Seems like wishful thinking to me, but I hope I'm wrong. In theory, you could hold the World Championships later in the year if things don't work out for July.

Total War: Shogun 2 will be free to keep on Steam between 18th and 20th April. A lot of people consider it to be the pinnacle of the series, so that's an opportunity worth taking up.

The review embargo has been lifted and the reviews are mostly very positive. The common complaints are ones that were similar to mine, and they don't bother me much. I'm still having fun with the game.

If you're lucky, you can visit an island with as many tarantulas as you can carry. If it has a little circular island in the middle, that should be the one you're looking for.

Well, the "classic" games aren't available to buy individually like they were on past Nintendo systems. The Switch Online membership gives you access to a range of NES and SNES games, but that's currently the only way you can play any old games.

I think it has a mains charger which connects to the Switch with through a USB port. As for your other questions, the Switch Lite is just a handheld system. The Joycons don't detach, so a few games, like 1-2 Switch and Super Mario Party, won't work with it.

I'm curious as to what this game looks like on a PS4 Pro. Graphically, it doesn't seem to be an absolute cutting edge game, especially when it comes to facial animations. I'm not bothered, though. It looks plenty good enough for me.

Me too. I already have it, but whoever takes it ought to have a good time. I think the new Hitman games are low-key some of the best games of the last few years.

I'm liking what I've played so far. I'm only a little way past the demo section, but I'm already impressed with how they've expanded the game world. It's fun to just listen to people's conversations and look around the map.

My copy arrived today as well. Getting it a whole week early is fantastic.

I'm quite taken by the hat on the middle-right.

Tom Nook's children's college fees won't pay themselves.

He left a USB stick at an event in Dallas. It was found that it contained footage of an underage girl exposing herself. Pitchford was completely unapologetic, stating that the girl was a professional streamer who performed sex acts in exchange for money and that he was interested in some sort of sex act he called a "magic trick". He also said that the girl's online handle was "Only 18". The existence of the porn was definitely true because Pitchford himself admitted it. As mentioned above, though, he insisted that it was "barely legal" porn, rather than underage porn. Not backing down, he also suggested that the girl be put in porn magazines because he liked her so much.

More evidence that Randy Pitchford is one of the worst people in the games industry.

I've read this morning that EB Games in Australia is selling the game today. Maybe other retailers will be too.

The latest Humble Bundle has about a bajillion games and ebooks, and most of them are good. The money raised all goes to help the effort against the coronavirus.

Square Enix has also said that physical copies are likely to be shipped early, at least in Europe and Australia. We might be lucky and get them early. I was going to go digital, but the game costs £59.99 here on the PlayStation Store.

Mario Party would send Switch controller repair demands through the roof.

Several sources are reporting that Nintendo is planning to release remasters of several old Mario games this year. Venturebeat claims that this will include Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D World, which will have new levels added. I'd be well up for all of that.

I liked Persona 5, but I can't see myself playing Royal for a good while. It's a big time commitment, and with Final Fantasy VII Remake out soon, I'll be concentrating on that. While I think Persona 5 had a better dungeon layout than its predecessor, I generally preferred 4's characters. I thought the focus on changing the hearts of people whose egos had got out of control worked better on paper than it did in reality, especially as the villains tended to be a lot more one-dimensional than the heroes.

I liked the original Resident Evil 2 when I played It back in the day, but I thought it was predominantly tedious rubbish when I played it again years later. The remake is, in my opinion, considerably better, although it still has some irritating holdovers from its source material, particularly in terms of the constant backtracking to complete padded-out puzzle sections. Mr. X is a good means of ramping up the tension, but he does get more annoying than scary after you work out his movement patterns. If I'll give the remake the most credit for something, it's that it dispels the notion that the tank controls and fixed camera angles were essential in the original. The new control system gives you just as much of a feeling of helplessness without forcing horrible movement and awkward perspective on you for the non-combat sections.

Billy Joe Saunders is a cockhead.

England v Croatia from Euro 2004 is being shown on the BBC Red Button today.

I never bothered with Gwent beyond the first time it was introduced in the game.
