Summary Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eateris a pretty faithful remake in almost every aspect, but there are some things thatKonamihas changed to fit in better with today’s modern gaming landscape. For example, the game will offer players a “New Style” of controls, which ditches the original game’s top-down view and original controls for a more modern third-person perspective.

First reported by IGN, a film production company based in the state called Stellarblade is suingPlayStationand Stellar Blade (the game) developer Shift Up over trademark infringement, with the company claiming that its business has been damaged....

AmazonPrime’sLike a Dragon: Yakuzaadaptation just dropped its first three episodes, and the reception has been… well,mixed, to say the least. While it’s had a couple of positive reviews, detractors have highlighted that it’s entirely lacking the comedy of the games it’s based on.

Chainsaw revved, beer gut sucked in, it’s time to spill some sprite guts and get groovy....

The power-ups are imaginative, the levels are filled with fun-to-find secrets, it feels great to play, and everything looks and sounds sunny, bright, and beautiful. I’m on board with all the reviews, and don’t disagree with the assertion that it may be the best 3D platformer sinceSuper Mario Odyssey. But Astro Bot can’t beat Odyssey for one simple reason: platformers are better portable....
