Complete with season rewards and new titles To the untrained eye,Rocket Leagueis always the same regardless of how many people are playing. One-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three — it’s all cars deftly knocking a ball around in hopes that it goes into a goal. “Soccer but with cars” is always the high-concept pitch. There are some deviations, though. Over the game’s three-year lifespan, Psyonix has introduced some alternate game modes. Hoops is essentially basketball....

MMORPG on the big blue sea? After being rudderless for three years, this ship’s changing course. Ubisoft, unhappy with the waySkull & Boneshas been unable to forge its own unique identity, has significantly altered the naval warfare game. According to a report fromVideo Games Chronicle, development onSkull & Boneshas been rebooted so that Ubisoft Singapore can step back and try a new approach. Rather than pursue the $60 triple-A model, Ubisoft has instructed the developer to go after the “games as a service” angle....

amiibo skins [Update:more pictures are available in the gallery below,like Waluigi.] It’s no surprise that the sprawlingSuper Mario Makersupports Nintendo’s amiibo toys — we saw Wii Fit Trainer show up in-gamea few months ago. All the amiibo are supported and grant character skins that have some special animations, as Chris noted in hispreview. You can also unlock all these fun costumes by completing the “100 Mario Challenge mode,” thankfully....

His number-one pick? Killer7 While Grasshopper Manufacture was at PAX West to show offLet it DieandThe Silver Case, during an interview with creator Goichi Suda regarding the latter game, I had to ask about the future. What’s next for him? For the studio? More often than not, that line of questioning ends with a contemplative pause and “no comment.” Thankfully, he was willing to share some telling hints. The upcoming PC and Mac version ofThe Silver Caseis a way to bringthe obscure adventure title to an English audience for the first time, but it will also help keep it easily accessible, and better preserved....

As of right now I can play my Netflix on my computer, on my 360, through that Netflix box thing and through my PS3. Down the road the streaming video part of the service has already been confirmed for the Wii, though thanks to the many hi-def options most gamers already have that won’t be so useful to a lot of us. The main problem with all of these things is that they can’t fit in your pocket....

Love those devils If you’re a fan of Jin or Devil Jin, you’re in luck, as they will be making a triumphant return toTekken 7. The news was just revealed by way of three videos showing off a trio of combatants, the highlight of which is easily Josie, a newcomer to the series who was crafted by the talentedMari Shimazaki, lead character designer of theBayonnetaseries. Jin and Devil Jin will be making their way to the arcades in the next week or so, while Josie’s release date is still undecided....

It takes a whole heck of a lot of creativity to to what this guy is doing. I can barely get one Rubick’s Cube to look like it’s supposed to. This guy is making art out of them. I would probably just peel the stickers off and rearrange them. Today we have a whole bunch of fun stuff. There are at least two separate articles today that use the word “handjob”, we have a new episode of Podtoid which talks about Twilight andSkyrim, someZeldabutter, shouting at dragons, and reviews ofDragon Ball Z: Ultimate TenkaichiandOtomedius Excellent....

The mod creator is redrawing cutscenes El Gato Del Tejadois taking it upon themselves to craft aSimpsons Hit and Runremaster, and it’s going extremely well so far. In the first half of the latest development video, the mod creator walks us through some in-engine shots of the project; giving us an update on some of the game’s character models, namely Lisa Simpson. They chronicle the journey of getting a 3D model to show up correctly in-game — and folks, it ain’t easy!...

Promoted from our Community Blogs [I almost never care even the slightest bit about whatever flavor-of-the-week video game has taken the world by storm, butFall Guysis different. It speaks to me on a primal level, and you’re able to bet your ass that I have strong opinions about which rounds reign supreme.There’s not enough space here to fully get into it, but let’s just say that I absolutely, 100%, do not agree with all ofDango’schoices here in this blog ranking each round....

Add this banner to the billions of others you don’t use Splatoon 3is keeping upthe same cute marketing campaignas it has in the past: adding “SplatNet” rewards that require scanning in a QR code. This one, released in late March 2023, involves a “Boston-themed banner.” No, it’s not a Dunkin Donuts/Ben Affleck promo. But there is a lobster (lobstah?) involved. SRL Acronym Team back from vacation with a SQUID—a Super Quick Update Involving Downloads!...

Still smaller than the Xbox 1 Run for the hills, Vancouver readers!The Vergehas captured footage of a monstrous, 40 foot long, 20 foot wide Xbox One lethargically lying about the city, demanding players “pledge” their gamertags like an obsidian Jabba the Hutt. If the cultish monstrosity can convince enough converts, the prop will “unlock,” revealing its true form. I expect something like the end of the movieIt. Repent! Repent! The end is nigh!...

If I wanted to get aDeath Strandingfigure, I’d fork over way too much money for theJumbo Ludens. That thing is a beast! But Good Smile Company also has a more traditional Nendoroid coming later this year for the game’s stoic protagonistSam Porter Bridges, and the toy is charming in its own right. For starters, the cutie comes with a miniature BB, to say nothing of the even smaller Cryptobiote snack. I also appreciate that the Odradek – the flapping scanner device designed to help Sam scout out ghostly BTs – has “several points of articulation,” so it can be posed for maximum dramatic effect....
