It’s not very often that an epic award-winning game comes up at a truly incredible price, and when they do, you should definitely take advantage. Epic sagaFinal Fantasy XVI is one such game, and it’s going for cheap on Amazon right now. Usually, the PlayStation 5 version ofFFXVIsells on Amazon for around $50, but it’scurrently available for just under $25, making it half-price and the cheapest it has ever been on the shopping site....

I can’t get enough beat ’em ups Heart & Slashis currently very close toits Kickstarter goal, and for good reason — it looks like a pretty entertaining beat ’em up. The game takes place in a future where humans are no longer around, and instead, machines have taken up the mantle. You play Heart, a robot that wants more than just a meaningless existence, literally fighting the power by way of beat ’em up style gameplay....

Ah, theHelldivers 2Adjudicator weapon. A not-quite DMR, not-quite Assault Rifle, sent out to languish among other, actually useful guns by its creator, Arrowhead Game Studios. Well, one big ol’ balance patch later, and this is my new go-to primary rifle. Why are people flocking to the Adjudicator in Helldivers 2? From yesterday’s patch: The patch notes are minor-looking. Quaint, even. But don’t be fooled, dear reader, these aremeaningfulchanges. Enough to transform this once joke of a weapon into the bane of any enemy smaller than a mid-sized SUV....

It’s not like I have something againstAngry Birds SpaceorDraw Something(though the latter is getting kind of old already), but I really like Zach Gage’sword/puzzlegameSpellTower, and I’d really like to see this little game take down Zynga and Rovio. The reality is that it probably won’t happen, but that’s not stopping Gage from trying. He dropped the price of his game down to $0.99, and that helped the game hit #3 on the iTunes Store charts, right under the big guns....

Cyberpunk 2077is sizeable; no one’s contesting that. The specifics of justhowbig the game is, though, get a tad murky in some discussions. That’s especially true now thatCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyis officially out. This DLC, combined with the game’s massive 2.0 update, means that CD Projekt RED’s flagship FPS RPG has grown a fair bit since it first came outback in 2020. In other words, things changed, and today, we’re looking at a bigger, broader, and – dare we say it – better game thanCyberpunk 2077has ever been....

Rare mount hunters might be familiar with Thrayir’s design. The Stormcrow mount was datamined back inMists of Pandaria, but never made it into any official content. But now, the legend is real, and you can get your hands on this feathered friend! All it takes is a few trips to the Siren Isle during some turbulent weather. What You Need to Summon Thrayir This isn’t a simple boss drop, so prepare yourself for some legwork to summon this bad boy of the beach....

Tritium Hypercluster is a pure crystalised form of Tritium inNo Man’s Sky. The resource is an important ingredient inNo Man’s Skyfor those looking to install the Instability Drive technology in their starship. This upgrade greatly improves fuel efficiency for your starship, allowing you to travel further distances in the cosmos without having to worry about refuelling the hyperdrive too many times. Tritium Hypercluster is an item that needs to be broken down to retrieve the Tritium....

Also includes skin pack previously only available in Japan [Header fromThumbs and Ammo] It is but one item in a long list of ways Wii U owners have been getting shafted, but NetherRealm’s decision todelay all DLCfor the Wii U version ofInjustice: Gods Among Usuntil a nebulous “Summer” window was poopy nonetheless. These kinds of muck-ups are making it very easy for consumers toavoidWii U software, which seems counterintuitive to publishers’ quest to ensure that their games actually get sold....

They’ll still be handling the retro inspired prequel GoNintendospoke with a representative from ArtPlay, the main developer behindBloodstained: Ritual of the Night, theCastlevaniaspiritual successor coming from Koji Igarashi. The ArtPlay rep cleared up a few things in this title’s confusing development. Inti Creates is not involved in the development of the main game, but they are working on the retro inspired prequel mini-game. I don’t really see any reason to draw any negative speculation from this....

Dynasty Warriors x Legend of Zelda I mean, who would have thought we’d get a sequel to cult classicThe Warriorsthis late, and as a Nintendo cross over, no less? What’s next,How Hyrule?Fast Times at Ridgemont Hyrule? No, but seriously,Dynasty Warriors: The Warriors? That should happen. You already have similar looking enemy groups. There’s some newHyrule Warriorsinfo fromGo Nintendo(beyond Tecmohoping it sells a million). It’ll be playable at E3 despite no western release date....

Don’t worry, I have a permit for that It’s been a little over a week sinceAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsreleased and already a good chunk of new island reps have a groove going with how their island is developing. I’d bet that a lot of people, at the very least, have the plots figured out for around three new residents, or perhaps even upgraded Resident Services into a full-fledged building. ButAnimal Crossinghas always been a game about going at your own pace, so it doesn’t really matter what stage your island is at....

Fanboys, fanboys, what ya gonna do, what ya gonna do, when the come for you Police in Japan’s Akita Prefecture have arrested an unnamed man who reportedly made numerous threats against Nintendo, his latest being death threats against two Nintendo executives. The two executives who were targeted will remain unnamed, but previous threats include detailed bomb threats, such as this little note that reads: “I’d planted bombs at Nintendo headquarters, tomorrow afternoon they’re going to blow up, Nintendo go bankrupt....
