It’s hard to follow thatlast set of free Sega games(have any of you dug intoBinary Domainyet?), but the final group of Make War Not Love 3 titles has at least one great thing going for it:Gunstar Heroes. Treasure’s classic run-and-gun game is joined by the rather decentRenegade OpsandViking: Battle for Asgard. you may claim all threeon this pageby scrolling down and clicking “redeem prize” and submitting your email address. Sega is overloaded with requests at the moment, so you are unlikely to get your code this weekend....

No one is more relieved to see that the remake ofSilent Hill 2has been nothing short of a major triumph. Well, I suppose developer Bloober Team could be classed as being somewhat more reassured, especially now the game has sold an impressive amount already. Maybe it’s not too surprising, but it certainly vindicates any doubts people may have had prior to launch to see thatSilent Hill 2has sold more than a million copies worldwide....

Fisting powers activate! Well, looks like I’ll be playingSuper Time Forceall over again when it hits Steam. Why? Well aside from the new challenge levels and alternate-dimension powers, there’s three new playable characters. Two of which are fromTeam Fortress 2. Well from the looks of it at least. One is the Pyro, and the other is the manly Saxton Hale fisting his enemies to death.

Don’t @ me Little Sibling Syndrome took over big time as I visited Sega’s San Francisco office last week. I was there to seeSonic Mania, an upcoming throwback to the hedgehog’s glory days. In an attempt to lead the demo, a Sega representative played as Sonic and I played as Tails. God, that was the worst. We were moving through Green Hill Zone: Act 2, a level ofSonic Maniathat had not been shown off yet....

The neighborhood’s not always friendly Early into the one-minute gameplay launch trailer forSpider-Man, a costume-clad Peter Parker urges a local youth to “leave the fighting to the pros.” Most of the rest of the 60 seconds are spent with Spider-Man clashing against the likes of a man dressed as a rhinoceros and a man dressed as a scorpion. The pros sure are quirky. Action is what we’re here for though, and this trailer does not disappoint....

How is that game nearly 8GB As you may have heard, the developers forNBA Playgroundsare having a hell of a time pushing an update to the Switch edition of the game. The reason cited is space issues and patch limitations from Nintendo, but this sort of leaves out the fact that the game is 7.4GB. Yes, an arcade basketball game that has technical issues is roughly seven and a half gigs....

Monsters in your pocket While not an officialStar Warsproduct, special effects legend Phil Tippett’s (A New Hope, RoboCop, Jurassic Park, The Force Awakens) upcoming AR/VR card-and-video gameHoloGrid: Monster Battlewill definitely resonate with a lot ofStar Warsfans. Since the Holochess concept seen inA New HopeandThe Force Awakenswas in-part Tippett’s creation, I think it’s more than fair for him to take the concept on the road at this point, more than 40 years after its initial inception....

EA’s Assassin’s Creed-killer won’t be out until 2020 Nested in the same Electronic Arts financials that brought us yesterday’s news aboutNeed for Speed,Titanfall 2, anotherStar Wars Battlefront, et al, is a vague note about a new IP for 2017 and a vague update on what could be EA’s attemptedAssassin’s Creed-competitor. Assassin’s Creed‘s Jade Raymond recently left Ubisoft to take over EA’s Montreal-based Motive, a new studio specifically formed becauseEA doesn’t have any “Assassin’s Creed-style games....

I motion to stop with the puns You know what’s hard? Or at least terribly tedious? Stop motion animation. That didn’t stop YouTuber Guiz de Pessemier, however, when hisDonkey KongNES cartridge refused to work — even after he blew on it, no less. No, he wouldn’tbea-defeated. Wouldn’t bebeadt. de Pessemier, with the help of his friends, recreatedDonkey Kongin stop motion with enough beads to support a year’s worth of slumber parties....

But I’m mostly here for the art What’s the best video game of 2019 that you suck at? I bet you have an answer ready to go. That’s one of the questions at the center of theSteam Awards, an annual community-centric ceremony meant to highlight the best and brightest PC games of the year. For 2019, Steam has eight categories: Once you’re logged into your Steam account, you’ll be able to nominate games that released after Jun 23, 2025....

Check out everything Destructoid did today To be honest, I dodged the bullet of Steam sales today. I tried to buyBastionbut found out that I already own it. Nothing else was jumping out at me, even with those trading cards. Why do I even want those things? On Destructoid, the Podtoid crew talked about unappetizing food, Casey previewedPikmin 3andSplinter Cell: Blacklist, Chris reviewedDeus Ex: the Fall, and more happened on this fine day....

Open-world sandbox zombie survivalism I’m pretty sure that everyone who plays games has an idea of their perfect zombie game. Mine has always been about fortifying an area and living in terror of the undead. Fortunately Geoff Keene and his team from Sandswept Studios are there to fulfill my fantasies. The Dead Linger is an open-world sandbox game in which every object can be manipulated. This means that when you pick up boards you may nail them over windows, construct shelves, or build a treehouse....

Brandon Sanderson’sCosmereseries is one of the most expansive the author has produced, encompassing a collection of books that can be enjoyed in pretty much any way you want. Some authors prefer to create a universe likeThe Cosmerethat spans dozens of books, and must be read in a specific order. Brandon Sanderson moves away from this somewhat, because his series can be read in multiple orders, and the best one, according to fans, isn’t the order in which they were released....
