Paper Mario: The Origami King Brought The Series Closer To Its Roots
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/paper-mario-the-origami-king-brought-the-series-closer-to-its-roots/1100-6533229/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Paper Mario: The Origami King is celebrating its five-year anniversary today, July 17, 2025. Below, we examine the ways the Paper Mario series has changed over the years, and how Origami King tried to recapture its early magic.Though Mario's platforming adventures are universally adored, the Paper Mario series has a much more mixed reputation. Its first two installments, Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64 and its GameCube sequel, The Thousand-Year Door, are widely regarded as Mario's finest role-playing outings, enchanting players with their imaginative storybook worlds and irreverent humor. As the series progressed, however, it gradually deviated from its RPG roots, shedding many of the elements that had made the first two games so beloved. While the series has never quite been the same since, its Switch installment, Paper Mario: The Origami King, is the only one that has come close to matching the heights of the original titles.Paper Mario's identity crisis can be traced all the way back to 2007's Super Paper Mario. Originally announced for the Nintendo GameCube, this particular entry effectively began life as an offshoot of an offshoot--one last hurrah for the aging purple console spun out of repurposed assets and ideas from The Thousand-Year Door. By that point, however, GameCube sales had flatlined and a new generation was on the horizon, prompting Nintendo to move the title to the Wii, where it became many new players' introduction to the series.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/paper-mario-the-origami-king-brought-the-series-closer-to-its-roots/1100-6533229/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Tony Hawk Almost Gave Up On Making A Skateboarding Game In The 1990s

Before Tony Hawk's Pro Skater shredded on to the video game scene in 1999, the man himself "had given up" on making a skateboarding game. Hawk revealed in a new interview that talks with various developers and console manufacturers about the concept were going nowhere in the mid- to late 1990s.Speaking with USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2025/07/17/tony-hawk-thps-3-4-remake-olympics/85205239007/), Hawk talked about how "it was kind of an uphill battle convincing anyone" to create a skateboarding game. He cited growing up on the medium as a reason for pursuing the idea, noting the Intellivision was the first console he owned. Later, Hawk had a Commodore 64, SNES, and then a PlayStation, and he also briefly did video-editing work for the TurboGrafx 16 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bTcDO0Ab2A) in the early '90s. But with multiple companies passing on his idea, Hawk noted in 1997 that he basically had thrown in the towel.Activision, however, was working on a skateboarding game and reportedly heard about Hawk's desire to make such a title. "And so I went to Activision," said Hawk. "I saw a very early build of what became THPS (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater), and immediately, I knew this was the game. I could tell instinctively that this would be the most fun, that this would be the best one to be involved with, and with my connections and resources and experience, we could make this something truly authentic."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/tony-hawk-almost-gave-up-on-making-a-skateboarding-game-in-the-1990s/1100-6533235/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Lack Of Switch 2 Dev Kits Could Explain Limited Third-Party Game Announcements - Report
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lack-of-switch-2-dev-kits-could-explain-limited-third-party-game-announcements-report/1100-6533186/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
So far, there have only been a handful of third-party games confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-2-review-its-a-switch-too/1100-6532411/), but an industry insider has claimed that many studios don't yet have development kits, and this is to blame for the limited announcements.That's according to YouTuber Nate the Hate (via TheGamer (https://www.thegamer.com/nintendo-switch-2-third-party-games-delay-lack-of-dev-kits/)), who discussed the console's noticeable lack of titles from third-party studios and indie partners in his most recent podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYkD9QCBp4Y) episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYkD9QCBp4Y)."This has been a talking point amongst Nintendo fans really since the Switch 2 has come out, and it's definitely spurred up once again in the most recent days," Nate the Hate said. "And that is the question of, 'Where are the games? Where are the game announcements from third parties and indie partners? And when are they going to be happening?'"Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lack-of-switch-2-dev-kits-could-explain-limited-third-party-game-announcements-report/1100-6533186/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Recent Killing Floor 3 Play Test Required A 5-Year NDA, Despite Game Releasing In A Few Days

Players anticipating the co-op horror shooter Killing Floor 3 (https://www.gamespot.com/games/killing-floor-3/) are a little concerned about the state of the game ahead of its launch on July 24, as a recent play test a little over a week before launch required players sign a five-year non-disclosure agreement in order to participate.The stress test occurred on Sunday during two, two-hour sessions, during which players could request access through Steam. However, the fine-print of an NDA required in order to play raised some eyebrows. As revealed in a post on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/killingfloor/comments/1lyxr4w/a_5_year_nda_for_2_hours/), in addition to agreeing to not take screenshots or record gameplay of developer Tripwire Interactive's upcoming shooter, players had to agree to not discuss the test for five years.A 5 year NDA for 2 hours? (https://www.reddit.com/r/killingfloor/comments/1lyxr4w/a_5_year_nda_for_2_hours/)
byu/Several-Dependent-48 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Several-Dependent-48/) inkillingfloor (https://www.reddit.com/r/killingfloor/) While NDAs are not unusual when playing early builds of games, the fact that the test required one when the full game is slated to launch close to a week later caught many players by surprise. It's possible the five years-distinction was legal verbiage copied and pasted from previous, older playtests, but it still doesn't inspire confidence.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/recent-killing-floor-3-play-test-required-a-5-year-nda-despite-game-releasing-in-a-few-days/1100-6533181/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Poster Pokes Fun At Tom Cruise And Mission: Impossible

