When we first covered Love Shore a couple of months ago, we loved the idea of a visual novel that seems to share the ideas found in Detroit: Become Human. While at that time it had a release date of Oct. 21. However, a recent tweet by the developer/publisher Perfect Garbage announced a delay out of October for the stylish visual novel.

UPDATE: Fans eagerly strapped into their VR headsets to download Green Day’s Beat Saber music pack, but many have experienced nothing but fury upon discovering every song is tactlessly censored.

Green Day fans don’t take kindly to censorship in general but the choice to bleep the swears with a beep tone rather than simply cutting the profanity has fans all the more enraged....

Thimbleweed Park, the old school-esque adventure game from former Lucasarts folks Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, now has an option to remove ‘annoying in-jokes’ from the game, as reported by Siliconera. The ‘annoying in-jokes’ are all the gags that make reference to previously released adventure games from Lucasarts, as well as some meta jokes about developers, or the fact characters are in a video game.

Of course, with the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney, and with a new upcoming TV show led by Noah Hawley and a new film by Fede Alvarez in the works, it’s safe to say that the Prometheus timeline is well and truly dead and buried. Sorry, David — right now, it looks like we’ll never see a conclusion to your dastardly plan....

The BBC iPlayer service has now been fully discontinued on Wii U, Nintendo has announced. The on-demand and live TV app had been removed from the Nintendo eShop back on August 31.
