Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealthis here, and it’s another RPG from RGG Studio. Given how lengthy its predecessor could be for some players, it’s fair to ask how longLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthcould be. Of course, this question is a bit complicated. While reaching the end credits is one thing,Yakuza / Like a Dragongames are well-known for their lengthy, expansive side content offerings. So depending on how much time you want to spend on the fringes of Hawaii’s nightlife, you might tally up a pretty high hour count....

Welcome to the final days of Samurott In case you haven’t heard,Samurott is joining the roster ofPokemon Scarlet & Violetvia a 7-Star Tera Raid Battle event. This event will run from March 31 to April 2, and it will repeat the following weekend from April 7 to April 9. One of the most challenging aspects of 7-Star raids is sheer unpredictability. The moveset of any Pokemon can completely change which monster will counter it best, so it’s almost impossible to prepare for an event before it goes live....

Don’t utter a single word I’ve always found it odd that more games don’t do interesting things with death. Dying tends to just set you back a checkpoint or has you replaying entire levels, but some games introduce cool gimmicks.Super Time Forcewas one of the very few indie games that based its entire gameplay loop around dying and creating clones of yourself. Perishing in a glorious fashion let you devise bum rushing tactics to tackle enemies all over the screen with the ghosts of your previous attempts floating everywhere....

Big sigh of relief The sky(walker) was falling for a short while this morning when EA released the PC requirements for the upcomingStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The minimum specs looked normal enough, but the recommended requirements had one eye-popping detail: You need 32GB of RAM. That’s significant because it’s the first game to ever recommend 32GB RAM. Even the most demanding games top out at 16GB RAM. The people who have 32GB in their rig are basically just future-proofing....

Off-the-cuff announcement Today over at thePlayStation Blog, Sony Xdev Studio Europe detailed some new additions to Housemarque’s PlayStation 4 shoot-’em-up,Resogun. (Photo mode incoming!)

Well, that’s a hell of a way to announce something....

Changing Channels It’s a plain and simple fact that the Xbox Game Pass subscription service has turned the future of video gaming on its head. Offering fantastic new and old releases for a relatively modest price, Xbox Game Pass is not only a hit with PC and console players, but might also prove successful with TV owners too. Microsoft first announced its intention to bring the subscription service to “Smart” TVs back in the summer of last year....

Sony has done a lot of talking when it comes to the PS3’s strengths and weaknesses,much to my chagrin.Industry Gamershas been encouraging Sony to talk just a bit more, speaking with VP of Product Development Scott Rohde. Rohde thinks the PS3 is so powerful that it’s an onion. Metaphorically, of course. “The way I like to look at what the PS3 can do is that we’re still peeling back layers of the onion and finding even more that the SPUs can pull off,” says Rohde, bigging up the system’s horsepower....

My favorite beers are definitely the stouts. They’re thick, full-bodied and packed with flavor, without being too nuanced. With Trappist ales, for example, I always feel like I need to focus on the taste because there’s so much there. Stouts are nice and calm, relaxing beers. I had my first shot at a milk stout just last week at a microbrewery in Illinois. I liked it, but I figured if I tried a bit, I could find some better ones near my home in the Twin Cities....
