You probably don’t rememberPuddle, aLocoRocotype puzzle game that was created by six French students for the 2010 GDC Independent Games Festival. It was previously available on the PSN and XBLA networks in January of this year, but now, it’s also coming to the Playstation Vita. One touted feature of the new version is the enhanced ability to skip more levels (yay?). Other new features include touch screen support, new control options, graphical updates, and more loading screen tips....

New games, new team-ups, and new gameplay They did it. They invoked theSummer Game Festhashtag. But it’s Annapurna Interactive, a publisher on a real hot streak that doesn’t seem like it’ll fizzle out anytime soon, so we can let it slide. And come to think of it, last year might’ve been an endless tide of publisher-led showcases that didn’t always justify themselves, but 2021 hasn’t really been tiring on that front....

Um, yes Dragon Quest IXwas immensely popular, and one of the most successfulDragon Questgames in the history of the series. Not just in Japan, mind, but I knew scores of US players who were always looking to link up and rock multiplayer, DS-to-DS. It was a social game before StreetPass and mobile titles really took off. Everyone needed a full copy of the game to play, a concept that helped it smash sales records....

Because war is coming Ah, time travel. It’s a staple of science fiction, andStar Trekhas played host to more than a few yarns about tripping the light chronologic. Thus it’s not unusual to see a few time-travel quests lodged into MMORPGStar Trek Online‘s mission lineup. Whatisunusual, though, is how developer Cryptic are planning to involve temporal hijinks in the game’s latest event:The Delta Recruitment Month. The event, slated to run from April 2nd to May 21st, is designed to encourage new players to join the game and to convince current or returning players to start up fresh characters (“alts” in the common parlance)....

Made in Heaven It’s Monday morning, which sees many of us grumbling out of the house for another week of work. Here’s hoping I can redress the balance somewhat by showcasing this video, featuring 30 minutes of footage from Capcom’s upcoming survival horror remake,Resident Evil 2. Recorded by Capcom UK, the video features a solid half-hour of spooky exploration and action featuring everybody’s favourite Disc 2 star, Claire Redfield. Ponytail and leather jacket in check, the intrepid Claire wanders her way through the corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department, where she encounters a couple of familiar faces, and not all welcome ones....

The new standalone game is free for players who bought the original non-VR Superhot, and it’s not too late to get in The team behindSuperhothas been working diligently over the past few years on an expansion for their innovative shooter calledMind Control Delete. What started as a roguelike add-on has shifted into a full-fledged (non-VR) standalone game with more features and story to expand the original’s content. It has been lingering in paid Early Access for a while, but all along the devs have told those who don’t wish to pay for an Early Access game to be patient....

The Nintendo Today app has been giving Nintendo fans daily news and looks at stuff surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 for weeks now, but it’s a recent posting regarding mouse sensitivity that is the most classic Nintendo thing we have seen in a while. For those who haven’t been keeping up with news, the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons can be used as a mouse if you tilt them onto their side, giving you a wealth of options to play games likeMetroid Prime 4with a mouse-like cursor for aiming instead of using the joysticks for those who want to play that way....

If you like balanced playstyles, this might be it We’ve seen spots forDragon’s Crown‘sDwarf, Fighter,Wizard,Sorceress, andElf, and now the time has come for the final character video — the Amazon. The Amazon looks to be a mix of the Elf, the Dwarf, and Fighter’s playstyles, with a combination of graceful aerial attacks and deliberate power. On a dime, the Amazon seemingly goes from crushing, massive charge attacks to elaborate aerial raves, which makes her all the more enticing to play....
