Was it good for you, too? TheDestinybeta was extinguished late last night, leaving us with six long weeks to carry a torch for the shooter until Bungie rekindles the affair this September. “Your mission in theDestinybeta is complete,” Bungie tweeted yesterday evening shortly aftersnuffing outthe beta servers. “Your next adventure begins on September 9th, with the official launch ofDestiny.” “Bungie thanks you for playing. We made some great discoveries of our own, and we’ll use them to makeDestinya great game for all....

I was going to say that it’s a shame thatThe House of the Dead: Overkillis trying to promote itself as gamers gear up for the release of Valve’sLeft 4 Dead, but the spoof grindhouse marketing for Sega’s Wii shooter has been so excellent that it’s managed to remain memorable regardless. This latest trailer, talking about a hospital, is full of corny one-liners and the kind of awesomely awful material we’ve come to expect from this game....

Who wants an electric punch? Please gather around Dean Like the WWE, Capcom has been around long enough to have history that spans several distinct eras. They may be in the “all our old fans hate us but we still put out some good games sometimes” era now, but in the ’90s, they were deep into the “Street Fighter IImade us more money than God so let’s keep making games that focus on fun and bold art and design” era....

Here’s a quick teaser Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is just a month away at this point and although I’ve been avoiding the chance to take in every gameplay video I am okay with digesting this 30-second clip. It gives us a quick look at Lady Butterfly, a boss shown off behind closed doors only recently. While the clip itself is short and doesn’t spoil the actual battle (outside of her opening salvo), the music is really where the focus should be....

Cross-play was already a thing Last year, Sony started to relax its cross-play initiative, seemingly fueled by a meaningless marketing term: “PlayStation is the best place to play.” As it turns out PlayStation is a fine place to play, but it would be even greater if you can play with more people: like the PC, Switch and Xbox One platforms already allowed. Fortnitekicked off that full, actual cross-play trend, and many other games have since followed suit....

Alexa, get me Yakuza. All of them. Smart speakers can do a lot: control your music, maintain a grocery list, and wake you up in the morning. Now, you’re able to also tell them to start downloading someHaloto your Xbox. Today, Amazon and Microsoft announced a new Alexa skill that will allow the smart speaker to download Xbox Game Pass games to connected Xbox consoles. It doesn’t require any special invocations either—according to a press release, you’re able to just ask Alexa to initiate the download by saying “Alexa, download (whatever game) from Xbox Game Pass” and then link their accounts through the Alexa app....

Game licensing ‘freeze’ set to continue in 2022 The past two years have seen China’s government impose stricter and stricter sanctions on the game development market. Now, it seems, the pinch is beingseverelyfelt. According to business registry company Tianyancha, over 14,000 Chinese game developers, publishers, distributors, and marketers decided to shut down operations since the summer of 2021.

Apple requires that every single title available on Project xCloud be submitted and reviewed individually. The Project xCloud app, which serves as a gateway to launch more than 100 games, is in violation of that....
