Gotta collect ’em all! I’ve had my eye onAlphabearsince seeing theart directortweet out some pictures of the cute bears featured in the game, as shown in the video above. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it trending on Twitter after having been released earlier today. The game is a word building puzzler on iOS and Android devices that is free-to-play, but don’t let that scare you off. After playing for about an hour or so I’ve finally hit the point where I need to wait a bit to play more or give the developer money — which I’m considering....

Literal waifus I met with Kei Hirono, producer onDark Soulsand the upcoming RPGTime and Eternity, at a local hotel. From the ornate, spacious lobby I was guided by an amiable PR fellow around a couple of twists and turns, up a 10-stair, out of commission escalator — and around a corner to a cozy, severed alcove with several burgundy chairs and low, ambient lighting. Hirono was eating lunch. Some sort of sandwich....

Prepare to swipe The absurdly successful iOS and Android gameTemple Runis getting a direct sequel from Imangi Studios very soon. So soon, in fact, that it’s already available on the New Zealand App Store and will be making its way to other regions shortly. US gamers can expect to download the endless runner when they wake up tomorrow morning. Unsurprisingly,Temple Run 2appears to closely follow its predecessor. While the most apparent change to me is how much easier the game is on the eyes, the core gameplay will surely have some less obvious tweaks to it once we can get our hands on the sequel....

Fanfiction is a genre of writing that allows fans of a show, book, or otherwise fictional word to weave their own stories inspired by the tales of the original authors. The world of fanfiction is vast, with millions of stories to find and absorb. If you’re new to the world of fanfiction, diving in can feel a bit like walking through a foreign country. There are terms and abbreviations aplenty, and it’s easy to get confused if you’re trying to find something to suit your personal reading tastes....

Swap ‘at any time’ I still can’t believe thatPhantasy Star Online 2is coming west. After years of hoping and even playing the damn thing with the fan-made launcher and live at TGS on the PlayStation 4: I was starting to think it would never happen. But thanks to a rather triumphant E3 2019 reveal, it is! Now we just have to wait a little longer. Before that last holding period, we have the new Xbox One closed beta....

Destructoid’s own Sir Jimmothy Sterling has recently made an appeal to the Xbox 360 owning masses to consider the possibility that they may some day beconverted to the PS3dark side. Well now it’s my turn to try and convert you 360 owners, but I’ll be baptizing you in the sweet water of the Wii. And unlike Sir Jim, I have not only words, but video for with to be washing your brains....

News came out this weekendthat Reika Morishita, the vocalist of theRockman DASH(Mega Man Legends) opening and ending songs, will be repackaging herMMLtunes, and should the album sell 20,000 copies, Capcom might be persuaded to upload theLegends 3prototype to the eShop. I didn’t post this as a standalone story because, one, thisLegends 3roller coaster really didn’t need another loop, and two, I didn’t think Capcom would be stupid enough to try to hold fans’ hopes to ransom yet again....

Going over the three modes One of the most confusing things about the Switch is how it has three different “modes.” The Wii U was the same way with two specifications, one of which (tablet only, or, “off-screen play”) may not have been supported. It’s the same thing for the Switch, so it’s important to understand how it works before you drop $300 on the thing and $50 or more on a game....

A reason to revisit the endgame Is too late forThe Division? Have players moved on, never to return? Today’s update should bring some of them back to the online third-person shooter and, with any luck, keep them sufficiently engaged to stick around into the endgame. This wide-ranging update, 1.4, is the one thatsidelinedtheSurvivalandLast StandDLC as the developers shifted their focus to “improving the core gameplay experience” over releasing new scenarios and content for paying players....

In the echo of a gunblast… It’s time for Hamster to bring down the curtain on another year of Arcade Archives releases — and following 12 months ofclassic shmupsandawesome brawlers, the retro publisher is rounding out 2021 with a real oddity: UPL’s utterly bizarre and borderline abstractMutant Night,now available to download on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Submitted for the approval of head-scratching arcade fans in 1987,Mutant Nightcan be considered an early entry into the run ‘n’ gun genre, though it also contains elements of shmups and 2D platforming adventures....

[Update:Apparently the listing story was an hilarious fake set up for the semi-annual, “lol game journalists will believe things sometimes” prank. Oh ho, you got us all with your plausible scenario that we found plausible. Seriously though, good joke guys. I should also point out that, instead of checking facts, I was drawing anMS Paint picture of Nick Cave. So I do accept full responsibility for this journalistic failure.] Online UK retailerPlay....
