July 31 Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbowas an absolute classic and I’ve spent hundreds of hours with its various incarnations since 1996. Although it’s not the optimal version of the game I was always fond of the 2003 Game Boy Advance port, which allowed a friend and I to clash on the go with a link cable far before the mobile editions of the game saw the light of day. Well, the newer mobile editions never really saw much “day,” so that’s kind of a moot point....

And ‘Easy’ mode should now be more in line with its name Battlezoneisn’t making the same waves that other PlayStation VR games likeJob Simulator,Thumper, andRez Infiniteare, but I keep coming back to it and staying up way,waytoo late trying to best its challenging procedurally-generated campaign. The co-op, too, has been a rare treat. There’s such a small player base that friendly, helpful groups are the norm in public matches, not the exception....

One arm, zero problems Never thought I’d be excited about a Vita release in 2016, butSevered, the latest title from the developers ofGuacamelee!is just about the coolest thing I’ve seen in months.Described as a mixofMega Man,Infinity Blade, andPunch-Out!,Severedis an open-world adventure game that has you slicing and dicing your way through enemies using the Vita’s touchscreen. Unlike inMega Manwhere beating a boss grants you acopyof their weapon, inSevered, you chop their shit right off and graft it to the bloody stump where your other arm should be....

Two gun-toting maniacs Have you seenSuicide Squadyet? I sure as hell haven’t. AfterBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I decided to wait on any future DC movies until I can find at least five people whose opinion I trust to tell me it’s worth my time. Of all my friends and associates who have seen it, I can’t find a single one who thinks I should go. That sucks because I love Harley Quinn....

The shifting sands of Arrakis are home to the most precious substance in the universe: spice. As the leader of one of the Great Houses inDune Imperium: The Board Game, you’ll need to conquer the desert planet, win skirmishes, and expand your influence with factions like the Bene Gesserit and the Fremen if you hope to claim victory. In this article, we’ll be looking at the different editions and expansions of the game and answering some of the most common questions about this modern tabletop classic....

‘I’m finished with the riddles, the mind-games… I’m done.’ “Lost the plot and for what?” sang Ed Harcourt on “Here Be Monsters,” one ofSilent Hill: Downpour’s licensed tracks; a question easily applied to the acerbic state of the series in 2012. Looking back, Downpourwas highly reflective of itself, the hamstrung product of a disinterested Konami. At its core,Downpourwas about two sides stuck in vicious circle. One was resigned and despondent, the other frustrated and full of blame....

CD Projekt RED’s open-world expedition,The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is easily at the top of my most anticipated games of 2014 list (sorryTitan Fall) and the latest trailer shown off during last night’s VGX show only has me even more hyped. If that is indeed possible Not too much is spoiled in the video, but the snippets of open-world horseback riding, the beautiful environments (such a splendid windmill), and the glimpses of heavenly animated combat are enough to begin salivating for one of the first of this new current generations RPGs....

An Amazon Spain listing tells all Although some people argue that the past should stay in the past, remasters and remakes are a special form of game preservation, and particularly important for underrated gems and overlooked games.XIIIis considered a classic by many, but passed a lot of folks by. That’ll change in November. According to a listing from Amazon Spain, the game is due out this November. This isn’t just some random retailer placeholder listing either....

Pump up the Bass Tater-Tot Tunes has low key been putting out some great 8-bit game music remixes since 2007, and their most recent piece: Block Man’s stage fromMega Man 11, caught my attention. Originally composed by Marika Suzuki (sound designer at Capcom) it also sings in 8-bit, a realization that has me even more excited to hear the rest of the soundtrack proper. If you’re curiousMega Man 11has a demo out right now featuring none other than Block Man’s stage, so you can do the whole comparison thing yourself....

AlsoRival TurfandPinball TheSNES Nintendo Switch Onlineofferings just got a little more lively this week, as Nintendo just did a customary late-night content drop that involves three more retro games (two SNES, one NES). There are no Expansion Pack offerings (Genesis/N64) this week. Following a maintenance announcement that most certainly tipped folks off that more games would be coming, Nintendo unleashed three new games into the mix: Pinballwill likely trigger some nostalgia, but it’s been far surpassed in the arena — despite being one of the first home console pinball games in 1984 (just five years later we’d getPinball Quest)....

Dunked-on Jones I have my own personal plight about Duncan Jones, who made the lovelyMoon, toiling away for years on a tent-pole blockbuster based on a video game, but it looks likeWarcraftfans aren’t going to get any benefit from it either. Warcraftisn’t out in the US until June 10, but there are a smattering of reviews live, none of them all that positive. RottenTomatoes counts eights reviews — three positive, five negative — with a4....
