The Microsoft Studios-published platformer Ori and the Blind Forest is coming to the Nintendo Switch in its definitive edition.
As revealed during the Aug. 19 Indie World Nintendo Showcase of upcoming Nintendo Switch games, Nintendo revealed Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition will debut on the system on September 27. The Definitive Edition includes additional areas, abilities, story elements, music, and more on top of the original adventure.
Take the Corsair Harpoon RGB and snip the cord, jettison 2,000 DPI, and add $20 to the bill and you get the Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse (See it at Amazon). It is nearly identical to Corsair’s wired Harpoon RGB Pro mouse, but the wireless version uses an optical sensor with lower total DPI and costs $20 more for wireless freedom. The Harpoon RGB Wireless is also a few grams heavier because of the battery it must carry onboard. Otherwise, it’s an exact replica of the Harpoon RGB Pro. It’s a six-button, right-handed mouse with a single zone of RGB lighting.
Hayley Atwell has discussed Peggy Carter’s character arc within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying that she thinks her story with Steve Rogers had a “fitting end” in Avengers: Endgame.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress shared her feelings on Peggy Carter’s prospective final scene to “end the whole franchise”, as she revealed her character’s concluding sequence was secretly filmed over the course of a single afternoon back in 2017.
“I think we shot that maybe two years ago,” she told the outlet, adding, “I thought it was a fitting end to a story that has affected so many people. I thought it was very endearing, innocent and wholesome in the way that it keeps those characters in their time.”
Grand Theft Auto V Online is serving up some major rewards as part of the Diamond Program this week, but you need to log in by August 21 to claim them.
The recently opened Diamond Casino and Resort in GTA V’s online mode is offering up a slew of rewards as part of The Diamond Program, which could net you up to GTA$400,000 just for logging on if you’ve reached Diamond status. Even if you haven’t, though, even Silver Status players – anyone with a Penthouse – will get a huge reward.
Silver Status players who log in will be awarded GTA$250,000, without needing to do anything further. It’s free money, so make sure you claim it. If you’ve earned Gold Status – which means completing the second Casino Story Mission for Mr Cheng, ‘House Keeping’ – you’ll get a further GTA$50,000, as well as a new Royals Tattoo option. These rewards stack, by the way, so the higher you go, the more you’ll get.
Platinum status players – who have earned that rank by completing five Casino Work missions after reaching Gold Status – will get a further GTA$50,000, plus a Benny’s Original Motor Works poster to stick up on the walls of their penthouse. And if you’ve made it all the way to Diamond status by both hitting Platinum and then completing all Casino Story missions, you’ll get GTA$50,000 more, as well as an exclusive Red Diamond Tee to wear. If you’ve already met these prerequisites, you can nab all of this right away – just make sure you do it before August 21. All of these rewards will be granted by August 28 at the latest.
GTA V Online has also added a new car at Legendary Motorsport: the Progen Emerus. It’s fast and sleek, and it’s just one of many new toys and modes that has been added. RC Time Trials have also been added to the game, letting you race the RC Bandito as fast as you can. Right now the completion bonus on these missions has been doubled to GTA$200,000, so they’re a good way to earn some cash.
Rewards have also been douvled on the Arena War series until August 21, and the Lucky Wheel inside the casino currently offers up the Dinka Jester Classic car as a potential prize. The Casino Store has also been updated with a variety of items. On top of all of this, there’s currently a 30% discount on a variety of items available across the game:
RC Bandito
Arena Workshops
Arena Workshop Add-Ons & Renovations
Arena HVY Scarab (all styles)
Arena Declasse Brutus (all styles)
Arena MTL Cerberus (all styles)

Arena Annis ZR380 (all styles)
Arena Western Motorcycle Company Deathbike (all styles)
Arena Vehicle Weapons
Arena Vehicle Armor Plating
Arena Vehicle Vertical Jump
Arena Boosts
Arena Bodyworks (Blades, Spikes & Rollcages)
Again, make sure that you act quickly and log in before August 21 to get your hands on all of these benefits.

