When I said a ton, I wasn’t kidding. NIS America sent over 80 screenshots ofHyperdimension Neptunia mk2for you to gawk at and get all giddy or whatever it is you do when you check out screenshots. By the time you get done looking at all of these screens it’ll beFebruary 28thand you can just go out and pick up the game for yourself. But in all seriousness, the game is looking pretty pretty good....
Street Fighter 6‘s servers are in a pickle as of June 12, affecting many online services. While you can access the single-player stuff, fun is all about battling out with other players. The easiest way is to go online and match with your friends/other players. Unfortunately, that won’t be possible if you can’t connect to Capcom’s servers. Hence, knowing the server status becomes very important before you sit down with your arcade stick (or your controller if you’re like me)....
Long tale sales help an underdog survive alone Lone Survivoris one of the most unexpectedlyeffective games I’ve ever played. It makes survival horror work in 2D. It feels like a tribute toSilent Hilland a deeply personal expression of developerJasper Byrne‘s perspective on isolation and psychotic depression at the same time. It’s equal parts adorable and disturbing. In short, it’s the kind of game that you may not have much of a frame of reference for....
Tibalt’s Trickery is out in modern, too Magic: The Gathering Arenahas had some…problem cards for a while now in certain formats. I mean,UroandOmnathhave both been banned in standard for some time! Now they will be completely removed from historic play (Omnath was previously suspended); and basicallyMagic: Arenaas a whole. These cards totally weren’t a mistake. In other interesting recent card news, Tibalt’s Trickery, one of the most non-interactive cards in a while, is banned from modern....

Toy Story, Hercules, character models To recap basically everything we know about the worlds ofKingdom Hearts III, so far we’ve seen the Hercules andToy Storyworlds in motion, but it’s confirmed thatBig Hero SixandRapunzelare getting their due as well. That said, Square Enix has noted thatwe’ll see “less Disney worlds”this time around, so that could potentially be it outside of new creations and the long awaited/rumoredThe World Ends With Youlevel. While we wait for more news (and potentially news of more delays), you can check out these high quality screens for theToy StoryandHerculessettings below....
Shall be swallowing spirits soon enough The Japanese PlayStation channel on YouTube has posted a new gameplay trailer forSoul Sacrifice, coming to PS Vita in that country on March 7, followed by North America and Europe nearly two months later. Though the language may be lost on me, it does give a nice visual overview of how the game plays, demonstrating an array of different abilities and how players can enhance their abilities with souls....

Impressions of the PS4 port Thank you, Roll7, for reminding me what an utter joy it can be to slide around in video games. I’m not sure what I was so wrapped up playing last May, but it wasn’tNot a Hero, the studio’s cheeky side-scrolling take on cover-based shooters. I’m often drawn to these sorts of punishing action games that leave little to no room for error and feel euphoric once you sufficiently hone your skills after repeated ass-whoopings, but I missed it for whatever reason....
Hurry, imagine away the $90 million debt! A majority of Rhode Islanders are in favor of becoming ostriches, burying their heads in the sand, and pretending the debt incurred from the state’sill-fated loantoKingdoms of Amalurdeveloper 38 Studios no longer exists, according to a recent WPRI and Providence Journal poll of 506 registered voters. Half of surveyed respondents believe the state shouldn’t repay the $90 million owed to investors who purchased bonds used to fund Curt Schilling’s now-defunct development house....
Speculation run rampant Microsoft recently uploaded a handful of promotional teaser videos for Project Scorpio. They’re standard fare stuff — 15-second clips that urge the viewer to “feel the power” ahead of Sunday’s E3 press conference. It’s a marketing tactic that we’ve seen a thousand times before. Except, these may be slightly different. These may contain clues as to Project Scorpio’s release date. Let’s analyze the evidence. First, here are three of the videos, which YouTube user “The Red Dragon” combined into one clip:...
Using sound to create a constant state of terror Last year I started a new tradition where around Halloween, I would break out my collection of Wii games and play what I consider to be the greatest horror game in my collection. While I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest horror fan — and maybe that’s why my favorite game in the genre is considered by most to be the least scary in the series — I do have a few horror titles tucked away in storage....
It’s official; the iPhone is a successful gaming platform. Today, Konami announced thatSilent Scopeis heading to the App Store “soon.” Excited? You should be. In typicalSilent Scopefashion, you’ll be playing as a hardcore sniper tasked with a major responsibility — save the President and his family from vicious terrorists. It’s a self-described rail-shooter, so get ready for some edgy “tap-to-shoot game controls” across the game’s three traditional modes: Story, Shooting Range and Time Attack....
