Despite Electronic Arts bowing to the minority and “removing” the Taliban fromMedal of Honor, military base stores still plan to boycott the war-themed shooter on the grounds that it would still be disrespectful to sell the thing. The US military officially stated that it wouldn’t stock the game in its stores out of “respect to those touched by the ongoing, real-life events presented as a game.” One wonders if it the military had previously allowed the past twoModern Warfaregames which, let’s face it, were exactly the same but just carefully chose its names and locations....

Please understand Shortly after the Switch launched, folks started to experience the dreaded “drift.” It was a seemingly innocuous issue at first, but quickly became more widespread, indicating a clear flaw in the Joy-Con design.

Now, someone high up in the company is finally commenting on the fiasco publicly (rather than a vague “recent reports” faceless company statement) by way ofan investor Q&A this month....

I started out as a badass treasure hunter with a thirst for blood, and I finished the game as … well … a badass treasure hunter with a thirst for blood. My character hadn’t changed at all. After dozens of intense fire fights in the rugged wasteland of Pandora, you would expect my character to be bruised, battered and actuallylooklike he had done all the amazing thing that he did. Instead, he was exactly the same: both physically and emotionally....

Now set to launch on July 22, 2025 I don’t know what it says aboutOutridersthat I feel the need to exhaustively recount the details of this game every time I write about it. Maybe that I think the name is forgettable, maybe that I think it has a forgettable premise. Anyway, here goes: Outridersis the Square Enix-published shooter fromBulletstormdeveloper People Can Fly. It looks halfDestinyand halfGears of War, and it’s billed as one of those infinitely-running looter shooters....

I’m amazed they didn’t do Mercy first Blizzard’s popular online shooterOverwatchis no stranger to merchandising, and its catalogue of goodies is about to grow even bigger with the announcement that the brand is teaming up with Hasbro for a range of NERF guns based on its lovable cast of heroes and villains. For those less inclined, NERF produce “weapons” that fire out sponge projectiles and arrows. Originally launching in the very late ’60s, the toys blew up huge in the early ’90s and are still selling well today....

The new port is scheduled to drop digitally on Tuesday, August 23, according to Sony. I hesitate to even include this super short trailer.

Asspotted by Siliconera, Sony has filed a patent for software that aims to detect a range of human emotions with laughter being primarily emphasized.

The application would know what you were feeling at any given moment by detecting specific body gestures as well as group interactions such as two people giving each other a high five....

However, the company noted that mobile and digital PC titles “remained favorable.” Of everything Sega released in the last fiscal year, Creative Assembly’sTotal War: Rome 2did the best, moving 1.13 million units.
