Sadly, but unsurprisingly, PlayStation didn't have any Bloodborne news during its recent State of Play, but that doesn't mean there isn't a new Bloodborne product releasing soon. Well, newish. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Future Press is re-releasing its long out-of-print Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide. This massive, officially licensed book originally released back in 2017 as a collector's edition with some cool bonus content geared toward dedicated Bloodborne fans. You can...
Shadow of the Erdtree doesn't waste any time reminding you that you will die frequently, as an early encounter with the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss is brutal. Inspired by Chinese lion dances, it turns out that this boss is actually two dudes in a coat masquerading as a monster and not some horrible abomination dreamt up by its creators. It's just like all those kids in Saturday-morning cartoons pretending to be adults when they hid themselves under a trenchcoat and combined their height...
PDP's Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (plus PC) sold out instantly when it went up for preorder earlier this year.

GameStop has the Xbox Series X|S Riffmaster controller in stock for $130 with free one- to three-day shipping. This model also works wirelessly with PC and Xbox One. The PlayStation version of the controller was...
It's probably not the best year to release a Starship Troopers game. Helldivers 2, a Starship Troopers game in most ways other than name, took over the gaming world when it launched in February, and today remains a big hit for players on PS5 and PC who want a fun co-op horde shooter pitting them against countless waves of alien bugs (among other threats). Launched into Steam Early Access last year, Starship Troopers: Extermination is soon hitting 1.0 and coming to consoles, which gives it a...
Xbox has made headlines throughout 2024 for some of the dramatic business decisions it's made, including laying off more than 1,000 people and shuttering studios. Specifically, many have commented on and passionately reacted to the closure of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks. But why close Tango, and what efforts might have been made to avoid such a move? Xbox president of gaming content and studios Matt Booty was asked by Variety if Microsoft attempted to seek another buyer for Tango...
The next Assassin's Creed is once again featuring two playable protagonists. However, instead of having the choice of playing as a man or a woman (like in Odyssey and Valhalla), Assassin's Creed Shadows takes a page out of Syndicate's book and sees you play as two separate characters: a shinobi named Naoe and a samurai named Yasuke. Beyond the fact that it seems like Ubisoft is incapable of making an Assassin's Creed game with a woman as the sole lead, there doesn't seem to be a good reason...
Slay the Princess may have snuck under the radar a bit when it launched last year, but it was still one of the best games of 2023. In fact, it ended up as the fifth highest-rated game for PC on Metacritic in 2023--earning a stellar 90 Metascore. The digital game is getting a second life in 2024 with the physical release of Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut on September 26. So if you haven't yet played through the horrific visual novel, this is a great time to dive in. If you're interested...
