All is not well at Bandai Namco as the Japanese Studio is reportedly canceling projects involving IPs related to Naruto and One Piece licenses amidst layoffs. The reports of cancelations come right after the global success ofDragon Ball Sparking Zero, which has managed to meet fan expectations. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about several other games, some of which might have been under development. Asreported by Bloomberg, the Japanese studio is also facing a wave of fresh “layoffs,” and over 100 people might have already resigned....

Sometimes fashion is the true endgame When it comes to October, it’s pretty easy to come up with an idea forBloggers Wanted.Halloween presents a lot of options. People will start playing horror games and marathon scary movies, but then there’s the ultimate question for the day itself: “What am I going to wear?” Costumes are, after all, at the very heart of Halloween’s fun. Whether you’re playing a game with a canon character like Lara Croft, Spider-Man or a customized character inMonster Hunter Worldor an MMO, you’re still faced with the question of what are you going to look like....

For kids…right ::shifty eyes:: If you have kids and you want them to chill out for a while, you can try handing them a tablet withCamp Pokemonon it. It’s basically an iOS app with various Pokemon-related activities on it, and as of yesterday, it just added in some new games, mostly related to matching (which I am terrible at). More importantly though, the Chromecast device can now run Pokemon TV. Yeah, I totally haven’t watched a ton of classic Pokemon shows on that app…totally....

PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch In today’s contest we’re giving away PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch copies ofSuper Mega Baseball 3! I know sports are starting to tease returning at some point in the near future, but man we’ve missed out on a lot. This whole situation robbed us of the NBA and NHL playoffs, proved to be the second death knell for the massively unlucky XFL, and canceled America’s favorite post-winter activity: Spring Training....

As seen on All Games Beta, a fair amount ofHalo 4media — including screenshots, character renders, and concept art — has been floating around the Internet. I had hoped our residentHalofanboy Hamza would be the one to bring enthusiastic coverage of this stuff, but he’s a jerk. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that this latest installment is easy on the eyes. Maybe it’s the range of colors used, maybe it’s some other quality; for whatever reason, theHaloseries has always looked pretty good in still images....

Originally released for PS4 in the summer of 2019,Ericais an FMV adventure about a young woman attempting to unravel the grim history of her bloodline and its seemingly occult roots....

Look upon it and despair … in a good way! Some concept art forDark Souls IIhas appeared online, and while some fans may be worried aboutthe game becoming more“accessible,” they can at least be assured that the beautifully bleak visual style of the series shall remain preserved — at least if this art is an indication. Check out the gallery for decrepit chariots, rotting warriors, and things that look a bit like Necromorphs....

Through SoundCloud! That’s right! Don’t like those troublesome frames-per-second? Does opening your eyes reveal the truth in all things and the knowledge that we’re in the darkest timeline? Been there, man. It’s rough. But, that’s okay, becauseImpulseis the cure you need — now delivered conveniently in a compact mp3 format throughSoundCloud! So, if you enjoy a mini-podcast format and two people shooting the shit on various topics within video games, then you’re in the right place!...

Taking Link back to the 80s Domizuin Shrine is the type of shrine that, if you get confused, you can ruin the whole thing and need to start over. Think of it as the Rubik’s Cube of shrines inTears of the Kingdom. It might seem somewhat simple on the surface, but it’s easy to get turned around. We recommend reading the below instructions carefully to complete the shrine, each pillar needs to be activated an exact number of times and in the exact order listed below....

No Easter egg weapons, longer nights, tougher zombies, and less survivor’s sense. Sound like fun? No? Well, I guess that is kind of the point ofDying Light‘s Nightmare mode, part of the upcomingEnhanced EditionDLC. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to pony up the money for the DLC to “enjoy” the extra brutal difficulty level if you don’t want to, as our resident tall, dark, and spookyZack Furniss has already reported....

One of the weirdest examples of Kinect being used was withForza. You know, looking around, wandering around a car to see all of the little details. Which is interesting, because that very gimmick is used by Atari’s upcomingTest Drive Unlimited 2. However, if you watch the videos above, you’re able to see that Kinect has left its…touch…on the game in more than looking at cars. Even racing can be controlled with two fist held high, leaning forward and back....

That music. Those adorable sound effects. Motherf***ing Rock Pikmin! Oh my goodness,Pikmin 3is a real thing and, one day, I’ll get to play it. Many of youprobably know Chadas our resident series fanboy, but I’m right there with him. This is the one thing I wanted to see at E3 more than anything else. In addition to looking wonderful visually,Pikmin 3seems like it will be a perfect fit for the Wii U GamePad....

Electronic Arts couldn’t have asked fora better enemy in Zynga. The social game kingpin is not only in financial trouble, it’s also one of the most despised companies in the industry. EA must realize this, and has started sucking up to a game community that’s not been too fond ofeitherpublisher. “Last week I posted a note to explain why I felt the need to pursue legal action against Zynga for their blatant copying ofThe Sims Social....
