Cuphead Delayed until Mid-2017
Ah, phooey! Cuphead, the run-n-gun homage to 1930s cartoons and recreational LSD use, is being delayed. Originally, it was set to release later this year.

You Wanna Remaster Games? Remaster These!
The eighth generation of video game consoles seems to me like the remaster generation. For all the great original IPs and sequels that we’ve received this generation, we’ve had more than a fair share of remasters on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While some remasters make sense, like Resident Evil 4 and Grim Fandango, some are lazy to the point of ridiculousness. Seriously, did we really need a T...[Read More]

Treyarch Releases Mod Tools for Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PC
The Call of Duty series started out on PC. You wouldn’t think that, though, with the way the series has been treated on the platform. The Call of Duty: Black Ops III PC port was mangled by Activision, just like the last couple of CoD games before it. The series now shines on consoles. Activision looks to be changing that perception – slightly – with the latest update, 15.1. The new update adds mod...[Read More]

According to Kotaku, Destiny 2 will launch on PC as well as Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Kotaku credited “several sources” with the news.
