Games are good these days aren't they? What a nice state of affairs. Sadly, it means that if I was to say that ElecHead is a supremely smart platforming puzzle game, you might be a little underwhelmed. Games are so good these days! You probably have hundreds of supremely smart platforming puzzle games you can pick from. Many, like ElecHead, will use a simple idea explored in a range of ingenious ways. Many, like ElecHead, will come from teams of one or two people toiling brilliantly on projects they're passionate about. So what makes ElecHead truly special? I feel that it is, but I can't yet put it into words. Let's talk about it and see what happens.

In ElecHead, you play a dinky little robot whose head carries an electrical charge. Stand on a metal platform and the platform shares your charge. This means in visual terms that it lights up a certain colour, and so does everything else connected to it - nice and clear, no misreading the situation. In mechanical terms, it means that anything connected to that platform requiring electricity starts to work: platforms start to move, blocks that are ghosted out suddenly pop back to life, machinery starts to do its machinery thing. As long as you're connected to the platform, it will run.

Atlus is in the home stretch of its massive series of trailers showcasing the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

This time around we get to see Metatron in action. Inspired by the class of angels in Abrahamic mythology, he debuted (like most Angels) in the series with Shin Megami Tensei II in 1994.

You can watch the trailer below.

Halloween is coming, and Resident Evil Village is certainly an appropriate choice to celebrate the spooky season. To help with that, this giveaway will let you win a bunch of awesome collectibles courtesy of Capcom.

To be more specific, you can win one of five bundles including a Chris Redfield figure, a cloth map, and an artbook.

You can see them in the gallery. As you’ll probably notice, they are the same collectibles that were included in the (now sold out) Collector’s Edition of the game. This means that if you missed that, now it’s your chance to get the items.

It’s relevant to mention that the prize does not include the rest of the collector’s edition (The game itself, the special box, the steelbook, and the Trauma Pack code), what you see in the gallery at the bottom of the post is what you get.

Important: due to shipping agreements, this giveaway is open only to residents in the United States excluding Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico. We apologize if you can’t participate, but there will be more giveaways for everyone soon.

The way to get involved is really, really easy.

All you have to do is comment on our articles, everywhere on the site, and add at the end of your comment the word “US” if you live in the United States, which makes your comment eligible. The more you comment, the better your chances, as each comment basically works like a raffle ticket.

An important caveat is that comments on this post are not eligible for the giveaway. Of course, you’re welcome to comment here, but in order to participate, you need to comment at least on one other article.

"No wonder it's hard to stop grazing on avocados: they taste like grass and have the texture of butter."

In 2010, Niki Segnit published The Flavour Thesaurus, a compact and distinctly durable hardback that does exactly what the title suggests it will. It puts flavours together and explains what the most harmonious combinations create. The book is a beauty, silvery board covers and fore-edges stained the warm, watercolour pink of Dragonfruit skin, a tone wheel that is actually a flavour wheel directing your eye. The whole thing's pretty but also hardy - a tool at heart, a book to withstand spattering from the hob.

It has been a long time coming, but we are finally going to get more Tiger & Bunny in 2022. To make things even sweeter, Netflix is swooping in with the announcement that both Tiger & Bunny Part 1 and 2 will be heading to the streaming service in April next year.

The news comes via an announcement at Netflix Festival Japan that is currently underway in the land of the rising sun. In addition to the great news, fans are also treated to promotional art starring the pair of Kotetsu T. Kubaragi and Barnaby Brooks Jr, as well as their alter-egos, Wild Tiger and Bunny.

First arriving on the anime scene back in 2011, the two heroes join forces in a bid to climb the ranks and be crowned the best heroes in the world. There is also the small matter of tracking down the murderers of Barnaby’s parents, which provides a nice complement to the heroic stuff.

With differing views on how heroes should function in a society, the partnership between the pair will get a sterner examination in Tiger & Bunny Part 2 on Netflix, especially as they face down super-powered villains on their journey.

