In an awesome show of caring, nearly 500 individual events were held across 41 countries. Around 17,000 people came together to bag up waste in their local areas....

Cinderella Story At E3 2019 this year, I had the distinct honor of sitting down with Kazuki Hosokawa (producer forJudgmentandYakuza) from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and asking him about the future of the series and how each game gets made. As well as getting some insight into the development process, I learned that Hosokawa gets his best ideas while sitting in the bathtub. While he wouldn’t confirm if he sipped on champagne while doing so, I now like to believe he lives exactly like the characters he creates....

It’s coming to PS4 and Xbox One (with Pro and X enhancements) on March 20. It’ll run at 1080p by default, or in 4K with said enhancement-capable machines. Evidently all of the DLC from the original will be included, which involves two bonus missions, two packs that include a jumbled set of items, and outfits — one of which is brand new and pays homage to Bayek from the newly mintedAssassin’s Creed Origins....

See how to create custom contracts I can hardly be the only one who gets tired of seeing unimaginative trailer after trailer, which is why this video forHitman: Absolutionis so great. It’s approximately 18 minutes of IO Interactive demonstrating the game’s Contracts mode, where players create their own custom hits for others to attempt. While I’m sure there will be some truly absurd challenges to come from the community, in order to create a contract, you have to actually play through it yourself....

Uncertain, but certainly likely For the entirety of its existence,Pokemon‘s main games have been on portable systems.

Just in time for Halloween A lot of people citeSuper Metroidas the first game that showed them how tense and isolated videogames can make them feel. For me, that realization came four years earlier when I picked upSplatterhouseon the Turbografx-16. LikeSuper Metroid, it didn’t seem to care that it was a videogame. It wasn’t afraid to do things that games were not expected to do, things that few believed were strengths of the medium at the time....
