    Nintendo released a new trailer today showing off more of the game and a very good Akira slide. As a huge fan of the first Metroid Prime, I can’t wait to check this game out.

    One simply does walk into Mordor?

    The YouTube channel Emulated Vintage Gaming posted a nearly 10-hour video of Frodo walking from the Shire to Mordor in The Lord of the Rings Online. Parts of Andy Serkis’ reading of the audiobooks are interspersed throughout. This is amazing.

    Hades II is getting an ending boon.

    After launching preview last week, the first post-launch patch for Hades II is officially out now, and it contains “enhancements” to the true ending, Supergiant Games says. I wasn’t a fan of how it all originally played out, but the changes in the preview were well received (major spoilers!).
