Stopping “controversy” one stupid move at a time In case you didn’t notice,Slender Mancame out last week and was an unmitigated disaster. It wasn’t scary at all and it was frankly just a slog to get through. Nothing worked in it, and if you’re at all curious to see it and see how bad it is, I implore you not to. Anything is better than seeingSlender Man. Hell, I’ll recommend seeingTeen Titans Go!...

The ski lift is one of the things cut from the Resident Evil 4 remake

It was so fun in VR The ski lift, otherwise known as the “lift” portion ofResident Evil 4was one of its most memorable moments for mewhen playing in VR. Lifting up a rifle or using a pistol in a full VR space was incredibly satisfying, and I was looking forward to seeing how silly Capcom could get with the remake. Well, it’s not there! Let’s break down where it was located,and what happens instead....

The wildest and possibly best Saints Row game is coming to Switch next month

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected Originally,Saints Rowstarted as an alternative to theGrand Theft Autoseries, but evolved into something much more. The sequel juiced up the comedy factor, and by the time the third game rolled around we were officially in parody territory: the fourth entry just threw any pretense of sanity out the window. That very game is actually coming to Switch next month in the form of the “Re-Elected” edition. Deep Silver has confirmed today thatSaints Row IVwill arrive on Switch on June 27, 2025, and you may pre-order it and its “25 pieces of DLC” (“pieces of DLC,” that’s such an early 2010s phrase!...

TtWaV Teaser: Should Skyward Sword be rated M?

[Talking to Women about Videogamesis a series where Jonathan Holmes talks to different people who are women about the biggest videogame news of the week for some reason.] Nintendo has a track record for including gender ambigious or otherwise unconventional characters in their games. From what I’ve heard, there’s been something of a culture clash over this between Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Japan. Rumor has it that part of the reason whyCaptain Rainbow,Freshly Picked Tingle Rosy Rupeeland,andMother 3were never brought to the USA was because of the gender-rebellious characters featured in both games; for fear that they would tarnish their family friendly image, and/or score a T or even an M rating....
