Remember when he fell asleep at ‘Mania? I’ll admit, I first clicked a link to this new trailer for 2K Sport’s upcomingWWEK2K18with skepticism, I thought it would make for a light, amusing Monday morning story for you good folks here at Destructoid, “Let’s all have a giggle”. But, shut my fool mouth, because it’s actually pretty dang good. The new promo spot features The Artist Formerly Known as Snoop Lion rapping his way through a chunk of the game’s ultra-expansive roster, with slick visuals provided via some sharp editing....

Spies vs. Mercs and co-op are back in full effect Confession time ladies and gents: I’m not a bigSplinter Cellfan. I didn’t much get into the first two, had an inexplicable obsession withChaos Theory, largely passed onDouble Agent, and only dabbled inConviction. A disgrace, I know,and a dry spell I’m increasingly tempted to break withSplinter Cell: Blacklist. It’s shaping to be the biggestSplinter Cellgame yet. We’ve seen the campaign at length, and not to be outdone, the multiplayer is bringing backConviction’sacclaimed cooperative mode, as well as the return of the fan favorite Spies vs....

Multiplayer was a lot harder to pull off on the NES than you may imagine. While the system was designed with two players in mind, the limitations of the hardware threw up a lot of obstacles, and there was never an elegant way around them. Elegance is overrated. So, while multiplayer was better in arcades and would only start catching up in later generations, anyone who experienced the console in its prime probably has some great memories of sharing the unit with a chum....

Simultaneous videogame releases on consoles and PC aren’t happening lately, are they? And delays? Don’t even get me started.
