Strider, Bionic Commando: Rearmed star in Humble Capcom Bundle

By Danny Cowan October 14, 2015

Publisher Capcom headlines Humble Bundle’s latest pay-what-you-want compilation of PC games, offering up titles like Bionic Commando: Rearmed and 2014’s Strider for as little as $1.

Buyers who beat the bundle’s average purchase price can also unlock a pair of entries in the Resident Evil series, along with other bonuses to be announced at a later date.

Purchases of $1 or more will receive Steam-redeemable codes for the PC versions of Strider, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Lost Planet 3, and the first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed, originally released in 2008, is an expanded take on Capcom’s 1988 platformer Bionic Commando. Rearmed puts players in control of a heavily armed soldier who can traverse dangerous territory by grappling across walls and ceilings using his extendable bionic arm, leading to creative platforming challenges.

Strider, released for consoles and PCs last year, updates Capcom’s 1988 arcade hack-and-slash action game with a non-linear structure, upgradable equipment, and a storyline that fleshes out once-vague narrative elements.

Lost Planet 3 is the final entry in Capcom’s third-person shooter series, and Resident Evil Revelations 2 is an episodic survival horror adventure that launched earlier this year.

Players wanting to catch up on Resident Evil series lore before diving into Revelations 2 can pick up the original Revelations by surpassing the current Humble Bundle’s average purchase price. Other beat-the-average bonuses include the Devil May Cry series reboot DMC and 2009’s co-op survival horror title Resident Evil 5.

The current Humble Bundle’s final reward tier, unlocked for buyers who pitch in $15 or more, adds Steam copies of Ultra Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5‘s “Untold Stories” DLC pack.

All Humble Bundle purchases give buyers the option of donating a portion of proceeds to charity, with this week’s bundle benefiting Direct Relief and GamesAid. The Humble Capcom Bundle will be up for grabs through October 27th.

VR headset deals: Meta Quest 2 and VIVE XR

htc vive vs pro headphones

While VR may not be as big as was predicted back in the early 2000s when the original Oculus Go was released, there is still a considerable market these days, and some great VR games like Half-Life: Alyx that you can have fun with. Of course, VR headsets remain expensive, and while options like the Meta Quest don't necessarily require a high-end gaming PC, they can still be a bit pricey for those who just want to put a foot in the hobby. Luckily, there are some good deals you can take advantage of, even on some of the best VR headsets, so be sure to check out all your options below.
Meta Quest 2 -- $199, was $200

Even though the Meta Quest 3 came out quite recently, the Meta Quest 2 is still a pretty powerful contender, especially since it has a wider library and app support than the Quest 3 currently has. Even more so, the Quest 2 is a lot cheaper than the Quest 3, and with the latest permanent discount down to just $200, that's a whole $300 or so difference from the Quest 3. Of course, the Quest 3 does have more advanced AR and slightly better performance with software and Wi-Fi, but that may not be worth the extra cost for some. Either way, be sure to check out the breakdown between Quest 2 and Quest 3 to get a better sense of what you should pick up.

BlizzCon 2024 is not happening despite Blizzard’s strong 2024 lineup

A still from World of Warcraft The Worldsoul Saga's reveal tralier.

World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch maker Blizzard Entertainment confirmed that BlizzCon 2024 will not be happening.

BlizzCon was a convention that Blizzard Entertainment held almost every year between 2005 and 2019 to celebrate its games and make new announcements. The pandemic and hostile workplace allegations against Blizzard meant that no shows were held in 2020 or 2022 (2021 was digital-only), but BlizzCon made its grand return in 2023. We attended it last November and had the opportunity to speak with developers and learn more about Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer's first visit to Blizzard, upcoming plans for franchises like Diablo and Warcraft, and more. Although Blizzard never outright confirmed that it would hold BlizzCon in 2024, the event was expected to continue after its return last year.

How to unlock fast travel in Another Crab’s Treasure

Kril with a coconut shell

Another Crab's Treasure is a fantastical soulslike set deep under the ocean where danger lurks around every corner. And like other games in the genre, it's often brutally difficult to overcome the various challenges you'll encounter. As such, you may find yourself wanting to backtrack for level grinding, to uncover new secrets, or to buy additional items in the game's main hub. However, you may notice early in the game that you haven't yet unlocked the ability to fast travel between the multitude of Moon Snail Shells (aka "bonfires") you've found. Here's how and when you'll unlock fast travel.
How to unlock fast travel
In the opening hours of the game, you may notice that you can access your skill tree, which will show a skill called Shelleportation. But you may be discouraged to see that you aren't able to apply any points to it yet. That's because the game doesn't open up this feature until you've advanced a few hours into the story.

To unlock fast travel, you'll need to work your way through the first few main areas of the game until you reach a boss called the Polluted Platoon Pathfinder. After beating this baddie, you'll soon find yourself teleporting to the Moon Snail's Domain. Here, you'll learn about the power of Umami, as well as unlock access to your skill tree.
