PCGamesN Monday, October 28, 2024 8:08 PM  I am an absolute sucker for space games. Whether it's documenting the cosmos in No Man's Sky, shooting up giant worm gods in Destiny 2, or dogfighting in Star Wars Squadrons, if there are some planets to explore or spaceships to be flown, I'm there. Imagine my intrigue, then, when I stumbled across Moon Mystery - a new space game that takes you on a single-player narrative adventure across multiple planets with a distinctly Starfield vibe about it. Now imagine my intrigue when I realized this indie title is launching with the one big feature that made Starfield so underwhelming for many when it launched. Yes, Moon Mystery has succeeded where Bethesda faltered and has launched with vehicles. |

Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris's running mate in the 2024 US presidential election, played some Crazy Taxi with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over the weekend. You can watch the video on his YouTube channel.
Here's the official clip of the segment:
At just about five minutes long, the video starts with Tim Walz talking about the Sega Dreamcast and giving a very brief introduction about Crazy Taxi. He also notes that there's a character of him in the game, which you can unlock if you're really good. This is a reference to a mod, rather than something original. Walz notes that he doesn't know how to use the controls on Xbox, but still seemed to have some muscle memory from his time on the Dreamcast. Throughout the video, he banters with AOC and he reminisces on his old Dreamcast, which he'd bought and eventually had to bring to the office due to his wife's disapproval.
This is a clip from their Twitch stream. They'd also played Madden NFL 25 together during the stream. At the end of the clip on YouTube, Walz reminds people to go vote in the upcoming election, and says that politics are for everyone to participate in and that it can be a joyful thing.
Crazy Taxi first came out in 1999 as an arcade game before the Dreamcast port in 2000. In it, you play as a taxi driver who must get as much money as possible within a set time limit. The latest non-mobile version of Crazy Taxi was Fare Wars in 2007 for the PSP. However, Sega teased a new Crazy Taxi during The Game Awards 2023, with more information on that to come in the future.
The 2024 United States presidential election will take place on November 5, 2024.

The miHoYo Taobao store will open up pre-orders of a 1/8 scale figure of Kafka from Honkai: Star Rail on October 31, 2024. It'll ship out in May 2025. [Thanks, Genshin Goods and heiankyo_327!]
This Kafka figure dresses her up in an elegant evening gown that has some elements of her usual outfit from the game. There are spiderweb motifs all over the bottom half, as well as ruffles and belts. The way the sleeves look, as well as the impression it gives her silhouette, is reminiscent of how she wears her jacket like a cape. As for how the figure is posing, Kafka looks like she's playing the violin, which is an instrument she seems proficient in based on idle animations and cutscenes from Honkai: Star Rail.
In terms of the price, the figure will cost 269 CNY in total. That would convert to around $37.75. When you first put in your order, you'll need to pay 40 CNY ($5.60) to lock in your reservation. Then, you pay the rest of the fee when miHoYo ships the figure.
This isn't the only Honkai: Star Rail figure that miHoYo recently unveiled. Aside from the Kafka figure, it also revealed a Blade Nendoroid and a Jing Yuan chibi doll. You can dress up and pose the doll, and it'll come with a little tasseled badge. Because the doll comes with all of the parts that make up Jing Yuan's outfit, you can actually dress up other similarly-sized figures or dolls like Jing Yuan if you so wish.
Honkai: Star Rail is available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Honkai: Star Rail Kafka figure will be available for pre-order via Taobao from October 31, 2024.

The second anniversary of Goddess of Victory: Nikke will be on October 31, 2024 and as part of the celebration, Old Tales will start in the game. This will add new Nikkes, costumes, and more, along with a story that focuses on the second-generation Grimms Models.
You can watch the trailer for the Goddess of Victory: Nikke second anniversary here:
The full patch list is also available on the website, if you want details about everything. For starters, there will be three new Nikkes: Cinderella, Grave, and Rapunzel. Cinderella uses the Glass Slippers RL and is an Electric Defender Meanwhile, Grave uses the Writer's Eraser AR and is a Fire Supporter. Both of these are in the gacha, with Cinderella appearing first. Rapunzel will be free so long as you clear the story events and missions. She uses the Holy Grace SR and is an Iron Defender.
There will also be new costumes for D: Killer Wife, Isabel, Scarlet: Black Shadow, and Cinderella. The D: Killer Wife and Isabel costumes are available from passes. However, the Scarlet: Black Shadow and Cinderella costumes are via gacha. This is because they add new lines, animations, and poses, as well as use a special model.
Outside of characters and cosmetics, the second anniversary will feature the Old Tales story, as well as the "In the Mirror" mini-game. This is a limited time mini-game, and you have until the end of the patch to play it. It's a Metroidvania-style game in which you traverse the mirror world, and you can see a sample of it in the trailer.
Goddess of Victory: Nikke came out on November 4, 2022, about two years ago. It's a free-to-play mobile third-person shooter that features a fully female cast wielding guns ranging from assault rifles to rocket launchers. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic future in which Nikkes, artificial soldiers, need to fight against aliens to reclaim Earth for humanity. Aside from the story, its commitment to fanservice may also be a draw for some players.
Goddess of Victory: Nikke is available on mobile devices and Windows PC. The second anniversary patch for Nikke will go live on October 31, 2024.
