Can’t make it to this year’s Comic-Con? Let’s hope you have an Xbox 360, because Xbox Live and Warner Bros. have partnered to bringComic-Con 07 to the Marketplace. That means trailers, coverage of the panels, and even a300theme will be available very soon. Here’s hoping we get at least one demo out of this thing. You’ve got to hand it to Microsoft — they really do know how to produce great content from these events....
Fezonce seemed like such a dream to me, but now that it’s here, my mind wanders. Where are all those other virtual indie pals I’ve been dreaming of? Will they ever arrive or will they remain eternal in screenshots, forgotten by most. Whether driven by fear or an immense curiosity, I’ve been digging through every forum, news post, and panty drawer in search of news of indie games gone missing. IfFez— theDuke Nukem Foreverof indie games — can see release in spectacular fashion, I don’t see why the rest can’t....
These roads will be my undoing Ahead of April Fools’ Day, Google has turnedGoogle Mapsinto a playable game ofMs. Pac-Man. Just click the little icon (it’s unmissable on the mobile app and found on the bottom left on desktop), then off you go. Streets become pellet-filled lanes and Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue will give chase until you either run out of lives or decide you’ve had enough of this little time-waster....
Not even the labyrinth can protect your wallet As previouslyannounced, Atlus dropped a new trailer for the upcomingPersona Q2:New Cinema Labyrinthtoday.While it primarily focuses on footage we have previously seen,it does contain a few instances of new material. The biggest new detail from the trailer, however, is DLC already being confirmed. You can catch the new trailer and all the fun within below. It may not be all new footage like I’m sure many of us would want, there are a couple of points that do stand out....
OK, so this week is a little less than stellar. But look at it this way, next week is going to be so awesome!The Darkness, Transformers, Pokemon Battle Revolution and Final Fantasy Anniversary editionall (should) land next week.As far as this week goes though, like I said, it’s less than stellar. Resident Evil 4 is a must have for anyone who missed it the first two times around. Aside from that,DiRTlooks pretty....
In case you weren’t aware, Sony Online Entertainment via their studio in Taipei, Taiwan, is developing an MMO (yes, another MMO) based on the Stephen Chow movieKung Fu Hustle. The game is a tad different, however, from other MMOs. For one, it’s a fighter and two, it doesn’t look like your typical online universe. After seeing this at a recent SOE event, I can’t say I was exactly thrilled by the possibilities, but I suppose if you’re a fighting game fan or MMO junkie looking for a different kind of fix, this could help you out — besides, it’s free....
Also, two StreetPass games and Mewtwo DLC This week, the Nintendo 64 rides again withDonkey Kong 64on the Wii U eShop. It’s an incredibly bizarre, flawed, and all-around awesome experience that must be seen to be believed. Oh, andTilelicious: Delicious Tilesis a thing too. The 3DS is no slouch either, asStreetPass Ultimate AnglerandStreetPass Battleground Zare now out. If you’ve had your fill of the previous two rounds of StreetPass games, now is the time to invest in more — we’ll have thoughts on the pair in the near future....
They would have to have been crazy not to In a move that should shock absolutely no one, it appears that Sony actuallydidrewrite bits and pieces of its E3 2013 presentation after witnessing Microsoft’s own announcements crash and burn. Sony Computer Entertainment boss Andrew House confessed today at a Develop 2014 conference that he himself had actually rewritten pieces of the script after being faced with concerns that PlayStation would mimic Microsoft’s policies in the future....
Don’t go cryin’ to your mama I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve never played the originalBinding of Isaac. Hell, I didn’t even know there was one separate fromThe Binding of Isaac: Rebirththat has gotten extensive playtime on my Vita. Well, for those of you who were fans of Isaac before it was cool to be a fan of Isaac, then you will want to know that there’s some new DLC being developed by co-creator and programmer Florian Himsl — and he’s doing it all himself!...
Ah PC gaming I had the good fortune of being introduced to the console and PC arena almost simultaneously. As such, I grew up with a wide variety of different games, but the 90s PC era was one of my consistent favorites. While waiting for great RPGs likeChrono Triggerand the nextFinal Fantasy, I could always retreat toJezzBall,Command & Conquer, and hundreds of others on a Compaq-386 and eventually, a Pentium series....
Project Zomboiddeveloper The Indie Stone has been hard at work on the game’s next major update, Build 42, for years, and it’s finally due to releasesometime in 2024. According to the latest development blog post, in fact, it may be coming soon, and it’s loaded with graphical improvements. Notably,The Indie Stone has explainedthatProject Zomboid‘s hugely improved crafting system is the last major blocker for Build 42’s unstable candidate release, and that the team has decided to separate the feature into two stages to ensure a timely launch window....
Hopefully a fix that brings it inline with Sony and Microsoft is soon Losing save data for a massive game just sucks. I remember back in the day having batteries die out on Game Boy and SNES cartridges, dealing with corrupted PlayStation memory cards, and so on. Data management as a whole is just a pain in the ass, and Nintendo isn’t making it any easier on the Switch. For those who aren’t aware, the Switch is a bit obtuse when it comes to save data....
Will anything ever top Monster Hunter: World?
