Special editions.They aren’t so special anymore. They come with every major release these days and someone buys them and then life goes on, and despite all that modern special editions come with they’ll never be as cool as a golden cartridge and everyone knows it. And now that I have basically insulted the product, I’d like to introduce you toNinja Gaiden Sigma2‘s Collector’s Edition. It’s got stuff, maybe you want it....

Hop to it Kao the Kangaroofans – and I know you’re out there – will be pleased to hear that the high-jumping hero’s original trilogy of adventures is now available to purchase from GOG.com, packaged together as the surprisingly titledKao the Kangaroo Trilogy. The compendium includes the original 2000 adventure, the 2005 sequelKao the Kangaroo: Round 2, and finally 2005’sKao the Kangaroo: Mystery of the Volcano. This release represents the first time the latter two titles have been made available in digital format....

Unclean armor is heresy Futurlabhas announcedthat their masterpiece cleaning game,PowerWash Simulatoris getting its next themed DLC, this time crossing over to the grimdarkWarhammer 40000universe. After playingWarhammer 40000: Boltgun, I certainly feel like I need a high-pressure blast of water. That game is one of the bloodier first-person shooters out there. There are definitely some floors out there that need a good hose-down, which is to say nothing of the armor that probably stinks of rot and heresy....

The New Genesis Braver is out on August 4 SoPSO 2: New Genesisis off to a slow start, but that’s going to improve with each subsequent major update.Based on the livestream this weekthat showed off theNew GenesisBraver class, as well as other content, August is going to be a decent month. This update, including theNew GenesisBraver class, arrives on August 4. But we’re also getting new uniforms/cosmetics, as well as a new side story (A Melancholy Monument), and a few quality of life features like a visible MAG toggle....

I make my love of role playing, racing and puzzle games known, but I don’t talk much about my other love: golf games. I adore golf games. My favorite are the PangYatitles (PC, WII and PSP), but I have love for all of the Asian-made ones, from theMinna no(Hot Shots Golf) series to Nintendo’sMario Golfseries. They can’t make enough of these! A new one has popped up on the Vita listings at Amazon....

Interesting Sony has announced a new TV cloud service that will launch in 2015. It will deliver broadcasts and on-demand content to the PS4 and PS3, as well as a few other platforms. They’ve partnered with NBC, Scripps Network Interactive, Discovery, Viacom, FOX, and CBS, and it will be a monthly subscription model. As someone who watches a ton of TV (glad to seeHomelandback on its feet), the service sounds fairly underwhelming so far....

Longterm Games has announcedtheir upcoming game,StarKeeper, which has you manage a tavern on a wayward meteor. Alongside it, they have released a trailer that showcases gameplay that looks oddly adjacent to 2001’sStartopia. Management sims based around building a tavern have been growing in popularity over the past while. It’s one of those concepts that creators have grasped onto and are trying to put their own spin on it. As a hobbyist, it can be a bit vexing, as I don’t really even know where to begin when it seems like the announcement of three of them hit my inbox each day, and I can’t tell their names apart....

This cinematic trailer sure sets the mood I thought I could handle spiders, but this latest video forThe Sinking Cityhas me questioning my resolve thanks to a fast-moving figure lurking just out of the protagonist’s sight. Ominous webbed hands, an ocean in the sky, and tentacles that connect to some unspeakable horror or another all make for a darn good cinematic trailer. I’m glad this Lovecraft-inspired investigation game ismoving forward....

Getting into gear Sega has released a selection of tidbits about their upcoming racing titleTeam Sonic Racing.The new info was released during Gamescom, currently taking place in Germany this week. It appears that Sonic, Amy, Tails and co. will all be taking part in a map-based racing campaign, similar to that ofSonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed. The gang have been invited to race at the behest of a mysterious Tanuki named Dodonpa, who themselves are a participant in the high-speed action....

Nice! I’ve been heartily enjoying bothSeason 2 ofThe Walking Deadand the first outing ofThe Wolf Among Us(which I’m also hoping moves on to a second season), and Telltale has a new bit of news to announce — both of them are coming to the PS4 and Xbox One later this year. Specifically, both Season 1 and 2 ofWalking Deadwill hit both consoles, as will the complete edition ofWolf. Both of them can be pre-ordered now, and will likely hit afterWalking Deadfinishes, which has two more episodes to go compared toWolf‘s one....

Check out everything Destructoid did today I ate the flesh of a pig that was cooking for six hours today. How did you celebrate America? On Destructoid, it was understandably slow (because America), but Dale unboxedShin Megami Tensei IV, the Podtoid crew released a new episode, Jim showed us the proper way to playBioShockin his Super Best Guide, and a bit more happened on this fine Independence Day.

Check out everything Destructoid did today Nintendo. Hey, Nintendo. Make aMariogame like this. Seriously, just do it. On this first Monday of December (that was near 80 degrees outside for me), there’s a $200 3DS XL bundle out there, Humble THQ Bundle is making millions, a cosplayer is now the face ofBioShock Infinite, I’m very tired, and more things happened on 16-07-2025 than you’ll ever know.

I have been planning out my zombie apocalypse strategy since I was in 8th grade. I have all my plans written out, know exactly where to go when the sh*t hits the fan and am confident that I will survive the coming apocalypse. Even though I know I am ready for the downfall of humanity, I still play lots of zombie games just to stay on my toes. Other than teaching you to stay with a group,Left 4 Deaddoes a horrible job at teaching you defend yourself against zombies....
