Rock Band 4 to wipe leaderboards due to ‘gnarly bug’

That’s a cute way to put it I enjoyedRock Band 4for the most part, but that game shipped with a few issues that weren’t discovered or sorted out until after launch. Mostly relating to physical instrument troubles, but there was another bug that folks found that triggers double overdrive, and thus, a manipulation of the online leaderboards. To combat this “gnarly bug” Harmonix is going to reset all of the online rankings come January....

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is just as good as I remember

Atlus is bringing back a classic Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturneis criminally unloved. I mean, the real ones know, but as a whole, it’s one of the more forgotten JRPGs, with projects likePersona 4 Goldentaking the spotlight away from, well, most of Atlus’ back catalog. With Atlus’ new HD remaster, I think a lot of people are going to realize they’ve been sleeping on a classic. So let’s talk briefly about the big upgrades in the context of having hands-on experience with early access toNocturne HD....

The ‘which Aladdin game was better’ debate rages on with the upcoming Aladdin and Lion King classic collection

Out on October 29 The whole “whichAladdinis better, the SNES or the Genesis edition” debate will never end. It’s gone on so long (decades) thateven the developers have weighed in(spoiler: they vote for each other)! I’m firmly on the SNES side (Capcom platformers are generally cleaner, easier to pick up and play, and the animation, though safer, was more refined and better emulated the animation style of the film), but that amounts to nothing as far as the upcomingDisney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion Kingrelease is concerned....

This trailer for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is spooky

And that’s not just because it has a clown in it. Those suffering from coulrophobia look away now. In this new live-action trailer forThe Bureau: XCOM Declassified, we get another hint of the paranoid flavour of the game’s early 1960s setting. Young Kevin is watching his favourite clown on TV before being urged to go and play outside by his mother. Nice move, mom — now Kevin’s missed the best bit of the show and it’s not like he can see the clip on YouTube later!...
