Adventure games are some of my all-time favorites. I was more of a LucasArts guy than a Sierra guy, but both studios made incredible stuff in the late ‘80s through the ‘90s: The Monkey Island series, Space Quest, Sam & Max, King’s Quest, Full Throttle, etc. They were smart and, in an era where video games had never been thought of as comedies before,often funny. They were also successful by any and all metrics.

Until they weren’t.

As gaming moved into the third dimension, adventure games, by and large, didn’t come along for the ride. And so they were left behind, with layers of dust gathering on them. They were forgotten, seemingly bound to a specific time and place in the industry’s history. That is, until Telltale came along.

My Favourite New Fighting Game Character is a Self-Flagellating Disciplinarian

Kill la Kill is one of my favourite anime series of recent years. It’s creative, weird, super high energy and wonderfully animated. It also manages to indulge in, while simultaneously parodying, many classic anime tropes.

If you’ve never seen it, the basic story set-up sees teen protagonist Ryuko Matoi searching for answers about the death of her father. She transfers to Honnoji Academy in the dystopian Honno City, which is run with absolute authority by the student council and its ruthless president Satsuki Kiryuin. Ryuko finds herself facing off against a bizarre parade of characters, all of whom have special uniforms that boost their abilities to an insane degree… and also transform. Ryuko, meanwhile, has an outfit that’s even more powerful.

Players Discover Shadow of the Tomb Raider ‘Mistakenly Included’ Alternate Ending

Shadow of the Tomb Raider has an official ending with playful nods to the original games in the series, but an ending that wasn’t supposed to be in the game was mistakenly included in launch copies of the title.

Spoiler Warning: For those who don’t want the real (or unofficial) ending of Shadow of the Tomb Raider ruined, finish the game and come back to read this strange story after.

As reported by Kotaku, the day-one patch for Shadow of the Tomb Raider actually included the proper ending of the game. In this official post-credits scene, Lara is sitting at a desk at Croft Manor while the camera pans over various items and artifacts from this latest trilogy of Tomb Raider games. The scene ends with a shot of a hand-drawn picture, one Lara drew as a child, that shows her with her parents next to a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a pyramid. It’s a fun reference to the original 1996 Tomb Raider, which featured both of these elements.

The Biggest Games At Tokyo Game Show 2018

Tokyo Game Show 2018 is under way and, like all major video game conventions, the biggest upcoming games are out in full force. While Tokyo Game Show tends to have quite a healthy selection of mobile and indie titles, console blockbusters also receive a great deal of attention.

This year we walked around the show floor, visiting booths and taking note of the biggest games being exhibited so we could give you an overview of the hot up-and-coming experiences that Japanese gamers are eager to play. While we made an effort to take pictures of every booth for the relevant games, in some cases photography was prohibited, so we’ve used recent screenshots for them as a substitute.

Tokyo Game Show has already delivered some exciting news and trailers. Most notably, Capcom has released a new Devil May Cry 5 trailer and detailed the Deluxe Edition. A Resident Evil 2 Remake trailer focused on Claire also made its debut during the show. In the week leading up to the start of Tokyo Game Show, Sony held the PlayStation LineUp Tour and provided a fresh look at some brutal Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice gameplay, played host to the announcement of a new Samurai Shodown, and revealed Judge Eyes, a new project from the team behind the Yakuza series.

Coinciding with the start of Tokyo Game Show was also the announcement of the PlayStation Classic, a mini version of the original PlayStation that comes with 20 “generation-defining” games. The PlayStation Classic is set to launch in December.

Without further ado, join us on an abridged look at the massive show floor at Tokyo Game Show 2018.

Marvel’s Jeph Loeb Hints at Defenders Return With Potential New Team

Marvel’s Defenders may continue, although Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage may not always be the stars.

Marvel TV Head Jeph Loeb told Entertainment Weekly there is potential for a continuation of the series, saying, “all we’ve ever said is that there are no plans right now

. It doesn’t mean that it’s off the table.”

That could mean much more than just another season with series regulars, however. “It doesn’t mean that it even has to be with the original characters that were in the first Defenders” Loeb said.

When asked to elaborate, he said, “There are lots of Avengers, and through that, you should be able to ascertain that there may be lots of Defenders.

PlayStation Classic Will Support Smartphone AC Adaptors

With the PlayStation Classic’s announcement this week came the exciting news of 20 classic PS1 games packed in a mini nostalgia console. Some questions about the hardware came from its initial announcement, however.

One of the biggest lingering questions concerns the way the PlayStation Classic will actually be packaged. The box for the system notably revealed that a USB AC Adaptor would be sold separately. Speaking to IGN via email, a PlayStation spokesperson did not comment on the decision to sell power supplies separately, but did note that many widely available power sources could be used.

Netflix’s Maniac Review: How is the Bond 25 Director’s Surreal Series?

The Netflix limited series, Maniac, debuts Friday, September 21. This is a spoiler-free review for all 10 episodes.

Maniac, a 10-part event series starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone – who reunite for the first time since Superbad provided both of them with breakout roles – is a moderately-amusing, overly-trippy romp that’s sure to garner even more attention now that director Cary Fukunaga, of True Detective: Season 1 fame, has been hired to helm Bond 25.

Hill and Stone, giving it their ambitious all, play lost, damaged souls wandering a satire-saturated “five minutes from now” future world. The results here are mixed, yes, though Maniac’s cardinal sin is that it never touches down long enough to fully resonate emotionally the way it sets out to. It’s unpredictable and full of loopy left turns, sure, but it’s also often dull. Most definitely, it’s another instance of a Netflix show blowing its horn for ten notes when five would have done nicely, but it’s also because this specific type of oddball absurdist art doesn’t benefit from the almighty binge.
