I finally have my most-requested Heroes of the Storm character in Mal’Ganis

He could have came with WoW: Legion but that’s okay After years and years ofWarcraft III(I’m so glad that game doesn’t have a /played command) I’ve had plenty of time to assess which hero is my favorite. All of them have their own charm, but the Dreadlord (a role often times filled by Mal’Ganis) was my jam. The vampiric voice, the imposing visage, the sheer tactical value of a point and click sleep crowd control spell: all of it added to his allure....

In the face of multiple delays, Uncharted 4 has finally gone gold

It’s gold, Jerry! I used the “gold, Jerry!” joke once already in the past week. Did you spot it! You win one free pat on the pack. This gold has a bit more meaning than a lame Kenny Bania Ovaltine joke though. Naughty Dog has announced thatUncharted 4has finally gone gold, which means that the game is a done deal and it’s ready to ship. This is significant because the game has seen multiple delays, with its original launch date as July 30, 2025, before being pushed back to March 18, and then April 26, and eventually, May 10....

Is that Ground Zero in my Pokemon?

I’ve already played through the Japanese version ofPokemon White(P.S. – it’s myfavorite Pokemon game yet), but due to my limited Japanese, I only sort-of understood what was going on in the game’s story. That’s partially why it comes as such a shock that people are saying that a recreation of Ground Zero (the former site of New York’s Twin Towers) is in the game. I had no idea! I know that the Unova, the in-game location right next to this presumed “Ground Zero”, is a lot like New York City (or at least, New York City through the eyes of Japan)....

Jonathan Blow’s next project is Braid: Anniversary Edition

Rewind to more than a decade ago My eyes just about popped out of my head when I realized this obscure trailer was slowly turning intoBraid. That is, just without hyperbole, about the last thing I expected. It’s not a sequel though; it’s a revisiting of 2008’s indie standout hit. Jonathan Blow and David Hellmen repainted the whole game and added extra animations.Braid: Anniversary Editionis a modernization in look and feel only....

Layers of Fear 2 wants us to poke around a spooky ship this May

‘You became an actor so you wouldn’t have to be yourself’ The concept has been done before, and it’ll be done again, but boy do I appreciate horror games that take place on a ship. The folks behindLayers of Fear 2surely agree, as they’ve decided to swap out theirtormented painter in a Victorian mansionfor a Hollywood actor stranded aboard an ocean liner. The setup: “Your past has helped to mold you into what you are, forced upon you the skills required to hone your craft....

Mario Galaxy 2 screenshots are f*cking gorgeous

It’s not often you may use the term “f*cking gorgeous” when talking about Wii screenshots, but Nintendo’s artists always find a way to squeeze some impressively beautiful visuals out of the little white waggle box. It’s all in the presentation, I suppose, and it’s that presentation that makesMario Galaxy 2look delightful in these new screenshots. It really makes you wonder why so many Wii games look so bad when titles like this prove that you can have pretty visuals....

New Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse screenshots

Trio of images feature multiplayer in the multiverse Activision released new screenshots ofFamily Guy: Back to the Multiversetoday, giving a look at the title’s multiplayer component. I wish I could muster some enthusiasm for it — there’s split-screen, after all, and I do love that consideration — but it’s pretty tough. A deathmatch mode in a licensed game based on a television show does not inspire confidence. Maybe it looks better in motion....
