As up and down as I can be with Remedy games, I maintain that it’s a studio to be treasured.

A new trailer for Yakuza prequel game Stranger Than Heaven premiered at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest. It ended with a perplexing announcement: Tupac is in it. That’s Tupac, as in Shakur, as in the legendary rapper who has been dead since 1996. His likeness is the last thing we see in the trailer with…
