Tony Hawk HD needed patch too The last four RobomodoTony Hawkgames haven’t gone so swimmingly. Particularly withTony Hawk HDand the recently releasedTony Hawk 5, there have been a bunch of bugs that have been causing issues for players, from offline to online problems. According to Shacknews, Activision is aware of the bugs, and is working with the team to get them fixed. This game needs a ton of polish.

Spells might be your go-to option when defeating your opponents in the indie hitMage Arena, but crafting recipes to produce different items will allow you to outwit them more easily. Crafting inMage Arenaworks in the expected way: you gather raw resources, which can then be put into different recipes to produce more items. Let’s look at all the recipes available in the game’s current build, and how to make them in the first place....
[Update:We’ve got plenty of great submissions thus far, but there’s still time left, people — you got ’til Friday.] Afternoon, underlings. Aaron Linde here — and byhere, I meannot at GDC. That’s right! While the rest of the staff is off committing Class A felonies in the city by the bay, I’m stuck in the Great Northwest, fending off bears with naught but bare fists and a smile. That’s hip Seattleite-speek for “finals”....
Not even God himself could sink this production. We have a couple new episodes ofCouch Campaigntoday as we venture even deeper intoBattleBlock Theater. Our fifth segment, seen above, is actually a replay of an area for which the recording was lost the first time, but we’re not actually any better at playing it this time around. Our second release of the day is my favorite episode yet because there are so many memorable bits, including a moment where we stop playing to marvel at my cat as he performs some scandalous behavior....

Why’d it have to be swamps?! Procedurally-generated dungeons inBloodborne, huh? I didn’t catch thePlayStation Experience demoshowing themuntil now. Not something I would have expected for the game given how good From Software’s hand-crafted worlds can be, but as a single area, I’m interested. Underneath Yharnam, there are multi-level underground ruins called Chalice Dungeons. You’ll need a holy chalice to enter them and their structure changes “every time a portal is opened....
It would require the hush-hush approach With today’s somewhat startling revelation thatJ.J Abrams and Valve intend to collaborate onHalf-LifeandPortalmoviescomes speculation as to how these movies are actually going to work. Specifically, the notion that Abrams may have a difficult time staying true to the source material with regard to the protagonists. While theHalf-Lifeworld will make for a fascinating setting for Hollywood to explore, Valve has made a habit of defining their main characters with one particular inaccessible character trait that wouldn’t lend itself all that well to the big screen....

Out July 26 Its existence kind of blew past me this year, but now you have my attention,Chambara. Billed as an up-to-four-player versus experience, this one seems to bring back that classic feeling of intense dueling from theBushido Bladeseries (rememberthe extra first-person mode?). Players select a kit before the fight starts, then an arena, and duke it out accordingly — there doesn’t seem to be a lot of fluff involved....
23 glorious seconds WhenThe Binding of Isaac: Rebirthcame out last November, I got sucked back into the dark, dank basement full of doo-doo for a good two months. This video ofIsaacon a Wii U GamePad is enough to get me thirsty for more baby tears. I know Nic’sexcited. With a Wii U, 3DS, and Xbox One release coming soon along with the announcedDLC, I’ll probably have a hard time not picking it up again....
Coming soon to PC, PS4, and Xbox One I always love a good clay-based aesthetic, andClaybook, an upcoming physics-centric puzzle-platform game from formerTrialsseries developers, takes full advantage of its malleable look. “Everything acts like it would be made out of real clay,” according to independent studio Second Order. “Every inch of the environment can be shaped and molded. Everything has matter inside it, not just an outer shell. Clay can be deformed, destroyed, melted to fluid and frozen back to solid....
