Hey Ash, Whatcha Playing: the mid-season break

Ignoring the goofy, not-strictly-videogame-related video above, I have some business to share: Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’ (join our Facebook group!) will be taking a short hiatus. This week’s HAWP pays pretty direct reference to a current film. I won’t say which one — finding out is part of the surprise — but if you’re worrying about being spoiled, it becomes pretty evident which film Ash is talking about after ten seconds....

More Project Natal at Gamefest 2010

I don’t know why anyone would need more convincing that Project Natal was for the sexy in crowd after seeingNick “Sexy In Crowd” Chester rock it at the Tokyo Game Show, but I suppose that aside from a few awkwardly twisted Avatars and a game where people hit balls at blocks we haven’t really seen that much of Microsoft’s “future of gaming and everything ever.” Not to fear, more shall come — just not directly for the public....

New Dementium trailer baffles and amuses

I can’t wait to playDementium: The Ward. I’ve hadhigh hopesfor the horror shooter for a good while now, and after Hamza’simpressionsfrom EIEIO were largely favourable despite a couple of niggles, my desire to be blowing the faces off zombies through my DS has continued to grow. This new trailer though, boggles me. I just can’t pin down what mood they were going for with it at all.It starts out well enough....

New Kane & Lynch: Dead Men trailer

I’ve been looking forward to this game since thefirst few screenshots were released nearly one year ago. Finally a new trailer has arrived on the Internets and I really like the premise of it. Those two psychopaths kind of remind me of the “Gecko Brothers” from From Dusk Till Dawn and as you’re able to seein the first trailer, the game also seems to be inspired by Michael Mann movies, which is pretty awesome if you ask me....

Overwatch parody short hilariously, terribly accurate

Not so fast, brother I am totally into what Blizzard is doing withOverwatch’sanimated shorts. They flesh out the characters, build up theOverwatchworld, and looker baller as hell. I am a big, big fan of cyber ninja fights. That said, they are alitttttlebit predictable. So predictable, YouTuberKrunkidileanimated his own creepily accurate version of the most recent episode,Dragons, before it even came out. Some of the details are a little hit or miss, but I think he nailed the essence of it....

Oxenfree’s getting free DLC, PS4 version out today

One of the best adventure games I’ve ever played Oxenfreeis easily one of my favorite games this year (check out my collector’s edition cooler in the header), as it feels tailor made for those who love dark ’80s adventure flicks, spooky stories, and eerie pop synth. Now the game is getting even better, or at the very least a bit longer, as developer Night School Studio has released some free story-based DLC for it....

Pokemon Home just added some welcome quality of life changes

Better sorting for all Still usePokemon Home? Well, it’s slowly morphing into a more function app, due in part to the most recent update: 1.2.1. Live now on mobile (and likely Switch at some point today), the new patch quite literally patches up some lingering issues, mostly in terms of quality of life changes. Search filters should now be more accurate (which is great considering the sheer number of Pokemon out there now), including searches for mythical creatures....
