Things were touch and go for a while there withNinja Gaiden 3andYaiba, but they managed to turn things around with a few co-developed Omega Force Nintendo slashers, as well asNioh: the single release that gave them their reputation back. In part, that was because they held a lengthy demo period where they were open to feedback, and changed many elements of the game for the better....

There’s a new Illidan-centric Warcraft book out this week

‘Illidan’ As a lead-in to the Demonhunter-filledWorld of WarcraftexpansionLegion(set to launch later this year), a new novel has been released simply titled “Illidan.” Illidan is a very complex character who is constantly shifting from “hero” to “villain,” so he’s far more conducive to getting his own book than a lot of others. Having read it a bit, it seems like a great proposition forWarcraftnuts, and there’s plenty of instant lore-drops from Maiev to Zangarmarsh, and it’s kept my interest through multiple chapters....

What was The Lord of the Rings Online team’s riskiest pitch? ‘What if we killed Gandalf?’

‘Stay with me here’ I recently had the opportunityto catch up with Standing Stone Games, the current steward ofThe Lord of the Rings Online, and learned some fascinating things about the trajectory of the game over the years. One of the most interesting topics with any Tolkien-based property is how rights are handled; most creatives are beholden to either the Tolkien Estate directly or with Middle-earth Enterprises (who hold the rights toThe HobbitandLord of the Ringsbooks)....

Anonymous European developer speaks out on the woes of the eShop

Low sales occur more than you’d think The Wii U and 3DS eShops (the latter in particular) are a great source of original games. While disc-based titles are often thrown by the wayside by third-parties on the Wii U, there’s a ton of exclusive content on there that’s worth picking up. Unfortunately, it seems as if the indie scene is starting to suffer a bit, much like it did on WiiWare....

One of the most vocal complaints aboutBorderlands 3was how easy Legendary weapons were to acquire, and Gearbox Software knows that full well and is looking to fix it inBorderlands 4. In my handful of hoursplayingBL4at a preview event in May, I got four Legendaries to drop in a variety of activities, much to the surprise and shock of the Gearbox devs watching me play. Because, in general, the loot chase is designed to be more satisfying and “viable” this time around, even with green and blue weapons equipped....

Brilliantly original puzzle game Tumblestone out now

PC, PS4, and Wii U I first playedTumblestoneat last year’s PAX East and was completely blown away. Ty Taylor’s first game,The Bridge, is one of my favorite puzzle-platformers ever, so I expected good things from this next venture. I said itlast yearand I stand by this statement:Tumblestoneis easily the most intelligent use of “match three” gameplay I’ve encountered. Calling it a match three game definitely sells it short, but it’s also true....
