A Sacred 3 developer apologizes for the game

It is currently sitting at zero positive reviews on Steam Sacred 3wasn’t a very well received game; I felt it was an average and uninspired hack-‘n’-slash game with some terrible attempts at humor. Comments on my review either sided on “hey, it’s not too bad in co-op,” to “this is a stain on the franchise.” Well, at least one of the staff onSacred 3agrees with the latter sentiment and has written an apology on the Steam community page....

Caravan Stories could be your next chill free-to-play RPG on PS4

I’m just here for the walking fortresses I don’t always need the latest and greatest in video games. Sometimes good enough is, well, good enough. That’s my first-glance, subject-to-change read onCaravan Stories, a free-to-play MMORPG about the usual concepts: quelling darkness, assembling a cast of characters and creatures alike, and–what’s this?–a customizable magical fortress that acts as your roaming base of operations. Neat. Caravan Storieshas seen success in Japan with some two million players, and soon enough it’ll be available over here in the West....

Classic Tetris World Championships to air Sunday

Boom Tetris for Anthony! I’ve always loved watchingTetrismatches becauseTetrisis one of the only games I can arguably defend as perfect. So, when you have an arguably perfect game, it’s always amazing to see the best players in the world put their skills to the test. Thankfully the Classic Tetris World Championships scratch that itch for me every year and after almost a full day of qualifying rounds on Saturday, 32 players have emerged from the scrum to test their might at becomingTetrisworld champion....

Darksiders looks ridiculously awesome

Just look at this video. He is throwing cars at demons. Throwingcarsatdemons. This is one of those dev diaries (read: mental masturbation exercises) showing off a new PS3/360 action game,Darksiders: Wrath of War. All I can say is that it looks like something I really, really want.I can’t get enough overly macho action games, and this looks like it could be one of the more notable entries in the genre. The concept is terrific, the designs are fantastic and the gameplay looks like it could be a lot of fun indeed....

ELEX is odd and janky, but totally open

Do whatever you want Breath of the Wildhas given me a whole new appreciation for open-world games. I love the amount of freedom you have in tackling the quest (or not bothering with it) and the order in which you can tackle it. While games likeGrand Theft Autoand the more recentElder Scrollsgames give you snippets of that, they tend to hold your hand throughout their main questlines, which inevitably makes the player want to rebel against the set path....

The abovevideo, captured and narrated by the hilarious guys atVinesauce, shows off some eerie glitches discovered in the Nintendo 64 educational title.

Every 2D Metroid Game, Ranked

I suspect that there’s a pretty sizable chunk of people who would gladly call Metroidvania their favorite video game genre, but who have never played aMetroidgame. That’s a problem. Sometimes, when a classic istooclassical, it can become a bit of a headache. Revisiting a really beloved game can become a chore when you’ve seen its best ideas executed better by games that came later. Not so withMetroid. Nearly every 2DMetroidgame is still a great time, even when placed next to the wave of wonderful indie Metroidvanias we’ve seen recently....
