‘Buy my book!’ ~ Jay Sherman While much of modern society has moved on to the world of “electrons and information“, there are two demographics that still eat up the printed page: kids and old people. Interestingly enough, these are also the two age groups who often love Nintendo the most. With kids, we can guess that Nintendo’s general rejection of most things edgy, gritty, and grumpy is a major selling point....
They Breatheis disturbing in all the right ways. For starters, it’s got the fear of running out of breath, one gamers have had since the days ofSonic the Hedgehogor before. And then there’s the creatures. They look to me like horrifying jellyfish; the developers call them “strange aquatic mooses.” Whatever these things actually are, the way they squeeze the life out of frogs is not a particularly pleasant sight. A twist is being promised, with potentially “the coolest thing” aboutThey Breathebeing a story spoiler....
Go on, take a piece Last year, Square Enix promotedDragon Quest Heroesin Japan with a huge wall of poppable slimes at a metro station.It was the stuff of dreams. (For me, anyway, but then again I seestrange thingswhen I sleep.) A similar campaign is now underway forDragon Quest Buildersthat trades bubble wrap for blocks. Tons and tons of blocks. Commuters at the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Shinjuku Station (the same as last time!...
My two favorite things! I really love musical theater. I was raised on original Broadway cast recordings of various shows likeLes Miserables,Little Shop of Horrors, andWicked, and my friends and I even had aPhantom of the Operafan club when I was in third grade. So as you may imagine, I was pretty jazzed when I discovered there was a musical adaptation of the 1971 educational gameThe Oregon Trail. The show is aptly namedTheTrail to Oregon!...
What a week! Tokyo Game Show 2012 is over, and we have a rather uprisingamount of storiesto show for it, actually. I went in not expecting to see too much from the show, but there were quite a few Japan-only games that had us calling for worldwide releases. This year saw 223,753 visitors, compared to 2011’s 222,668. Not a huge boost, of course, but the fact that attendance didn’t decline is good — especially considering there was no next-gen hardware from Microsoft or Sony present....

A trip down memory lane When I was a young boy, some of my fondest memories were playing with my woodenThomas the Tank Enginerailroad toys. As I grew older, I turned to various video games to try and scratch that nostalgia itch, with no success. However, it would appear that Excalibur Games has an answer to that in the form ofTracks: The Train Set Game. Trackssets out to be the wooden train track builder for players of all ages....

1-P resuraaaaaa The current run of the WWE 2K are extremely frustrating. Each release seems to come with its own compromises and drawbacks.WWE 2K22has an upgraded engine, but the custom entrances have been taken out, and there’s no Rick Rude. To make matters worse, patches after its release borked major parts of it. It’s bad enough that the6.5 I awarded to itis too generous for the state it’s been reduced to....
After cashing in all these used bottles I found, by some miracle I finally had enough money to get over to The GDC and explorer all of its employment opportunities! I, myself, and I have always wanted to know what really goes on at The GDC. I, for one, know that it’s not that easy impressing these people. They ask for outrageous things like resumes, past job experience, and your middle name....
Game is out June 17 for PS4 and Xbox One Legendary martial artist Bruce Lee will be a playable character inEA Sports UFCand with that knowledge, I can’t imagine why you’d choose to play as anyone else. Now, EA is taking the usual “pre-order the game for access” route but, thankfully, Lee is not restricted to customers who reserve the game — they’re just getting him quicker. Everyone else will need to clear the game on pro difficulty or higher, unlocking Lee for play in the Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight, and Lightweight divisions....
Edmund McMillen (co-creator ofGishandTriachnid) has announced that his newest game,Aether, has been released to the public. McMillen personifiesAetheras a “personal project” that explores the concept of escapism and a child’s desire to find someone whom he can relate to. Here’s what McMillen had to say about the title in his press release: It’s called Aether and it’s a simple experimental art game about childhood and escapism. Its a very honest and personal project I’ve been a little worried about making public because its exposes a lot of the fears I had when I was a child and puts me in a vulnerable places....
The game series is still floating around too Detective Pikachuis a really strange subseries for The Pokemon Company.Beginning life as a 3DS game, it spun off into a film that did fairly well, andit even got a giant amiibo! It’s on their radar to an extent, but only just. Is there room for a film sequel?Speaking to Inverse, star Justice Smith (who plays Tim Goodman) doesn’t think it’s going to happen, though he is game if it does....
