‘Technical issues’ and ‘legal/contractual’ problems were cited So cross-play is all well and good. A lot of people have been asking for it for years, and finally, Sony, in the most Sony way possible, relented, in some cases. It’s goodenoughfor some folks. But what about cross-progression? Ah, that’s kind of important too! Players generally want to actually…use all of the skins they’ve acquired and/or purchased over the years if they play on multiple platforms....

First impressions/hands-on We gave you our impressions from the very first look atBatman: Arkham Knightback in March, but now we’re back with a twist. That Batmobile we talked so much about? Yeah, it’s great. Cruisin’ around Gotham and blowing up sh*t is never going to be anything but great. But they were holding out on us: The Batmobile can transform into a freakin’ tank! We already knew that the new Batmobile was designed to go fast and bring the hurt in a hurry, but the trick up its sleeves is that it transforms into a tank, armed with cannons and other crazy weaponry....

Ready for battle In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not exactly the MOBA guy around here. Off the top of my head, I’m not sure that I’ve ever written aboutLeague of LegendsorDota 2.I wrote aboutParagononcebefore we ever knew whatParagonwas, so that hardly counts. Yet, here I am talkingHeroes of the StormbecauseOverwatch‘s Zarya is in it. That’s kind ofHeroes of the Storm‘s thing — it brings together characters from all of Blizzard’s properties and mashes them up in a MOBA....

Tony’s Hawk Pro Skater I am enamored withSkatebird, an appropriately-titled skateboarding video game that’s releasing on Steam and – as announced today duringthe Indie World showcase– Nintendo Switch in 2020.

If you’re up to the challenge, you have my express permission to adapt the lyrics from Avril Lavigne’s 2002-as-hell “Sk8er Boi....

Specifically, the moment I’m referring to happens at2:07:30, when an intoxicated man jumped up on stage and wanted to thank all of the montage winners. No, really —all of them. A noble cause, to be sure, but a misguided one, perhaps. Chris Hardwick did an admirable job hosting the ceremony, particularly in this would-be moment of crisis....

We’ve got Switch and Xbox One keys up for grabs What you you do for the king? Enter today’s contest for a Switch or Xbox One copy of RPGFor the King! Somewhere around the end of the PS2/beginning of PS3 era, RPGs turned their collective backs on the turn-based combat system, opting for the more action-RPG battles found in MMOs. That sucks.
