Hoo-boy, it looks like it’s going to be another one of those weeks. Not only did Iget in a fight with some uppity gorilla(whose ass we had to kick to get my f***ing arm back!), but I’m forced to drag my lazy, old, retro carcass into work on a holiday; and at NINE a.m., too. I swear, this wholeworking for a living because I like eating and paying rent and other things that help keep me alivenonsense, is getting old....

UK’sGamecentralspoke with producer Motohiro Okubo last week and took the opportunity to ask him whetherSCVImight come to Nintendo’s hybrid-console, jokingly adding that we could seeThe Legend of Zelda’sLink make a comeback.Unfortunately, Okubo said that the Switch console wasn’t even in public awareness when Namco began development onSCVI....

We’re getting the same box as Japan George Kamitani’s female character designs forDragon’s Crownhave received a rathersurprising amount of attention— that’s … that’s still going on, isn’t it? — but at least for the game’s box art, the presentation is fairly tame,to use Kyle’s word. Yes, if this North American cover looks familiar, that’s because Japan got the same design. I do quite enjoy the art book’s cover, also shown below....

Rivers of Londonwas written by author Ben Aaronovitch and is a masterful series set mostly around the city of London in the UK that blends grounded police policies, a fantastical world within our own, and Aaronovitch’s own excruciatingly precise memory for the details of London’s streets. When I first picked this series up, I thought I’d be reading a murder mystery novel set in London that was grounded and offered a good twist ending....

Oh man, remember this game? It wasn’t very good! Gearbox continues to demonstrate that, contrary to popular idioms, you can actually polish a turd.Aliens: Colonial Marinesis being made shinier —but no less stinkier— in a 4GB PC patch that improves textures, A.I. behavior, and a huge number of other things. The massive update should be available for download right now. Unfortunately, the patch doesn’t fix its woeful story, nor does it include an apology or an explanation as to why the gamecontinues to be sold with misleading information....

Abiotic Factortakes place in an underground research bunker packed with paranormal phenomena and little means to survive. A containment breach and system failure inadvertently flood the facility with even more supernatural enemies, military sects, and otherworldly portals, so you’ll need to hunker down and bolster makeshift defenses. That’s not easy when resources are so scarce. Among the rarest resources are Power Cells. Only a handful of these little treasures exist in the entire game....

I’m assuming these problems are solved less with our hero helping Praxilla out with re-writes and more with sticking pointy objects through windpipes....
