A rejected song written by the experimental indie-pop group Animal Collective for Rockstar Games’ open world Western game Red Dead Redemption surfaces online. Those who have had the pleasure of experiencing Rockstar Games’ seminal open world release of Red Dead Redemption through to its completion would certainly attest to the title’s fantastic score and soundtrack. Surely, most would argue that the indie folk singer-songwriter José González’s tune “Far Away” and the band Ashtar Command’s “Deadman’s Gun” are both songs that perfectly encapsulate the game’s ethereal, yet gritty Western aesthetic....

This action-packed shooter adventure has had its fair share of big and small boss fights. Some of those include cool, large looking creatures that make you wonder what their story is while others are… somewhat unpleasant and unsettling things. Anyone whose played Remnant: From The Ashes already has a list lined up in their head of the nastiest bosses they’ve encountered! Though everyone’s list may be different, especially due to the games randomly generated worlds, this is our top 5 most mystifying and most weird bosses!...

Yusuke appeared in the second palace of Persona 5, making him one of the most developed characters in the original game. He attends a different school from the rest of the group and is an artist. His mother made the famous painting Sayuri, and he is following in her footsteps by creating unique art and having a little interest in distractions. In Strikers, Yusuke is now a third-year who seems to have grown even stranger....

Of the many weird and wonderful bosses that players will encounter throughout Persona 5, Sae is definitely the most personable. Sae Niijima turns out to be one of the most unique personalities that pops up in the whole story. She has the distinct role of being around even after the fight, helping the thieves in their mission. Her help doesn’t come without a lot of effort though; the team has to take on her formidable shadow before she’ll be of any help....

Persona 5 Royal introduces the ability to enhance and teach skills to your teammates’ personae, allowing for a greater freedom in party composition. This mechanic works via inviting your teammates for non-alcoholic cocktails at a jazz club located in Kichijoji. Jazz Jin, the venue in question, can be located once Kichijoji is unlocked via a story-related outing with Ryuji on 6/5. You can’t start calling your friends up for drinks immediately, however— you have to unlock the ability to enter the club via the rank 4 event of the Justice confidant....

PlatinumGames created the Platinum 4 website in early 2020 to talk about its upcoming projects, and that quickly become the home for all the studio’s most prevalent announcements over the last year. From revealing the existence of the Wonderful 101 Remastered to announcing its decision to begin self-publishing, it has become a hub for the developer to announce its new ventures and build hype with its fanbase. The studio has thus far revealed four announcements on the page, and many assumed that would be all it had to offer considering the cryptic “4” in the site’s title....

Pokémon Shield and Sword are headed to the Switch in November, rejoice! While many fans cannot wait to get their hands on the titles, others are a bit more apprehensive. While the pair of titles will be bringing many great updates to the series, they also seem to almost be taking models from N64 games, so there certainly is some cause for concern. There are just a few things that should have been fixed with the leap to the Switch....

With 55 ice-type Pokémon to choose from, it can often be impossible to pick a favorite. So why not let the year you were born dictate your perfect companion. You’ve chosen your preferred type, now comes the bigger and much harder decision, what Pokémon to put in your roster. There is such a wide variety of choices that many often leave it down to the first one they find or the cutest....

Shelmet is one of those odd Pokémon that depends on another Pokémon to reach its full potential. It has a special bond with Karrablast, and by special bond we mean Karrablast eats Shelmet. Seriously. Per the Pokédex: “It spits a liquid from its mouth to melt through Shelmet’s shell. Karrablast doesn’t eat the shell— it eats only the contents.” What’s odd, though, is that Shelmet also relies on Karrablast to evolve....

As expected, Niantic is finally ready to kick off Adventure Week 2018 in Pokemon GO. The latest event to hit the mobile AR game puts a focus on Rock-type monsters and exploration.

PDT and runs through June 5....

We sit down to chat with the senior narrative designer behind Quantum Break, Greg Louden, about how the live-action television show ties into the actual game. Those anticipating the arrival of Quantum Break have been doing so for quite some time now. The previously Xbox One exclusive, which is now arriving for Windows PC, has kept gamers in suspense during its four and a half year development cycle, so some may have been disillusioned with the lengthy wait....

Ubisoft releases the official notes for the February 21 Rainbow Six Siege patch, which comes only weeks after the Velvet Shell content update was introduced. Earlier this month, the second year of Rainbow Six Siege content kicked off with Velvet Shell, the Spanish-based update which introduced both a bold counter-roaming attacker and a defender who immediately changed up defensive tactics as a whole. In the weeks since, Ubisoft has evidently been hard at work ensuring content both new and old performs at its best, even if February has been a particularly rough month for the company’s servers....

There are several different reasons why you would want to carry out a reverse people search. Looking to reconnect with an old dating partner? Retrace your family tree? Find out if your neighbour has a criminal past? These days, just about anyone can strap on a detective hat and call themselves Sherlock Holmes, as it has never been easier to investigate and locate anyone with just a click of a button....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece of luxurious open-world design. With every nook and cranny filled with detail, this fading wild west is easy to get lost in for hours on end. It isn’t just visual detail, however, that makes this such an impressive experience, but also the believably ridiculous non-player characters that the player meets along the way. In fact, large parts of Red Dead Redemption 2 have more in common with Animal Crossing than any Assassin’s Creed, and that’s because this open-world rewards the player for slowing down and taking the time to listen....

Following the announcement that Red Dead Redemption was coming to the Xbox One via backwards compatibility, sales of the open-world western have soared by nearly 6000%. Ever since its release in 2010, Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption has been deemed a classic by many fans, so much so that it is easily one of the top games of the last generation. While not everyone has the chance to play the game, this will soon be rectified following Rockstar Game’s recent announcement that its acclaimed open-world title would be coming to Xbox One by the way of the console’s backwards compatibility program....

In the aftermath of the popular game releases of Quantum Break and Alan Wake, the developers at Remedy Entertainment announce a new project for the year 2019. This upcoming multiplayer/single-player project has been given the unofficial title of Project P7. Remedy Entertainment has been producing highly ambitious projects such as the aforementioned Alan Wake and Quantum Break and yet their number of developments continue to rise. Despite the rate of their releases, however, the hope is that this new project will meet or exceed the quality present in the developer’s past projects....

Our quick take Remington Titanium 360 F5790 shaver - 3.5 / 5 Charging times were reasonable with a full charge taking 2 hours with the 5 minute quick charge feature being of particular interest. This claims to give you enough juice for one full shave - giving a second chance to anyone who has not heeded the power bar’s red hue and needs to look half decent for work. Despite its rather vague claim (the time taken for one full shave clearly depending on the recipient of said shave) this performed pretty well and due to the razor’s improved performance meant that our faces were left more or less bristle-free by the time the razor started to slow....

Developer Gunfire Games confirms that its shooter RPG, Remnant: From the Ashes, has been a huge success. While the developer is preparing to launch the game’s Subject 2923 DLC on PC and consoles next month, more content for the series is possible. In a new interview, Gunfire Games revealed that Remnant: From the Ashes sales have now hit 1.6 million copies since launch. Gunfire Games design director John Pearl also said that the development team was “really surprised by how well it was received” as the developer was independent until days before the game launched on PC....
