It’s coming for us all It’s no secret that superhero movies have dominated the box office for over a decade now. It’s also not a secret that a lot of people out there, myself included, have suffered from superhero movie burnout. Things have been winding down in the MCU afterEndgame, and DC never really got much of a start to begin with. Now, it seems like Hollywood is running out of comic book material to mine, so they’re moving on to another action-oriented market they haven’t fully tapped into yet: the video game movie....

Good Blizzard did a great job with its streaming game hub, allowing players to jump into titles while they were downloading. Every feature may not be available and it might not look the best, but during particularly slow download sessions it was nice to not wait hours on end to actually get in and play the game you paid for. ArenaNet is following suit soon with the beta version of their streaming client forGuild Wars 2, set to arrive in the near future in North America and Europe....

An unlikely pairing It’s the engineers versus the artists inHazel Sky, the left-brainers against the right-brainers. But, the engineers are described as “honored,” while the artists are called “reviled.” This is a society that’s very much governed by science. Hazel Skytells the story of Shane, a junior engineer on the flying City of Gideon who has to prove himself worthy of being a man of the machines. The process is more grueling than some written exams....

It’s here. Well, almost. It’s beenquite a ride, butThe Day Beforelaunches today into PC Early Access. Today is the day forThe Day Before. If you want more specifics, then publisher Mytona and developer Fntastic have given us a handy chart to show when people can start delving into the post-apocalyptic MMO. As you may be able to tell from this chart, it’s dropping very soon. In fact, given the time I’m currently putting this article up, it might have already been released....

Throw jank!? As a little Christmas gift to for people who watch anime in the west,High Score Girlmade its long awaited release on Netflix. Of course, it had been out for quite a while already in Japan. This was just the official release for the West. It feels like I had been hearing people talk about this series about arcades and gaming forever in the early part of 2018. It’s a no brainer to recommendHigh Score Girlto any Dtoider because the pulls feel like genuine pulls from someone’s memories of their time in arcades some 30 years ago....

Bent Sword +1 The amiibo news network, collectively, has been pretty quiet for the past year. We get the occasional big figure push that predictably sells out quickly (Solaire), and the past two E3s have given us a handful of announcements, but it’s been a much more low key atmosphere as a whole. Wave 4’s bungled launch and the over-saturation ofAnimal Crossingamiibo helped cool the craze. If you haven’t been following prices for various figures, the standardSmashLink amiibo shot up drastically to double its MSRP (up to $30) in late 2017, and has since become more in demand than it’s ever been (Zeldaamiibo on the whole are fetching insane prices right now, like $60+ for theSkyward SwordandTwilight Princessvariations)....

Cross… Sega loves its crossovers. Perhaps the biggest of them all is their contribution to not one but two Project X Zone games, and you can’t forget Sonic’s surprise appearance inSmash Bros. There might be another one in the works too, as the publisher just put up a “Sega x ????” crossover teaser on their official site. I’m not even going to try to guess on this one outside of the fact that it’s cross (x)something, but the four question marks could be a clue-in, as well the obvious silhouettes....

Scheduled to launch March 6 Turret defense titleInfested Planethas been available on Steam in early access for quite some time now, but it’s nearing the conclusion of its development. To acknowledge this, the above trailer has been released to show key features and an overwhelming quantity of swarming alien beasts. It’s been a while since I’ve played a game in the genre, a fact this video reminded me of. I dig the scale, with five men to position against a hundred thousand invaders....

Grandma Sniper Wolf reporting for duty It has been exactly a week sinceBlizzard revealedOverwatch‘s newest hero: Ana, the sniper who shoots people in the goddamn face to heal them. For some reason, I figured that meant we had a month ’til she’d be playable, but she just went live for anyone playing the PC version.Previously announced changesare also coming, including faster overtime and a one-hero limit in Competitive matches. I haven’t had muchOverwatchtime lately due to stupid real-life job shit getting in the way, but I’m definitely jumping on tonight to try Ana out....

At the Irrational Games panel at PAX East today, the team behindBioShock Infinitetalked about the challenges of player agency in the game specifically when interacting with Elizabeth, the player’s constant companion. “The player can be a psychopathic alcoholic because we don’t know what the player is going to do,” says creative director Ken Levine. “You have to embrace that lunacy, if you fight it and you lock the player in place… it’s not the player’s game, it’s our game — but ithas to beyour game....
