There’s lots of stabbing in this War of the Roses trailer

Paradox just released a new trailer forWar of the Rosesfor E3 that shows off some gruesome gameplay, including a little of each different type of combat that will be available to players. There will be swords, bows and arrows, big axes, small axes, and pretty much anything else you want to stab or smash someone in the face with. With an ex-developer from theBattlefieldseries leading the dev team, this should be a pretty decent game....

Those Zelda 2025 leaks are probably just Age of Imprisonment, right?

I woke up this morning to the strangest “leak” news I’ve heard in a while, with reports of a secret Nintendo event hosting mock-ups of Switch 2 presentations and a reported Zelda 2025 placeholder on so many pictures. These pictures and videos have, of course, been taken down by Nintendo Ninjas overnight. But that hasn’t stopped many content creators and publications talking about them (I guess now I’m included in that) spewing rumors of an unannouncedZeldagame coming this year that Nintendo is ‘going to show off at Summer Game Fest’ among other clickbait titles....

Watch this kick-ass minigames trailer for The Bigs 2

We here at Destructoid HQ have just about been inundated by the never-ending torrent ofBigs 2media from 2K Sports — but hey, at least it’s not just screenshots this time! The video after the jump shows off a smattering of gameplay from the various minigames thatThe Bigs 2offers, as well as the beloved Home Run Derby mode. I’m not quite sure how some of them relate to baseball — I noticed some Mets players on what appears to be abalance beam, and then there’s a shot of two Cubs players riding on a zip-line....

XCOM: Try not to get everyone killed

In the originalX-COMtitles, the loss of a squad member would always cut me up. Those wee, heavily armed men and women were under my care, and I’d be damned if I was going to let some alien scum end their lives. I’m glad to see there’s an emphasis on this in the upcomingXCOM: Enemy Unknown. The only way to ensure their survival is to recruit the best, train them, pile on the upgrades, and not tell them to run right up to the big aliens and call them lame....

XSEED named a cow after Hideki Kamiya

The Joy of Localization The original title of this article was “XSEED named a cow Swag Lady,” which is also true. There are several cows inReturn to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale, a cute and leisurely little RPG, if my brief time with the Nintendo 3DS exclusive this week is any indication. XSEED localization specialist Tom Lipschultz certainly has a better feel for the game and franchise in general, coming to the studio’s fall showcase with a copy of the original 1985 manga in tow....
