As if we needed any further evidence of the incompetence of parents in America, here we have another mother with a complete inability to control her spawn. A 14-year-old boy wouldn’t stop playing videogames, so what did his mother do? Turn the TV off? Instill some sort of discipline? No, shecalled the cops! 49-year old Angela Mejia discovered a light coming from her son’s room at 2:30am and, upon entering, discovered him playing videogames....

Just swap regions Phantasy Star Online 2just arrived on Switch, but wait! There’s caveats. First off it’s only available on the Japanese eShop, which isn’t that big of a problem if you have a cross-region account — though the Japanese text might give you some trouble (this is assuaged with the PC edition’s unofficial localization patches). Next, it’s actually calledPhantasy Star Online 2: Cloud, because it’s a cloud-based platform that’s allowing you to play....

As the inevitable release ofProject Zomboid‘s Build 42looms somewhere overhead, the community has grown frustrated with the developer The Indie Stone’s apparently slow production pipeline. It’s easy to forget just how longProject Zomboidhas been lumbering along, but is the snail’s pace warranted? Obviously, nothing could possibly justify some of the worst and most useless “critique” that’s recently been directed in The Indie Stone’s general direction. Things have gotten so dire at some points, in fact, that one of the lead developers evenconsidered sellingProject Zomboidoff to the highest bidder, just to rid themselves of the burden of its development....

Kind of like those retro demakes Back in 1996,Sonic 3D Blastturned theSonicworld upside down. Providing an isometric camera angle, the Genesis/Saturn title was polarizing in part due to its perspective shift: which is why this fan project sought to reconfigure it to be more in line with the classics. Cleverly titled “Sonic 3D in 2D,”this project from Sotaknuckprovides 15 acts across eight zones, as well as classic items, three playable characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles), a physics engine that’s “close to the Genesis games,” and Easter eggs....

Dreamcast, Saturn, and Megadrive go to school The first episode of the new Sega-themed animeHi*sCool! SeHa Girlshas launched. As a diehard Sega fan, and a gamer that still uses his Sega consoles, I watched this adaptation of a ridiculous light novel weekend andloved it. Of course. If you were, say, a Nintendo kid, or have an unreasonable hate towards goofy/pointless anime, you might should avoid. Otherwise,go check it out. It is currently streaming on Crunchyroll in North America....

He always picks Bulbasaur Snoop Lion’s taking the struggle from Compton to Pallet Town, and trading in the corners where fiends are slangin’ rock for the streets filled with Rare Candy. They’re equally dangerous though; take your pick between everyone carryin’ a Glock and everyone packin’ a Golem.

Wait, that might be an elk Spiritfarerwas announced at Xbox’s E3 press conference and…you kinda just have to watch the trailer. It looks neat in a way where I have no idea what it’s about. Maybe it’s your jam! Spiritfarerwill premiere in Xbox Game Pass at launch, so there’s some extra incentive. I’m sure we’ll find out more before long.

VR and non-VR players can even team up With today’s PC and PS4 update, Ubisoft’s social space simStar Trek: Bridge Crewno longer requires players to use a virtual-reality headset. If you’ve been trying to talk your friends into playing (or vice versa), that conversation should be simpler now. VR and non-VR players can form a crew together. This should definitely help get some fresh blood in the matchmaking system. The update also includes “graphical enhancements that were created specifically for non-VR,” according to game director Brian Tate, who adds that “if you have a high-end PC, you can enable these features and get an even more graphically impressive experience in virtual reality....

For many gamers, the Sony PlayStation wastheintroduction to the wonderful world of video games. With good reason, as Sony’s first true foray into the industry was more than just a console, it was a phenomenon. The release of the PlayStation was the first time the mainstream ever saw video games as “cool”. It was the first time that Terry from Five-a-Side played video games without worrying about being a “nerd”. Sony, through great design, clever marketing and excellent licensing, made the first-ever console that didn’t carry the (narrow-minded) stigma that gaming had held for generations....

He doesn’t draw it — doodles are provided by oneAndrew Dobson— but he co-writes along with series creator Dan Roth.
