He’s old, too! The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed thatYs IX: Monstrum Noxwill feature series protagonist Adol Christin after all. In addition to being another chapter in his ridiculously action-packed life,Monstrum Noxwill have Adol at his oldest age yet. Will this be the retirement of our beloved silent hero? As for the setting this time, it seems the story will be taking place afterYs Seveninstead ofVIII. I guess I’ve lost track of the chronological order of these games because I had assumedVIIIwas the latest in Adol’s life....

The updates for the cozy social MMOPaliajust keep coming. On September 26,Singularity 6 released Patch 0.169forPaliawhich comes with some pretty interesting changes. First, four new Outfit Bundles have been added to the Premium Store.

Zeki’s Underground Black Market has also been revamped, and how has a much cleaner feel to it....

At its best, the game’s worlds consist of tightly designed levels that carefully build upon each other, tutorializing through extensive trial and error. At its worst, it’s just obnoxiously difficult.
