Resident Evil Classic Games Get Big GOG Bundle Deal Just In Time For Halloween

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 02:41
See at GOG

GOG is offering a frighteningly good deal on its Resident Evil Classic Bundle, as part of its Fall 2025 sale. This collection includes classic Resident Evil games that have gone through the GOG preservation program, ensuring that they'll be compatible with modern PCs. Normally $60, the bundle is on sale for $27, a massive 55% discount.

See at GOG

The Resident Evil Classic Bundle includes the first three mainline games, Resident Evil HD Remaster, and the prequel Resident Evil 0. Like other GOG releases, each game in this package is DRM-free, and numerous improvements have been made to each one. Alongside updates to make them compatible with modern Windows operating systems, the games include several language localizations, new graphical rendering options, controller support, and cloud save support.

These older Resident Evil games also had several game-breaking bugs, but GOG has worked to fix them up. As for the games, the Resident Evil series introduced a new standard for survival-horror when the franchise kicked off in 1996. The first game was set in a creepy mansion infested with bioweapons that had broken free from containment, setting the stage for the signature action and puzzle-solving gameplay that the series became known for. Resident Evil 2 expanded on these ideas as the Umbrella Corporation's experiments transformed Raccoon City into a warzone, and Resident Evil 3 introduced the infamous Nemesis, a seemingly unkillable monster that would stalk players.

Nintendo Denied Japanese Patent For Pokemon-Like Capturing Mechanic

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 02:40

In September, Nintendo was granted a US patent for "the fundamental gameplay mechanic of summoning a character and letting it fight another” within a video game. At the time, that was seen as an attempt to block any future Pokemon imitators like Palworld. Nintendo went out for another Pokemon-inspired patent in Japan, but the outcome wasn't in its favor this time.

As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Nintendo filed a Japanese patent for a mechanic in a game that allows the player to throw an item that captures a character, like the Pokeballs in Pokemon. However, the application was denied because a third party submitted evidence from Ark, Craftopia, Monster Hunter 4 and more to prove that the mechanic isn't limited to Pokemon games and that it already exists.

GamesFray first noticed the rejection, and added that it's plausible that the third party was Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld. While that would make sense, it's conjecture for now. Pocketpair is still engaged in a legal battle with Nintendo over Palworld's alleged infringement on Nintendo's preexisting patents. That led Pocketpair to remove Pal Spheres and other features from Palworld that fell under the patents held by Nintendo.

Fortnite Will Let You Buy Pet Sidekicks Next Month

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 02:00

Fortnite's long-rumored pets cosmetic, officially dubbed "sidekicks" by Epic Games, will finally see the light of day on November 1 when Fortnite's new Simpsons-themed mini-season begins. These sidekicks will be little pets that follow you around and do emotes and "react to the world around you," according to Epic.

The first sidekick will be a banana dog called Peels, which will be included in the Simpsons battle pass that launches November 1. Three more sidekicks will hit the item shop on November 7, including Bonesy the dog, which was on a pet back bling in a battle pass years ago in Chapter 1. Folks who have the original Bonesey back bling will receive the new sidekick version of Bonesy for free. We have no information about pricing yet.

Take a look at the first wave of Fortnite sidekicks.

While all this sounds cool, there is a monkey's paw component to sidekicks as well. Each sidekick is customizable, but you can only design the way it looks--meaning the color of its skin, scales or fur, or whether it has horns, and other physical characteristics--a single time. If you want to make one that looks different, you'll have to buy a new copy, seemingly at full price. The idea with this is that each critter you design is a unique being. But there are other ways to customize your sidekicks without paying more. You'll unlock accessories for your sidekicks, like little hats and shirts, by running with them in the game.

Apex Legends Season 27 Wants Valkyrie and Horizon to Control the Skies Again

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 02:00

Apex Legends Season 27: Amped goes live on November 4. It arrives with a big map update for Olympus, aerial combat buffs for Valkyrie and Horizon, new compatibility between the Alternator and the Double Tap, and more.

We received early info about the upcoming season from several members of the development team at Respawn. Senior level designer Michael Shannon, Legend designer Ian Holstead, weapons designer Casey O'Brien, and lead battle royale designer Eric Canavese all provided us with details about what's to come in Season 27.

