Resident Evil Requiem Channels An Unmistakable Lord Of The Rings Horror Scene
Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy has become an influential part of pop culture in the decades since it was first released, and it looks like it may have inspired one of the creepiest boss fights in Resident Evil Requiem(https://www.gamespot.com/games/resident-evil-requiem/). Whether it's an accidental homage or a deliberate nod to 2003's Return of the King, the similarities are uncanny, but no one at Capcom is talking… yet. If you haven't played the game yet, consider this a spoiler warning--and if you're an arachnophobe, you'll want to click away as well. You were warned Spotted by Best Cine Moments on X(https://x.com/SceneinCinema/status/2041808212715041206), it looks like a few seconds of Resident Evil Requiem mirrors the scene where Frodo encounters the giant spider Shelob in Return of the King. Those few seconds are remade almost shot-for-shot in Resident Evil Requiem, mirroring the stealthy appearance of Shelob above Frodo with an eight-legged bioweapon that briefly stalks Leon S. Kennedy when he returns to Raccoon City.

Star Fox For Switch 2 Could Be Announced Very Soon - Report
Late last month, a report emerged that Nintendo is developing a new Star Fox game for Switch 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-new-star-fox-game-in-development-for-switch-2-report/1100-6539069/). Now, game leaker NateTheHate is reporting that the official announcement may come as soon as this month. On social media(https://x.com/NateTheHate2/status/2041558435783660001), NateTheHate stated that "Star Fox will be announced this month via Nintendo Today or Twitter." If that's accurate, it would allow Nintendo to capitalize on the appearance of Star Fox's main character, Fox McCloud, in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination boss Chris Meledandri recently shared the story of how Glen Powell landed the part(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-incredible-and-unlikely-story-of-how-glen-powell-became-fox-in-the-super-mario-galaxy-movie/1100-6539159/) in the sequel. The Star Fox franchise has largely been dormant since Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard were released for Wii U in 2016. The franchise itself goes back to 1993, as the original Star Fox on SNES was a groundbreaking title for its era. For fans who have never played Star Fox before, there is a way to enjoy the older titles(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/if-your-kids-suddenly-want-to-play-star-fox-heres-how/1100-6539200/), but it involves signing up for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.

007 First Light Delayed For Switch 2
IO Interactive has announced that its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, will not come to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other editions. The Switch 2 version has been delayed(https://x.com/007GameIOI/status/2041863487291294093) to an unspecified date this summer. The game's other editions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC remain on schedule to launch on May 27. The game was originally set to release in March, but was delayed to May for quality reasons.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/007-first-light-has-been-delayed/1100-6537161/) IO did not share any details on why First Light for Switch 2 has been delayed. However, the company did say it is working to deliver the "best game experience possible across all platforms."

Halo: Campaign Evolved Release Date Seemingly Leaked By Dataminer In Cryptic Math Problem
A noted Halo dataminer appears to have hinted at when Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-campaign-evolved-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6535992/) will release--you just have to do some math to figure out what this leaker is claiming. Halo fan account grunt.api(https://x.com/gruntdotapi/status/2041681342509842908) shared a couple of math equations (spotted by Insider Gaming(https://insider-gaming.com/halo-campaign-evolved-early-access-and-release-dates-reportedly-leaked/)) that people seem to believe contain the launch dates of the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake. The equations read: - EA: (18 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1 - OR: (8 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1 In case you're unwilling to do the arithmetic yourself, these equations suggest that Campaign Evolved will release in an early-access stage (or "EA" in the equation) on July 23, before an official release ("OR") on July 28. Presumably, the "early access" period would be for those who purchase a special edition of the game.

Xbox Controllers Have Been Shipping Without Batteries For Months, But Microsoft Is Finally Compensating People
Microsoft has acknowledged that it accidentally released some Xbox controllers without included batteries. To make up for it, Microsoft is offering up compensation(https://x.com/xboxsupport/status/2041733265929732557?s=46) in the form of a free rechargeable battery as opposed to the standard AA batteries it should have come with. This mishap impacted only a "limited number" of controllers, Microsoft said, and this has been going on since December 2025. Anyone who received an Xbox controller without batteries can visit this website(https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/get-batteries) to fill out a form to request a free rechargeable battery. If you lost your original receipt, that's OK, as the registration process involves adding the unique serial number to Microsoft's website for validation. The affected controllers include newer Xbox wireless controllers and some Xbox Design Lab controllers.

Samson’s Crime Story Helps It Stand Out From GTA, But Jank Is A Problem
Like a lot of crime stories, Samson: A Tyndalston Story(https://www.gamespot.com/games/samson/) is about desperation, but it's the first game about jacking cars, punching gangsters, and stealing money that I've ever seen really turn that desperation into a gameplay loop. Developer Liquid Swords' dark and dingy third-person action game puts you in the title role as a low-level thug and expert wheelman who is way down on his luck. As is often a trope in stories like this, the protagonist owes a lot of money to bad people. Samson smartly grabs the trope of a crook trying to dig himself out of the hole with more bad decisions by turning it into the underlying structure of its gameplay--you work off your debt by doing crime, raising the stakes on a series of open-world quests about beating people up, robbing folks, and escaping the cops. Fail to pay what you owe, and things start to spiral. After about three hours with Samson, I find it intriguing, but frustrating. While the premise is a cool one, it means doing lots of open-world tasks to earn money, many of which get repetitive quickly and start to feel like busywork. And while the narrative might eventually redeem a premise that has you doing a lot of the same crime stuff over and over, I hit a soft-lock in the first two hours that kept me from advancing the story and soured me on a lot of the experience.
