Cliffy B, honcho behind theGears of Warseries,recently became a free agent. Meanwhile at Capcom,Resident Evil 6has been collecting some ofthe worst reviewsin the series history, largely due to the game’s arguably failed attempts to play like other popular Western shooters (includingGears of War). It’s like if Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson just had abig fight, then Justin Bieber conveniently became single and bumped into Kristen at the clubat the exact same time....

Get to the deal choppa In a rare non-Steam Summer sale moment,Counter-Strike: Global Offensivehas a discount. Green Man Gaming just put up a price tag of $11.29 which is 25% off the usual $14.99. It’s not amazing, but given the game sells so well Valve hardly ever puts it on sale. While this discount is not as hot as the 50% off deal back in June, it still represents a rare price break forGlobal Offensive....

Get a talking Peter Dinklage Destinyis getting multiple versions because that’s just what gaming companies do nowadays. This latest video here detailsthe differences between theLimited Edition and the Ghost Edition. The Ghost Edition is the big one, as it includes all the content of the Limited Edition, plus some exclusive digital items, and the Expansion Pass which includes two DLC packs. Oh, and it has a replica Ghost figure with lights and voice recordings from Peter Dinklage....

Why or why not As a general rule, I play online games by myself if at all possible. InFinal Fantasy XIV, the game I’ve been playing most lately due to the release of the recentHeavenswardexpansion, I politely declined most groups to tackle the main story quest by myself, and only grouped when I needed to for dungeons and trials. Once I’m all geared up and maxed out though (my Paladin is full i180 with some i190 peppered in there), I like to rejoin civilization, and when I can, help people out....

I’d prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around It seems that there are more interesting-looking free games hitting the PC lately than I have time to play. The latest free game you’re able to check out isThe Path of Shadows, a stealth-based game of assassination where the player controls shadows. It was created by five students from Spain, and they havesubmitted it to IGF. Their plan was to create a twenty-minute-long demo that would show off their skills....

Among the list of upcoming titles for the new Wii U console shown at today’s Nintendo E3 press conference wasNinja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. And, just below the title, the video lists Nintendo as the publisher. I don’t really know what that means, as I don’t understand why Tecmo Koei wouldn’t just publish it themselves — as they did withthe originalversion’s release in March for PS3 and Xbox 360. Unless, of course, Nintendo decided they needed more hardcore games on their platforms and the only way it was going to wind up there was if Nintendo threw money at the problem....

Single player content coming very soon While Arika’s scrappy fighting titleFighting EX Layeris a lot of fun, its definitely considered an underdog in the current crop of fighting games. Not helping is the fact that the game has launched withverylittle offline content, even the most rudimentary vs CPU option. That’s set to change, however, as earlier this morning Arika held a live stream to show off a new Arcade Mode, currently in development for the PS4 title....

Once again, my Googling skills have failed me — I couldn’t find any screenshots for this week’s forgotten game outside of a few screens I borrowed fromACG. You’ll have to make do with the Mr. Creosote sketch for now. Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, the third and final Monty Python game by 7th Level, spends about a third of its running time replicating the events of the film, another third as a challenging but surreal afterlife-themed adventure title, and the final third as a completely nonsensical, borderline-impossible exercise in nonsense....

Batman still going strong even after all these years GameStop is celebrating Batman’s 75th year with several events atGameStop Expo 2014.

Ikuze! It’s an absolute crime that we got so few titles from theGanbare Goemonseries in the West. Not that all of them were terrific, but they almost always tried new things and were usually enjoyable. We didn’t see our first until the third (Fourth? Fifth? It’s complicated) game in the series, localized as 1992’sLegend of the Mystical Ninjaon SNES. While the originalGanbare Goemonon Famicom got the series off to a good start, it would be 1989’sGanbare Goemon 2that would establish one of the franchise’s hallmark features: simultaneous co-op....

Annoyingly, it seems like GameStop is taking in-store only orders in the US at the moment Last week, CapcomrevealedMonster Hunter Riseand three new amiibo:which were curiously shown off via artist renderings. Thanks to some detective work from Twitter user Gajinhunter, we now know what they actually look like, and the reality is quite different. As a reminder, these three amiibo (as standalones) are exclusive to GameStop in the US, and have varying degrees of exclusivity elsewhere in the world....