New heights for Olympus

This season's rework for Olympus focuses on verticality and airborne action. Four new points-of-interest have been added, each embracing Olympus's anti-gravity nature in its own unique way. Somers University, Gravity Engine, Stabilizer, and Dockyard are all designed to get players into airborne firefights and moving around the map faster.

Pac-Man Goes Trick-Or-Treating In Google's Halloween Doodle

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 01:59

Halloween is upon us, and Google is serving up a blast from the arcade past with a special 45th anniversary edition of Pac-Man. The game is fully playable right on the homepage, with our yellow hero having traded his usual neon maze for something a bit spookier: Eight eerie levels, including four haunted houses that each mirror the personality of their ghostly resident.

When Pac-Man first hit Japanese arcades in 1980, it was an instant cultural phenomenon. Designed by Toru Iwatani and inspired by a pizza missing a slice, the game stood out in an era dominated by space shooters. Its simple premise--gobble dots, dodge ghosts, and clear mazes--quickly became addictive fun that crossed borders and generations. The ghosts even had their own personalities and names (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde), setting a new standard for character design in gaming.

Last Halloween, Google took mascot Momo the cat on a space adventure where you had to take on ghosts and even a haunted sun. Google's interactive Doodles already has an impressive lineup, from the cricket match Doodle from 2017, where you play as a cricket, to the Coding for Carrots game that let kids learn programming basics through a hopping bunny. Now, Pac-Man gets to join them in his tricky treat adventure.

How One Creepy Little Banana Took Over Roblox

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 01:29

Lewis creates Roblox avatars for a living, designing the digital personas that hundreds of thousands of players inhabit and customize. Roblox avatars aren't just skins--they're a combination of style and personal expression. Every hat, accessory, and costume piece is a brushstroke in a player's digital identity, and Lewis's work allows people to tell stories about themselves in a virtual world.

One of the most famous creations from Lewis, who goes by Bad_B0y in the Roblox community, is the Banana Bro: a chill, somewhat-creepy looking banana with a mog-meme expression that became an unlikely icon on the platform.

"I just uploaded it thinking, 'This is a funny guy. He's a chill banana,'" Bad_B0y told GameSpot. "He had the mog. That little detail gave him personality. I thought, 'What if I slap this on a banana? Maybe the pill can be the arms.' It seemed silly, but a lot of people thought it was funny too."

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update Will Let You Play Retro Games With One Silly Catch

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 00:57

The upcoming free update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons contains a slew of new features, including one not seen in the series since the first game. Through obtainable retro console items, you can play classic Nintendo games in your villager's home--though only if you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Among the additions in the game's version 3.0 update is a resort hotel run by Kapp'n and his family; if you help them out at the hotel, its souvenir shop will offer retro Nintendo toys and game consoles, including the Game Boy, NES, and SNES.

You can then place these consoles in your home and play "a select classic game on each system." The trailer shows the player character booting up the NES classic Ice Climber, but it's unclear if you can play more than one game per system, and which games are available to play.

Amazon Cancels Its Lord Of The Rings MMO Amid Major Layoffs - Report

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 00:56

Amazon has reportedly cancelled its second attempt at developing a Lord of the Rings MMO, following a new round of layoffs at Amazon Games. The news came from former senior gameplay engineer Ashleigh Amrine, who revealed on LinkedIn that she and others working on the project had been let go (via Rock Paper Shotgun). This comes shortly after Amazon also announced it would stop developing New World, its colonial fantasy MMO, though servers will remain active until 2026.

"It's always tough to see such a strong team go through something like this," Amrine wrote in her post yesterday. "I've been lucky to work with some of the most skilled, creative, and kind developers I've ever met here."

This new Lord of the Rings MMO was first announced in 2023, after Amazon partnered with Embracer Group, the current owner of Middle-earth's rights. It was described as a "persistent open-world adventure" that would span events from The Hobbit through The Lord of the Rings. However, details about the game were scarce, and now it seems the project has ended before reaching the public. This follows Amazon’s first attempt in 2019, which collapsed in 2021 after a contractual dispute when its partner, Leyou, was bought by Tencent.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Finally Getting New Content And Switch 2 Upgrade

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 00:56

Nintendo has revealed that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will receive a Switch 2 Edition as well as a beefy new update on the original Switch. Planned to arrive January 15, the Switch 2 upgrade will cost $5 (if you already own the game) while version 3.0 on Switch will be a free patch.

