Pinball has to be one of the hardest hobbies to talk about. On the surface, it’s about hitting a metal ball around a slanted table, with some flippers, in the hopes of keeping it from failing down a hole. In reality though, videogames’ grandfather hides behind its simplistic exterior an often more robust and deep gaming experience. To their credit, few (if any) have captured the essence of this once popular pastime in the videogame landscape better than Zen Studios....

‘These messages are NOT from Capcom’ Capcom has become the king of private and public “pre-release” events, so to speak. They’ve run a private group for testing outResident Evilgames for years, but they also hold a decent amount of public-facing demos.Resident Evil Villagealready got one, but if you’re getting notifications for another, stop right there. Specifically, for “Early Access Invitations from a “Capcom.com no reply” email. We’ve obtained a message directly from Capcom confirming the scam: “We want to inform you that these messages are NOT from Capcom and appear to be phishing attempts by an unauthorized third party....

The Penny Arcade strip above pretty much sums up how I feel aboutPuzzle Quest: rabid, undying devotion and a sense of addiction that puts a meth freak to shame. I’m apparently not alone, either, as I’ve read similar accounts from many gamers unable to put the controller down, especially after the game debuted on Xbox Live. It’s no more thanBejeweledwith a so-so story tacked on though, right? I mean, what gives?...

Now you see her… Ubisoft’s tactical shooterRainbow Six Siegecontinues to release new and exciting content to keep the twitchy shooter fresh and engaging well into its fourth year. A recent video reveals details of the two new door-kickers joining Siege’s ever-expanding roster as part of its next update, Operation: Phantom Sight. Your new Attacker is N0kk, a frightening addition who essentially operates as an Attacker equivalent of Defender Vigil. Using her HEL technology, N0kk can render herself invisible to defender cameras and drones, while also decreasing her sound, ala Caviera’s Silent Step ability....

Today’s stream promises a new trailer and gameplay for Village along with ‘much more Resident Evil news’ The first Resident Evil Showcasewent over pretty well, and so long as we get the next demo soon — one that’s indicative of the full game and not tied to a single platform — today’s stream should be a similar story.

This should pair well with Doom Eternal The 2020 video game release calendar has been in constant flux lately as a slew of high-profile studios and indie developers alike have prolonged their production schedules. I feel like I’m always double-checking Google to make sure I have the right dates only to end up getting my wires crossed anyway. Prodeus, a throwback FPS funded through Kickstarter, is another one for the delay list....

Take on cards Take On Mars, the Mars rover simulator currently available on Steam Early Access, is getting a free update on October 3, adding two new locations to explore as well as updated features including “Dynamic Weather System.” I’m curious to know exactly how weather is handled on a planet with very little atmosphere; I’d think it would range from sunny with no wind to sunny with a negligible amount of wind....

I’m not sure if it made a blip on your radar or not, but yesterday was World Goth Day. In high school I fancied quite a few bands that might be considered goth at the time, and maybe wore my eyeliner on the heavy side. These days I think the term and style has changed a bit, so I’m not even sure what it means anymore. Let’s just rock out to some Bauhaus and get our game on!...

Well a lot of parents are probably going to be puzzled by this toy when they walk intoHot Topic, asDark Soulsis coming to Funko. Coming in March, the toy publisher has announced that in addition to this one representative of From Software’s creation, a wholeFalloutline is also making an appearance....
