iam8bit ghosts like Pac-Man The latest company to pull out of E3 is one that’s more integrally attached to the show than the likes of Sony or EA ever were. The ESA is making efforts toturn E3 into something more akin to a festival, and part of that is transforming the whole floor experience. Production company iam8bit was recruited as creative directors in charge of this new E3. Approximately a month afterthe partnership was revealed, iam8bit has backed out of the project....

Updated: July 02, 2025 We searched for new codes! InEmergency Response: Liberty County, you have to get a job and work. I started my career in a fast-food place, but that ended quickly. Instead, I soon became a cop. Fighting crime and saving civilians for cash was much more satisfying. Still, working in law enforcement is not that lucrative. If you’re struggling, you can always earn extra bucks by redeemingEmergency Response: Liberty Countycodes....

I’ve seen dogs do crazier shit for food I’ve written about gamesfeaturing catsbefore. Cats are alright, I suppose. A bit finicky. Morose. Horrible, sometimes. Dogs, though? Dogs are where it’s at. They’re loyal, they drool on your head when you’re sleeping and lie on top of you even though they’re 50 lbs. and it’s really not comfortable. But oh well, they’re dogs so nobody cares. They’re truly the best. So here’s good news for fellow dog lovers and Switch owners:Puzzle Puppersis coming to the Switch!...

One is automatic TheFinal Fantasy VII Remakehas at least one summon linked to pre-orders (Carbuncle): we’re not going to talk about those. Instead, here are the ones you can earn through playing the campaign. How summons work Here’s a bit of text to break out the potential spoiler portions below, though they were mostly already spoiled in trailers for the game. Each party member gets one “summon slot” that is placed on the right side of their materia grid....

I remember back when I was too stupid to realize the truth behind Nintendo Power. I read preview after preview, writeup after writeup on forthcoming Nintendo 64 games and was totally won over by the writers’ enthusiasm. “Man!,” I thought. “Every game coming out on the N64 looks so goddamn good! How lucky I am to own the best next-gen system on the market!” Confident that Nintendo Power was not, in fact, a steaming, incestuous cesspool of pro-Nintendo propaganda, I bought into the hype forHybrid Heavenwithout reservation or apology....

Back in the 1980s, my mother chose to purchase a Nintendo Entertainment System for her very first home console. Meanwhile, her sister took the road less traveled and bought a Sega Master System. While the NES remained my favorite source of videogames during the 8-bit era, I enjoyed the trips to my aunt’s because I could play her strange black and red videogame box. Even though I could not comprehend all the technical differences between the two systems at the time, I could tell that the Master System was something special....

I know what you’re thinking. No sh*t, Sherlock.God of War IIIis a really violent game, lots of bones get broken in it. I would agree. A post aboutGod of War IIIbeing violent would be kind of idiotic at this point, but I’m not talking about fake bones, I’m talking about real ones. Some guy was playingGoW IIIso hardcore that he broke two fingers. A doctor/reader over atGizmodosent in a radiograph showing off the broken hand and its two fractures....

Whaddya buying? Hey, this is Hot Take! It’s another new Destructoid video series! New videogames come out all the time, and we want to show you what it’s like to play them; think mini-Let’s Plays. Our inaugural episode isDying Light, the hot new Techland joint. There’s parkour, zombies, big zombies, stinky zombies, and flying zombies. That sounds like a real GOTY contender to me!

It’s Always Sunny at Nintendo Earlier this week, Nintendo’sShigeru Miyamoto claimedhis company had failed to “communicate the value” of the Wii U to consumers, a turn of phrase that struck me as quite amusing. As a fan ofIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, all I could think of was the first stage of Dennis Reynolds’ system of seduction, the D.E.N.N.I.S. System, whereby he “demonstrates value” to sucker a woman into falling for him....

GO FISHINGis pretty simple, isn’t it? You cast your rod, reel in the fish, you catch a rare one, and you sell your haul. Simple, right? WRONG! There is an almost secret mechanic in the game that gives WAY MORE GOLD, and you likely aren’t even aware of it. No, you don’t have to spend any real money to activate this, and it’s not something you have to unlock. This is just something the game has but doesn’t tell you about....
