for PlayStation 5, as well as its other releases on PlayStation 4, PC, and iOS through Apple Arcade. An introspective adventure game, The Pathless has the player take on the role of the Hunter, who is a legendary archer called to a mystical island to shatter the curse of darkness that poisons their world. With their eagle companion, they will solve puzzles buried in crumbling ruins, explore what awaits them in the forests, and battle afflicted behemoths rampaging on the island....

The SCELBI-8H was a personal computer that came in a kit form or assembled. It featured the 8-bit Intel 8008 CPU and 1,024 bytes of memory. The computer had its launch date in 1974, during the same timeframe as the Micral computer. The name SCELBI was an acronym for (Sc)ientific (El)ectronic (Bi)ological and was pronounced “sell-bee.” Bob Findley and Nate Wadsworth were founders of the SCELBI Computer Consulting Inc., of Milford, Connecticut....

Bigben Interactive has released a fresh look at its H.P. Lovecraft-flavoured adventurer The Sinking City, and if you ever found shaving a bit uncomfortable before, just be glad you aren’t Charles W. Reed. The new footage isn’t shy about flexing its Cthulhu-shaped muscles, with Reed having a bit of trim before noticing tentacles emerging from the small cuts made by his razor. I’ve nicked myself plenty of times shaving, but this goes one step a bit too far....

This review contains spoilers. 2.6 Taizo The Terror: Infamy delivers another stunning episode with Taizo, an hour that brings Yuko’s grim past to light. Finally, we get the answers we’ve been searching for all season and they don’t disappoint. In fact, Taizo solves so many of the season’s mysteries that I’m left wondering what’s next? The not-so-unpredictable payoff of the episode is that Chester is Yuko’s son, whom she had to give up to an orphanage after Furuya-san, ever the douche, left her out on the streets....

Gwent may not be featured in the Witcher books, yet it’s a huge component in the world of The Witcher video games. There’s even a standalone online Gwent mobile game, which makes up a majority of CD Projekt Red’s revenue, so in some ways you can thank Gwent for Cyberpunk 2077. In The Witcher 3, Gwent can be pretty intimidating, especially for first-time witchers. Fortunately, Gwent isn’t all that complex once you get a feel for it....

With the new Netflix series dropping its first season (of an apparently planned seven), it seems like a better time than ever to talk about the famous Witcher franchise. This series of games and shows were all based on the books created by Andrzej Sapkowski while the game development was headed by CD Projekt Red, both of which are Polish entities. Geralt of Rivia is the protag, and we follow him as he goes around killing monsters to either escape destiny, find destiny, or ignore it altogether....

This Succession review contains spoilers. Succession Season 2 Episode 7 Things are getting downright hostile on Succession. Let’s consider the case of Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong), perhaps the most beleaguered of Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) psychologically and socially abused adult children. They’re all vying for a piece of the Waystar Royco pie. Especially Kendall, who attempted a coup last season that, after the accidental death of an employee, came to nothing and put him squarely in his father’s pocket....

The schedule for the annual Summer Games Done Quick speedrunning charity event has been revealed, including both new and old games for the week-long marathon. The upcoming event will kick off on Sunday, June 26 with a pre-show followed by a boss rush run of the PlayStation 4 version of Shadow of the Colossus, and will end a week later on July 3 with an “All Remembrances” run and an Any% run for Elden Ring on PC....

Super Kirby Clash took the industry by surprise when it released last September. Offering a free-to-play experience on the Switch, not everyone was happy with the direction the Kirby franchise was heading. The game is heavily monetized by microtransactions but can still be enjoyed without breaking open your wallet. Even better, players can take advantage of ‘passwords’ to collect a few extra Gem Apples and Fragments. There are only a few codes for North American and European users — but codes aren’t region locked....

UPDATE: 17:15 – Sega Europe just confirmed Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD will indeed be coming to the West too, and have put out an English language trailer, which we’ve embedded below. It’s also out a couple of days before the Japanese release, with an October 29 release date. They also mention a release for Xbox One, and the Steam version will follow ‘Winter 2019.’ ORIGINAL STORY FOLLOWS: Following on from last week’s leak via the Tawainese ratings board, a ’new’ Super Monkey Ball game has indeed been confirmed in Japan as a HD re-release of the Wii’s Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz....

If you’re happiest flying solo when playing Smash Bros Ultimate, you’ve no doubt sunk hours into the fantastic campaign mode, “World of Light.” Since the platformer-style Subspace Emissary featured in Brawl, a single-player campaign to get your teeth into has been sorely missed. Finally it’s back, and World of Light has a colossal map to traverse with plenty of fights along the way. This mode has a real range of difficulty, from battles where you can knock an opponent flying from the first couple hits to those with complex AI that require more techniques....

It appears that this year’s EVO event will not feature any appearance from Nintendo beat-em-up series Super Smash Bros. As per a tweet from the official EVO account, it’ll be the first time in fifteen years the series hasn’t been a part of the most famous fighting game tournament. The brief statement implied that the absence was Nintendo’s decision. “We are saddened that Nintendo has chosen not to continue that legacy with us this year....

Earlier this morning on IGN Japan, indie developers Suda51 (No More Heroes) and Swery65 (Deadly Premonition) announced that they would be teaming up to craft a horror game…maybe…they aren’t quite sure. The Livestream was more of a train of thought deal where the two bounced ideas off of each other in an impromptu brainstorming session. At the very least, the duo are definitely collaborating on a new game. Suda51 calls the project Hotel Barcelona, which appears to just be a spur of the moment title for some horror experience....
