However, items like branded performance gaming peripherals are standard for Razer, who often couple up with big releases to help sell their own gear....

Much like the first game, Techland is committed to providing post-launch content for Dying Light 2 and has already delivered a New Game+ mode, as well as additional aspects like booster events and new mutations.

While there are some solutions to Nintendo’s problems, including a big showing at E3 2014, it appears Nintendo is alone in their quest to turn things around.

As one EA source tells CVG, the company was “dead to us very quickly.” The anonymous source continues by saying the Battlefield and Dragon Age publisher saw Nintendo’s platforms as focused exclusively on kids games, and EA, according to this source, is not really in the business of making games for kids....

WWE has always enjoyed success in the gaming community, whether during the Smackdown vs. RAW era or the more recent WWE 2K era. However, recent 2K games have faltered due to an abundance of bugs and a lack of in-depth game modes to offer longevity.
