Beavers, sea lions, moose, and more Planet Zoois still going — not just in terms of animal-roster-boosting DLC, but also free quality-of-life updates, too. We’ve got a little from Column A and a little from Column B today with thePlanet Zoo: North America Animal Packand Update 1.7 rolling out on Steam. On the paid DLC front,this is another $10 add-onwith seven fully roaming “habitat” animals — including one of my absolute favorites to watch swim around, the North American beaver — plus one new amphibian for stationary exhibits....

You need more games, right? If you didn’t get that game you wanted over the holidays (and it happens to be one of these 94 titles on sale), I’ve got good news for you. The Holiday Headquarters sale on the PlayStation Store has some stuff you might be interested in, especially if you’re a fan of From Software.

Newly announced for PlayStation 4 “Habitatis the only strategic space survival game that uses orbital debris to build the future homes of humanity and where hope for survival relies on the creativity and resourcefulness of the player.” This is one of those things I didn’t know I wanted until it was shown to me. Habitat: A Thousand Generations in Orbithas already worked its way through a successfulKickstarter campaign. It’s even playable now onSteam Early Access— you might have seen it as that game in which you can pilot a Statue-of-Liberty-head ship....

I wasn’t kidding, was I? There’s been a serious lack ofSenran Kaguraon Destructoid over the last few months, and I’m here to resolve that problem with a batch of screenshots fromSenran Kagura: Estival Versus. The latest images include Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, and Hibari, though to be honest a glut of these press shots are actually just static images of the girls, as if we’ve never seen them before this game or something....

I hope they make more than five of these Leading up to this summer’sSonic Mania Plus, Sega and writer/director Tyson Hesse have launched a free web-based animated series calledSonic Mania Adventures. The first of five planned episodesmade a good impression, utilizing expressive animations and classic game sound effects to deliverLooney Tunes-style hijinks. Part two went up today. As before, I’m really fond of the dialogue-less approach. The second episode is a bit more straightforward, with Sonic, Tails, and Eggman getting into a tussle that plays out pretty much like you’d expect....

Host takes jovial swipe at upcoming movie The upcomingSonic the Hedgehogmovie doesn’t seem to be able to catch a break, despite the fact we haven’t even seen a trailer for the Sega mascot’s big-screen debut. The posters that turned up in recent months were immediately lampooned by the interwebs, and now even the Golden Globes, held this weekend in Beverly Hills, took a swing at the blue blur’s flick. The fun began when hosts Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh spotted Jim Carrey sitting in an area reserved for actors who starred in recent movies....

Through PlayLink, you and a few friends will use your smart devices to control a variety of different games....

The start of one, anyway I feel like I’m locked in a perpetual game of chicken withSubnautica: Below Zero, a game I can’t possibly dislike. I keep telling myself “This is the Early Access update. This is the one that’ll get me to play.” I say that every dang time, and I still haven’t taken the plunge – but this could be it. Thisshouldbe it. Today’sFrostbite updateforSubnautica: Below Zerois the first step in thenew storyline, making it a particularly good entry point....
