Playing Mixtape is like playing a video game version of a high school movie. Kids banter about the meaning of life and the theme songs that would play when they walk in a room.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Is Rebranding Itself, Sort Of
Earlier this week, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma put the following question to fans on social media: "Xbox" or "XBOX"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-ceo-wants-to-know-if-you-spell-it-xbox-or-xbox/1100-6539930/)? Out of the 19,176 votes cast, all caps XBOX was the clear winner with 64.8% of the total. Now, Microsoft has seemingly taken that to heart by rebranding the Xbox account on X(https://x.com/XBOX) with all-caps XBOX. The Verge(https://www.theverge.com/news/931918/microsoft-xbox-rebrand-caps) was one of the first outlets to notice the change, and it notes that Xbox's Bluesky and Threads accounts have yet to reflect the slight renaming. When reached for comment by The Verge, Microsoft directed readers back to Sharma's poll on X. When the original Xbox console was released in 2001, its name was in all caps. The subsequent logos for its successors were also in caps, but the brand was spelled normally by Microsoft. Earlier this year, Sharma reverted Microsoft Gaming's name back to Xbox, so it's entirely possible that the XBOX spelling is back as well. This may be an exercise in branding and nostalgia for a time when Xbox was at its peak before the significant declines(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-ceo-reacts-to-yet-another-disappointing-period-for-xbox/1100-6539711/) that the company has recently suffered in hardware and game sales.

🎮 Multi-platformMortal Kombat 2 Might Not Be Perfect, But It Fixes The First Movie's Biggest Flaw
Video game adaptations can be a tricky beast. They can either go the prestige route like The Last of Us with its Emmy-nominated television series, or be a dreadful reference marathon such as The Minecraft Movie. While 2021’s Mortal Kombat film had a myriad of issues, such as the lack of the tournament that serves as the game series' centerpiece, and a focus on an original character created for the film rather than one of the franchise's existing cast, it had its heart in the right place by trying to honor the original game series. With the expansion of a sequel, the series had the opportunity to course-correct to deliver not only an engaging film, but also one that fans of the series deserve. I’m pleased to report that despite some near-fatal flaws in the storytelling department, Mortal Kombat II is mostly a success. Mortal Kombat II opens with a flashback depicting Outworld ruler Shao Kahn usurping control of the realm of Edenia, and right off the bat, establishes itself as more in tune with the lore of the Mortal Kombat series than the previous movie. The 2021 film struggled in this regard because the film followed Cole Young (Lewis Tan), an original character who served as an audience self-insert. While that route might have worked to bring in audiences who had no prior experience with the games, the decision felt like it went against what Mortal Kombat is: a battle between the six realms for complete control.

🎮 Multi-platformFanatical's Capcom Classics Bundle Offers 8 DRM-Free PC Games For Cheap
Fanatical's May 2026 Bundle Fest(https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=118821&awinaffid=2873961&campaign=&clickref=&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanatical.com%2Fen%2Fbundle&platform=pl) is still going strong, and one of the best ones to browse is the Capcom Classic Bundle: GOG Edition(https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=118821&awinaffid=2873961&campaign=&clickref=--&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanatical.com%2Fen%2Fpick-and-mix%2Fcapcom-classics-bundle-gog-edition&platform=pl). If you're a fan of retro games, this eight-game collection offers some of Capcom's best, covering a few different genres like survival horror, fighting, and RPGs. Like with other build your own bundles through fanatical, you can start with choosing any three games for $8, or $3 each. Then if you get five or more games, they're down to $2.80. If you want all eight titles, they're each $2.75. That's eight games for just $22 compared to the $96 full-price value. See at Fanatical(https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=118821&awinaffid=2873961&campaign=&clickref=--&ued=https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/capcom-classics-bundle-gog-edition&platform=pl) One of the biggest draws here is the first three original Resident Evil games. These may have no aged the most gracefully, but it's hard to deny the charms of the cheesy voice acting and the tense fixed camera angles. I know we all remember the first time the zombie dog crashed through the window in the Spencer mansion in the opening moments of Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis' Clocktower section is an iconic location that sadly wasn't included in the 2020 remake. You can also pick up Dino Crisis and its sequel, which take the fixed camera, tank-controls, and other design sensibilities from Resident Evil and pits against new prehistoric threats.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox is now XBOX
Xbox just allcapsmaxxed: Meet XBOX. This isn't a joke; Microsoft appears to be actually rebranding Xbox to XBOX. Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or XBOX. The results were in favor of XBOX, and the company has now renamed its X account. &8230;

That's why Crunchyroll's limited-time subscription deal(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcrunchyrollstore.sjv.io%2Fc%2F1804712%2F1730612%2F20100%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.crunchyroll.com%252F&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2Frss&eventtype=click) during its annual Ani-May event(https://www.crunchyrollanimay.com/) is such a steal.

🎮 Multi-platformCreate Your Own Indie Showcase With These Limited-Time Bundle Deals
Fanatical and Humble Bundle are easily the most popular bundle sites online, offering countless games, books, software, and more over the years at great discounts and benefitting good causes. This month, it both sites have a vast and eclectic of indie showcase bundles available for you to peruse. The Humble 15th Anniversary Indie Icons Showcase bundle(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhumblebundleinc.sjv.io%2Fc%2F1804712%2F2059850%2F25796%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.humblebundle.com%252Fgames%252Fhumble-15th-anniversary-indie-icons-showcase%253Fhmbsource%253D%2526hmbmedium%253Dproducttile%2526hmbcampaign%253Dmosaicsection1layoutindex1layouttypethreestileindex2chumble15thanniversaryindieiconsshowcasebundle&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F%3Fplatform%3D5&eventtype=click) gets you 8 games for just $10, with titles like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Citizen Sleeper as part of its catalogue. Fanatical, on the other hand, has the Build Your Own Indie Showcase Bundle(https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=118821&awinaffid=2873961&campaign=&clickref=&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanatical.com%2Fen%2Fpick-and-mix%2Fbuild-your-own-indie-showcase-bundle&platform=pl), which has a variable pricing model where you can buy as many of the 20 listed games as you want. The more games you add, the more you'll save in the long run. Regardless of which bundle you pick, every game included is given as a digital Steam key. These can expire, so be sure to redeem them before it's too late. Check out the full lists below. Humble 15th Anniversary Indie Icons Showcase !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1701/17013431/4696761-humbleindie.jpg)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1701/17013431/4696761-humbleindie.jpg) While this indie showcase bundle doesn't quite have nearly the same quantity of games as the Fanatical version, some of the best indie games in recent years are included. Celeste is a super challenging 2D platformer that will tug hard at your heartstrings, while Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (a personal favorite of mine) is a Castlevania-adjacent adventure developed by small indie studio ArtPlay, which is headed by Castlevania legend Koji "Iga" Igarashi. There's a sequel coming soon, so it may be a good time to jump in now. If you like narrative-centered RPGs, Citizen Sleeper is a gorgeous tabletop-inspired story set in a Cyberpunk world. You can pay as much as you want, but if you want the full 8-game bundle, a minimum of $10 is required. Any extra amount you decide to donate goes directly to the corresponding charity.
