And it’s only $4.99! MachinariumandBotaniculacreator Amanita Designhas broughtits most recent puzzle adventure, the delightfulSamorost 3, to iPhone and iPad. The game’s alien landscapes are just something else! Our own Ben Davisreviewed the PC versionearlier this year, noting “Samorost 3is a relatively short journey, taking about five to six hours to beat and a little more to fully complete. That time is jam-packed with delightful characters, stunning scenery, and clever puzzles, so while it may be brief, it’s certainly time well spent....

When your B team becomes the A team DC can’t get its ass out of its head (yes, I said that backwards, because that’s how backwards they are) with its movies, but on the TV side of things the “Arrowverse” has been solid as a whole. By taking some of the smaller DC characters, “CW’ing” them just a bit, and delivering solid, season-long stories that get way darker than you expect, they’ve delivered year in and year out....

It’s your typicalCall of Dutytrailer, with tons of cool looking set pieces and explosions all shown off.

That girl is Poiiiisoooon, and that girl is Elena…and that guy is Rolento WithUltra Street Fighter IVhaving been floating around in the wild in Japanese arcades for some time, there’s plenty of new footage on the intertubes tooohandahhover. New characters mean a heap of new goodies, and you can check out footage viaShoryukenof endings withElena,Poison, andRolento. Hope you like low-quality YouTube videos! Going by these endings alone, Poison’s is definitely my favorite, but the animation is so wonky it kind of ruins the scenes....

Switch is coming later this year I’m always looking for the next title to scratch my cozy game addiction, and it looks like the management simBear and Breakfastis the newest release to make that list. While I first heard about the game during the Summer Game Fest stream this year with the gameplay trailer, it was initially announced back in 2020. Players take on the role of a bear named Hank who builds and runs his own bed and breakfast in the woods, and will encounter all kinds of human and animal friends along the way....

A ‘war of attrition’ will ensue, hopes Molyneux I had long since deletedCuriosityfrom my iPhone after spending admittedly far too much time (see: more than five minutes) tinkering with the cooperative game about chipping away layers of a massive cube. But now, here I am, redownloading the thing after seeing on Eurogamer that some absurd new microtransactions have been added. What’s in the cube, Peter Molyneux? We may know soon, or we may never know — that’s the “joy” of these in-app purchases....

He’s also going to finish the comic Joe Madureira first hit it big drawingX-MenandSpider-Manfor Marvel comics in the ’90s. He quickly became one of the most influential artists in the field, thanks to a style that melded lessons learned from other American comics artists like Arthur Adams and John Byrne with the work of Japanese Capcom artists like Akiman and Bengus. In fact, Akiman and Bengus are the names of two minor characters from the ill-fatedBattle Chaserscomic book, Madureira’s self published series for Image comics, which came to an abrupt halt over ten years ago....

My first thought when I heard about Com2uS’ iPhone titleTrapped: Undead Infectionwas an odd one. Is it possible to be afraid of something in my phone? It’s a question I’ve never had the pleasure of asking myself. I suppose I should take solace in the fact that I haven’t experienced a mechanical demonic possession. With great trepidation, I downloaded the horror title. I’m that dude that bounces in his seat whenever a dog bursts on-screen from left field....

Arkane Studios’ first-person supernatural assassin gameDishonoredhas a solid date now: May 27, 2025 in North America, and October 12 in Europe. It will launch on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Our first preview ofDishonoredmade it sound pretty hot with its open-ended killing and steampunk-ish world. I don’t know about you, but this game is officially on my radar. Bethesda is promising a hands-on build of the game at E3 next month, so look forward to even more impressions soon....
