Really interesting to see a remake of a game from 1998 win Best in Show. Our Best In Show pick was Spider-Man but we're excited to play this new version of Resident Evil 2 as well.

"Greek Freak" Giannis Antetokounmpo to adorn 2K19's Box
Not content with simply being the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season ranked in the top 20 in total points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, Giannis Antetokounmpo will also lend his visage to the standard edition of NBA 2K19.
Antetokounmpo has also won All-Rookie Second Team, NBA All-Defensive Second Team, All-NBA Second Team (twice) and Most Improved Player. In gaming lingo, we would call him "overpowered."
NBA 2K19 releases September 11.
Our Take
I won most-improved player when I was on the golf team in 7th grade, so I know what an honor that is.

Todd Howard Talks Bethesda's Future With The Nintendo Switch
During an interview with Gamereactor.eu, Bethesda director Todd Howard talked through tight lips about Fallout 76, Starfield, and a number of other Bethesda properties. However, things got a little more interesting when Howard offered his candid thoughts on The Switch as a platform as well as some promising if vague thoughts on the developer's future with the device.
Here's what he says:
There’s definitely interest, [but it's] not something that we are exploring right now. We think that the Switch is a great platform. It was the first time we really worked closely with Nintendo on Skyrim – really really great experience and we’ll certainly be doing things with the platform in the future, but right now it’s not a mainline Fallout 4.
You can watch the whole interview here at Gamereactor.eu.

Thirty Years Of Arpeggios Come Together In This Video On Final Fantasy's Prelude
The ascending and descending notes of Final Fantasy's prelude are immediately iconic. Used throughout the entire series, the musical motif has been a funky electro beat, a heartfelt harp piece, and even mixed with Florence and the Machine to excellent effect.
In this video, Game Score Fanfare breaks down the various uses of the theme, and offers his thoughts on why it has such staying power.

Learn The Story Of How Three Teenagers Helped Nintendo Create Star Fox In This Video
Though it hasn't held up as well as some other SNES titles, Star Fox is a notable part of Nintendo's history. It was one of the few 3D titles for the console, showcasing the power of the system many thought couldn't handle polygonal graphics. As it turns out, however, three young British programmers, none of whom worked at Nintendo at the time, were a major part in putting the title together.
Originally part of Argonaut Software, Dylan Cuthbert, Giles Goddard, and Krister Wombell were the three programmers responsible for bringing the game to life. Using the FX Chip (the on-cartridge tech that allowed SNES games to run in 3D in the first place), they crafted a demo of a game called an early demo of a 3D flight game. Nintendo then courted them and moved them over to Kyoto in order to work on the game fulltime. The video above catalogs the trio's abridged history of working with Nintendo.
