Promoted from our community blogs [At first I thought I was going to loveSuper Mario Maker. But after a while, I realized that the bad curation of levels really hampers my enjoyment of the game. It’s all about finding good levels from good curators. So do yourself a favor and start with some principles from Fuzunga. ~Strider] I’ve basically been wanting to make video games since as long as I’ve been playing video games....
Up now on PTR The last two characters inHeroes of the Stormhave ended up with rather disappointing when it comes to rankings. After two weeks,Greymaneis the fourth worst hero in terms of win-rate, andLunarais the fifth worst. That’s not to say they aren’t fun (especially Lunara), but in terms of competitive play, they have a little ways to go. Li-Ming on the other hand seems like a knockout — though she likely won’t be taking the mage crown away from Kael’thas, which puts her in an interesting place....
Love this series It’s good to see Banjo finally getting his due.Nuts & Boltswas…okay? I never really resonated with it. All I wanted was to run around and mess stuff up with an adorable bear and bird and the game kept telling me to make vehicles: no! Well, Nintendo is giving him the tender love and care he needs, after being neglected for so long, withSmash Ultimate. Earlier this week at E3 he was revealed to be making an appearance as the third (of five) Fighter’s Pass DLC character later in the fall....
Project Zomboid‘s upcoming Build 42 release is promising nothing short of a complete retrofit of the entire game, more or less, and the developer The Indie Stone is adding more goodness to the mix with every new monthly blog post. This time, we learned more about wilderness generation, for example. Specifically, while it’s clear as day by now thatBuild 42 will run, look, and play better thanProject Zomboidever did before, there’s way more where that came from....

Music licensing to blame Marvelous’ upcoming rhythm gameIA/VT Colorfulisn’t likely to receive a localization. Speaking withSiliconerain a recent interview, producer Kenichiro Takaki, best known for his work on theSenran Kaguraseries, indicated he would “love to bring it over, but there are a lot of difficulties involved in that process.” “Since it’s a music title, and since music is arguably one of the most protected media types artists have, that just means more doors to knock on and more approvals to get....

Thanks to Sims Community, we’ve got our first glimpse of one of them — the Castle Estate Kit! The Sims community are not rookies when it comes to leaks – for almost every Pack or Expansion, there seems to be some kind of leaked information shortly before they’re released....
I don’t like the current market saturation of military shooters. I think they’re mostly brown and boring, while the emphasis on multiplayer leaves me even more disinterested. When I readour previewforSpec Ops: The Line, however, I couldn’t help but grow curious, given the promise of a strong narrative focus and a much more ambiguous presentation of warfare. After all, while I’m not too keen on most modern war games, I do love a lot of war films or literature — there are interesting things to say about the human condition everywhere, but perhaps especially in times of war....
Money Thiefis a slick flash game in which you go around being a jerk. All parties involved are adorable, though, so it’s okay. It was designed forLudum Dare 18; here’s creator zachwlewis’ description: “To compound the matter twofold, your marks become the ultimate weapon of money-getbackery whenever they get thieved! It turns out, the money (root of all evil, et cetera) you’ve stolen is the TRUE enemy, turning those without it into crazy people, hellbent on retrieving what was once theirs!...

The saga continues Last year’s release ofStar Wars Battlefront IIseemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Not even a week after the game was on store shelves, a bunch of politicians were looking into whether or not the loot boxes contained within the game were a form of gambling, something that hasled tomultipleconclusionssince. The newest update in this never ending struggle comes from the Netherlands. The Dutch Gaming Authority looked into 10 different games with loot boxes and declared that at least four of them were in violation of its “Betting and Gaming” act....