The exclusive features for Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch 2 Edition include improved resolution, Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, and a new megaphone item to use your voice to find residents. Nintendo states that in TV Mode, the game will run at 30fps in 4K. Meanwhile, the mouse controls work with indoor decorations and design-making, while online will support up to 12 players as long as everyone is using a Switch 2. GameChat will work, too, meaning voice chat support as well as added camera functionality to see people's faces in-game.

The free update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons--which will apply to the Switch and Switch 2--introduces the Resort Hotel, Slumber Island, and even Lego furniture. The family of Kapp'n runs the new hotel off the pier, letting players decorate themed rooms for tourists. Slumber Island looks to be all about customizing and decorating with friends online. And the crossovers don't stop with Lego, as The Legend of Zelda and Splatoon Amiibo can be utilized to unlock characters and items from those popular franchises. Players will also find new Nintendo items, even playable NES, SNES, and Game Boy systems (if you're a Switch Online subscriber).

Arc Raiders Off To A Strong Start, But Servers Are Struggling To Keep Up With Player Demand

Fri, 10/31/2025 - 00:08

Arc Raiders has officially launched, and like several other live-service games, the servers for the extraction shooter game are currently being overwhelmed with people attempting to log in. On Steam alone, the game has currently peaked at 153,919 players at the time of writing (via SteamDB), and that's not even factoring in players on the Epic Games Store version or console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Naturally, a lot of people are getting error connection messages, with the issue being compounded by players constantly trying their luck to gain access. Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios hasn't issued a formal statement yet, but if you're one of the people affected by online connection errors, you may want to be patient and wait for things to die down a little.

A rocky start to online games isn't novel these days, with numerous live-service titles all experiencing these teething pains. Helldivers 2 was an infamous example, with other games like Destiny 2 and World of Warcraft also experiencing surges in player traffic during the launch of new expansions. We haven't even reached the weekend yet, so Arc Raiders is likely going to see even more players flock to its servers for a few days of post-apocalyptic scavenging.

Resident Evil Requiem Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Preorders Are Live

The first special-edition Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller has been revealed, and it's a surprising one. Nintendo is releasing a limited-edition Pro Controller themed around Resident Evil Requiem, the next mainline entry in Capcom's survival horror series. The Resident Evil Requiem Edition Pro Controller is available to preorder for $100 at Best Buy and the Nintendo Store. It launches alongside the game on February 27, 2026.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller - Resident Evil Requiem $100

The Resident Evil Requiem Edition of the official Switch 2 Pro Controller is the same shade of black as the standard model. Where it differs is the front faceplate has a fictional newspaper clipping published in Raccoon City.

You can see the words "Resident Evil" running along the top of the controller and "Requiem" right below it. Excerpts from articles published in the paper and photographs of the bleak situation on the ground are also pictured. It's a pretty cool design, even if it is somewhat understated due to the lack of contrasting colors.

The Resident Evil Requiem Edition is 10 bucks more than the standard Switch 2 Pro Controller, which is a fairly common price bump for a themed first-party controller.

Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller - Resident Evil Requiem Edition

Switch 2 owners can preorder two different physical editions of Requiem, both of which are limited edition and cost $90. The Resident Evil Generation Pack comes with Requiem, Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, and Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition. The Resident Evil Deluxe Edition comes with a steelbook case, lenticular card, and a bunch of digital content. Check out GameSpot's Resident Evil Requiem preorder guide for more details.

Nintendo will also release a Switch 2 Amiibo for Requiem's protagonist Grace Ashcroft. We don't know what the figure looks like or its price, but Street Fighter 6 Amiibo retail for $40, so that seems like a distinct possibility for the Grace Ashcroft Amiibo. Unfortunately, the Amiibo won't be available at launch, and it currently has a vague Summer 2026 launch window.

Take-Two CEO Doesn't Believe AI Can Compete With Grand Theft Auto

Thu, 10/30/2025 - 12:23

The age of AI has barely begun, but there are some in the industry who see it as an absolute necessity for the future. Electronic Arts, for example, has reportedly instructed its employees to treat AI as "thought partners" in every aspect of game creation. However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick isn't buying into the hype, and he doesn't believe AI will ever be able to compete with Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto games.