We're still waiting for a Mortal Kombat 2 (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/mortal-kombat-2-movie-release-date-and-everything-we-know-so-far/2900-6386/) trailer to drop ahead of the film's release later this year, but for now, you can content yourself with a new poster featuring Johnny Cage. The A-lister has several action movies to his name, and this new one for "Uncaged Fury" pokes fun at actor Tom Cruise and his first Mission: Impossible adventure (https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/l5uxY5m5OInWpcExIpKG6AR3rgL.jpg). It's pretty good, but not as good as Cage's masterpiece, Ninja Mime (https://mortalkombat.fandom.com/wiki/Ninja_Mime).Hey @Todd_Garner (https://twitter.com/Todd_Garner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ... I think I found the poster and an old DVD with the teaser trailer for the UNCAGED FURY movie! 🐉🐉 pic.twitter.com/xII8GNYlkX (https://t.co/xII8GNYlkX) — Ed Boon (@noobde) July 15, 2025 (https://twitter.com/noobde/status/1945136706019090904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) In Mortal Kombat 2, Cage is played by Dredd and The Boys star Karl Urban. A bona fide martial arts expert who used his talent to launch a lucrative Hollywood career, Cage usually serves up fists and references to the movie industry whenever he makes an appearance in the game. Things have been quiet when it comes to news on the sequel, but what we do know about Mortal Kombat 2 is that it reunites most of the surviving cast from the first film and pits them against Shao Kahn and his Outworld forces.After nine consecutive defeats in the Mortal Kombat tournament, it's all or nothing for Earthrealm if it wants to avoid being merged with Outworld. Mortal Kombat 2 will hit theaters on October 24, 2025.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mortal-kombat-2-movie-poster-pokes-fun-at-tom-cruise-and-mission-impossible/1100-6533177/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
WoW Is Finally Getting A Much-Needed Overhaul To Its Bank After Two Decades

World of Warcraft's (https://www.gamespot.com/games/world-of-warcraft/) next major update is coming August 5, and now Blizzard has revealed two surprise quality-of-life changes that will arrive alongside the new content and season--a bank overhaul and a major update to Valorstones.As announced in a forum post (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/player-character-bank-updates/2132208), in the Ghosts of K'aresh update (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wow-the-war-withins-ghosts-of-karesh-update-is-the-tbc-sequel-we-didnt-know-we-needed/1100-6532500/), banks are getting a significant facelift. For as long as Blizzard's MMORPG has existed (that is, over 20 years), players have had to purchase additional bag bank slots and then place bags within them to get more storage. That will no longer be the case come update 11.2, which will replace bag slots with purchasable storage tabs more similar to stash tabs from Blizzard's Diablo series.Read This If You're Concerned/Confused About The 11.2 Bank Update (It's Objectively Good In Every Way) (https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1m06ypv/read_this_if_youre_concernedconfused_about_the/)
byu/SpartanG01 (https://www.reddit.com/user/SpartanG01/) inwow (https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/) The update will additionally remove the reagent bank and Void Storage, two bank-adjacent storage options that were more restrictive. While some players were initially concerned they might be losing storage space when hearing that news, as broken down in a post by Reddit user SpartanG01 (https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1m06ypv/read_this_if_youre_concernedconfused_about_the/?utm_source=embedv2&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_content=post_title&embed_host_url=https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/news/is-the-11-2-bank-rework-good-the-numbers-and-player-concerns/) (and highlighted by Icy Veins (https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/news/is-the-11-2-bank-rework-good-the-numbers-and-player-concerns/)), the new bank system seems to be a straight upgrade.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wow-is-finally-getting-a-much-needed-overhaul-to-its-bank-after-two-decades/1100-6533178/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Saber Interactive Is Teasing Something With Spooky Vibes For Later This Month
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/saber-interactive-is-teasing-something-with-spooky-vibes-for-later-this-month/1100-6533234/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Saber Interactive has been hard at work on a wide portfolio of games, including the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake and John Carpenter's Toxic Commando. The firm isn't done teasing new projects, however, as its official social media channels are now teasing a mysterious, potentially horror-themed announcement for July 22 via the aptly named website july-22-2025.com (http://july-22-2025.com/).The website currently displays a black screen with the text "PM 1:00 UTC Jul. 22, 2025" with camcorder-style static occasionally appearing around it. Every so often, an image of a brick wall with the number 55 painted on it will appear in a flash and then disappear, which could be a hint as to what Saber has planned.👀 www.july-22-2025.com

