Cadence of Hyrule, Sonic Mania artist puts the term ‘indie’ into question

Vlambeer, Nintendo, and Sega collaborator makes a point Authenticity means a lot to people, and it comes across in the way we talk about video games. Terms like “art game” or a “hardcore game” or an “indie game” all work to stick a flag in a game that says “This isn’t for everybody,” which is just one of the ways someone may attempt to mark a game as quantifiably genuine. In time, the first two terms have become less commonplace, their definitions muddled by years of manipulative misuse....

E3: Lara Croft endures in this Tomb Raider trailer

If there’s one word to describe Lara Croft in Crystal Dynamics’ upcoming reboot ofTomb Raider, it’s “resilient.” Just look at how much punishment she takes in this trailer, whether from thugs or Mother Nature. At least she gets to return the favor in a few instances, using a bow and arrow — which officially seems to bea thingat E3 2012 — to take down bad guys and deer. Archery is a useful skill!...

E3: ZombiU multiplayer makes you lord of the dead

The general premise is that one player (in this case, my homeboy Pungi rocking the Wii U Pro Controller) plays as a human attempting to capture various flags around the map. The other player (me) gets the Wii U GamePad, and is tasked to lay zombies out around the map....

And given that it’s still relevant yet again following themostly fine responseto the alrightAfterlifefilm, it’s probably time for anotherGhostbustersgame. Ernie Hudson thinks so too....
