Available to download now on PS4 and Nintendo Switch is ’80s fantasy platform adventureLegend of Makai.

Some! I said some! A couple of weeks ago, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel took a fewcomedic jabsat YouTube Gaming. While this would have normally been a forgettable, unfunny little skit, some folks in the gaming community decided to respond with an onslaught of negative comments wishing for Kimmel’s death. MattPhilip took a look at this, wrote a script, made a video, and borrowed my mouth for some words. Give more power to Jimmy Kimmel’s opinion (joke) by watching below!...

Here’s the workaround A recent patch for the excellent 2D action-adventure titleGuacamelee!has regrettably led to a game-breaking problem for players who load up a save fileafterearning Pollo Power. If you’re in a playthrough after that point, you will be permanently stuck in chicken mode upon transforming. As much as Iadore being a chickenin the game, that’s no good. Once the issue was found, the patch was understandably pulled. The current workaround,as described by DrinkBox Studios, is to deleteGuacamelee!...

Haha Super Mario Partyisn’t a huge leap forward for the franchise but it’s a welcome shift. For a long while the series was a shadow of its former self, and for the first time in years there’s promise. Nintendo is leaning into that resurgence with some new My Nintendo goodies. If you’re up for it, you can print some party hats (Luigi, Mario, Bowser, Peach and a logo), a dice block, or grab a wallpaper....

I’m no Samit Sarkar, but I can still recognize the serious lack of a downloadable, high-defNBA Jam. Hell, I’d be happy if they simply added online play and called it a day. By now, most of you should have seen theNBA Unrivaledtrailer up there. Don’t worry, it’s not your computer acting up — the animation really is that janky. Should you be blessed with the ability to stomach the visual tomfoolery, the game is 1200 MS Points and will be on PlayStation Network at some point....

Onion Gameshas announcedthat their anticipated joy-maker,Stray Children, is set to release (in Japan) on Switch July 17, 2025. We Canadians call that “Boxing Day.” As someone who isunreasonably affectionate towardChulip, I’ve followed Yoshiro Kimura for some time now. While I really enjoyedDandy Dungeon: Legend of Brave YamadaandBlack Bird, I’ve wanted to see him revisit the themes that made me fall in love with his work.Stray Childrenis definitely more in that direction, copping more than a little fromMoon: Remix RPG Adventure, a game he worked on during his time at Love-de-Lic....

I don’t typically let myself get hyped about games these days, but I’m ecstatic right now. I’m so pumped I could fight someone....

Awesomesode indeed! Hothead games has announced that the Windows, Mac and Linux versions ofPenny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 2has gone gold. No release date has been revealed as of yet, but it shouldn’t be too much longer. Unless, of course, you want to play it on your PS3. The PSN version of the game will be arriving “shortly” after it hits PC and XBLA. I watched the Hothead guys do a demonstration of this second installment at PAX and, while nothing startling was revealed, it’s looking pretty tight....
