Resident Evil 3 Remake takes the foundation from the recent RE2 treatment and applies it to the classic third game, including the ever-present threat of Nemesis. But why stop at one Nemesis? Why not multiple Nemeses? What if the game were absolutely crawling with them?

Modder FluffyQuack has answered that question with a mod for the RE3 Remake demo (via PC Gamer), which turns every enemy into a Nemesis. As it turns out, one Nemesis is better for delivering scares, because a litter of them ends up seeming kind of silly and bumbling. Too many Nemesis spoil the ambiance somewhat, as the many hapless Nemeses lumber around and bump into one another.

The Resident Evil 2 Remake was similarly known for a wacky mod community, with mods that turned the threatening Mr. X into Thomas the Tank Engine or the horrible goose. One mod even tagged in Geralt, known for his monster-slaying abilities, to deal with Racoon City’s zombie problem.

For a while it seemed Nemesis was even more threatening than usual, when it appeared he would be able to break into safe rooms. That turned out to be a misunderstanding, but the menace should still pose a creepy threat in the full game. For more on Resident Evil 3 Remake, check out our pre-order guide.

Buy two, get one free sales on games have become a regular occurrence at Target, and the retailer is kicking off another one this Sunday, March 29. Target’s latest B2G1 free game sale will include popular AAA games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. While we won’t know for sure if Amazon will match Target’s sale until the promotion begins, Amazon almost always joins in on the buy two, get one free fun.

However, Target’s ad contradicts itself. The promotion shows new games like Doom Eternal, Persona 5 Royal, and Resident Evil 3 Remake–the latter two of the three don’t even release until after the sale starts. But the fine print claims that the sale “excludes pre-order and new-release video games.” It’s quite the conundrum since those games are the most prominently featured titles on the ad page. Though Target has included certain new release and upcoming games in these promotions in the past (such as Nioh 2), for now we have to assume that the layout of the ad is misleading.

So far, Target has only revealed a small sample of the hundreds of games that will be featured in the promotion. We’ve listed the eligible games we know about below and will update this article with the best deals once the promotion is live. Target’s B2G1 free sale runs from March 29 through April 4.

If you’re looking for something to play this weekend, we’ve rounded up all of the free games you can download right now. Both the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store are hosting big sales this week as well, so there are plenty of PS4 and Xbox One games available for discount prices ahead of Target’s B2G1 free promotion.

Gears Tactics, the new PC strategy game from The Coalition and Splash Damage, will eventually release on Xbox One. The Coalition’s Tyler Bielman confirmed to GameSpot that the title will come to Xbox at some point in the future following the PC edition’s release.

The developer pointed out that a certain person who is no longer with the company (Rod Fergusson) actually let the existence of the Xbox One version slip in 2019. The company had no further comment on when the Xbox One version will release or any details about it, but console fans can rest assured it is coming.

“The console version is incoming. Absolutely we have confirmed that there will be a console release,” Bielman said.

With 2020 being the year of Xbox Series X, it seems likely that Gears Tactics could find a home on the next-generation console, but nothing is confirmed yet. Given Gears Tactics is a first-party game, it will also presumably release through Xbox Game Pass.

For lots more on Gears Tactics, check out GameSpot’s recent preview that explains what the game is all about. The Coalition also speaks about the impact of COVID-19 on the game and lots more.

More and more, it’s beginning to feel like the final season of The Clone Wars would have been better off structured as three feature-length films rather than 12 episodes. Within each story arc, the episodes flow so closely from one to the next that there’s little point in even interrupting them with credits sequences. A feature-length approach definitely would have helped with this arc. Ahsoka’s new team-up adventure picks up quite a bit in Chapter 2, but it’s a shame we had to deal with such a forgettable setup episode first.

Even the way Admiral Yularen’s narration recaps the events of “Gone With a Trace” highlights how empty and dull that episode is. It served its purpose as far as putting Ahsoka in the path of sisters Trace and Rafa Martez, but that’s about it. But again, now that the setup is out of the way, the series is able to do something much more exciting with that partnership. That includes revisiting Kessel, a world we’ve heard about for decades but only recently saw brought to life in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The introduction of Kessel is one way in which the long gap between Seasons 6 and 7 winds up working in the show’s favor. Had this episode aired pre-Solo, it’s doubtful The Clone Wars would have even been able to include the world. It certainly wouldn’t have looked the same. “Deal No Deal” helps further flesh out this world and the staggering inequality separating the wealthy aristocrats living in luxurious jungle palaces from the rabble stuck mining the spice. This, in turn, plays right into Ahsoka’s ongoing character arc. She’s already grown disillusioned with the Jedi, but now she has a firsthand look at the evil they’ve allowed to flourish right under their noses. Thanks to this episode, the series has already taken a critical step forward in bridging the gap between Season 5 Ahsoka and the older “I’m no Jedi” Ahsoka of Star Wars Rebels.

Episode 6 also helps further develop the Ahsoka/Trace/Rafa dynamic quite a bit, enough that there’s now more incentive to care about the two sisters and their struggle for a better life. There’s a sense of unease building around what’s clearly a toxic relationship between Trace and Rafa. Rafa talks a big game about family and sisters needing to look out for each other, but it’s clearly all a noose designed to trap Trace in a life of grift and bad decisions. It helps that Ahsoka isn’t simply played as the angel on Trace’s shoulder here, but rather a negative influence in her own, well-meaning way. With Rafa urging Trace toward a life of crime and Ahsoka naively arguing that the drug cartel’s precious shipment should be hijacked to make medicine, you can’t really blame Trace for snapping and sending it all hurtling into hyperspace. Ahsoka may be woke these days, but she’s not exactly wise yet.

In short, this episode is a much better followup to what was a pretty lackluster debut. That said, the strongest scene in this episode revolves more around the broken Ahsoka/Anakin bond. Ahsoka’s close encounter with Anakin is a lot of fun to watch, both in how it offers silent acknowledgement of their friendship and in how it calls back to iconic Original Trilogy moments. Seeing a Clone Wars-era riff on the Endor approach from Return of the Jedi is a welcome treat. It’s telling how Anakin so consistently steals the show despite playing a relatively smaller role in Season 7. Even more than reconnecting with Ahsoka, the real joy of this final season has been in seeing him drift further down the path toward becoming Darth Vader.