You can take a look a look at the full tweet and promotional art down below:

Atlus released another of its many trailers showcasing the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

This time around we get to see the gameplay of Beelzebub, inspired by the demon in Abrahamic and Christian mythology. He debuted in the series with Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei and his design certainly takes the “Lord of the Flies” title very much literally.

You can watch him in action below.

Fans of Call of Duty: Warzone are looking forward to engaging in a new theater of operations, but Activision has not revealed much ahead of launch next month. However, eagle-eyed members of the community have spotted important information about the new Call of Duty: Warzone map of Caldera, and it comes from a promotional jacket for Call of Duty: Vanguard sent to content creators.

As Charlie Intel has helpfully pointed out, Activision chief creative officer Pelle Sjoenell was engaging in some sneaky guerilla marketing when he tweeted out a picture of said jacket. Found in the liner is the map of Caldera sewn into it.

It has been a while since we last saw anything of Scorn, a first-person shooter that is heavy on the horror elements. Since its latest trailer emerged at an Inside Xbox event in 2020, any new developments saw a delay of the game. It should not be surprising then, that another delay has befallen Scorn, with the game now targeting a 2022 release.

This follows an initial target of fall 2021 set at Gamescom earlier this year. The development of the game has not been smooth, to say the least. The Giger-inspired FPS was part of the Steam Greenlight program back in the day, and was supposed to launch in two parts in 2017.

A Kickstarter set up later that year saw success with $223,000 raised, but the purported 2018 release window was not met either. For fans of Scorn, they have been dealt blow after blow, with the latest delay being just another obstacle to overcome.

While it can be argued that the perks and benefits of being a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber aren’t all that enticing at the time of writing, every so often the company surprises us with a few freebies that are actually pretty nice. In this case, Switch Online subscribers will be able to enjoy a free trial of The World Ends With You: Final Mix, Square Enix’s modern-day Tokyo JRPG with an impeccable sense of style and music.

The trial will run from Nov. 10 to 16, ending at 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time. During this time, players will be able to download and play the game for free, then purchase it after the trial period is over if they’re bought over by it.

With the new League of Legends series, Arcane, arriving to great reception on Netflix, Riot Games is capitalizing on the hype to celebrate the launch. Dubbed Progress Days, this series of collaborations and celebrations are taking place across not just the company’s own games, but also others like Among Us and Fortnite.

Progress Days just so happens to be a holiday celebrated by the folks of Piltover in the show, and as expected, there is plenty to look forward to. First up, Among Us and Arcane are getting together to offer players the chance to look like a Piltover enforcer or the character Heimerdinger.

It might come as a surprise to some, but Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is still motoring along with new content set to arrive in the action-adventure title. Support for the Viking-themed game comes in the form of a new roadmap, which should set Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players up for at least the next two months.

Players can look forward to November 9, which is when Title Update 1.4.0 will launch. This will include a free game activity in the form of Tombs of the Fallen, and we can expect more bug fixes and improvements overall.

Following that, the roadmap reveals the coming of the limited-time event, Oskoreia Festival, to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This will run from November 11 to December. While details are still hazy, it should function similarly to the other festivals that have graced the game thus far.

The last month of the year will then see Title Update 1.4.1. Based on the image shared, we could be in for a festive time in the snow come December, and for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla fans, that would be a great way to end off the year. More details about the various aspects of the roadmap will be shared in the future, but for now, it is safe to say that the support for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is not ending anytime soon.

Developed by Turtle Rock Studios, Back 4 Blood was released just last month and it serves as a spiritual successor to the widely beloved Left 4 Dead 2. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with it, even if it seems as though the game is suffering from a few queue issues here and there.

That said, Turtle Rock will be continuing to support the game with free updates, as detailed in their content roadmap posted on Twitter today.

