Trust me on this one. Here’s the full Games with Gold lineup for next month: On a related note, Mark Brownjust did a great videoabout howOvercooked‘s level design and mechanics encourage constant communication between partners and why that makes it such a wonderful co-op game....

I’m a fan ofThe Jace Hall Show, and I’m not just saying that because Hall is twice my size and could splatter my head like a watermelon with his gigantic hands. The online gaming show is genuinely entertaining, hitting developers behind-the-scenes and chatting with “just like me and you” celebrities who play the videogames all the kids are talking about. The second season of the show — split up across 13 new episodes, and available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Sony’sCrackle service— is upon us....

For starters, outside of festivals and special events, the game will now quick save when you close the app. Fishing is slightly easier than before and there are multiple control options, including a digital joystick and button, that players can switch between on the fly. Not every control option is equal — the invisible joystick and buttons can be frustrating — but these additions are only improving an already great game....

Is the 100-Summon inDevil May Cry: Peak of Combata good deal?No. It’s absolutely not, for several reasons. I can’t in good conscience explain how this microtransaction works without plainly, explicitly clarifying that this is something you should never buy under any circumstances. We good? Good. Basically, the 100-Summon inDevil May Cry: Peak of Combatlets you perform 10 10-pull summons in a row. Each of these appears to have a guaranteed weapon or hero at the highest rarity, based on my results....

James Farr, possibly the coolest dad ever, likesPortal, and so does his son. So they gave his bedroom and adjoining bathroom a themed makeover. This isn’t the first time that a fan has expressedincredible creativity, and like the others who have come before, this is neat. James’ son, Vector, clearly enjoys showing off his pimped out bed and bathrooms and, not going to lie here, I’m a little jealous (but not of the camera, I don’t like the idea of GLaDOS watching me)....