"Let's say there were no constraints [on AI]," said Zelnick during an appearance on CNBC. "Could we push a button tomorrow and create an equivalent to the Grand Theft Auto marketing plan? The answer is no. A, you can't do that yet, and B, I am of the view that you wouldn't end up with anything very good. You end up with something pretty derivative."

Zelnick went on to explain that AI can't innovate, because it's "backward-looking" by design and its predictive models are built on things that have already been created, rather than anything new.

Lego Insiders who order the set between November 1 and 7 will also get the Lego Ideas The Goonies: The Walsh's Attic as a preorder bonus, while supplies last.

Lego Ideas: The Goonies (2,912 pieces) $330 | Releases November 4

This 2,912-piece set recreates the infamous pirate ship that holds One-Eyed Willie's treasure. It's full of interactive elements and it's designed to be a diorama piece that you can display on your shelf. You'll also need to make some space, as the fully assembled set measures a whopping 24.5 inches in length and is 14 inches tall from mast to keel.

Get 12 Super Mario Mystery Yoshi Toys For Only $24 At Amazon

Thu, 10/30/2025 - 10:49
See at Amazon

With the holiday season fast approaching, now is a good time to start grabbing a few affordable stocking stuffers or party favors. And if you have a Super Mario fan on your shopping list, you may want to check out this mystery box of Yoshi toys before Amazon sells out. Amazon is selling a 12-pack of TOMY Yoshi Wind-Up Figures--with the box included--for only $24.41.

This deal is shipped and sold by Amazon, and we were frankly a bit surprised to see it. Super Mario mystery capsules like these tend to sell for $5 or $6 each in stores, and sellers on eBay are asking for more for these specific Yoshi toys. But if you buy the box from Amazon, you're only paying $2.03 per Yoshi.

TOMY Super Mario: Yoshi Wind-Up Mystery Box (12-Pack) $24.41

Inspired by Japanese Gashapon machines, these egg-shaped capsules each hold one wind-up Yoshi. There are six colors in the collection: blue, red, purple, yellow, green, and pink.

You can wind them up and watch them walk across a flat surface or go head-to-head and race. The box the capsules are dispensed from is pretty cool, too.

Blind box toys are a staple in checkout lanes at grocery and department stores. If you're a parent, you have probably either purchased an overpriced capsule toy or explained to your child why you aren't paying $6 for a little plastic figure. But $2 Mario figures? That's far more reasonable.

See at Amazon

Amazon also has a 6-pack of 1.25-inch figures from The Super Mario Bros. Movie for $21. These aren't blind boxes, but they have similar appeal as small figures in Super Mario-themed Question Block containers. Unfortunately, you won't get Yoshi, because he wasn't in the movie.

Assassin's Creed Shadows launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC back in March, and now the latest entry in Ubisoft's stealth-action series is finally launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2. Preorders for the Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Edtion are available for $60 at multiple online retailers. While this version of the game doesn't include any preorder bonuses, there are a couple of benefits to picking up the Switch 2 Edition, including touch screen support for menu navigation, cross-save support, and--of course--the ability to play the game on the go thanks to the Switch 2's handheld mode.

Assassin's Creed Shadows (Nintendo Switch 2) $60 | Releases December 2

The Switch 2 version of Assassin's Creed Shadows includes the base game. This is a Game Key-Card release, meaning none of the game data is included on the cartridge, and instead it acts as physical DRM that unlocks access to the digital version of the game. This means you must download the game data to your console before you can play.

As mentioned above, there are no preorder bonuses included with the Switch 2 edition. While the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions that launched earlier this year included the Claws of Awaji story DLC as a perk for grabbing the game ealier, Switch 2 players will have to buy this post-game content separately when it launches on the eShop in 2026.

Junji Ito Manga Deluxe Editions And New Story Collection Get Great Price Cuts

See at Amazon

There's no shortage of chills to be had during the spooky season, but when it comes to pure horror, nothing comes close to the work of Junji Ito when it comes to manga. The famed mangaka has a prolific body of work, ranging from body-horror series to adaptations examining the power of the human psyche and so much more.

We've gathered up the vast majority of his printed work below, from Uzumaki to No Longer Human, so if you're in the mood for some unsettling terror that is beautifully grotesque, you're going to be spoiled for choice. Amazon has some great deals on Ito's manga, including the Deluxe Editions of Uzumaki, Gyo, and Tomie. You can even get a limited-time discount the newly released story collection Moan. Check out our favorite deals below and then browse the full catalog in list format at the bottom of this roundup.

