Hmmm We already knew that a “Worlds Unite” storyline was coming for Archie Comics’Mega ManandSoniclines, but now we have a little more information as to what it entails. As revealed by IGN,Mega Man XandSonic Boomare now in the mix. That’s inadditionto the core cast of the original comics, making it a gigantic four universe collision.

I’m getting a Drew Struzan vibe CD Projekt RED has sent over some pictures of the new steelbook covers forThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and they are gorgeous. There will be six renditions in all, which will be available with the Collector’s Edition of the game. They are done by artist Krzysztof Domaradzki, and I’m loving how it looks like a classic Drew Struzan poster with Domaradzki’s own style. This game looks better every time I see it, and I’m glad CD Projekt delayed it to iron out some of the bugs....

‘Hello, Valve customer support? Hello?’ In an effort to combat smurfing (more on that in a sec), Valve has implemented a new feature forDota 2— if you want to play ranked mode (the be all end all for pros and upcoming pros), you’ll need to give them your phone number to authenticate your account. This change will take place on May 4, so get yourself situated. For years games that are highly predicated on ranked tiers have been trying to figure out ways to combat the act, which very simply involves creating a brand new account in the effort to play outside of the matchmaking ranked imposed on your original account....

Who ate the bones? Xenoblade Chroniclespretty much blew me away back in 2012. Fans had been clamoring for a localization for over two years, and due to an add partnership between Nintendo and GameStop, we got one. It was a rather limited release however and GameStop constantly jacked up the price over time, leading to a large number of fans who never got to experience it. Hell, even today the Wii version goes from anywhere to $60 used to $100 new....
