Sure the Joy-Con might not be as comfortable for some games as a Pro Controller, but as a whole, the system is sleek and I came away impressed. That includes the game cases, which are a blast from the portable past — well, the not so distant past of the PSP....

Jawa dead! I’ve been wanting to playParanautical Activity— the groovy looking roguelike FPS — for quite some time, but I’ve been so busy I didn’t even see it hit Steam!

So little shooting Activision’s officially unveilingCall of Duty: Black Ops IIIon April 26, but it’s not being secretive about the title. The latest teaser trailer outright states the game’s name. That’s not where the mystery lies. What Activision’s keeping us in the dark about is the content ofBlack Ops III. This video starts out like it’s a Nike ad from the not-too-distant future. Then, it turns. Athletes are getting genetically modified, brain connections are being shared, and eventually, humans are turned into weapons....

And there’s splitscreen support! This trailer showingSplinter Cell: Blacklist‘s cooperative mode reminds me that, of all the things to get me interested in the game, it sure isn’t the single-player campaign.Spies vs. Mercsand co-op, on the other hand, have piqued my interest.

[Editor’s note: Dexter345 talks about the much feared Red Ring of Death for hisMonthly Musing piece. — CTZ] Fear. It’s an emotion that I hardly ever think about. I’m not a huge fan of scary movies* because they’re usually filled with cheap, predictable jump-scares or nauseating-yet-unimaginative grotesqueness, neither of which frighten me. I’m almost equally poorly versed in survival horror games, with my only foray into them being Leon Kennedy’s mission to save the President’s daughter (he’s a bad enough dude) in Spain....