Uzumaki 3-in-1 Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) $20 (was $35)

The manga series that put Ito on the map, Uzumaki, is widely considered to be Ito's masterpiece. A horrifying tale that explores the concept of spirals, Uzumaki features elegantly terrifying art and a slow-burning story that draws you in. Set in a small town on the coast of Japan, the story follows the young protagonists Kirie Goshima and Shuichi Saito as they investigate the hypnotic secret shape of the world. This release collects the entire manga series into a single 648-page hardcover edition and includes several color inserts.

See at Amazon Tomie Complete Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) $19 (was $35)

Another critically acclaimed series from Ito, Tomie centers on a mysterious and beautiful woman named Tomie Kawakami. The series was published in Monthly Halloween from 1987 to 2000, with stories revolving around the seemingly immortal succubus Tomie as she manipulates people into jealous fits of rage that inevitably lead to vicious acts of violence. While Tomie is frequently killed, she simply resurrects herself so that she can continue to spread her curse to other people. This hardcover edition collects the entire saga across 752 pages.

See at Amazon Gyo 2-in-1 Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) $19.20 (was $25)

One of Ito's stranger works--and that's saying something--Gyo follows a couple who find themselves in a fight for survival against a horde of undead fish with metal legs. The creatures also spread a toxic virus known as the "death stench" that has dark origins dating back to World War II.

See at Amazon No Longer Human (Hardcover) $23.48 (was $35)

An adaptation of Osamu Dazai's novel, No Longer Human was first serialized in Big Comic Original from 2017-2018. All three volumes in the series are included here, and it inverts the original story with a dark tale of ostracization, mental instability, and suicide. While several of Ito's series are focused on supernatural horror, No Longer Human is a deeper exploration of how the human psyche on its own can be even more terrifying than any monster.

See at Amazon Moan: Junji Ito Story Collection (Hardcover) $20 (was $25) | Released October 7

Six short stories from Ito, Moan includes the following tales: Supernatural Transfer Student, Moan, Blood Orb Grive, Flesh-Colored Mystery, Near-Miss, and Under the Ground. The hardcover collection was released earlier this month, bringing together several macabre stories themed around obsession and persistence.

See at Amazon The Art of Junji Ito: Twisted Visions (Hardcover) $19.72 (was $35)

Junji Ito's artwork is instantly recognizable, and this book collects over 130 images showing off his talent. It includes color illustrations alongside black-and-white ones, all printed on thick high-quality pages. Covering everything from Uzumaki to Tomie and much more, the book also includes commentary from Ito in which he breaks down his artistic process.

Digimon The Movies 4-6 Collection (Blu-ray) $30 | Releases December 30

Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection includes the following movies with both English dubs and the original Japanese audio with subtitles:

  • Revenge of the Diaboromon (2001)
  • Battle of Adventurers (2001)
  • Runaway Locomon (2002)

Though referred to as "movies," these aren't feature-length films. Revenge of the Diaboromon is 29 minutes and is set during the Digimon Adventure 02 timeline. Battle of Adventurers released the same year and has a 50-minute runtime. It was the first movie in the Digimon Tamers timeline, the third Digimon series, and revolves around a virus that causes Digimon to enter the Real World. Runaway Locomon, a 30-minute short film, released in 2002 and takes place after the Digimon Tamers season finale.

The collection has a total runtime of 2 hours and 9 minutes. The runtime is 10 minutes longer than the originals because these are uncut versions that were restored with English dubs by Discotek. The runtimes listed above correspond with the original releases, not the uncut versions.

Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection released on Blu-ray last December and is on sale for $24 (was $30). This collection includes the following short films:

  • Digimon Adventure (1999)
  • Our War Game (2000)
  • Hurricane Touchdown (2000)

Parts of these three movies were spliced together to create Digimon: The Movie (2000), the first feature-length theatrical release for the franchise.

Discotek restored the uncut versions of all three short films with a new English dub. The runtime for the collection is 2 hours and 9 minutes, more than 40 minutes longer than the 88-minute feature film.

The Blu-ray collection also comes with Digimon: The Movie's original dubbed version, so fans can watch the story as they did in theaters as kids, too.
