Endgame, aka Futties season, is here inEA FC 24, and things are already looking pretty different in Ultimate Team.

Gamers react to Microsoft’s robbery of consumer rights Microsoftfinally clarifiedmuch of its policy on used games and online restrictions with the Xbox One, and the news is grim for those who actually believe in consumer rights. With its new system, Microsoft will take the final step in stripping gamers of their property ownership, and control every moment of their experience. Making you check in every 24 hours like a groveling lapdog, restricting your ability to lend and rent games, and effectively pursuing the industry dream of keeping goods long after they’ve been sold, the Xbox One is a corporation’s fantasy machine that flips off the common end user....

Dragon, not lizard – I don’t do that tongue thing Mulan‘s Mushu might not do that tongue thing, butSkyward Swordvillain Ghirahim sure does! The vain villain joins the fray in a rather interesting trailer, which shows off his swordplay, diamond animations, and super-powers. In addition to his fancy footwork and one-handed sword techniques, Ghirahim can transform into his “true form,” which allows him access to more damage and faster speed....

I just want Winston to be a big silly Frankenstein Halloween costumes andOverwatch‘s generally bad-ass skins seem like the perfect match, so of course people have been clamoring for seasonal content. We all know it’s coming, it’s just a question of when and how. A Reddit poster by the name ofChronosHerospotted what may be a leak on Xbox Live that has some details for us. Since the text is cut off there, ChronosHero supplied the rest:...

With alien assassins and laser guns A Small Favor,developed by two-man team ClickShake Games, has some big shoes to fill. Cartoonist and animator Jay Ziebarth describes it as a combination of “the gritty, futuristic adventure style ofFull ThrottleandBeneath a Steel Skywith the side scrolling sci-fi exploration ofAnother World.” Name dropping three of my favorite games is certainly enough to pique my interest. The adventure game is based on abrowser gamefrom the same team, and follows an alien assassin as he does “favors” for unpleasant gangsters....

Nothing like a little healthy competition Taking an approach to console gaming not unlike what theOUYAis hoping to do, the GameStick is a small-scale, Android-based console that plugs into your television by way of HDMI. Creator PlayJam is aiming for $100,000 inpledges on Kickstarterto finish development of the device, more than half of which has already been raised on the campaign’s first day. The system itself is small enough to fit within its controller and has an Amlogic 8726-MX processor, 1GB DDR 3 / 8GB Flash, and runs Android Jelly Bean....

A little more touch the gamepad! I always find it strange when there are celebrity cameos in video games. I’m not talking about something like the zaniness of Keith David being inSaints Rowas Keith David (…after having voiced Julius in the first two games), but more like when the celebrity has their exact likeness placed into the title in a serious manner. How does one explain Zachary Levi being inTomb Raider, for instance?...
