Life is Strange 2 Teaser Trailer August 3, 2018

Anyone who played through the free game, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, quickly discovered that game existed to the story for the very next chapter in the Life is Strange franchise. Now, DONTNOD has confirmed they are in development of Life is Strange 2. Today, we got to see our first teaser of that game.

It’s a little hard to see exactly what is going on in this scene but I am certainly interested in learning more. Could this be a video taken from the aftermath of the first game? Could this be the work of Captain Spirit? More information is expected to drop on August 20th.

Life is Strange 2 Episode 1 is coming September 2018 to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Spider-Man on PS4 Has Gone Gold July 30, 2018

The guys over at Insomniac Games have confirmed earlier today that the highly anticipated PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game they been working on has Gone Gold. Gone Gold is something we typically report on for games we’re looking forward to playing. Its a long-time game developer term, referring to the gold finish of the disc a finished game is printed on. Essentially, this means Spider-Man is done and we’ll be able to play it for sure in a little over a month from now. This is fantastic news, as Sony will have no problem making the game’s release date.

Spider-Man is coming September 7th, 2018 exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Control Developer Diary 2 – Gameplay July 25, 2018

Remedy has just released the second of many promised developer diaries for the upcoming game Control. This developer diary focuses on the gameplay.

Shenmue: Return to Dobuita Street Documentary July 25, 2018

We are a month away from the highly anticipated re-release of two of the most beloved SEGA games of all time, Shenmue I and II. While originally developed for the Sega Dreamcast, the games broke new ground on open-world interactive environments. However, as this documentary shows, the environments used in the original game were not imagined, they were based on real locations you can visit today.

Sit back and relax while two Shenmue superfans visit the actual real-world locations recreated for the original games in anticipation for the upcoming re-release.

We missed out on the Shenmue series back in the day due to several factors. Over that time we’ve endured constant reminders of the game’s greatness and so we are very happy SEGA is porting them to current consoles.

Shenmue I & II HD is coming August 21st, 2018 to PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Shin Megami Tensei Game Now On SmartPhones July 25, 2018

No you did not read that wrong. The Shin Megami Tensei Series has been well-known to die-hard RPG players for quite some time and today we are happy to announce SEGA has published an all-new Free-to-Play SMT game for Smartphones and Tablets. Here’s the trailer:

Just a bit of a factoid as to why we didn’t post this information a day earlier. That’s because we have been playing this game nearly non-stop over the past twelve hours.

Shin Megami Tensai D x 2 is out now for Android and iOS Smartphones and tablets.

Reminder: Legendary Pokémon Distribution at Target Stores Until July 28 July 24, 2018

We’re a little late posting this story up but we have a very good reason for that. The Pokémon Company has once again decided to distribute this month’s Legendary Pokémon, Tornadus and Thunderous at Target retail stores across the US. Take a look.

Unlike the previous time Target held this promotion, this month’s distribution has been a big headache. At least one store in my area did not have codes and didn’t have a clue what I was talking about when I asked about them. In that case you’ll simply have to leave and try a different store. I’ve also noticed that the employees at the Target stores in my area are not leaving their codes with their technical people, they’re now being left in the open on the store shelves near the Pokémon video game collectibles. Ask an employee near the electronics section where your code might be.

The codes will work in copies of Pokémon Sun, Pokémon Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon. Those games are out now exclusively for Nintendo 3DS systems.

Pokemon Go Zapdos Raid Now Live July 21, 2018

Pokémon Go players will be happy to find out that the rewards they unlocked earlier in the month are finally active.

As of 2PM EST, The legendary Pokémon Zapdos is currently docked at Gym locations all across the US ready for raid challengers to take them on. Check in at your local Gym and you’ll probably find a very high level Zapdos hanging out there for the next two and a half hours.

If you can’t catch the Pokémon on your first attempt, don’t worry. You’ll be able to obtain a maximum of five Raid passes today.

Pokémon Go is out now for Android and iOS Smartphones and Tablets.
