PAX West Backtracks, Adopts Stricter Covid-19 Policies

Posted: 27 Jul 2021 10:30 AM PDT

Last year, PAX West was one of many gaming events to go online due to the pandemic. This year, while E3 and the Tokyo Game Show stayed virtual, PAX East was canceled earlier this spring. But PAX West, on the other hand, decided to allow an in-person event at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.

Trick art is quite popular in Japan. Heck, it's popular everywhere! Japanese Twitter user Shiro decided to try his hand at making some in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The game, of course, has been a hotbed of custom creations ever since it was released, from the amazing to the bizarre. For those unable to wait for…

Buying high-end gaming hardware is a pain in the ass at the moment. New Xbox Series X/S stock sells out fast. Early access to PS5 orders are pay-gated at places like Amazon and GameStop. And the graphics card market is, well, you know how it is. In this mess of timed-out shopping carts and Ebay resellers, however, a…

IO Interactive released the full roadmap for Hitman 3's Season of Lust today. Sadly, it seems devoid of the sultry deviation some fans hoped for.

This week Square Enix releases Neo: The World Ends With You, a follow-up to the 2007 Nintendo DS action role-playing classic, about a group for outcast teens trapped in an otherworldly version of Japan's Shibuya shopping district. They're forced to buy trendy clothes, eat delicious food, and compete for the fate of…

The lengthy content drought in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is about to come to an end. In two days, fireworks will return to the popular yet activity-starved Switch game. Later this year, more content will come too, Nintendo said in a tweet, though didn't offer details about what, exactly, that stuff will look like.

In Fukuoka, Japan, a 59-year-old man is in police custody for the murder of his parents, ages 87 and 88. One of the reasons he gave for killing them was that his anime watching kept getting interrupted.

According to Yomiuri Shimbun and The Tokyo Reporter, Junji Matsumoto served as his parents' caregiver. "It was…

The bike section of the Olympic triathlons take a nice scenic lap around the giant Gundam statue in Odaiba's DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, which has led to commentators having to occasionally try to describe the thing.

I know for sure I have never wondered, "What if you crossed Sid Meier's Pirates with the the 1992 Dune adventure strategy game," but it turns out at least one person has. I've been playing Konstantin Koshutin and Microprose's Highfleet on the PC this week and that's kind of what it is.

During last week's Game Developers Conference members of Gears of War developer The Coalition debuted an "Alpha Point" technical demo showing off the environments and effects possible in Unreal Engine 5.

Not long ago, I did something I rarely do: I got all the trophies in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Often, I get too busy or bored and don't complete everything in a game. This is doubly true for big open world games. But Rift Apart kept me hooked and seemed made with the idea that Insomniac Games wanted me (and yes,…

What happens when you mix the multiplayer of a first-person shooter like Halo with the space-warping portals of, well, Portal? Oh, and make it free. Apparently, you get a game that's so popular its developers need to delay the official release by a month to make sure its servers are up to snuff.

How's this for a fun fact? In November 2020, the same month Sony and Microsoft released much-anticipated next-gen consoles, the Switch outsold every other console in the United States. Those who've recently hopped on board the Nintendo bandwagon might be faced with a question as old as the universe: "What should I…

Since allegations of widespread harassment and discrimination at Activision Blizzard first surfaced last week, former Blizzard developers and women across the field have spoken up once again about abuse in the games industry. While many of those affected are women, not all are, and some men are also sharing their…

Over the weekend, Victor "Punk" Woodley qualified to play in his fourth Capcom Cup, the developer-backed event that serves as the capstone for every year's Street Fighter V competition. But when asked how he plans to prepare for the high-level tournament, Punk was as blunt as his in-game name implies, making it clear…

There are people who are good at fighting in The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild, and then there's Japanese player Peco, whose skill transforms brutal battles into expertly-choreographed ballets of creative violence, making his foes look like fools in the process.

Last week, a clip from a developer Q&A session at Blizzcon 2010 went viral. In the video, a woman stepped up to a panel of men from Blizzard to point out that nearly all the female characters in World of Warcraft look like they have "stepped out of a Victoria's Secret catalog." The group's flippant response, which…

Machamp walks around buck naked. But we knew this. Years ago, Nintendo revealed that the Pokémon's shorts were not skimpy briefs but rather, markings (ditto for Machoke). The character is actually naked. But a new Pokémon Unite glitch drives the point home even more.
