The Switch version was updated to 1.1.0 No More Heroes 3Japanese audio is in,thanks to a new patchthat also coincides with the launch of the game on PC, PS4/PS5, and Xbox One/Xbox Series X. The Switch patch isn’t massive, but brings the game up to version 1.1.0, andadds a new Japanese voice option to the game. It’s enough to get me to play it again for sure! As for the rest of the versions, the PS4, PS5, and Xbox editions were all touched in some way....

Hopefully the new ownership won’t cause an…oculus RIFT You know who else promised they wouldn’t change, Oculus? My third husband. But two years after a trip to Nepal and he’s thirty pounds heavier, balding, and a born again Christian. That’s not what I signed up for. No matter your intentions, people change. Especially with two billion dollars. Anyway, Facebook spent a sickening sum of money (two billion dollars) andpurchased Oculus VR....

Realm Rampageis aRobloxgame that packs in yourfavorite anime charactersand allows you to fight other players who are rocking their personal favorites to create some of the biggest hero clashes the game has ever seen. However, as with manyRobloxgames,Realm Rampageisn’t a title you can pick up and be a master at within just a few minutes.

Call your GameStop, or not, I’m not your Dad A few months ago, the ultra-rare Lucina amiibo got a restock, and people who weren’t previously able to locate the figure were finally allowed to unlock her inCode Name SteamandFire Emblem Awakening. Wait, no one else cares about amiibo anymore? Guys, hello? Well too bad, you’re going to still get these updates. For the few of you that still collect these things, Robin is also getting a restock it seems at various Gamestops across the US....

In whatReuterssays was the most expensive property sale in Japan in four years, Sony offloaded their 25-floor Sony City Osaki building to another group for what works out to be $1....

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobylis a phenomenally atmospheric take on the beloved franchise, but if you’re a series veteran, then you’ve probably noticed something is amiss with the game’s AI. Its A-Life systems, specifically, are either broken or not even present in the final product. A-Life is one of those eclectic game features that are hard to put into words, thoughI have certainly tried my hand at explaining its importance. While GSC Game World hasn’t dedicatedtoo muchmarketing time on discussing it, the team was quite clear in stating thatA-Life was present and accounted for inSTALKER 2....
