It will be pared down in the future I’ve heard nothing but good things about the LGBTQ focused convention GaymerX, and I had hoped to make it out at some point to see what it was all about. But according to the con’s official Twitter account, GaymerX2, set to take place from July 11th-13th, will be the last major event. Apparently the event grew too large too fast, and “the amount of money put into it became too much of a burden....

We’ve heard stories of game-related robberies before, but this one is pretty impressive if you ask me (and by impressive, I mean f*cked up). Last week in Southern Ontario, Canada in a small city called Mississauga, a guy (or a few guys) decided they’d like to have some Xbox 360’s — a lot of them, in fact. Around 4:00 in the morning, a truck containing roughly 1,300 of the consoles was stolen from a trailer yard....

‘Friends for eternity, loyalty, honesty…’ It has been announced by WayForward that there is a new DLC mini-adventure coming toShantae: Half-Genie Hero, one that will see players take control of the adorable protagonist’s pals Bolo, Sky and Rottytops. The DLC, titledFriends to the End, is considered canon, and takes place during the small moment in the main game which features “Nega-Shantae”. The side-adventure will see the trio of chums venture into Shantae’s head, to cast out the dark magic that is taking her over....

Plus a few other deals Plane tickets are expensive. If you want to go check out the Himalayas, you’re looking at several thousand dollars. “In this economy?!,” Steven might scoff. A more affordable route to world tourism is through Ubisoft’s rendition inFar Cry 4. It’s half-off on Amazon for the day, ringing in at a reasonable $30. That’s seems like a fair price for a honey badger to maul your face off....

PS4 players won’t need to pay again It has taken much longer than expected to reach this point, butwe’re now mere weeks out fromAxiom Verge‘s release on PlayStation Vita. It’s launching July 25, 2025, with a 10 percent discount available during its first week, and Cross-Buy support for the PlayStation 4 version. What was the holdup? “One analogy that I like to use when describing gettingAxiom Vergeworking on PS Vita is that of a lightbulb,” says designer Tom Happ....

For all its inventiveness, gameplay, and sheer wackiness,Dragon’s Dogma 2currently has a few skeletons in the closet, with the situation being so bad that the game’s review score fell off a sheer cliff once it hit Steam. Modders, however, have already attended to some of the game’s issues! Indeed, regardless ofwhetherDragon’s Dogma 2ever ends up resolving its problems, the PC modding community has already jumped at the opportunity to customize the game further....

J.B. Smoove joins The Replacers To celebrate the release of the upcomingCall of Duty: Black Ops II: UprisingDLC, Activison has produced a new “Replacers” video. This is a follow-up toRevolution‘soriginalvideo featuring Peter Stormare, this time adding J.B. Smoove to the mix. I’m a huge fan of Smoove, and I think he adds a lot to the bit. Treyarch always has a sense of humor about their games, and it helps me enjoy theirCall of Dutyiterations more-so than anything by Infinity Ward....

Box office round up Sorry, I had to force that headline, but if I don’t get to write terrible pun headlines what’s the point of all this? It’s a little true, too. WhileCrazy Rich Asiansisn’t pulling in Marvel money, its $25 million box office means that it only dropped 5.7 percent from last weekend. That’s basically unheard of. Most films lose 30-40 percent of their box office weekend week-to-week. Dropping just five is insane....
