There’s enough support out there It all started out so innocently enough, didn’t it? The rhythm genre had a few hits, thenGuitar Herocame along, and there was just a few guitars to juggle. ThenRock Bandcomplicated things by adding more plastic to the heap, and with each iteration, more and more “pro” instruments (and the keyboard, RIP) came into the mix. It’s nearly impossible to keep track of, but we have a full/comprehensive list forRock Band 4andRock Band 4 Rivals....

The 17,497thAteliergame is the 17,496th to be localized. People keep buying these, so Koei Tecmo keeps bringing them over.

It was released on PS Vita in Japan but not PC, whereas in the west it will be on PC but not Vita....

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear… [Photo] Now that 2015 is officially over and there’s definitely no more massive holidays to attend or anything like that everyone’s going to start getting all retrospective and I’m going to kick it off by waxing nostalgic forMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Gosh, what good times those were, a few months ago, huh? Much better thanFallout 4. Anyways, I remembered this thing I forgot to share to all of you good little girls and boys per the holiday spirit and my community service sentence....

Tiger…broke! A giant detailed statue of Dracula fromSymphony of the Nightin his “what is a man” pose? I could probably shell out a decent amount of cash for that. But Sagat clutching his scarred chest? $1000 is probably way over my limit. That’s just what PCS Collectibles is charging though, so if you’re really into the Muay Thai master you can nab one when pre-orders go up tomorrow. Note however that the $1K pricetag is for the classic Sagat look, so if you want the headband sans-eyepatch model or the arms-crossed mold you’ll need to shell out $1,149....

Dear Entertainment Software Association, Last year, when free speech in the videogame industry was threatened, you asked for help from gamers. The famousBrown v. EMA/ESAcase provided a landmark ruling that protected videogame content under the First Amendment. You appealed to gamers for their support and coverage, and many gamers rallied around the industry. Now, when free speech at large is threatened, you not only refuse to fight the threat, you actuallyjoin forces with it....

As the tenth anniversary for theAssassin’s Creedfranchise draws closer, it’s hard to imagine the series has been around for so long. I was two years out of high school when Altair and Desmond first made their appearance on then-new consoles, and it was a world I was very much interested in exploring. Fast forward eight years later and after several installments, I’d still like to think of myself as a fan of the series....

Atari is trying to dig itself out of its hole with casual and web-based gaming.

Their goal is to attract independent devs and distribution partners to their GO initiative. They’ll revamp old games and make new ones, and then work to get them embedded on popular websites through a revenue sharing program....

When Appleunveiled its iPhone 15 Prolast September, it also announced the device would be capable of running some major AAA video games, includingtheResident Evil 4remakeandAssassin’s Creed Mirage. While certainly impressive and a great way of drawing attention to the iPhone 15 Pro, I had to wonder how much demand there was for such games to see native mobile ports. Turns out the answer is not a lot. Recently,Mobilegamer.bizshared an analysis, based on estimates by Appfigures, on the performance of the mobile ports ofResident Evil 4,Resident Evil Village,Assassin’s Creed Mirage, andDeath Stranding....
