Adventure Time is being adapted as, what else, an adventure game for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC and Xbox One. Called Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion, developer Outright Games is promising an original story, voiced by the show’s cast. Pirates of the Enchiridion will make characters Finn, Jake, BMO and Marceline playable, allowing each character to freely roam an open-world setting. Adventure Time has had a slew of video game adaptations since its first one on Nintendo 3

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is just about two hours and 30 minutes long, and you feel every second of it. [Warning: This contains minor spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.] We just saw the Star Wars equivalent of sending fan-favorite characters to Dorne for half a season, and it was a bummer. But this particular arc treads water in a film that’s already running long. The editing team was probably right; the audience is going to be there for, and get, a lot of Star Wars.

It’s even more difficult when that game is a parody of the legendary Metal Gear Solid series. The exchanges between them are thankfully much briefer than those in the Metal Gear Solid series. At times, it felt like I was playing something more like Pac-Man than Metal Gear Solid. Never Stop Sneakin’ feels like a lighthearted remedy to some of the challenges of its genre. In Never Stop Sneakin’, you’ll either be laughing at a dumb joke, slashing your way through corridors and feeling good — or, id

20: Mega Man (PC, 1990)Capcom has made some poor Mega Man games in its time, but none of them quite compare in relentless wretchedness to the Mega Man games that came from other companies. 14: Mega Man II (Game Boy, 1992)Long-time Mega Man boss Keiji Inafune has proclaimed this the worst Mega Man game of all time, but he’s wrong. 9: Mega Man 10 (Various, 2010)The second and final retro-style modern-day Mega Man entry, Mega Man 10 builds on Mega Man 9 in many ways … but, at the same time, it al

The first match of the day will feature the two losing teams from each group’s day one action in a best-of-three match. The winners of those two series then face the group’s second place teams, OpTic Gaming and FaZe Clan. Day two of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, ECS Season 4 Finals will kick off at 9:15 a.m. EST. Group A was pretty one-sided during the first day of competition at the ECS Season 4 Finals, with Fnatic breezing by every team they faced. ScheduleLuminosity vs Mousesports, 9:

Dragon Ball FighterZ’s latest trailer, for Jump Festa 2017, is entirely in Japanese, but that is entirely beside the point. It’s packed to the ceiling with Dragon Ball Z’s trademark awesomeness and wrapped in a song very special to fans. Great musical choice for a trailer that introduces Hit, Beerus and Goku Black in his Rose Super Saiyan state. If you missed the story mode trailer back in November, that gives a little context to what’s going on here. Dragon Ball FighterZ launches Jan. 26, 2018

Bloodborne’s unused content was revealed earlier this month, and now the YouTuber behind all that mining has gameplay video of one of the bosses eventually cut from the game. It’s different from the first video, which showed only rotating models of the unused bosses and NPCs. At the end of that video, Sanadsk promised a look at a boss fight cut from the game. The scene of the fight isn’t fully rendered but it gives enough of an idea of what was supposed to take place. Sanadsk collaborated with Y

For Game of the Year 2017, Polygon has been counting down our top 10 throughout the month of December. On Dec. 18, we’ll reveal our favorite 50 of 2017, but before that, we’ve got a look at our top 10 for the year. And throughout the month, we’ll be looking back on the year with special videos, essays and surprises! But for now, enjoy our definitive, wholly subjective list of the 10 that matter most.

Put simply: How would you feel if a game’s ending told you that you were a bad person for viewing and enjoying the events that had transpired? Will our heroes choose the correct culprit, bringing the story to a satisfying conclusion while paving the way for the next killing game to take place? Or will they give into “despair,” forcing one of their own to take the fall, allowing the current killing game to continue? It’s in these final moments that the weight of the decisions made at similar junc
