“GoldenEyeis back. Get your friends.” This. This is why I’m excited forGoldenEyeon the Wii (well, being a massive Bond fan helps too). I’m not sure if I’ll be able to recapture the magic that my friends and I had sitting in our parent’s basements at all hours, killing each other on the same maps over and over again, but I’m going to find out even if I have to pay for the plane ticket so my best friend can fly back from California....
I will be as honest as humanly possible: this episode of HAWP isn’t funny, or action-packed, or even particularly interesting to the average viewer. Ash and I were going to film a wacky, costume-filled recreation of our favorite videogaming moments with our dad, until we realized they aren’t actually that funny to anyone but us In fact, I tell you this only to explain why Ash is wearing a tie and a moustache....
Some of you have been eagerly anticipating the sequel to BioWare’s 2007 action-RPG-shooter-space-exploration-thingMass Effect. Some of you have not. I can empathize with both groups. I quite likedMass Effect, but I enjoyed it in such a way that if anyone told me that theydidn’tlike it, I would immediately understand why. It was a sort-of-good shooter, a sort-of-good RPG, and had a sort-of-good story, but they never really combined to form anything truly mind-blowing....
You may or may not have noticed aTeam Fortress 2update started downloading for you earlier today. That’d be forthis year’s Halloween bash, which entails a few new treats: the Mann Manor map, a randomly dropped gift box, and the Horseless Headless Horsemann. Yep, there’s a character named the Horseless Headless Horsemann, and you can fight him in this new map. Hell, you even get a Steam achievement for slaying him. Those darned exploding pumpkins are back again, so if you missed out on last year’s special Halloween achievements, now is the time to earn them....

Given who’s responsible for bringing usVanquish— Platinum Games, and yes, Shinji Mikami — I shouldn’t be this surprised to find myself desperately wanting to see more of the game. The attached video is our first taste of in-game footage (courtesy ofGameTrailers), and hot damn, it’s looking terrific. While it is fairly short as far as these videos tend to go, we do get a healthy glimpse at two key elements ofVanquish: its monkey-riding-a-dog level of absurd characters, and its sensory overload-inducing action....
Developer TopWare Interactive visited the Dtoid HQ recently to show us some more ofTwo Worlds II. I got to talking about the game’s narrative structure with TopWare’s PR Director, Jake DiGennaro, when he revealed that a thirdTwo Worldscould be a possibility. Jake laid it out pretty clearly that “assuming [Two Worlds II] is successful enough to warrant it,Two Worlds IIIis something we have definitely given thought.” Before you get worried,Two Worlds IIwon’t end with some kind of bullsh*t cliffhanger as the game is being structured “in a way that provides closure on the events of the game, and leaves the door open to an extent for the opening of a third game....
