A slightly confused community then took to the reply box to seek further clarification on whether the new “Part One” subtitle implied that the sequel would be episodic, whether this is just a demo, or seeking further clarification on a release date for other platforms....

Despite Insomniac Games’ position as an industry leader, I’ve struggled to understand why its games are so beloved when they often feel so infantile.Ratchet and Clankgames have never pried a smile from me, and I found it a chore to completeMiles Morales. ThroughSpider-Man 2,Insomniac Gameshas once again set a new bar when it comes to presenting some of the most polished AAA games of the last few years. With this game, I think I may have figured out why the studio attracts so many ardent fans around the world....
The classic faction-based mode is back I have very fond memories ofSplinter Cell‘s Spies vs. Mercs mode. The gametype debuted in Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow(and was refined inChaos Theory), and featured two distinctly different types of teams pit against each other — the agile, crafty and weak spies, and the tough but pragmatic mercenaries. Simply put, it was way ahead of its time, seeing as how LAN play was a bigger deal than online modes at that point....
Stay Fresh 2016 Splatoon‘s regular roll-out of free weapon and stage updateshas come to an end, but fan fever for the budding franchise is as hot as ever. A recentSplatoonevent in Japan drew huge crowds,sporting real life replicas ofSplatoonweaponry,a spawn point area for photo posing, and even a full-on Squid Sisters live show. The two fictional idols managed to take the concept of imaginary performances to a new level, appearing in hologram form and singing in a completely nonsensical Inkling “language” to an adoring, actual flesh-and-blood crowd....

And… Action! It’s the end of the road. After covering what seems like 700 individual previews, this is probably the last time I will write about a trailer for Atlus’ Nintendo 3DS releasePersona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.It’s been a ride.

Two parents named their kid “Dovakhiin”, after the main character inSkyrim.On the one hand, that’s kinda badass. I walked around my school with aSkyrimhelmet for a week, so I know where they are coming from. Plus, I’m pretty sure the guy will just go by his middle name- Tom, in case you were wondering. Still, after reading that, I suddenly wanted a drink. Of the alcoholic variety. In less odd news, we have some slick Zelda-based articles including a Dtoid Original listing the hardest Zelda dungeons ever, and a review ofJimmie Johnson’s Anything with an EngineandCities XL 2012....
