A modern urban beat ’em up RPG Shawn Alexander Allen (formerly of Rockstar Games) is the creator ofTreachery in Beatdown City—a game that draws from Shawn’s real life experiences as a child of New York City, his love of classic Beat ’em ups, and of biting parody. Whiletalking to Shawn about his game on Sup Holmes a few months ago, I couldn’t help but think ofEarthbound. Both games are turn based RPGs about exploring a big, funny, threatening version of America....

Update 5.2 is not going over well with the community Everyone has their preferences when it comes to what makes a greatBattlefieldmap, but I think we can all come together to agree on one conclusion: Wake Island slaps. It’s an all-time great. Iconic, even! After months of meandering,Battlefield Vis adding Wake Island on Jul 18, 2025. Today’s trailer explains what’s different with this interpretation of the map and ends on a tease for a new jungle locale....

Also known as Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate I had to do a triple-take on this one. Internationally, the game is known asWarriors Orochi 3, but in Japan, it’s calledMusou Orochi 2 Ultimate. Whatever the case may be, the game has a brand new trailer showing of its Vita features, as said portable port is launching in Japan today. In case you were wondering, this is the game that features Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, Rachel, Momiji, Kasumi, and Sophitia....

This brand new, level 10 character is confined to the continent of Pandaria through the event.

It runs from today through May 17 at 10AM PT A few years back a little old game calledAegis Defenderswas released on PC, PS4 and Switch. Best described as a 2D platformer with tower defense elements, the game also has a distinct anime feel to it, with clear aesthetic inspirations from Studio Ghibli. I really enjoyed it at the time (especially with a co-op partner), and now pretty much everyone can enjoy it with me....

There’s no denying that Sony isn’t at the top of the gaming mountain anymore, after crushing the competition with the PS2. 2011 especially had Sony encounter more than itsfair share of problems, but analystDavid Cole thinks its ultimate hurdle lies with the PlayStation brand itself. “The PS3 is an incredibly robust system with a great content library. Unfortunately for Sony, not all consumers seem to have gotten the word,” said Cole....

Cutting the Cheese British animation studio Aardman Animation – renown for itsWallace & Gromitstop-motion features – has entered into a new agreement with publisher Bandai Namco to collaborate on a brand new IP. While both companies remain tight-lipped on the project, the new IP will exist in multiple media formats, with Bandai Namco no doubt handling the video game iteration of the brand. Aardman Animation will begin work on the project early in 2021, with more details to be revealed at a later date....

InBioShock Infiniteplayers are presented with a world, or rather a floating city, in conflict. Both ideological and physical. The conflict is between the dominant right-wing nationalists, the Founders, and a coalition of populist groups who feel disenfranchised, the Vox Populi. On the surface it’s not completely dissimilar to what’s happening in the US with the rise of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. Ken Levinespoke with The Washington Postto discuss how real life is reflected in video games....

TheBlacklightdevelopment team is back with another video to follow theirdev diary video series. Before, they just showed off their own excitement, and talked about the technology and art behind the game. This time, they talk about my personal favorite improvement to the game: customization. It’s something I talked about a little bit inmy previewof the first phase of the closed beta. The customization is really all that and a bag of chips....

Two Bond posts in a row!? Damn straight. These games are coming soon and I’m going to tell you about them (it also gives me another chance to randomly link toFlixist). One of the great things EA did with the franchise is progressively move the game out of first person and into third. While Activision has taken the series back into first person they seem to be learning the lesson that Bond isn’t just shooting; he also drives really fast cars....

Puke and rally, folks Do horrible things to your liver in today’s contest to win a PC copy ofAfterparty! Oh, that pesky Satan. He’s always doing stuff that’s kinda evil, but also kinda tricky. It’s like the scales are tipped against you when dealing with him. Quite frankly, I think it’s rude. Stop that, Satan. Give the Devil his due inAfterparty, where you challenge that big red idiot to a drinking contest to win your freedom from Hell....

It’s warhammer time In today’s contest you may winWarhammer 40,000: Mechanicusfor Switch, PS4, or Xbox One! If you’ve been reading my work for a while (sorry about that), you know I’m woefully inept at strategy titles. Hell, I’m bad at strategizing pretty much all around. My planning ahead usually consists of forgetting about the event until the last minute, winging it, and hoping for the best. So, I’m out of my element here!...

After playing the game a bit more, we updated the Tier List and changed the Tier of some units. Anime Sagais out, and it’s time to take our favorite anime heroes for a spin through the same dungeons over and over again. Of course, while going through dungeons is fun and all, it can get pretty grindy and difficult without the right Units, which is exactly why we wrote this guide....
