The newly formed Tiny Wonder Studiohas announcedthat they are working on aspiritual successortoChibi-RobocalledKoROBO. The real clincher here is that it’s being worked on by former staff fromChibi-Robo’sdeveloper, Skip Ltd. It seems to be early in development, but currently,KoROBOlooks like a pretty clear copy ofChibi-Robo, right down to certain mechanical and aesthetic choices that look more than similar to the often overlooked GameCube classic. Amusingly, that actually ties into the story, which states that the protagonist is “not the coolest and latest in tiny household robo tech, but some knockoff model....

October 16 We’ve seen it teased, and now it’s a reality:Ghost of Tsushima‘s LegendsDLCis coming on October 16. When it hits the PS4 it’ll be free, coupled with version 1.1, which also ushers in the long-awaited New Game+ mode. Sony says that the idea of Legends’ co-op functionality went hand and hand with the motif of “warriors standing together, ready to fight as a team” from old samurai cinema. Legends will be playable in both “story mission” form for up to two players, as well as a four-player survival mode....

I need scissors! 61! Also, clarification! During the yesterday’sMetal Gear Solid Vreveal (find the fabulous gameplay demo and trailer here) I was sort of sure I knew what was going on. To my understanding,Metal Gear Solid: Ground ZeroesandMetal Gear Solid: The Phantom Painwere actually the same game, forming a subtitle-freeMetal Gear Solid V. However, more than a few people got the idea that the announcement was for aMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painthat is separate toGround Zeroes....

Bravemight sound familiar to some of you out there. The first game in this series came out on the PS2 awhile back and was a platformer similar toTak. There are some new sequels in the works now and I’m here to talk about the upcoming DS version. Unlike the console versions,Shaman’s Challengeis going to be a puzzle game similar toPuzzle QuestandTetris Attack. I didn’t get to see much, but I did find it enjoyable....

It looks like theHot Shots Golfgame for Vita finally has a name:World Invitational. I don’t care what they call it. Just take my money! This new trailer shows off the game’s new touch functions. As someone that plays videogame golf just aboutevery single day, I’m pretty jazzed about some of the touch features. There’s a pinch feature that lets you move your character by touching both the front and back screens at the same time as if you were picking your character up....

If anything,Coral Islandis a game of staggered rewards. By that, I of course mean that you may have a larger goal in mind — save the island, romance that one character, clear your farm of debris — but there are a ton of smaller, more achievable goals that over time will result in the bigger goal being achieved. At some point, you’ll begin to realize your starter tools aren’t cutting it anymore, for example....

After theEarly Access reveal forPath of Exile 2, I had the opportunity to sit down with Jonathan Rogers,Path of Exile 2Game Director. We dove a little deeper into the newly announced content coming to the ARPG including the revealed endgame, classes, as well as what to expect in the future. DESTRUCTOID:It’s awesome to see so many popular league mechanics return inPOE2but as a Blight enjoyer I have to ask: any chance we’ll see Blight come toPOE2?...

This past weekend I was in Boston, but not entirely for PAX East, as you might expect. Instead, I took the opportunity to take a mini-vacation with my family. So I wasn’t there to work, dodging appointment and meeting requests leading up to the event. But when Irrational Games reached out and asked if I’d like to attend an intimate dinner with the studio’s founder and creative director Ken Levine, I had to respond the only way I knew how: “Oh f*ck yes....

It took me around 35 hours to finishDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach, but its most memorable moments come towards the end of Hideo Kojima’s “strand” epic. I need to talk about it. Spoilers will follow, obviously, so if you haven’t finishedDeath Stranding 2yet or don’t want to know what happens, then steer clear and come back once you’re ready. I promise you, it’s something you want to experience for yourself if you may manage it....

I hope you’re not sick of voxels yet Does this look at all familiar?Ace of Spadeswas one of the firstMinecraft-esque first-person shooters I remember paying any sort of attention to, although I admittedly never did try it out. 2.5 million of you installed the game’s prototype, however, and that number should climb drastically onceRuneScapedeveloper Jagex gets the game up on Steam next month. This new “full version” from the Cambridge, UK-based studio is said to have an improved graphics engine and further weapons to choose from “for a small one-off fee....

Yakuza, Japan’s mafia, has a long history with games: card games, Pachinko machines, and now social gaming. Some of Japan’s current social games, including one about Yakuza, are funded by Japan’s mafia, according toTokyo Viceauthor and ex-Yomiuri Shinbun reporter Jake Adelstein. I’m not going to say the name of the companies but there are several gaming companies – social gaming companies – that were funded by organized crime, because organized crime is Japan’s biggest private equity....
