The King of Fighters 2002 is available as a free download on GOG.com right now, making for a decent way to get into the classic, three-on-three fighting series. SNK has released the 2002 edition of its marquee franchise on numerous platforms since its arcade debut; naturally, GOG is giving out the PC version. A port of the Japan-only Xbox Live Arcade version, The King of Fighters 2002 is not without gameplay issues on PC. That can be a major pain point for hardcore fighting game fans. At any rat

State lawmakers in Hawaii have, as promised two months ago, introduced four bills that would regulate the sale of video games that feature so-called loot boxes or loot crates as part of their gameplay. Two bills in Hawaii’s state house and senate would prohibit sales of loot box games to consumers younger than 21 years old. The legislation defines the loot boxes as a randomized in-game reward that can be bought for real money. Loot boxes or loot crates caught the attention not only of lawmakers

Dead Space for Windows PC is currently available for free through EA’s Origin service as part of the company’s “on the house” program. The game is 100 percent off for a limited time, so make sure you grab it before the promotion expires.

Pokémon Go players have discovered an apparent glitch that, unlike most of the game’s issues, comes with a great benefit: It enables users to bypass the catching animation during a Pokémon battle, dramatically reducing the amount of time spent staring down wild monsters. Once you’ve hit the Pokémon and it’s wriggling around inside the Poké Ball, let go of the Poké Ball menu. Figuring out if you successfully caught the Pokémon or not isn’t as convenient when using this method, unfortunately. You’

Paul’s videos resulted in severe consequences from YouTube, including the removal of any ads on his videos and the cancellation of his YouTube Red projects. “He hasn’t done anything that would cause those three strikes,” Wojcicki said. Update: A YouTube representative told Polygon that a few people who watched Paul’s videos did see ads.
