<br>Yooka-Laylee is a spiritual successor to the Nintendo 64 classic Banjo-Kazooie . The smash-hit Kickstarter campaign hit its funding goal in less than an hour and brought in over a million dollars faster than any video game campaign before it. The game stars a green chameleon named Yooka and a purple bat named Laylee who venture off exploring colourful 3D environments collecting dozens and dozens of items along the way. The game is being developed by ex-Rareware developers, with music being composed by the legendary Grant Kirkhope and David Wise (responsible for most your favourite tracks from Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country ). Yooka-Laylee is launching simultaneously for almost every major console under the sun, showing a confidence rarely seen from indie crowdfunded proje<br><br> <br>It’s been five years since Commander Shepard closed the book on the Reapers. Even if Mass Effect 3 ’s ending left a bad taste in your mouth, there’s no arguing that the world of Mass Effect is one the most detailed and beloved science fiction universes in gaming. Helmed by Bioware Montreal, Mass Effect: Andromeda is set 600 years after the original Mass Effect trilogy and transitions us from the Milky Way Galaxy to Andromeda. The newest installment is poised to build on everything we loved about the dialogue systems and combat of Mass Effect 2/3. It also hopes to finally deliver on the exploration elements of the original Mass Effect game — taking cues from Dragon Age: Inquisition to build out its open World games tips wo<br> <br>However, there are still quite a few disturbing and unnerving gameplay secrets that many players have yet to discover. In a game this big, it's sure that no player would notice all the secrets on their second or third playthrough, let alone their first. So, allow me to enlighten you about the dark side of GTA V . For fun, we've also included a few secrets from the other games for those of you who might have missed them. Beware of spoilers for those who would not like to have mission endings revealed! For everyone else, let's jump<br><br> <br>Head off into the Great Chaparra mountains for an afternoon sojourn and you may happen upon a boarded-up mineshaft. Depending on which version of the game you own, you may be able to get inside–any explosive will clear the way (entering the mineshaft is only supported on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of the game, while Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will find a brick wall blocking their path). A thorough exploration of the mine (as seen in this video ) leaves much to be desired. While players have reported hearing voices and footsteps in the mine, typically all that can be heard are the sounds of bats and the creak of the shaft's weathered supports. That hasn't kept GTA V 's mystery-seeking community from rampant speculation, though, as some still believe the mineshaft is haun<br><br> <br>Arkane Studios is here to save Prey . The talented developers behind Dishonored have rebooted Prey as a sci-fi horror first-person shooter set aboard a spaceship where humans have been turned into guinea pigs for experimentation. In the vein of Bioshock , Prey looks like a perfect blend of puzzles, plot, and powers, featuring a slew of interesting tools to play with. We’re just happy Bethesda rescued the series from the brink of cancellation. For years a mysterious behind-closed-doors demo of Prey 2 was a whisper on the wind. By all accounts, it was an awe-inspiring presentation to match the game’s impressive E3 2011 CG trailer. Sometimes bad things happen for a reason because this new incarnation of Prey looks absolutely fantas<br> <br>GTA V has three protagonists (Franklin, Michael, and Trevor) who create chaos all around the island-city of Los Santos. Together, they take mission after mission of hilarious violence and depravity. As entertaining as this game is, it sure did spark controversies because of how it depicts women, criminality, and through its use of striking content. Still, it didn’t stop the players from loving every sec<br><br> <br>We’ve been burned before. Ok… We’ve been burned over and over and over again for years. But'everything about Sonic Mania looks like it will be the best Sonic the Hedgehog game since the Genesis. During the Sonic 25th anniversary event, SEGA proudly presented Sonic Mania to Sonic fans young and old. They have earned the right to a certain amount of bravado since Sonic Mania looks like a dream follow-up to _Sonic & Knuckles _ made by people who understand and love those original games. It remains to be seen if they tie everything together, but it’s been ages since we’ve seen a Sonic the Hedgehog game with so much style and presence. After years of being disappointed, it would be delightful to have such an iconic video game character emerge triumphan<br><br> <br>The state of San Andreas is the biggest map that Rockstar has ever made for a game, ever. The size of Grand Theft Auto V 's map is larger than GTA IV, San Andreas, and Vice City's combined, which of course has led to all of these little secrets that are held within the game. Top that off with a full underwater ocean map and that adds even more layers to the land for you to explore. But if you take a look at the map, you'll notice the state of San Andreas is actually an island. So what would happen if you were to say, sail out to sea? What about by plane? Yeah, you're dead. If you sail out far enough, your boat will simply sink and you'll die from fatigue, while your plane engine will shut off if you fly too far away from land. If you really think about it, San Andreas is just a giant prison. A giant prison that gives you a little too much free<br>
