A new Microsoft Game Studios survey is making the rounds on the internet and reveals some possible Dance Central 2 features. Because Dance Central 2 has yet to be officially announced and is likely still early in development, it is possible some or all of the features described in the survey may not make it into the final game.

There’s a certain amount of artistry that goes into building a small form factor (SFF) PC. You need to have brilliant cable management skills, great airflow, and precise measurements to get everything right. When they’re done well, small form factor PCs are some of the best-looking around. However, there’s always a compromise: power. These tiny PCs can’t fit large, powerful components. Those that can are usually limited by the PSU that cases can fit....

In the wake of the Rainbow Six Siege invitational this past weekend, we learned of the game’s latest operators. To kick off Year 5, Oryx and Iana will join the roster of Ubisoft’s tactical shooter. One will bring a stealthy hologram, while the other smashes walls into oblivion. But Ubisoft has unveiled further plans for Siege, involving a rework for the game’s ping system and advanced replay features. According to Destructoid, Siege will also feature a Goldeneye-inspired ‘golden gun,’ which arrives via an arcade playlist during the first season of Year 5....

Redbox is now offering some of the cheapest prices on physical editions of video games that have ever been seen.

Speaking to IGN as part of its Unfiltered series, Remedy creative director Sam Lake said that he still hopes the Finnish studio will get around to an Alan Wake sequel, at some stage. ‘I want to make it. It’s a curious thing,’ he said. ‘At this point, so much time has passed. I feel that the bar is higher in some ways. It needs to be done right if it’s ever done....

You can add The League of Pan to stories that try to put a modern spin on the timeless Peter Pan tale. Well, when we say “stories” the main one that always comes to mind is Steven Spielberg’s surprisingly lifeless Hook, which saw a grown-up Peter Pan (Robin Williams) having forgotten his days as a flying eternal youth in favor of being a neglectful parent and generally joyless businessman. But I digress…we’re not here to relitigate the relative merits of Hook, we’re here to talk about a new Peter Pan TV series from Syfy....

These are some of the best pieces of fanart, but it’s a drop in the bucket of the quality drawn masterpieces that fans have made over the years....

Pokémon GO’s much-anticipated Battle League is gradually being rolled out to players, and one of the rewards for competing is the chance to catch a Scraggy. When Pokémon GO launched during the summer of 2016 it took the world by storm. However, it did not include all of the features seasoned Pokémon players will have been accustomed to from the franchise’s games. Niantic had to approach Pokémon GO differently since it would hopefully be sticking around for years to come....
