Looks like a lotta alright At this point you could show me anything aboutChild of Light, Ubisoft’s upcoming JRPG-inspired tale that’s built with the same framework that boreRayman OriginsandLegends. I’m sold. Even if this “co-op trailer” doesn’t seem too much beyond the blue light guardian Igniculus restoring Aurora’s health and revealing passages. Ubisoft has made the right decision in parceling off smaller teams to work on titles like this andValiant Heartsin the UbiArt Framework....

After almost two years in the making Cities: Skylineswas released in March of 2015 on PC, but an Xbox One port was supposed to follow at some point. So we waited, and waited, and nothing really came of it. But after a small update in January that it still exists, Paradox Interactive is ready to confirm that it will be released in the spring of this year — so we don’t even have a release date yet, but it’s something....

Tell me how my rotting body will smell Corpse Party: Book of Shadowsis a sequel to last year’sCorpse Party. It’s coming to the PSP this winter by way of the PlayStation Network. You can try to change fate in this point-and-clicker, but messing up sounds like it’ll be just as fun. If you somehow missed the first game, shame on you.It was great. But XSEED forgives you and lets you make up for it with a 50 percent discount on its normal price, taking it down to $9....

‘After releasing Rev 2 it’s clear what we need to improve on’ Daisuke Ishiwatari is a tireless man. If you haven’t seenthe toco toco game creator special on him, watch it immediately…I’ll wait. That mini-documentary was two years ago, but when asked how long he was interested in making games, just yesterday he told me: “until I die.” Ishiwatari has been with Arc System Works for over two decades, and has helped shape the image of the company, produced some of its best games, and assisted in growing Arc’s presence at major fighting game events like EVO....

Having been both bitten and burned byDestiny 2in the past, I’m not one to judge a seasonal content drop based on my first impressions with it. That said, I have to admit that the new Nether activity feels awesome, and most of the community seems to agree. There have been hints and murmurs aboutthe potential quality ofDestiny 2: Malice, granted. I very nearlyfell off theDestinyridemyself a little while back: a decision that was only supported by the fact thatDestiny 2: Revenantwasn’t all that good....

It’s dope I have to admit my perception of Devolver Digital has been somewhat limited. Until just last week, I primarily knew the company for its candy-cane colored logo with the old-west font, its ostentatious E3 presentations featuring Chief Synergy Officer Nina Struthers, and a handful of games that were mostly violent, top-down shooters. I knew it forHotline Miami,Titan Souls, and games of a similar ilk. There’s nothing wrong with those titles — in fact, I adore one of the two I just listed — but it’s clear I had a narrow view of the publisher....
