Hello, Shacknews. Man, I get over COVID and then almost immediately get a sinus infection, forcing me to call my DICE week early. When it rains, it pours, am I right? Well, I'm on the mend and here to bring you another round of news, memes, and entertainment! This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.

In case you missed it at Shacknews:

And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!

Around the Gaming Horn

Here's some rapid-fire news to wrap up your week.

The next part of the Lara Croft saga has been remastered. Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is now available.

Over 1 million served for Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

Remember System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition? It's almost ready, but it has undergone a name change. The folks at Nightdive Studios have now named System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. A release date will be revealed at this year's Game Developers Conference, which is just a month away.

And enjoy this special Valentine's-themed event in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

And now... Other Stuff From The Internet!!!

Here's a DICE anecdote for you, readers. I briefly got together with esteemed media folk and we were talking about some of our travels. Among the crew was IGN's Rebekah Valentine, who modestly teased a really cool feature that would be hitting on Friday. This is it. It's an interview with the Okami sequel team: Hideki Kamiya, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, and Kiyohiko Sakata.

Game recognize game on this one. Reb is the best in the business. She killed it here, so go check this out and learn more about one of our most anticipated games of the next year.

GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
