Game Ranter Banter: Roger Ebert, Curt Schilling And The 3DS XL The Game Ranter Banter is a place where we talk about the biggest news of the week, which means many of our readers are probably expecting this intro to revolve around our controversial booth babe editorial. No, we’d rather talk about something more important: can you believe Earth Defense Force 2017 is coming to the Vita? Man that is gonna be AWESOME!...
Getting started is a little clunky. In addition to downloading Game Room itself (which includes 15 games you can demo/buy) there are separate “game packs” to download. The two packs that are available now make up 15 additional games, but you don’t know what games are in the packs until you download them, which is a bit annoying. Adding to the annoyance is that when you first get into Game Room, you might not even find the games....
In a viral TikTok video that has over 105,000 views and over 10,000 likes at the time of this writing, rainbowbabe91 discussed their experience with buying a used Xbox Series X console from GameStop. According to rainbowbabe91’s account, her husband set up the Xbox Series X console and everything seemed fine, but then the next day it was making strange noises. It was then discovered that the used Xbox Series X console allegedly had cockroaches living inside it....
Through the years, video games have grown to tell deeper and more vibrant stories that dive into humanity and what it means to be human. With this evolution in game narratives, telling stories of humanity through historical games have been one of the many ways studios have enriched the messages of their projects. Not only do video games like to visit the past to recreate already-known worlds, but looking towards what lies ahead is another way games have explored humanity, predicting what the far or distant future might hold for civilization....
While it was initially announced to be released in 2021, the game was delayed to the following year, citing the game needing refinement before release. While the release date for the game was initially set in stone for April 8, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp would get delayed again. While the reason for this delay was stated in consideration of ongoing “world events,” it’s heavily implied the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia was the main reason....
With Christmas just a few days away, many gamers have been getting into the holiday spirit in a variety of creative ways. One way to celebrate the holidays in a unique way is to combine one’s love of gaming with the traditional Christmas decoration staples. Earlier this week a Pokemon fan created a festive Christmas tree inspired by the franchise. This isn’t the only game themed Christmas tree to hit the internet this week....
The PlayStation 3 was released in 2006 and was not one of the best-selling Sony consoles at first. Reviewers critiqued the console’s price and lack of good games, and the PS3 had to compete with the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Sony had much more success with the subsequent PS3 Slim and Super Slim PS3 models. Both the PS3 Slim and Super Slim had better sales numbers and received significantly more positive reviews than the original PS3....
RELATED: Incredibly Ambitious Video Games That Were Cancelled Games that get stuck in development hell can sometimes still be a major success, with notable examples being Resident Evil 4and L.A. Noire, but generally speaking, games that fall into the unfortunate cycle often either don’t release or fail to impress. Unfortunately, the following games on this list are all rumored to be in development hell. 6 Star Wars: Eclipse Star Wars: Eclipse’s entry on this list will likely surprise a lot of people, as the game was only announced at the end of 2021....
They’re still around today with Sonic Origins, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and the Capcom Fighting Collection. The latter brought Darkstalkers out of the vault alongside some hidden gems. So, it would be nice to see other companies gather their brawlers together too. Like SNK. Their bigger series have received compilations, and some of their more obscure entries have turned up as separate entries on digital storefronts. But if SNK put together their own Fighting Collection, which underrated gems would appear on it?...
RELATED: Great PlayStation Games To Play A more recent example is God of War, which emerged on PS2 as a game based on Greek mythology and has now become a completely different experience on PlayStation 5. That said, not every game is as lucky. A few games try to aim for a sequel but fail for various reasons. Let’s take a look at ten such titles. 10 Half-Life 2 Almost every gamer in 2022 is aware of the whole Half-Life 3 confirmed meme, and that’s all because of the hype surrounding it....
In a tweet posted Sunday afternoon, Keighley confirmed some of the plans the team has for Gamescom. These details were just finalized as the team is doing rehearsals for Opening Night Live. The show is being shot live from a studio in Los Angeles with no live audience, which is fairly being criticized by some due to COVID-19 concerns. The run time remains 2 hours long, but the content has been boosted from 20+ games to 38....
GameStop has had a rough time as of late, with it losing more than $600 million dollars last year. However, the company is trying to adapt its business model to a shifting market, though the changes it’s making may prove to be unpopular with its customers. GameStop will be raising the cost of its Pro Membership program from $14.99 to $19.99, a move that will certainly upset many of the company’s remaining customers....
GameStop currently has five titles, four of them being first-party, on sale for the Nintendo Switch on their website. All five are listed as being in new condition for $39.99, a discount from $10 to $20 depending on the game. Players looking for an even lower price can select the pre-owned option and save another $2. GameStop is also offering free shipping to the player’s home or free in-store pickup....
In case you haven’t been following the events today, allow us to explain. Square Enix - the publisher of Deus Ex: Human Revolution - had worked with streaming game service OnLive by including a free coupon code with every physical PC copy of the game.

GameStop’s official reason for closing its stores on Thanksgiving is that it wants “both our guests and our associates to have the opportunity to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and spend time with family and friends.” However, GameStop has been open on Thanksgiving in years past, typically opening its doors in the afternoon on the holiday to kick off its big annual Black Friday deals. But while consumers won’t be able to shop in-store at GameStop on Thanksgiving this year, some alternative options have been announced....
From my perspective, it was nice to take a little break from thinking about my transfers and thinking about FPL whilst we had the chance to witness the ‘magic’ of the FA cup. Fair play to QPR for knocking my lads (Leeds United) out and at least I can say… we can now focus on the league 😉 So here’s my picks for GW22 – I did post 4 picks last week for GW22 so you lucky lot are getting another 6 today!...
These might act as a nice little enabler and all of these picks have a match during blank gameweek 33. #1 James Maddison - Midfielder (£6.8m) Goals: 6 Assists: 6 Season points: 115 Upcoming fixtures: HUD (A), NEW (H), WHU (A) I previewed Youri Tielamans a couple of gameweeks ago and he’s still a great pick. If you want to pick somebody who’s likely to be owned by more people then ‘Maddo’ is your man....

And while players are often deployed to finish what these failures of assassins have started, sometimes their epic fails remain an indelible ink in the gaming industry....
The game between Miami Northwestern and Glades Central was canceled because of “gang violence in the area.” A shooting near Glades Central that forced the school into lockdown during a Thursday night activity is a big reason for the cancellation, the Palm Beach Post reported.
