Yakuza: Like a Dragon Brings a Fresh Twist to the Classic Japanese Video Game Series
As anyone who’s played any of the first seven entries (or other spinoffs) can tell you, there’s nothing quite like the Yakuza series in the video game world. Created by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, Yakuza has long been a staple among Japanese gamers looking for titles a little more mature than something like the Final Fantasy series. But over the last handful of years, the series has finally caught on with a Western audience and taken off around the world. With the brand new Yakuza: Like a Dragon now available on Xbox and PlayStation (although the PS5 version won’t be out for a few more months), players are able to enjoy the series’ unique takes on mature humor, crisp storytelling, and unforgettable moments through a fresh set of eyes — those of new protagonist Ichiban Kasug...

The Dark Pictures Anthology Continues Haunting Gamers With Little Hope
We might be a couple of weeks past Halloween, but that doesn’t mean the spooky season has to end. For those looking to get their scares a little more interactively than watching a horror movie (and with something that doesn’t require getting COVID or needing to leave the house), the latest entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology might just be what you’re looking for. Created by the same folks at Supermassive Games who’ve previously handled terrifying narrative experiences like Until Dawn and Man of Medan, Little Hope offers up another bite-sized adventure for those looking to effectively play out an interactive and immersive horror movie. As per usual, keeping the characters alive (or choosing not to) is entirely up to the player, and the story will continue on regardless of which ones ...

Bad Omens and Chris Malinchak Headline Next Week on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream
In case you forgot, we still have Field Medic coming live to you today on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream, and that wraps up our announced week for the stream. However, what we couldn’t tell you at this time last week was that we’ve got a very special episode of Kat Calls tomorrow, in which our fearless host will be sitting down with the one and only Wave Racer to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know and more about the electronic artist. Once you’re done watching this week’s streams on Twitch, next week has so much content we can barely squeeze it all in. We kick things off with a performance from the Darcys on Monday, and then a doubleheader on Tuesday (including an exclusive interview between Alice Longyu Gao and her friend REI AMI). Molly Moore, Bad Omens, a...
Nigeria ratifies membership of AfCFTA
The Federal Executive Council, FEC, on Wednesday ratified Nigeria’s membership of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area, AfCFTA, as the implementation of the agreement formally takes-off on January 1, 2021. This is as the Council has approved N62.7 billion for the construction of Kano-Dawakin-Tofa-Gwarzo-Dariyo road in Kano. Briefing State House correspondents at the end of the 23rd virtual FEC meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said whereas the implementation of the agreement was initially scheduled to commence in July, this year, the plan was stalled by the spread of COVID-19. Alhaji Mohammed, who briefed on behalf of the Minister of Industry, Trade and Inves...
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S Bring Spatial Audio to the Forefront of Gaming
With the Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S releasing today and the Sony PlayStation 5 joining it in less than 48 hours, gamers are preparing to sink hundreds — if not thousands — of hours into the new hardware over the next handful of years. But while most of the headlines will focus on the 4K visuals, significantly increased framerates, and effectively nonexistent loading times, one of the major upgrades for audiophiles out there is the improvement in spatial audio — or 3D sound, as most marketing teams are phrasing it. In layman’s terms, what that means is effectively the next step up in tying sound sources to specific locations and directions. Although you may not get the full experience without a home theater “surround sound” kind of setup or a good pair of headphones (Astro’s new A...
MISSIO and More Headline Next Week on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream
Don’t sleep through lunch or you may miss FELIN’s performance on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream later today, but while this week has been stellar, we want to prepare you for what’s coming down the pipeline as well. Aside from catching this week’s videos on Twitch (or YouTube in the future), next week’s streams bring everything from concerts to DJ sets to some Call of Duty action live on your streaming device. You won’t want to miss performances from the likes of MISSIO, Niiko x SWAE, Charming Liars, or Field Medic, and Michigander is dropping right into the middle of the week with a little hangout and gaming session. As always, our Twitter and Instagram will both have more updates and reminders over the course of the week. Don’t forget you c...
Heavy Culture: Living Colour on Their Upbringings, Pandemic Life, and Getting Out the Vote
Heavy Culture is a monthly column from journalist Liz Ramanand, focusing on artists of different cultural backgrounds in heavy music as they offer their perspectives on race, society, and more as it intersects with and affects their music. The latest installment of this column features an interview with the Living Colour drummer Will Calhoun, guitarist Vernon Reid and bassist Doug Wimbish. Since 1985, Living Colour have blended rock, metal, and blues to form a sound all their own, inspiring many artists along the way. This year, the rock pioneers are celebrating 30 years of their sophomore album, Time’s Up, which yielded such hits as “Type”, “Love Rears Its Ugly Head”, and “Elvis Is Dead”. This edition of “Heavy Culture” spans several months, as we first caught up with the members of Livin...
Concerts, Voting, and More Next Week on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream
There’s still plenty to look forward to this week on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream (particularly considering that Dave Hause will be performing some new tracks later today), but we already wanted to prepare you for all of the action coming next week as well. After you watch this week’s videos on Twitch (or YouTube in the future), get ready for live concerts from the likes of Gvllow, FELIN, and Edwin Raphael. Add in a doubleheader of Jesse Ruben and Bre Kennedy (who will each be performing their brand new singles, among others) and an empty Tuesday slot so all of the American viewers out there can vote in an attempt to save the country, and it’s sure to be a remarkable week. Don’t forget to hit our Twitter and Instagram for more updates and reminders,...
