Boy howdy I’m still a bit bothered that Bethesda waited until the zero hour to give out review copies forDoom— they should have been shouting about how great it was from the rooftops a week in advance. Over time though I think people got the message, and frankly, it’s one of the best shooters I’ve played in the last five years or so. I’ve also taken to the Switch edition — which looks much worse than it does on my PC, but also supports portable play....

Visceral Games could have just gave us another sequel and I would have been over the moon. Really,anythingwould have been fine with me. I would have been pleased with just more Necromorphs and plasma cutters, but they’ve decided to go all-out forDead Space 3, packing in more story, more exploration, freedom and, for the first time, two-player cooperative action. I feel like the survival horror gods are smiling down from videogame heaven upon us....

Evo 2024 has come and gone, with another year of spectacular fighting game competition in the books. Across its eight main games and many,manyside tournaments and exhibitions, there was really no shortage of high-level fightin’ and scrappin’ to watch. With all the streams and excitement, though, it might be easy to overlook some of the news announced over the course of the event. Who wasn’t distracted by Hayao’s3rd Strikerun, after all?...

Spoiler: they suck Fable Legendsis currently in closed beta under NDA, but that hasn’t stoppedthis reddit userfrom disclosing the in-game microtransaction prices. They range from $4.99 minimum all the way up to $59.99, which is simply called a “ton of gold.” What I’mreallyinterested in seeing is context behind these prices, as I’m not willing to get out my pitchfork having not played it. Is it possible to play through the entire game without spending money, and without feeling gated?...

So many games! [Here’s a promoted community blog fromElectronic Super JoycreatorMichael Todd. Thanks Michael!] Wanna make a game? That’s cool!

That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong withMaddenfans or the games themselves, but GameStop’s planned Monday Night Madness is basically the anti-nerdygamer event. If you’re the type that debates on the superiority ofDragon QuestoverFinal Fantasy, regularly imports Dreamcast games, or writes for a gaming Web site (gasp), you’ll want to steer clear of GameStop’s August 13th event. Trust me, you won’t fit in....

As a long time fan of theNinja Gaidenseries, I was a bit skeptical when I learned Team Ninja was looking to reestablish the series. After it’s last showing at TGS left many confused and a bit worried, me included, the developers have taken steps to clear things up and let fans know that the series hasn’t forgotten its roots. While fans may still be worried that the developers have taken the series in a direction that will compromise whatNinja Gaidenis known for I can say that the latest is just as fast, furious, and daring as it’s predecessors after spending some time with the single-player and multiplayer modes, and even trying out the hard mode setting....

Persona 4was a victory for RPG fans in a variety of ways — innovative gameplay and setting, engaging story, vivid character depictions and best of all, fun to play. You’d easily think that it sold quite well, but with the presentation of some new numbers from Atlus, we see that it did in fact fall short of what it should have.
