Link’s Biggest Fan There’s plenty of ways to get around inTears of the Kingdom.None are more efficient than the Hoverbike, though. The Zonai Devices Link finds around Hyrule can be built into many contraptions, and while a plane with the Zonai Wing can be useful, its limited use can send you crashing down at the most inopportune times. This means you’ll need to get a little creative with your flying machines, crafting a device that can be used indefinitely....

Baldur’s Gate 3is a massive game that will take you dozens of hours to explore. Fortunately, your character won’t be going on their adventure alone, and they’ll be joined by quite a few possible companions.

For help with figuring out the best party composition inBaldur’s Gate 3, read this guide....

Borderlands 4is made by several veterans of the series at Gearbox Software, and I sat down with one of them at a recent gameplay event where I went hands-on with the upcoming looter shooter. Anthony Nicholson, the senior project producer onBL4, has been with the company since 2012, most recently working as the head of DLC production onBorderlands 3. We spoke for around 15 minutes about the future launch, but there was one common thread throughout: what players want matters a lot to the developers....

“We have never made any comments of this nature” For roughly the past week,Street Fighterfans were met with mass confusion as to whether or not Fei Long would return to the series. But it seems as if this saga has come to an end. The whole affair began when Daniel Lindholm, a composer for theStreet Fighterseries, made a comment that Fei Long would never return to the franchise on a YouTube Q&A session (which is now defunct/taken down, butwas logged by several outlets)....

One of the things I love about this game the most is the fact that there so many combinations and setups you can come up with. This is in large part due to the MMO nature of the game, but I’d still say it’s because the classes are so brilliantly designed. Still, some are better than others, while even the worst ones have their purpose. To untangle this web, I prepped aGuts and Blackpowderclasses and weapons tier list....

According to this art leak The past week has brought aboutspeculationthat From Software would follow up this year’sBloodbornewith a third installment in theDark Soulsseries. There were even somemighty convincing screenshotsthat helped fuel the rumor mill. Now, we have some official art that seems as if it puts the uncertainty to rest. In the days leading up to E3,IGNobtained the image below which clearly confirms the game’s existence. Further, it pins down a launch window of “early 2016,” which is obviously subject to change....

I went to a meeting earlier in the day to see a game that was billed “a mystery game from Sony.” The only other information I knew about it was that it was announced at theSony press conference yesterday. I was hoping and praying the game wasSly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Lucky for me, it was! GLORIOUS! The game wasn’t playable, but the folks at Sanzaru Games (the new developers) showed off a nice level and boss battle for us to enjoy....

Nobody has yet made what you would consider a “core” game for Kinect, and while we’re still in the very early stages of the peripheral’s life, you might wonder if it’s even doable (for certain genres, at least). In the case ofFight Night Champion, EA Sports’ upcoming simulation boxing title, EA Canada gameplay producer Brian Hayes explained last August that the studiowould not be shoehorning motion controlsinto the game, since “standing on your feet for three minutes and throwing punches is something that, believe it or not, might be beyond the fitness level of most gamers!...

Indie dev Twitter rage! Fun, fun, fun! Indie game developers are certainly an outspoken lot, aren’t they? Phil Fish, creator of the dimension-flipping XBLA platformerFEZ, finally decided to hop on theMonster Huntertrain starting withUltimatefor 3DS. He thinks the game itself is fine, but he’s having difficulty playing without a second stick. So he did what anybody else would do and took toTwitterto vent. “started playing my first monster hunter game last night....

Do you want to finish her off? This was a treat to find this morning. It’s the latest installment of “8-Bit Cinema”, a series fromYouTube Channel Cinefixwhich presents how films might have been represented in classic games, and they’ve castFight Clubin the role of a beat-em-ups likeStreets of RageorFinal Fight. The bonus rounds cracked me up more than anything, particularly the penguin “slide” stage and collecting fat from dumpsters, but make sure you stick around through the end for a really fun rendition of The Pixies’ “Where is My Mind?...
