Da na na na Zeldais home to all sorts of fan-made oddities. Given that it’s undergone so many changes since its inception in 1986, I’ve pretty much seen it all. Granular merch like replica rupees of different denominations and even obscure items that are only in specific games, all the way up to your basic stuff like pieces of heart. But I haven’t really seen this one yet: a real lifeZeldaboss key that actually works....
Details on the ‘early purchase’ bonus Arslan: The Warriors of Legendis headed to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3 (digital only) on June 13, 2025.

We have a couch! Come join us live onDtoid.tv] Jordan and I simply cannot get enough ofAwesomenauts, the recently released 2D, side-scrolling MOBA from Ronimo Games. So, we’ve decided that we’re going to devote another show to playing the game in the event there’s anybody who hasn’t heard us shouting about how great it is....
Check that bad boy out. Mad Catz have just announced their newest Tournament Edition Fightstick today, and as you may see above, it features artwork fromMarvel Vs Capcom 2. Hot on the heels of theirFemme Fatalestick, this one will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 in Fall 2009. Mad Catz have been working closely with Capcom on these sticks, and both companies seem quite happy with the final result. Hopefully we’ll agree when we get our hands on them....
Spot-the-difference puzzle game with hints of I Spy and Harry Potter I found this game before I knew it was associated with a preteen dystopian adventurenovel, and whileThe Keeperstrilogy is far from being the nextHarry Pottercraze, it still looks like it could be a good gift for your young cousins or children. It also makes me want to rewatch the movieFrom the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler! As for the flash game ofMuseum of Thieves, it doesn’t appear to follow the novel much — if at all — and instead is a massive “spot the differences between these two images” puzzle quest....
Let me tell you something about nerds — they enjoy things that your average person would consider so devastatingly boring that they can’t even understand why we do it. Case in point: once a week, I playCuldcept Sagafor Xbox 360 with the guys in the picture above (better known as Conrad Zimmerman, Dale North and Hitorogoshi from Dtoid). And yes, we call ourselves Team Culdcept and play cards like Hypnosloth and Giant Rat....

This weekend will be the first beta event, open to everyone who pre-ordered the game alongside others who have reached a certain rank in “The Secret War social experience.” I assume the most hardcore ofSecret Worldfans are well aware of that, though. This first beta event is titled “Kingsmouth Calling” and will put you in the shoes of one of the Templar initiates....
A surprise hit from Shonen Jump + is getting its anime adaptation. The supernatural-and-extraterrestrial action-comedy mangaDandadanwillbe adapted into a TV anime series next year. If you haven’t heard ofDandadan, the elevator pitch is simple but effective. Two students, Ken Takakura (a.k.a. Okarun) and Momo Ayase, are at odds. The latter believes in ghosts, hailing from a family of spirit mediums. Takakura is obsessed with the occult—aliens, cryptids, and such. Both stubbornly agree to visit locations where the other believes supernatural experiences have occurred....
Hello darkness, my old friend Ikarugais one of those games that can’t be ported enough. The vertical shoot-’em-up is a bona fide gem, the kind of shmup that even people who “don’t really mess with shmups” can learn to love. A recent listing with Germany’s ratings board suggests that we’ll see the game again before long, and its next stop is going to be on PlayStation 4. Treasure is handling the port, according to the USK....

For more details, check out ourReviews in Progress program.] As we all know, MMOs can drastically change not only over the course of months of updates, but even from level to level. We have already given you an early look atthe first 20 hours or so of the game, but as I climb the ladder of leveling more and more starts to open up....
It’s another excuse to reference ‘Bart vs. Australia,’ for starters Two years ago, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) launched a legal challenge against Valve over its treatment of Australian users of its Steam service between the dates of May 23, 2025 and June 25, 2025 (when the case first went to court). The rationale was that due to the company’s explicit policy of refusing to give refunds to buyers of goods that may be defective, Valve was in violation of Australia’s consumer laws....
With Sony’s famouslawsuit against GeoHotstorming headlines this year, Sony has earned itself a reputation for being against console customization. The company is a villain among the modding community, who believe Sony stands against the freedom to do whatever one likes with their property. According to Sony boss Jack Tretton, however, that perception is wrong. Sony may be anti-piracy, but it’snotagainst you modifying your PS3 in the name of innovation. “No, there’s a real misnomer there, we embrace independent game development,” he said, “If you call that hacking, then we embrace that....
