Why we’ve lost faith in Survival Instinct Last month, Alessandro Fillaribrought you a previewofThe Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. I attended the event with Alessandro and we both thought there were some good ideas behind the project. A lot of work still needed to be done, though — especially with the visuals. Developer Terminal Reality may have been able to make things work out alright if the game was releasing towards the end of this year....

On mobile Though I’m not the biggest fan of theDragon Ballanime series, I’ve always been a sucker for the games based on it. This year’sDragon Ball FighterZabsolutely mesmerized me at EGLX earlier this month and theBudokaitrio replaced theGodzillafighting games for me and my friends as the go-to party beat’em ups.Dragon Ball Legendsreminds me of those high-flying fighters from a decade ago, but playable on my phone.

Don’t get too gender bent out of shape Some people got real squirrelly when they thought Link might have been a woman in thenewLegend of Zelda. None of you, I’m sure. Our community has a noted love for the idea ofLink as a woman. Anyway, here’s some pictures from theHyrule Warriorsartbook (viaGoNintendo) that show Link as a lady. Or, basically, asDragon’s Crown‘s best character, the Elf.

They’re talking about the sun getting bigger....
