A feast for the eyes It’s a happy day forMonster Hunter: Worldplayers looking to make full use of their ultrawide monitor. As of the latest update on Steam, the PC port now offers 21:9 support along with a few other niceties. My hodgepodge dual-monitor setup has served my needs just fine — I’m admittedly less into PC gaming than I used to be and don’t need anything fancy — but those of you with an ultrawide monitor should be in for a treat if your machine is up to the task....

Neymar is well-known for being a bigCounter-Strikefan, but the Brazillian soccer star proved he really is one of us, posting a video on his Instagram account where he clearly misses an AWP shot on Inferno, all while saying: “CSis broken.” In the video, the former PSG player is bottom mid, aiming up toward enemies who are peeking at top mid. Neymar scopes in with his AWP, never once gets his crosshair on his opponent, fires, and predictably misses....

Up by 5-percent from last year I hope you likeTomb Raider‘s forced multiplayer, becauseNPD’s latest studyprovides more coal to big publishers’s firery intiative to have multiplayer in more games.

The results applied across “every type of device,” though PC remains the most popular for onling gaming; 68 percent of the subjects play on PC, but that’s four percent less than last year....

First things first,if you’re worried about spoilers, you can still listen to the podcast. The first third of the podcast is completely spoiler-free: we talk about the games’ quality, its flaws, and its characters, but we don’t get into any specifics that might be considered spoileriffic. After the first third, of course, we get into pretty heavy spoiler territory, but you may still listen to at least the first half hour if you’re trying to stay away from spoilers....

Yet none of them will be my Valentine Fresh off the recentSwamp Thing reveal(which I’m still reeling from), NetherRealm has released a quickfire trailer showing off Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Cheetah with a bit of a Black Canary refresher for good measure. It’s a bit cheeky of them to release it on Valentine’s Day, but hey I’ll take it. Catwoman and Black Canary are fine, but as for the new additions, Poison Ivy definitely stands out the most....

It’s free Valkyria: Azure Revolutionhas undergone a lot of changes as a result of its multiple demos, which have almost acted like a sort of early access program for PS4. Just scroll down to the input box near the bottom of the page and put in your Japan PSN address. You should get a code on November 20, as long as you register before November 19. From there, you’ll be able to access the demo until January 18 — not bad!...

Party rock is in the house tonight Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: An Indiana Jones-like cyborg discovers an eternal nightclub party and gobbles up copious amounts of liquor and pills on his way to finding his missing jacket. Oh, wait. No. No, you probably actually haven’t heard that one before. I’ll continue. One of the weirder games at Poznan Game Arena isRage Discofrom developer Suicide Penguin. It’s a floor by floor trek through an ancient tomb that just so happens to be a dance club....

Turn-based tactical espionage. Those words were all it took to sell me on the idea ofInvisible, Inc.Going into the PAX demo, I knew I would have to be cunning, thoughtful, and sneaky if I wanted to successfully steal intelligence and make it out alive. As it turns out, I overestimated how cunning, thoughtful, and sneaky I am.Invisible, Inc.requires proper espionage; players who run in and try to blow stuff up like James Bond will not make it far....

I am extremely emotional today. Not only is the long awaitedRetroforceGIVE! Mega Drive charity auctionfinally live on eBay, but when I think about the amount of stuff you all donated to make this happen it gets me rather teary-eyed. You are all wonderful people and none of this would have happened without you. For those of you that haven’t been following this, a couple months ago, my friends atRetroforceGO!and I — in collaboration with a secret, high-profile industry insider — organized a retro game charity auction that would donate all of its proceeds toChild’s Play(a non-profit that provides children’s hospitals with videogames)....

PETEY! Ironic that I’m writing about Petey Piranha appearing inSmash Ultimate. I hate the name Petey. Anyway, post-launch,Smash Ultimatewill be receiving a free new fighter in the form of a Piranha Plant fromSuper Mario Bros. His final smash will turn him into Petey Piranha (based off of theMario Galaxyboss). Piranha will also be getting an amiibo figure alongside the Ice Climbers and King K. Rool on July 02, 2025. That should be fun for fans of the spiky little bastard....
