Fallout 76 players trying to participate in the Fasnacht Parade just can't seem to get enough intestines to fill up the butcher’s icebox. I know, it sounds like we made this up, but I swear it's a real problem.
Both Fallout 76 and Anthem released a little bit of news this week, which made us wonder, at what point should a game just stop trying to save itself? The answer (as it usually is) probably comes down to money.
This week we saw the announcement of three new remakes coming out this year, including Mafia 1-3, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 and Diablo 2.
Geoff Keighley (creator of The Game Awards) is bringing you four months of summer this year in the form of Summer Game Fest, an virtual event billed as an "industry-wide celebration of video games". It will feature in-game events, playable content, demos of select titles and playable games on Steam and Xbox!
If you wanted to play a ton of remastered amazing video games on your Switch, May is going to be a great month for you!

Cooking Mama's problems started out when Twitter accused it of mining cryptocurrency while people played the game.

After last week's announcement that the PS5 had only been tested with "about" 100 PS4 games, Sony came out this week and announced that they had actually tested it with far more games than that and that it would be compatible with at least some of them. How many? Who knows to be honest.In other game news: HP, Valve and Microsoft Are Building the VR Headset of the Future Playstation Is Slowing Game Downloads in Europe, Could the US Be Next (and Would We Notice)Minecraft is Helping Kids Stuck at H...
Playstation had the most incredibly boring presentation ever conceived of today, hosted by a guy that looked like Dana Carvey that talked like a cross between Ben Stein and Mr. Rogers. We learned a lot about SSD, backwards compatibility and how the number of flops in a PS5 compares to the number of flops in an Xbox Series X. Ultimately? They are both really fast computers.
