Check out our review of Titanfall.

Respawn Entertainment is partnered with Canadian visual effects and post-production studio Playfight to develop original, live-action content set within the Titanfall universe. You can find out more at YourTitanIsReady.com, though there’s not much more right now than a non-specific press kit and a countdown timer pointing to a trailer release later today.

Playfight has some experience in the world of video games, having lent its talents to seasons one and two of RocketJump Studios’ action comedy web series Video Game High School as well as Call of Duty: Operation Kingfish, the tie-in short for Modern Warfare 3 that was developed by We Can Pretend. The studio also contributed to the Transporter series of films.

That’s all we have to go on at this point. The live-action web series Halo: Forward Unto Dawn seems like a good example to look to of what to expect here, though that’s purely speculation. We’ll find out more later when the trailer is revealed. Also: brace for Titanfall. The game is in stores on March 11 for PC and Xbox One, and on March 25 for Xbox 360.

How to respec in Another Crab’s Treasure

Kril

Soulslike games are known for being immense challenging, and Another Crab's Treasure is no different despite its cutesy vibe. You'll be certain to have quite a lot of challenges to overcome as you fight your way through this underwater world, and you'll want to always be at your best as you do it. As such, you may find yourself wanting to reallocate your skill points at certain times, especially during the first half of the game when you have limited resources for getting new skills. Below, we'll tell you how to respec in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to respec
You won't be able to assign skills or respec them until you've advanced the game to the point where you reach the Moon Snail's Domain. You'll see an option to "Refund Skills" when speaking to the Moon Snail. However, this will cost you a Shark Egg, which is an exceedingly rare item that you can't get until you've progressed a little bit further into the game.

The easiest way to get a Shark Egg is to head over to the Prawn Shop in the lower section of New Carcinia, which is the game's main hub that you'll reach after defeating a few main bosses and moving the story forward a bit. Speak to the owner there to purchase up to two Shark Eggs for 2,000 microplastics each. Beyond the Prawn Shop, these elusive items can be found in a few clam shells throughout the game, and they'll more rarely drop from elite enemies — though the drop rate appears to be very, very low.

Jackbox Naughty Pack is the M-rated party game you’ve been waiting for

A still from the Jackbox Naughty Pack announcement trailer.

There won’t be a new Jackbox Party Pack game this year; instead, we’ll be getting a mature-rated game titled Jackbox Naughty Pack.

Jackbox Games made this announcement during Monday’s ID@Xbox Showcase with a short comedic trailer. Not much is being revealed about this package just yet, but Jackbox Games is confirming that this will be the studio's first M-rated title. It will contain three raunchy games for players to pick between that are “full of spicy surprises and maybe even some familiar faces.” Jackbox Party Pack games typically feature five games, so hopefully, these Jackbox Naughty Pack games have more heft to them to make up for there being fewer of them.