Amazon Prime only costs £79 a year in the UK, and offers one-day delivery, music, and Amazon Prime Video. You can either pay for the package in one lump sum, or pay monthly at a cost of £7.99 a month. This works out at £95.88 per year.
The barren, terrifying wastes of devastated Australia are the home for one of the most notable nostalgia-powered trips of recent history: 2015’s Mad Mad: Fury Road. Picking up the legacy of a series thought finished decades ago, original director George Miller blended old-school physical filmmaking with modern techniques to create one of the decade’s most memorable blockbusters.
But Mad Max isn’t the only Australian dystopia that lay dormant for years in wait of revival. Beneath a Steel Sky, released in 1994, is a cult favourite adventure game. Fans have hoped and dreamed of a second game for over two decades. And now, in 2019, the original developers have created a sequel – Beyond a Steel Sky – by combining old-school adventure game design with modern techniques.

Avengers Marvel Legends Series Endgame Power Gauntlet Articulated Electronic Fist is Now Available for $99.99
If you thought the original Infinity Gauntlet from Hasbro was cool, take a look at this Endgame variant. The gauntlet has finally been released but it’s so popular that there’s already a shipping delay (order it now and expect to receive it by the end of August). Get it now or you might find this one hard to come by during the upcoming holiday season. This life sized wearable gauntlet features fully articulated fingers, pulsating glowing stone lighting, official sound effects, and more.
New Releases breaks down the biggest games launching each week, and this episode is full of games from developers you might already love. Double Fine has the action-RPG Rad, Gunfire Games is launching Remnant: From the Ashes, and Tokyo RPG Factory is releasing Oninaki. Meanwhile, UnderMine comes to Steam Early Access and Nintendo Switch gets Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution.
Rad — August 20
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch
The “rad” in Double Fine’s newest adventure is short for “radiation,” because you’ll be exploring a post-apocalyptic irradiated world. The deeper you go, the more radiation you’ll absorb, developing crazy mutations that give you special powers. You’ll have to use a combination of mutant abilities and your trusty baseball bat to beat down the nuclear monsters in this world.

Remnant: From The Ashes — August 20
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, Switch
Speaking of defeating monsters, Remnant: From the Ashes is a survival shooter that pits you against all manner of big beasts. The more you defeat, the more you’ll be able to upgrade your armor and weapons. Each of the game’s four worlds–Earth, Raesa, Rhom, and Corsus–is dynamically generated, so you’ll have new quests and events to experience each time you jump in.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution — August 20
Available on: Switch
For the uninitiated, Yu-Gi-Oh is played by dealing cards that either summon monsters, cast spells, or lay traps as you aim to reduce your opponent’s life force to zero. Link Evolution lets you build your deck from over 9,000 of those cards as you duel characters from the super-popular anime series. You can take on other players in online duels too.
UnderMine — August 20
Available on: PC
UnderMine is a roguelike, which means you’re going to lose lots of characters to the monsters and traps as you dig deeper into each new layer of the mine. Fortunately, new miners retain the upgrades from your previous runs. UnderMine is headed to Early Access on Steam first, with future releases planned on Xbox One and Switch as well.
Oninaki — August 22
Available on: PS4, PC, Switch
Oninaki might still be an RPG, but the team behind I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear is changing things up this time. Most notably, there’s a lot more action thanks to a hack-and-slash battle system. As far as story goes, Oninaki is about the Watchers, who guide trapped souls into the afterlife.
More Coverage:
There’s one more episode of New Releases for the month of August, and it’s the most jam-packed episode yet. Next week, we’ll take a look at World of Warcraft Classic, Astral Cain, Blair Witch, and more.
Sniper Ghost Warrior will return in November, with the latest game in the series taking place across five regions within Siberia.
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts will release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on November 22, 2019. The news comes with a trailer, showing off a previously unseen area that you’ll get to explore called Black Gold. The trailer shows off some of the upcoming sequel’s stealthy gameplay, and a handful of new features added for this fourth game in the series.
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts will feature a new ‘Dynamic Reticle’ system, which is designed so that players can better predict how their shot will go. We get a bit of a look at this in the trailer, with a trail indicating the path of the bullet when zoomed in. There are also Scout Drones in Contracts that players will be able to pilot, as well as an Augmented Reality Mask with integrated binoculars for stronger surveillance.
The game’s name comes from its new ‘contracts’ system, whereby you’ll talk to NPCs within each region who will give you your targets. There are 25 main contracts in the game, but there will be plenty of side objectives to complete as well.
The previous game in the series, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, was criticised for its sparse open world and general lack of sniping. In his 5/10 review, Richard Wakeling said that the game “falters whenever it veers away from its strengths, and the plethora of nagging glitches and technical problems are a persistent nuisance that make Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 difficult to recommend.”
