The latest DLC for Killzone Shadow Fall is making all your flatulent dreams come true, with the ‘Fun & Games Spotlight Pack’ available on the PlayStation Network for $2. The content features the ability to fart and to plank (among other things) during the victory sequence at the end of each multiplayer round. In the world of Killzone, these are called ‘spotlight moves.’

A common occurrence in online PvP (Player vs. Player) gaming is seeing the winner of an encounter taunt or humiliate the loser, meant either in jest or to further enrage the opponent. This tradition dates back to first-person shooters and MMORPGs from the early 2000s. Killzone Shadow Fall wants to make sure that your repertoire of taunts covers all bases, which is why developer Guerrilla Games continues to release these packs of spotlight moves. Here is an example of spotlights in action, though many games with online multiplayer have included taunts and humiliation moves, like Assassin’s Creed and Uncharted for example.

In Killzone Shadow Fall, spotlight moves take place at the end of a round, featuring the top 3 players from the winning side, and the top player from the losing side. One winning player gets to select the spotlight move to perform and must execute a command to do so. If they fail, the opponent has a chance to counter the spotlight.

So the next time you lose a round in Shadow Fall, get ready to hold your breath.

The Nintendo Switch just got 2 surprise games — and they’re both worth grabbing

A teddy beat sits on an embroidery hoop in Stitch.

If you were unable to catch this week's Nintendo IndieWorld showcase, then you missed a surprisingly loaded show. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes got a May release date, WayForward showed off its Yars' Revenge revival, and Steamworld Heist 2 got an exciting reveal. In the midst of all those headlines, two smaller games were surprise released on the platform: Stitch and Sticky Business. Don't sleep on either of them, as they're both worth a purchase.

Both games are ports of previously released games, but both went a bit under the radar upon their original launch. Sticky Business modestly launched last summer on PC, whereas Stitch has actually been around since 2022 as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The latter even has an Apple Vision Pro version now that can be played in mixed reality. I can't blame anyone for missing either, but their Switch releases offer a good opportunity to catch up with some quiet hidden gems.

Is this Razer’s Steam Deck killer?

Razer has been oddly quiet in the burgeoning world of handheld gaming PCs. When I met up with the company at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) to learn about its new products, I was happy to hear it had an answer to the success of the Steam Deck.

But it was not the type of answer I was expecting.

The best iPhone emulators

The market for iPhone games has become so wide and diverse that it can realistically compete with most console and PC offerings. Where we once only got cheap time-wasters, we now have complete experiences that don't feel any less impressive than what the competition offers. In fact, a lot of games made for consoles are appearing on the iPhone now that it is becoming so powerful. However, older games have paradoxically been mostly absent from the app store. That all could be about to change as emulation is now allowed on iPhone, though with some caveats that any retro fan should know about before getting too excited to play all your favorite NES games on your phone. Here's what's up with iPhone emulators, as well as our picks for a few of the best ones you can get right now.
What you need to know about emulation on iPhone
Emulators on iPhone, as well as emulation in general, are in a strange legal gray zone. Previously, the only way to get an emulator on your iPhone was through some workarounds that generally involved jailbreaking your phone, That differs from Android, which has enjoyed native emulators for years. In 2024, Apple updated its App Store guidelines to allow for emulators on its store, but with some important restrictions.

Here's the exact wording: "Apps may offer certain software that is not embedded in the binary, specifically HTML5 mini apps and mini games, streaming games, chatbots, and plug-ins. Additionally, retro game console emulator apps can offer to download games. You are responsible for all such software offered in your app, including ensuring that such software complies with these guidelines and all applicable laws. Software that does not comply with one or more guidelines will lead to the rejection of your app. You must also ensure that the software adheres to the additional rules that follow in 4.7.1 and 4.7.5. These additional rules are important to preserve the experience that App Store customers expect, and to help ensure user safety."
