I was skeptical ofGuild Wars 2. The originalGuild Wars, by ArenaNet’s own admission, was a Cooperative RPG (CORPG), and not an MMO. As a result, the game was heavily instanced, and even though it was a decent dungeon crawler, I felt like it didn’t really do anything that hadn’t been done before, ultimately leaving me to stick toDiablo IIandPhantasy Star Online. Some time into the development ofGuild Wars 2, I started to hear more promising things....
It seems Player First Games is pulling out all the stops to convince people to giveMultiVersusanother chance when it re-launches. Aside from everyone’sfavourite clown criminal the Joker joining the roster, a new launch trailer has confirmed two more additions:Friday the 13th‘s Jason Voorhees andThe Matrix‘s Agent Smith. Jason’s inclusion had leaked over the weekend, but Agent Smith certainly took me by surprise. Given therecent teases for The Powerpuff Girls, I’d have thought they’d be the next character reveal....

That’s all I needed to hear In the time since Alasdair wrote aboutCrawland itssuperb trailerearlier today, the arcade-y multiplayer dungeon crawler has been approved for release on Steam. Nice timing there. A bunch of other gameswere greenlit too, as is the case nowadays, but this was the standout by far.

Veronica Mars: The early years We need more games likeGone Home. The exploration-basedGone Homecomes from The Fullbright Company, which is composed of three ex-BioShockdevelopers. From the looks of it, the ambiance and environmental story-telling that makeBioshockso good are in full effect here. You return home after several years abroad to find your house empty and your family gone. Because the game takes place in the 90’s, it’s a bit more reasonable to suggest you wouldn’t have known about this earlier when your mom wouldn’t answer your Facebook pokes from the in-plane wi-fi....
Galaga is one of those games I just can’t resist when I see an old arcade cabinet. I’m not very good at it, and my game sessions don’t last long, but I still love it. I think it’s a nostalgia thing. A portable version for iPhone sounds like a pretty good idea. Namco thought so, which is probably why they madeGalaga Remix. Galaga Remixhas the original 1981 classic packed in, but the real attraction is an all new game based onGalaga Arrangement, saystouchArcade....
Waffles or dry farts in your mouth? The Splatfests have been pretty hit or miss but always interesting to see what opinion players have on little inane questions. It’s a nice break from the overly serious debates that exist out in the world of politics and day-to-day life. I usually just chuckle at the choices and go about my day, forgetting about the debate until the results are posted. That is until now....

We’re enjoying Hulu, Netflix and the like on our game systems even more now, as usage is up 7 percent over last year. Nielsen’s infographic also shows some other interesting usage stats....
Every non-Kinect Xbox One game makes the cut Backward compatibility is a big point of emphasis for both Microsoft and Sony heading into the new generation of consoles. Sony came out a few weeks ago and confirmed thatonly 10 games won’t make the transitionfrom PS4 to PS5. That’s a very acceptable percentage. Xbox has similar results, but with more peripheral-induced constraints. Xbox director of program management Jason Ronald has confirmed that every non-Kinect Xbox One game, and every single backward compatible game from the original Xbox and Xbox 360 that doesn’t require Kinect will be playable on Xbox Series S/X:...
Children who believe their parents are nagging them are driven to play more video games, according toMichigan State Universityresearchers. This does not mean that children game more due to actual negative behavior from their parents, just that they perceive it to be negative. While it might not be surprising to find that children use gaming to escape negative situations, this is the first study that links parental behavior to their children playing video games....
