Sure, we could talk about his in-ring skill or his iconic career. Instead, though, we take a look at whether or not he was as attractive as he thought he was. After all, Rude's entire gimmick was based on how ravishing he believed himself to be. Was he right?Image credit: WWEThen, we take a look at WCW's sexiest wrestler. Of course, we're talking about The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea. Remember Prince Iaukea, the former WCW cruiserweight champion and someone who essentially just became a parody of the musician Prince?

During Sony's State of Play presentation, we got our first look at gameplay for the gonzo and widely memed game Bugsnax. As explained by a very grouchy editor in the gameplay trailer, you're a journalist who ventures to the Isle of Bugsnax to find the critters and examine the life there.When you find the island, you catalog the creatures with photography mechanics. You can use tools like a ketchup lure, traps, and a crossbow to help you lure out and find the creatures roaming around the island. The island inhabitants, a group of pioneers called the Grumpuses, will give you quests as you help rebuild the community.While most of the Bugsnax creatures have been relatively small--you know, they're snacks--the trailer also gave a brief glimpse of a giant winged pizza monster, so suffice it to say Bugsnax come in all shapes and sizes and flavors.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

You will be able to switch between the old art and the new art at any point during the game.In GameSpot's Braid Review, critic Tom Mc Shea wrote, "The captivating ending sequence, which makes use of your rewind ability in a jaw-dropping new way, provides the exclamation point on this remarkable game, but the adventure is consistently engaging throughout the entire ride. The clever puzzles alone are enough to make this an adventure worth taking. Braid's deep and mesmerizing tale is evergreen: it is outside of and beyond time. It will never get old."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Season 2 of The Boys certainly has some outlandish moments headed your way. In the first trailer for the upcoming September 4 release on Amazon Prime Video, fans saw a giant whale get rammed by a boat. In a new clip for the show, we see the "fun" doesn't end there with the now dead whale, and it was apparently pretty rough to film for the cast.During the CTAM Summer Press Tour, the cast of the show discussed the upcoming season, while giving everyone a sneak peek at what's in store for The Boys and The Seven. And it involves a lot of whale guts, as you can see in the NSFW clip below.GameSpot's sister site TV Guide asked during the panel about what it was like to deal with all those whale guts and fake blood, and of course, it was a bit gross. Laz Alonso, who plays Mother's Milk, jumped right in while the rest of the cast giggled to themselves. "When Eric Kripke and the 1st AD that was in charge of that episode broke the whale storyline to us, we were all standing in a hallway in front of these storyboards," Alonso recalled. "And he explained how cool it was, and how I'm going to drive through the whale, and we're actually going to be on the water, shooting this ourselves, no stunt guys, helicopter shots, all this stuff. No green screen, this was going to be us. A 50-foot animatronic whale on the beach that we're going to run into. So without asking, the 1st AD volunteers that they even have air conditioning built inside the whale, so that when we're inside the whale, we're nice and cool."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There are even more creative assassination possibilities coming to Hitman III when it hits PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 next year. In addition to wandering through the game's various locales in a third-person perspective, figuring out how to kill your targets with everything from an explosive rubber ducky to a carefully placed poison drink, you'll also be able to play the entire game in virtual reality, as revealed in a new trailer for the upcoming third game in IO Interactive's rebooted Hitman series.As Sony revealed during its latest State of Play presentation, Hitman III will have PSVR support that puts you in the first-person perspective of protagonist Agent 47. We already knew that Hitman III would also include all the missions from the first two games if you already own them--as the new trailer notes, you'll also get VR support for Hitman and Hitman 2's missions, too.IO Interactive previously discussed the ways the PS5's increased power and speedier loading is going to allow it to increase the complexity of the levels in Hitman III; the series is known for its large stages that are kind of like big clockwork systems, where players are rewarded for learning all the nooks and crannies and studying characters' movements to find the best, most efficient, and most hilarious ways to eliminate them. VR's new perspective could offer even more ways to engage with that complexity, and provide new solutions to Hitman's complex assassination puzzles.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
