Splatoon’s Splatfest hasn’t gone to the dogs, new stages leaked

Nipples forever Splatoon‘s third U.S. Splatfest took place yesterday. It was a lot like the other two Splatfests, except for the inclusion of the two new weapons that were rolled out in the August 6th update, though I didn’t see them used as much as I thought I might. It looks like a lot of people stuck with the tools they knew best for this competition, though that didn’t stop me from getting splatted by a few buckets and Gatling guns here and there....

The Behemoth’s Game 5 is Alien Hominid Invasion

‘Vastly different’ from the original On a live stream this evening, The Behemoth announced Game 5, and I’m pleasantly surprised. The team behindCastle CrashersandBattleBlock Theateris going all the way back to its roots. The studio has been working onAlien Hominid Invasionover the “past 15 months or so.” It’s not a “remaster” or a “remake,” and it has solo and co-op support, but that’s all we learned from the stream. Rest assured, the YouTube trailer summary callsInvasionan “arcade shooter,” so it won’t be unrecognizable....

The Walking Dead Season 8 Recap: ‘Some Guy’

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe ‘Some Guy’ (TWD, s8e4) kicks off with Ezekiel calmly donning his persona, he’s indoors, and clearly not in danger. For a moment, it’s unclear if we’re viewing some time after the ambush that concluded last week’s episode, or if we’re getting a flashback. If I’m being completely honest, I was momentarily worried we were going to get an origin story episode, which the show (smartly) has steered away from in recent history....

Tomb Raider Remastered development was led by a fan modder

I’m highly skeptical of remasters and remakes. They tend to either feel underwhelming or,worse,to actually do a competent job that ends up replacing the beautiful memories we had of the original. I didn’t have either problem with the newTomb RaiderRemastered. Originally, I thought that was just because the game gave me the chance to pick between a respectfully improved version of the old, and a beautiful new vision for the classic, but there was more to it than just that....
