WhileDestiny 2hype this week may be around the newly announcedcrossover betweenDestiny2 andMass Effect, it’s finally time to wish. As of January 30, Riven’s Wishes are available in-game. But some players might wonder how to start and complete these new activities or whether they’re worth doing. It’s safe to say that most, if not all, players will hunger for the rewards from Riven’s Wishes. Each tempts Guardians with a wide selection of coveted weapon patterns and Exotic armor....

Hyper Light Breakersure looks neat, right? Well, that neatness comes at a steep,steepperformance cost, as the game is extremely hard to run. The apparent lack of performance optimization isn’t the only problem, either, as the game doesn’t even have a proper graphics settings menu to begin with. I really do hate to rag on the developer Heart Machine for this, but the fact of the matter is thatHyper Light Breakerhasn’t gotten off on the right foot....

Tower defense on steroids Defense Grid: Containmentcame about from a Kickstarter campaign intended to raise enough money to createDefense Grid 2. Sadly, Hidden Path Entertainment didn’t get the funding needed to create a full sequel to this amazing tower defense game, but the studio did manage to bring in enough to make some new DLC. Containmenthas the same amount of content asYou Monster, but feels bigger to me. The maps are more interesting, the challenges are harder, and it just feels like a bigger addition toDefense Grid....

Will be available on itch.io Indie action platformerSuper Rad Raygunwill be leaving Steam on July 12, 2025. Once gone from Valve’s digital marketplace, it will only be available through itch.io for $5 (though will remain playable for people that purchase it). The reason for this delisting has to do with TRU FUN Entertainment, developer of the game, closing its doors.Super Rad Raygunwas originally co-published by Screwattack Games and RT Games, but the rights were handed back over to TRU FUN last year when the title was put on itch....

Report in Two months agoI pondered if amiibo collectors were still trying to go after everySmashline figure and got a pretty explosive response. I aimed small. Now we’re looking at the whole shebang. Responses for theSmashquestion, withUltimatenow in the equation, were mixed. Multiple people were “only missing a few,” while many gave up asUltimatewas announced. Several were “tapped out,” and hadn’t purchased amiibo since theSamusReturnsgeneration in mid-2017. I’m still in it!...

Studio seeks fan input It’s been terrific seeing Just Add Water carry theOddworldfranchise into the future. With a pair of HD re-releases under its belt and the upcomingAbe’s Oddysee – New ‘n’ Tastycurrently well into production, the England-based studio has put together a poll which asks fans what they’d like to see happen next. Share your opinion, if you’ve got a moment. The company notes that “there’s a lot more than just popular consensus for us to take into account,” so there understandably cannot be any guarantees....

The wait is over Over three years ago, the surreal adventure gameKentucky Route Zerodrifted out into the open road. Its dreamlike portrayal of rural America is something I and many others have been waiting to jump back into for quite some time. Developer Cardboard Computer’s choice to go with an episodic format and long lull between iterations had people even wondering ifAct IV would ever exist. As of a couple hours ago, Act IV is an actual, tangible thing (as tangible as you can be on the Internet) and you can download it right now....

Sup Holmes every Sunday at 4pm EST! [Sup Holmes is a weekly talk show for people that make great videogames. It airs live every Sunday at 4pm EST onYouTube, and can be found in Podcast form onLibsynandiTunes.] A couple of week’s ago on Sup Holmes, we welcomed voice actor/directorStephanie Shehto the program. We talked about how Stephanie’s history of doing “anal timing” on fan-dubbed anime eventually lead her to be a voice actress on shows likeKill La KillandSailor Moon, as well as games from theResident Evilseries,Killer is Dead,the recently releasedTil Morning’s Light, and many more....

I’ll be keeping an eye on this one The premise ofMidBossis a common one (a weak imp wants to be top dog), but the way they actually reach that goal, gameplay-wise, sounds dope. The concept is that you’ll be constantly possessing strong foes throughout the game, as you embark upon a roguelike adventure. Yes it’s randomly generated each playthrough, which might not appeal to a lot of you folks out there, but the posession element mixed with traps and save-deleting potions sound awesome....

From the very onset of its announcement,Destiny 2: Into the Lightfelt just a tad too good to be true. Anew social space, the much-toutedboss rush mode, afan-favourite all-black Shader,awesome guns… With the latest TWID, then, Bungie confirmed that much of this is temporary. More specifically, Bungie has clarified that a fairly substantial portion ofDestiny 2: Into the Lightwill leave the game with the release ofThe Final ShapeDLC early in June. According to what we now know,everythingincluded as part ofInto the Lightwill be effectively sunset on June 4, with only the baseline Brave weapons — not theholo-foil ones, mind — and the Onslaught activity itself sticking around for Year 10....

Give me that free content, baby Nintendo has announced that an update will be coming toFire Emblem Warriorson November 16. Much like its predecessorHyrule Warriors, the update will contain free content available to all owners of the game. All sorts of additions, both big and small, will be included in the update. I’d say it’s more content than what the first major update ofHyrule Warriorscontained. First off, a new history map focusing on the protagonists, Rowan and Lianna, will be included....

Not worth winning if you can’t win big It’s not exactly a leap of faith, butNHL 16has used its magical season simulating video game powers to predict that the Anaheim Ducks will win the 2016 Stanley Cup. By most accounts, Anaheim enters the season as the Western Conference favorite, so you could maybe say that picking them is the predictable prediction. If Anaheim’s going to win, it needs to happen soon....

Available on iTunes for $9.99 Back in July, I shared a preview ofKanto Symphony, a reworking of thePokémon Red / Bluesoundtrack originally composed byJunichi Masuda. This orchestral update, influenced by theZelda Reorchestratedproject, was spearheaded byBraxton “Skotein” Burks, who worked withJoypad Recordsin order to obtain the license needed to sell the finished work. As Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth would say, “Good news, everyone!” Today is the dayKanto Symphonyis released to the world!...