The video depicts a retro-style television on a table in an empty room, with candles on the floor surrounding the table. Intermittent shouts and screams can be heard as the TV's glow reflects off of a nearby wall, but nothing else is shown on-screen.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/saber-interactive-is-teasing-something-with-spooky-vibes-for-later-this-month/1100-6533234/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-get-the-destiny-2-graviton-spike-exotic-hand-cannon/1100-6533185/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
With the launch of Destiny 2 (https://www.gamespot.com/games/destiny-2/): The Edge of Fate comes many changes. There's the new Portal system, a new location to explore, and plenty of new Exotics (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/destiny-2-edge-of-fate-livestream-all-the-new-exotics-weapons-and-artifact-mods/2900-6699/). One of those is the Graviton Spike; a 150 RPM hand cannon with two firing modes. Its Arc mode has an impressively fast firing rate, while its Stasis mode is slower but hits harder.When the weapon is overcharged, each mode uses a portion of that overcharge to inflict additional effects on final blows or precision hits. Its Arc mode will call down a lightning strike, while rounds fired from the Stasis mode explode and form crystals which can be shattered for additional damage. To switch between the two, use the the weapon's intrinsic Temporal Manipulation IV perk.How to get Graviton SpikeFirst, you'll need to complete the full The Edge of Fate campaign and ensure your Rosetta ability is level 3. After doing so, an Exotic quest called Graviton Through the Ages will open up. Finishing the campaign on either Legendary or Normal difficulty will make the Exotic quest appear.

Sea Of Thieves Dev Reacts To Mass Xbox Layoffs With A Somber Message

Xbox developer Rare, which today is best known for Sea of Thieves, has commented on the recent mass layoffs at Microsoft that led to the cancellation of the studio's long-in-development project Everwild.As part of the Sea of Thieves developer update video for July (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCzbo9xxo4Q), Rare production director Drew Stevens started off by addressing the layoffs. "It would be strange to jump straight into our usual updates without acknowledging the news that we've ended development on Everwild here at Rare," Stevens said (via GamesRadar (https://www.gamesradar.com/games/adventure/another-xbox-studio-reacts-to-the-layoffs-exploding-around-it-with-rares-everwild-dead-sea-of-thieves-dev-says-its-impossible-for-something-like-this-not-to-ripple-through-the-studio/)).The game was formally revealed all the way back in November 2019, but beyond a trailer for it in 2020, updates on it have been almost non-existent (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/xbox-games-showcase-was-missing-all-these-major-games/2900-6657/).

Whatever your sense of humor I'd wager a giant pickle that you can't make it through an hour of playing High On Life (https://www.ign.com/games/high-on-life) without at least a childish snigger. The Squanch Games shooter is back on Xbox Game Pass today, so there's really no excuse not to test out that theory. Conceived in the brain of Rick & Morty (https://www.ign.com/tv/rick-morty) creator Justin Roiland, it's a time honored tale of an alien invasion, bounty hunting missions, sentient weaponry, and a wannabe drummer called Globo who has a butt for a face. Roiland lends his vocal chords to your main gun, Kenny, who chats to you as you explore different planets and take on different enemies. It's essentially "what if Morty spat bullets and had something to say about every little move I made?" We gave High On Life game an 8 in our review (https://www.ign.com/articles/high-on-life-review), and called it "an irreverent, absurd shooter that manages to shine with its outrageous humor, silly setting and story, and some really goofy, foul-mouthed guns that pull the whole thing together for the vast majority of the time. " When it was first on Xbox Game Pass originally in 2022, it became the biggest Xbox Game Pass release of that year.There are what Kenny describes as "classic, text book, puzzle situations," or "simple platforming… like in Mario Land" parts, but the true joy comes from the inane dialogue and jokes that are hitting you from everywhere. The storyline takes weird tangents, henchmen hanging around in the background and chat, and your selection of talking weapons never shut up. One of them - my favorite, whose ammunition is the bodies of his newborn children - is even voiced by comedian Tim Robinson from I Think You Should Leave and A24's Friendship (https://www.ign.com/movies/friendship). He'll say typical line from Knifey might be "I'm in heaven right now, I'm ripping through his tendons like they're butter," or a dying Carebear type creature with its intestines hanging out will beg you to stay until it dies, then fake you out until Kenny begs you to shoot him. NPCs chat about killing their wives and kids so they won't miss them, or who on the team might be into sexual torture. There's a section in an Applebees, a gun called Lezduit who talks like Sylvester Stallone, a kid who taunts you to kill him - "I look so shootable" while Kenny begs you not to. Anyway, just try it. High on Life 2 (https://www.ign.com/games/high-on-life-2) was just announced this summer and is supposed to be out by this winter, so you'll want to catch up with the story before then.Rachel Weber is the Senior Editorial Director of Games at IGN and an elder millennial. She's been a professional nerd since 2006 when she got her start on Official PlayStation Magazine in the UK, and has since worked for GamesIndustry.Biz, Rolling Stone and GamesRadar. She loves horror, horror movies, horror games, and French Bulldogs. Those extra wrinkles on her face are thanks to going time blind and staying up too late finishing every sidequest in RPGs like Fallout and Witcher 3.
