Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu Itagaki, who died last week at the age of 58, was once famous for trolling his competitors in interviews. He listed Tekken 1-5 as his “most hated” games and had public “feuds” with Tekken’s Katsuhiro Harada and Devil May Cry’s Hideki Kamiya. While working on 2005’s Ninja Gaiden Black, he said…

Bloodlines 2 really lays it on thick with the collectibles, and Patience—the vampire who’s turned the backroom of Aurora Pawn into an art studio—has another list of items for Phyre to hunt. At least this one is shorter, as she only wants you to find nine Crosses of Saint James. Talk to Patience about her…
Battlefield 6 scored a lot of points with series fans when DICE announced that its cosmetics would be “grounded,” defying the norms of an FPS scene inundated with ugly crossover bundles. By the low standards of the time, it’s fair to say the studio has kept its word so far, but some fans think Battlefield…
An AP report says Cards Against Humanity has settled the $15 million lawsuit it filed against Elon Musk’s SpaceX in 2024 over allegations that the company trespassed on land it owns in Texas and, as CAH put it, “completely fucked” it. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Cards Against Humanity purchased the plot…
I thought Escape From Duckov was a bit. The animal-themed parody game is a model with a long history: Often free-to-play, typically packed with animal puns, and generally suffering from a faint sense that the joke started to wear thin for everyone involved a long time ago. But despite how Escape From Duckov presents itself,…
The latest big idea out of Steam Labs is a calendar—but not just any calendar! No siree, this is the “Personal Calendar,” which tracks new and upcoming games that Steam thinks might be of interest to you. How does Steam figure out what sort of new games you’re interested in? The magic of algorithms, of…
If you told the entire Battlefield 6 playerbase to submit their number one complaint to a suggestions box, the first slip of paper you’d pull out would definitely say “not enough big maps.” “Too much close-quarters in my all-out warfare game, gosh darn it,” is a drum that we’ve been collectively beating since the first…
A new update for No Man’s Sky, called Breach, introduces space wrecks, expanded ship building, and a unique expedition. It also arrives with a press release from your man Sean Murray, who immediately cranks up the organ and starts singing mournfully about the “tiny team” that’s “poured a lot of love into it”, which makes…
It may not make a lot of sense that your survivalist post-apocalyptic duck needs a rod to learn how to fish in Escape From Duckov, but neither does the rest of the fowl-filled apocalypse so I’ll roll with it (even if I think fishing minigames are the worst). As you’re getting your flippers under you…