Annual Pass holders will be able to enjoy the Tunnels of Terror expansion that’s set to release next year, but there’s still plenty of content to enjoy in the free updates as well. Here are some of the features you can expect in the coming months:

The Fortnite Item Shop has updated once again, bringing a host of skins, styles, and other cosmetics to the game. While the digital store is without any brand-new cosmetics today, it's rather loaded with fan-favorite characters from seasons past. Here's everything in the Fortnite Item Shop for November 9, 2021.

At the top of the list, both literally and in the hearts of many players, is the return of Toon Meowscles. This Golden Age-inspired cartoon version of everyone's favorite weightlifting feline was a huge hit when he debuted over the summer, and now he's back alongside his full slate of cosmetics including a Fortnite original hip hop song made for the hero. All of that and more is included in the Toon Meowscles cosmetic bundle for 2,200 V-Bucks. Here's what's included in the Inkville Gang set:

• Toon Meowscles skin
• Toona Can back bling
• Ten-Ton Toon-Bells pickaxe
• Fantastic Cat loading screen
• Squash and Stretch built-in emote
• Drop In lobby track featuring Trippie Redd

If all of that isn't enough animated hijinx, you can also get the Chugga Chugga emote separately for 600 V-Bucks, which is both a synced emote, meaning other players can join you in performing it, as well as a traversal emote, so you can get the whole squad--or even lobby--taking the train across the map.

Back in February, it was announced that Mass Effect Legendary Edition wasn’t going to be including everything in the trilogy, because the source code for a single piece of old DLC—Pinnacle Station, which we reviewed back in 2009—had been lost.

Dinga Bakaba, game director on Arkane Lyon's critically acclaimed Deathloop, has been appointed new head of studio following the departure of Romuald Capron last month.

Ubisoft Montreal revealed additional details for Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, Season 4: High Calibre. The season introduces Thorn, a new defender operator that Ubisoft Montreal describes as a trapper.

"Thorn's gadget is called the Razorbloom Shell," Rainbow Six Siege game designer Dominic Clément said during High Calibre's reveal, which is embedded below. "It's a sticky device you can throw pretty much everywhere on the map and it's going to stick on pretty much any surface."

As seen in Thorn's reveal trailer, the Razorbloom Shell is a proximity-based gadget. Once placed, an attacker must wander into its range in order for the gadget to activate. Upon activation, the attacker has a brief window of opportunity to decide whether to push ahead, retreat, or destroy the gadget before it explodes. When used correctly, the Razorbloom Shell is designed to force attackers into panicking and moving without careful consideration, which can prime them for ambush.

"We wanted to iterate on the idea of a trap operator and trap gadget," Clément said. "A lot of the gadgets that we have right now that are traps are pretty binary--either you walk into them and you get the effect or you don't. So with this gadget, we wanted to see what happens when you give the players a little more time to react and you give them a couple options."

Activision has formally announced a co-marketing deal with Doritos and Mountain Dew to offer Call of Duty players double XP and double weapon XP for both Call of Duty: Vanguard and the battle royale game Warzone.

"One hand on the controller the other in a bag of Doritos," the publisher said in a tweet from the Call of Duty Twitter account. It's a simple promotion: buy the specially marked bags of Doritos products and redeem the double XP codes on the Call of Duty/Doritos website. The double XP also applies to specially marked Mountain Dew products.

The Doritos Call of Duty campaign was first revealed back in September when the specially marked bags of the chips began to appear in the wild.

Following up 2018’s World War II epic, Battlefield V, Dice is abandoning the past and setting its sights on the very near future. Battlefield 2042 will throw players into massive skirmishes set in a tumultuous world ravaged by one of our current greatest existential threats: climate change. What does Dice have in store for Battlefield’s grand return to the modern era? Here’s everything you need to know about this much-anticipated shooter.

What’s changing from previous Battlefield games?

Unlike the last handful of entries in the series, Battlefield 2042 is returning to the franchise's roots with an entirely multiplayer experience. DICE has forgone the single-player campaign and is opting to deliver all of its narrative threads through the various multiplayer components, like the maps and individual Specialists you’ll play as in battle.
