My Friend Pedro is posting big sales numbers after its first week on Switch and Windows PC. Some of you might remember an old Flash game, during the days of Flash games, on Adult Swim called MFP: My Friend Pedro. It involved a typical cardboard cutout-like character performing neat flips and trick shots like he was the main character in a John Woo action film and was a great way to waste some time at work....
With players stuck inside during the Coronavirus crisis, the hunger for new, long, immersive games is higher than ever, despite the difficulty many players will have in getting their hands on them. Easily one of the most anticipated of these is The Last of Us 2, which players have wanted basically from the moment they finished the original The Last of Us. They will have to continue waiting though, as not only is no The Last of Us 2 playable demo forthcoming, the actual game is currently delayed for who knows how long....
When Netflix officially teased their upcoming animated adaptation of the Castlevania series via a trailer starring a well-worn NES and pixelated takes on some of their most popular shows, Castlevania fans across the world reached deep into their too often tread upon hearts and found reason to hope that this series might just be the proper modern day interpretation of this series that they have long hoped for. It is with a somewhat heavy heart that I report Netflix’s Castlevania is not a show for the fans....

With Bethesda sounding like they may be hard at work with a potential Fallout 4, they’re not the only studio with a penchant for the apocalypse - developers Obsidian have gone on the record stating they’d love to continue their collaboration with Bethesda Softworks, and make a sequel to Fallout: New Vegas. The company is currently busy working on South Park: The Stick of Truth and Project Eternity, but returning to the grimy, radroach-infested universe of Fallout may be on the cards for the future....
The developer for Scorn doesn’t think that solid-state hard drives are all that big of a deal, and the real game-changer for next-gen consoles is the CPU. Solid-state hard drives have been around for a while on PC providing nearly instantaneous load times for many games. Consoles haven’t benefited from this technology as solid-state drives were too expensive when the current generation of consoles was introduced, so they stuck with older magnetic disc models....
Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones is an upcoming pirate game which hopes to take a successful element of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, naval battles, and expand those principles into a full game set in the Indian Ocean. However, updates about the game since its reveal at E3 2017 have been few and far between. Sea of Thieves has set the standard for modern multiplayer pirate games, and there will likely be more than a few similarities between Sea of Thieves and the way Skull and Bones handles ships and multiplayer....

The soldiers’ mission quickly goes awry and the expected Nazi threat unveils itself....
While many view the Overwatch hero Tracer as the game’s official mascot, the Pachimari is technically more deserving of that title. It seems like Blizzard will be leaning into the creature’s cuteness more than ever before, as a special new Overwatch challenge centered on the mascot has been revealed. Like previous challenge events in Overwatch, players have roughly two weeks to complete all the objectives required to unlock the PachiMarchi content....

Sometimes, it takes just one season. There have been cases in sports where players seemingly got good out of nowhere. How that happened varies, whether it was increased playing time, different team situations, or just year-to-year improvement. It happens very often in the NBA, considering how many variables there are to dictate a player’s performance throughout a year. That performance is replicated in NBA 2K, where certain players that were household names at one point had to settle for very low ratings....
The NPD Group reveals the top selling games of September 2015, with NBA 2K16, Madden NFL 16, Metal Gear Solid 5, FIFA 16, and Destiny at the top of the list.
