When it was initially released,Alan Wake 2stunned players with its immersive visuals, storytelling, and gripping horror elements that never seem to let you go. However, the game wasn’t all spooks, scares, and monologues; it also has its zany, wild moments, many of which stand out long after you’ve finished it. Maybe the most iconic scene in the game is the Herald of Darkness song. It’s a musical version of an interview that almost comes out of nowhere when players encounter it....

March 27 at 14:59 UTC [Update:The Pokemon Company has provided instructions for the entire event here, including where to encounter Shaymin.] If you wanta free Shaymin inPokemon BDSP, make sure you log in before March 27, because that’s when the ability to nab it is getting cut off. Technically, it’s via the removal of the Oak’s Letter distribution, because once you have the letter, you’re good. So just log in before then....

So we’ve been unable to play games online, we’ve potentially had our personal info stolen, and Sony has lost a lot of money. None of these problems, however, compare to the greatest tragedy of all —Dark Soulshas been having problems! “I would be lying if I said the problems with PSN hadn’t caused us some problems,” said producer Kei Horono, “but we are in contact with Sony and are aiming to meet a street date of October 11....

I Want You to Take Over Control Remedy’s upcoming sci-fi shooterControlwill be hitting PS4, Xbox One, and PC on June 12, 2025. The date was accidentally revealed via a mishap with the Windows store, then confirmed by Game Informer from Remedy directly. This falls in line with the previously hinted “summer launch.” Despite being mere months from release, we still know next to nothing aboutControl. We got aglimpse of some gameplay featuring Nvidia technologya few days ago, but it’s hard to say exactly what this game will be....

Ghosts can rest easy for a little longer We heard the unfortunate news yesterday that Naughty Dog’s upcoming adventureThe Last of Us Part IIhad been pushed backfrom its February 2020 release date to the end of May 2020. According to the sourceswho related this information to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, this will have a knock-on effect for Sucker Punch’s samurai adventureGhost of Tsushima. In the same tweet that pre-empted the news aboutThe Last of Ussequel, Schreier also noted that the push-back would causeGhost of Tsushimato miss its expected fall release window, which could see the adventure title not arrive until 2021, after the launch of PlayStation 5....

Locked, cocked and loaded I recently moved back home with my parents and, for the last week and a half, have been making due without internet access in the house because they’re old and live in the sticks. The only access I have is one spot outside of town where my phone gets reception, the weak wifi from a neighboring building, and the Starbucks 12 miles away I am currently sitting in, writing to tell you about a game where you play as a pixie shooting underwear-clad girls....

If you pick up theSilent Hill 2remaster for your PS5 today, chances are you’ll be having a blast with the experience. If you’re to get the “improved” version for the recently-releasedPS5 Pro, however, you will likely see your enjoyment marred by various unexpected performance issues. Asspotted by Eurogamer, fans have been pointing out various visual problems brought about by the PS5 Pro version of the game, and both the developers at Bloober team and Konami, the IP owner, have remained silent on the issue for the time being....

#DaysGoneGold All told,Days Gonehas had a relatively normal AAA production schedule. Originally started in 2015, it was revealed at E3 2016 without a hitch, then got a small two-month delay this year from February into April. As of this past week it’s gone gold, meaning the 1.0 version of the game is complete and ready to ship: now all we have to do is wait until April 26. The team over at SIE Bend Studio (a very old developer that once handled theSyphon Filterseries before they were snatched up by Sony as a subsidiary) announced the news on Twitter, calling the process “quite the ride” and re-iterating the April 26 release date....

Removable buttons Here’s a neat idea: SteelSeries announced the availability of their Free Touchscreen Gaming Controls for mobile and tablet gaming. They stick right on the screen, adding a d-pad and buttons to give you something close to what you’d expect to feel when using a standard controller. The controls work with just about anything with a touchscreen, including iOS devices, Android phones and tablets, and Windows devices. You’ll get 3 buttons and a joystick in the package, and a carrying case is also included....

you’re able to always count on Wolfgore Show to warp the family programming of days long past into reflections of ultimate despair. This weekend,Sup Holmes?breaks bread with 2K Marin’s Scott LaGrasta, Hamza wants you to steal our merch, previews forThe Last StoryandWay of the Samurai 4fly at your face, and the creator ofI Wanna Be The Guydecides to make a game that won’t cause us to stab kittens in the eyes....

Can’t wait! Spring 2015 seems eons away. That’s probably because I want to get my hands on the final version ofMighty No. 9as soon as possible, and this new trailer isn’t helping. It shows off some new manuevers, including the stages for enemies No. 2 and No. 5. The health meter has also changed aesthetically in this new build, and a new musical track is shown off. Based on the footage, it seems like dashing is ahugepart of the gameplay, so get ready for a lot of potential “claw-hand” method controller holding!...

Popular games offering mod support is, and always has been, one of the most important and notable features of gaming on PC. The players’ ability to straight-up begin creating their own projects on top of pre-existing titles has, historically, been downright invaluable both to the community and to the developers. After all, some of the biggest modern games, such asDOTA 2andCounter-Strike 2, began their lives as humble mods. This alone speaks to the value of this particular aspect of PC gaming....

What’s beyond the neon cloud? I’ve got to say, I’m looking forward to Infamous: Second Son. Now, this might surprise you if you follow my infuriatingly titled posts. Up until last week I didn’t have any interest in Second Son. Sure, it looked neat, but who cares? It looks like I do. Last week Phil and I got to play through a fairly sizable chunk of the game with Sucker-punch co-founder Chris Zimmerman....
