CES: Hands-on with the joyfully dark Scarygirl

As the kind of person who seemingly keeps trying to find the pulse of pop culture rectally, I sometimes miss really cool things. Take Nathan Jurevicius’Scarygirlcomic, which has built up a huge fan base over the last ten years. It’s gone from humble web roots to include a graphic novel, a critically-acclaimed browser game with plans for an upcoming feature film. And nobody told me. Thanks, bastards. Next week, Scarygirl takes another big step as she comes to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade....

Contest: Win a Switch copy of Hob: The Definitive Edition

Cobble the world of Hob back together Get ready for today’s contest and win a Switch copy ofHob: The Definitive Edition! I consider the PS2 days to be the definitive era for platformers. They were fun and vibrant and colorful, and weren’t afraid to have cartoonish and distinct visuals instead of the hyper-realism we became so obsessed with in generations since. RememberJak and Daxter? Yeah, that’s my jam. Hob: The Definitive Editionreminds me a lot of that sweet, innocent time....

Croteam: HD remakes take a lot of work

HD remakes are all the rage these days, andSerious Sam HD: The First Encounterwas but one of them. Since the groundwork for a remake has already been laid out, one could be forgiven for thinking that they’re easy to develop. However, studio boss Roman Ribaric has told us just how much work goes into a game like Serious Sam HD. “Funny how some think that HD is achieved by raising the resolution and that’s it,” states Ribaric....

Damn, y’all HATE Popplio

Destructoid’s community ranks the best starter Pokemon Yesterday we decided as a staffwhich starter Pokemon were best and which were worstand I decided, personally, that my friends and colleagues were a bunch of jabronis who do things like rank Froakie too low, rank Piplup too high, and don’t lay the smack down on Torchic’s dumb ass. But after we went live with the definitive, canon starter rankings that Nintendo is legally obliged to honor from here on out pursuant section 6, article 9 of our contract, I figured I’d leave the wheel of democracy open to y’all, linking the same poll we used....

Everything that happened at Bethesda’s annual okay E3 2019 press conference

It wouldn’t be E3 without a nostalgic franchise getting turned into a F2P mobile game So Bethesda isn’t quite an industry giant like say, Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo. They aren’t going to bring the heat as much as a “big three” so to speak, so it makes sense to keep expectations in check. With Bethesda at E3, my expectations arealwaysin check. They said upfront thatDoom Eternalwould be the main focus and they were true to their word....

Fellowship cuts the MMO grind in favor of pure dungeon-running action

As someone who’s spent thousands of hours in dozens of different MMORPGs over the year, I’ve often heard the phrase, “It’s not about getting to end-game, it’s about the journey to get there.” While that may be true for the MMORPG genre as a whole, I’d argue that in a lot of cases the leveling process simply serves as way too long tutorial. Developer Chief Rebel and publisher Arc Games has dubbedFellowshipthe first-ever “MODA”, or Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure....

Free App of the Day: Necromancer Rising

Today’s freebie is a pleasantly old school first-person dungeon crawler by the name ofNecromancer Rising(iOS). If you want a hardcore hack n’ slash roleplayer that costs zero dollars, look no further! Necromanceris not the best looking game, sporting very basic 3D visuals, and the voice acting is amusingly bad at best. Nevertheless, the game retains a certain charm that the lacking aesthetics only enhance. If you’re able to really get into it, there seems to be quite a lot of gameplay on offer, too....

Heavy stuff Gravity Rush 2made an unexpected appearance today at Sony’s Paris Games Week showcase, where directorKeiichiro Toyama shared some new footage that features protagonist Kat harnessing the power of gravity in some new and interesting ways.
