The Force Awakens, let’s a-go! Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto is in good company: theMarioandZeldacreator did not like George Lucas’ prequel trilogy, but did findStar Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakensto be one of his favorite movies from 2015. Miyamoto toldGame Informer, “There were a lot of good movies last year. One movie that I would have to talk about isStar Wars. It was a movie that I was very worried about. I really enjoyed the original three movies....

Harvest crafting is receiving a pretty significant nerf Last year, one ofPath of Exile‘s three-month-long leagues was titled Harvest, allowing players to grow gardens of seeds to spawn monsters and ultimately use “deterministic crafting” on their items. This meant that if players had some sweet loot that was just missingone special statistic(say, additional life), they could put in the work to get just that. Most players weren’t big fans of the gardening aspect of the league, but just about everyone loved the ability to improve their gear with specific mods....

You should be playingRhythm Tengoku Gold(and yes, I know it’s not out here in its North American incarnation, what I mean is you should have imported it and played the f*ck out of it already), and if you are, you know that the music is not only wonderful but also highly, highly addictive. What great news, then, is word ofRhythm Tengoku Zenkyokushu,the newly announced soundtrack not only forRhythm Tengoku Gold,but also containing the soundtrack to the original GBA game, which is unbearably hard to find on its own....

Today, Harmonix and MTV Games blasted out two press releases aboutRock BandDLC. Two! Why? Because they wanted to let you know that on December 15 (the 17 for PlayStation 3), more Green Day would be coming to the platform. My guess, though, is that it’s probablynotwhat you personally had been waiting for. Green Day Pack 2 ($5.49/440 MS Points for the pack, $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per track) “Christian’s Inferno”“Last of the American Girls” +“Viva La Gloria!...

Hunting downall the trophiesin Insomniac’s latest web-slinging adventure is a fun challenge. And a few — like the ‘Brooklyn Pride’ trophy given by completing ‘A Gift’ — award you a suit to swing around in style while playingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. The Brooklyn Visions questline and the suit itself are both important for Miles. A Gift is the final mission in a series in which Miles helps out his fellow Brooklyn Visions Academy students....

Sequel time! For the originals, here’sCrysisandPortal. I’ve learned my lesson.Crysisjoins the list of franchises I’ll never touch again. That’s not to sayCrysis 2was a bad game. Just a bad all around experience. That aside,Crysis 2really shocked me by turning the franchise around and bringing it closer to all the other, better first person shooters. Giving the player stuff to hide behind and a power suit that can actually do something. Now if Crytek could just compensate me $1,000 for all the broken stuff the “Crysis Curse” brought upon....

Thelatest installmentofStreet Fighter: The Later Yearscontinues right where the cliffhanger ending ofepisode 6left off. Best of all, we finally get to see E. Honda — well, his fat anyway. As the fighters gear up and prepare themselves for the tournament, it’s revealed that fake Ryu (E. Honda) and Blanka are going to goMortal Kombatall over everybody’s ass in the competition. While part 7 isn’t as funny as previous episodes, the storyline is moving along nicely and it’s worth checking out....

When I first saw theWorld 1 bossofSuper Meat Boy, I just assumed that the game would have you to going up against one of Dr. Fetus’s giant machines on a semi-regular basis. That’s how Dr Wily and Dr Robotnik roll, so why would Dr Fetus be any different? I’m delighted to say that I was wrong.Super Meat Boywont be that cliche’, as proven by the giant, cannibalistic, humanoid, adorable dweller you see before you....

Box office round up DC just can’t find something that works. While its live-action films have brought in money they’ve also sucked, and now their animated efforts are sucking and underperforming. The god-awfulTeen Titans Go! to the Moviescouldn’t get anyone to go to the movies as it pulled in a paltry $10.5 million when expectations had it hitting the mid-teens. The animated feature had a small budget of $10 million so it shouldn’t be too damaging, but that can’t make DC happy....
