  Skull and Bones Actually Received an ESRB Rating

  Ubisoft's high-seas adventure might finally be taking shape.

The game began development in 2013, starting first as a spin-off of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag before becoming its own stand-alone experience. Over these past nine years, Ubisoft restarted development several times, delayed the game indefinitely, and exceeded its budget several times over.
  
  Skull and Bones was expected to be released...

  Nintendo Direct Mini Announced for June 28

  This new Direct will focus on third-party partners.
  
  A new Nintendo Direct will air on Tuesday, June 28. This so-called Nintendo Direct Mini will focus on third-party titles, meaning Nintendo's first-party offerings won't be seen here. That means no Breath of the Wild 2 or whatever new Mario or Metroid the folks at Nintendo might be working on.
  
  This Partner Showcase is set to run for about 25 minutes. You will be able to catch all that third-party Nintendo Switch action...

  Epic Games Store Implements Unusual Rating System

  You can review games but only when Epic says you can.
  
  User scores are a real mixed bag. You have people that will fairly rate games based on their honest opinions. These sorts are rather rare. You have users that will rate on an "all or nothing" scale where only the lowest and highest numbers are viable options to them. You have those that will rate a game highly because it's a meme. Then you have those that will participate in review bombing of a title because of a variety...

  Sonic Creator Confirms Old Rumor - Michael Jackson Composed Music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3

  The decades old rumor/worst kept secret has finally been officially confirmed.
  
  Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka took to Twitter to officially confirm a rumor that has been kicking around for literal decades now: Michael Jackson composed some of the music for the 1994 release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It makes a lot more sense now as to why some of the Sonic 3 tracks in the recently released Sonic Origins package had to be changed.
  
  It's long been a theory that Jackson...

  Team Fortress 2 Receives Substantial Exploit Fix Update

  No, this update doesn't directly tackle the bot problem.
  
  An update for Team Fortress 2 was released last night for the 15-year-old game. While this update does not tackle the game's horrific bot problem directly, it does fix a number of bugs and exploits. It's one of the larger patches released for the game in quite some time now.
  
  The update fixes some exploits related to being able to use sv_cheats on secure servers. That seems like a pretty important thing to fix. It...
