It highlights just about everything you could want, from the vehicles on offer to a bunch of new mechanics.

The biggest reveal however is exactly what the Falco amiibo will unlock — a Black Arwing....

Nintendo Gaming Lounge returns Nintendo is calling their San Diego Comic-Con lineup their biggest ever. To me it looks like they packed up their E3 showing and saved it for SDCC. That’s great news as their E3 showing was fantastic. They’re back at the Marriott Marquis & Marina hotel, right next door to Comic-Con. As always, you don’t need a badge to get in and play any of the games. Here’s what you can expect to play:...

Check out the Steam demo Slay theSpirehas eaten through a few hundred hours of my time, and ever since I’ve been scouring Steam for another great deckbuilding roguelike. While the crossover subgenre is relatively small, we’re seeing more and more of them these days, including the new cyberpunk kung fu-themed titleNitro Kid. The game was revealed today during the PC Gaming Showcase, and I’ve already added it to my wish list....

“Streamer priority” did not help ease community frustrations As any avidPath of Exileplayer can now tell you, yesterdaysucked. We are used to some day-one server issues, as all online-only playerbases are, but holy cow was yesterday an absolute mess. After a very slow-moving player queue,Path of Exilefinally let people in only to be disconnected five minutes later.Maybethis would have been more tolerable if it also didn’t come with rollbacks, essentially wiping the last 1-3 minutes of progress off the board....

‘The Next Generation of Gaming’ The next generation of gaming is nearly here. For some, that means excitement, launch parties, and endless gaming marathons. For others, it’s a serious case of FOMO as they roll their eyes at the prospect of spending over $1000 on two new consoles at once (or in some cases, roughly $500-$600 on just one of them). But alas the next gen is coming, and Xbox boss Phil Spencer is sharing a bit more info onthe Xbox Series Xin one very simple breakdown article....

Choose Your Own (Trailer) Adventure! An interactive trailer forDead Rising 3has popped up on the Xbox YouTube channel today. Challenging viewers to find a path to “the after party,” the trailer constitutes a whole mess of short (~30 second) clips followed by a choice between two further clips, with each demonstrating another way to deal with the zombies plaguing Los Perdidos. It’ll probably take you a good bit of time to see all the footage....

Games compared to pedophiles, because that’s not irresponsible! Former politician and consumer advocate Ralph Nader has decided to throw his lot in with theperpetrators of moral panic, writing off videogames as “electronic child molesters.” Talk about a socially responsible statement! The jab at videogames was tossed into a wider attack on president Barack Obama. “Tomorrow I’ll watch another rendition of political bullshit by the newly reelected president, full of promises that he intends to break just like he did in 2009,” Nader proclaimed....

Hands-on with Street Fighter V Street Fighter Vhas been pretty well received by the fighting game community, and it’s not even slated to come out until early 2016. I enjoyed my time with the beta, and now, I got my hands on the latest build here at TGS, which includes a playable Rashid. I certainly didn’t expect it, but I may have found a new main. To my surprise, Rashid’s command moves were actually simple to execute....

This weekend, some varmints adventuring through Rockstar’sRed Dead Onlinewere stopped dead in their tracks by a horrible scene that was straight out of a Jodorowsky film. Several players were reporting stumbling across huge piles of dead horses, sans their skin, just lying out in the Valentine district. This coincided with a huge drop in all other wildlife and other NPCs elsewhere, creating a pretty empty, eerie experience. Players took to Reddit to discuss the end-of-days phenomenon,as they tried to work out whether the grim sight was the tease for an upcoming event, a protest at real-world issues, a reference to a historic event, or just one of the darkest glitches in video game history....
