Episode: Heresyhas set itself up to offer one of the best experiences forDestiny 2‘s Arc Subclasses. With sweeping buffs across the Subclass, new Aspects, and a new keyword, Bolt Charge, to play with, it looks like Arc may be the strongest it has ever been forHeresy. Of course, an individual Guardian’s experience may vary, which typically depends on the quality of a player’s build. If you know how to craft a setup that leans into what’s currently hot, you’ll have no problem playing with all ofDestiny 2‘s new Arc Subclass toys....

Grab your barrels, because Arc System Works pumped out a new trailer forDouble Dragon Collection. The six-pack of classic beat ’em ups is coming to Asia as a physical release on Switch, and you can see a flurry of fists in the overview trailer. While the physical release is Asia-only, Arc System Works will bring two of the “long awaited missing entries” to consoles and PC digitally. Those titles werepreviously announcedas new ports of 1992’sSuper Double Dragonand 2003’sDouble Dragon Advance....

From the makers of Endless Space The creators ofEndless Spacearen’t done with the 4X strategy genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate), and they’re heading from sci-fi to fantasy withEndless Legend. You can get a taste today if you’d like on Steam by way of the Early Access Program. If there’s one genre that will never die, it’s strategy games. No matter what happens in any other arena of the gaming world, strategy has been chugging along for decades now, and there will always be an audience for them — myself included!...

Udon brings Persona 3 manga out September 2016 Maker offine books Udonis following uplast year’sPersona 4manga, published in English last September, with an English publication of thePersona 3manga starting this September. Symmetry! And good-ish timing withPersona 5‘s September release. I’ve written the words “September” and “Persona” way too much already. “We are thrilled to announce that not only are we launchingPersona 3– also with art by Shuji Sogabe – in English later this year,” Udon announced....

At least it’s now got a pretty sweet collector’s edition Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder if the job of a games journalist is to report on nothing but delays. I’m being facetious, but considering the frequency in which delays are announced or confirmed, it is a thought that crosses my mind every now and again. Not only has it recently been announced thatGravity Rush 2willnot be able to meet its previously-announced release date, but now XSEED Games have confirmed thatFate/Extella: The Umbral Starwill not be ready for release in winter 2016 in North America like originally planned....

In an interview in this week’s Famitsu, theCrisis Core: Final Fantasy VIIandThe 3rd Birthdaydirector revealed that while his plate is clean at the moment he has some ideas of what he’d like to work on next. If Tabata had his druthers, he’d like to work on a console game or a sequel toParasite Evespin-off,The 3rd Birthday....

The new content is focused on Japan’sWorld Wonder Ring Stardompromotion.Stardom was formed in 2010 by JDStar promoter Rossy Ogawa, retired pro-wrestler Fuka, and All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling star Nanae Takahashi....

The PS4 / PC beta should be here before long I’m with Steven — the ocean, pretty as it is, can also bepetrifying.What just brushed against me? The studio behindPenumbraandAmnesia: The Dark Descentis plunging into the depths withSOMA, its next horror title, and this is gonna be real bad, you guys. I mean good. But also bad. The sci-fi title is set on a remote underwater research facility in which machines have begun “taking on human traits and alien constructions have started to interfere with routine....

I’m tired of these motherfckin’ monsters on this motherfckin’ train In today’s giveaway, we’re giving out beta keys to bitchin’ card battlerMonster Train! I read somewhere a long time ago that Samuel L. Jackson refused to doSnakes on a Planeif they cut his monologue and made the movie PG-13. It led to one of the greatest moments in cinematic history. This has nothing to do with the topic at hand, of course, but I just like that story....

*Of games not developed by Valve A lot of people eagerly awaitedGrand Theft Auto V‘s debut on PC, and those same people turned up to play it as soon as they possibly could. When the game finally released on Steam yesterday, more than 300,000 players simultaneously transported themselves to Los Santos. That digital urban influx was great enough to grantGTA Vyet another record. Yesterday,Grand Theft Auto Vtook up the mantle of Steam’s most concurrent users in a single game for non-Valve developed titles....

Like most, I am a huge fan ofGoldenEye 64. It was my gateway drug into the wonderful world of first-person shooters. Hundreds of hours were wasted in “slappers only” multiplayer matches, causing the frame rate to come to a crawl by abusing remote mines, and exploiting the game in order to dual-wield a rocket launcher and the Golden Gun at the same time. A re-release of the Nintendo 64 classic will forever be in limbo, so developer Eurocom and publisher Activision went and re-imaginedGoldenEyefor the Wii instead....

Headlanderlooks fantastic. It feels like a space-themed spin-off of a primetime ’70s sitcom; thinkPartridge Family 2200 A.Dby way ofHighlander. To some of you, that comparison may come across as a slight, so what you also need to understand is that I eat that shit up. I was thus ridiculously excited by the mere prospect of this game. However, the game‘s PAX East demo fell short of encouraging. It’s not that it doesn’t play well, it’s that the demo did a poor job of selling the game....

PlayStation owners won’t miss out onSilksong A small piece ofHollow Knight: Silksongnews has dropped in today. The long-awaitedHollow Knightfollow-up will be coming to PlayStation platforms.
