God is deer “The Deer Godis a breathtaking 3D pixel art game that will challenge your religion and your platforming skills,” theKickstarter pagereads. Challenge well accepted. I am incredibly good at both platformers and religion. I can’t tell you how many tasteless crackers and extra lengthy swigs of Christ wine I’ve eaten and drunk. While it will not beat me at religion, it does look rather nice.Staggering, even. Idoen’t know if I can handle it....

Coming December 9 Activision has just sent some details our way forDestiny‘s first expansion,The Dark Below, which will be available December 9.

Out for three weeks Bungie laid out its plansgoing forward forDestinytoday. Instead of providing full expansion-like experiences, they’re going to be focusing on micro-events, likethe Festival of the LostHalloween activity at the Tower a few months back. The newest addition is Sparrow Racing (SRL), which is available today to play for three weeks, until it’s shelved again. It’s…fun to play once or twice, that’s about it. Right now, there are two tracks available — one on Mars, and another on Venus....

Much to my chagrin So,Frozen. I must be one of the only people on the planet who doesn’t like it. I mean, I love Elsa — it’s about time Idina Menzel and her amazing voice got the respect she deserves — but the rest, including most of the songs, just didn’t gel with me. Disney has since been pushingFrozenreally hard. As a frequent visitor of the Walt Disney World Resort, it’s been interesting to see Norway slowly evolve intoFrozen Land, complete with an overhaul of the classic Maelstrom ride (RIP)....

Hadouken in style Video game culture is no stranger to releasing some awesome foot wear. From Vans line ofNintendo themed shoesto the weirderSonic the Hedgehogbranded kicks. The latest game to be preserved in shoe form isStreet Fighter II. An odd choice when you consider that Ryu is more of a barefoot guy. All the same, these high-tops are pretty damn cool. These shoes are decorated with pixel art of theStreet Fightercast like Ken, Ryu, and Chun Li....

Some ‘rough scribbles’ from the old days at Rare Aside from my normal rotation of gaming-adjacent YouTube subs that I keep tabs on a few times a week, lately, my feed has been full of anything but modern video games – hardware mods, console restorations, little-known tidbits about my favorite series, wacky lists, and everything in between. It’s entirely on-brand that I’d come across a video from former Rare artistKev Baylisscovering his originalDonkey Kong Countrysketches – including the iconic Animal Buddies – from 1993....

When half an hour of baffling weirdness isn’t enough I know it’s Saturday night and many of you hip young things are getting in gear for a rambunctious night out. But, instead of wasting time dressing up, getting drunk, having a scrap and ending up in a gutter/jail cell, why not just settle down and check outSplatoon 2′s Pearl & Marina in concert? The duo, collectively known as Off the Hook, took to the stage to perform their greatest (s)hits at theSplatoon 2European Championships, held recently in Montreux, Switzerland....

Ten indie games in one booth We have seen thePAX 10 at PAX Prime, theIndie Megabooth at PAX East, andIndies Crash E3 at E3, so it seemed inevitable that something similar would pop up at the upcoming European videogame expogamescom. The Indie Arena will fill that role, as the first multi-game booth put together by a group of independent developers to show up at gamescom. Ten games will be a part of the Indie Arena this year, from a wide array of genres....

You’ve got about two days left to join in As someone who would really like to see the space-combat genre revitalized, it’s been neat to see people like Chris Roberts ofStar Citizenand now David Braben ofElite: Dangerousfind success on Kickstarter. If anyone can pave the way for other studios to deliver those kinds of experiences again on a grand, modern scale, it’s probably these guys. With around two days left before the campaign ends,Elite: Dangeroushas passed its pledge goal of £1,250,000....

Pre-chaos Just in case you forgot,Final Fantasy XV‘s swan song is nearly here. Yep, remember thatTabata exit back in November? The ripples are still being felt as nearly all planned DLC forXVwas canceled, which might finally bring an end to the ongoing saga of add-ons. Now we all have left isEpisode Ardyn, a prequel set roughly three decades before the main campaign. Square Enix is sharing more and more each week on top of thealready-live anime episode(that takes place 2000 years in the past) and now we’re getting a good look at the capital city of Insomnia....
