Dragon’s Dogma 2has been the talk of the town since day one, in partbecause it’s a great game, and in part because it’s got astaggering number of add-ons. Capcom isn’t twiddling its thumbs, though, as the studio’s just announced the first major suite of planned updates. It should come as no surprise that some of the upcoming changes appear to have sprung up directly from player feedback. Notably, the game currently lacks a ‘New Game’ option, which effectively results in a situation where playerscannotbegin an entirely new playthrough without scouring through their game files and duking it out with the default cloud save solution....

Remember that thought you had aboutLost Planetway back when? You know, that one about it being alright and everything, except for the fact that it desperately needed cel-shaded anime graphics. Well, friend, you’re in luck — the folks at Capcom are mind readers and always strive to fulfill your desires…as long as they don’t includeMega Man. But seriously, I’m not sure anyone knew they wanted this crazyLost Planetspin-off, but here it is and after watching that trailer (and re-watching it half a dozen times) I’m incredibly excited about it....

Better to rule in Hell League of Geeks, the team behindArmello, is diving into the vault and bringing back a cult-classic. The studio’s next title is a reimagining ofSolium Infernum, a political strategy game that pits would-be rulers against each other for the highest seat in Hell. Originally released in 2009,Solium Infernumdid not receive a ton of widespread attention. Victor Davis’ strategy game, created under the studio Cryptic Comet, did latch on with some particular journalists and blogs though....

You have to graduate sometime “THA’S HOW YOU RIDE A CARRRRRAGOR!” Yeah, thanks asshole. I’ve already done this like two dozen times. You might have noticed I rode up to your mission marker ON a Caragor. “WHEN UN’ ORC IS DOWN, THA’S WHEN YOUR CARRRAGOR CAN POUNCE ON EM!” DIE IN A FIRE. I lovedShadow of Mordor. You know, unlike some people. I could ignore the generic revenge-driven plot, put up with Gollum’s shenanigans, and embrace the hell out of the unique cast of orcs the game generated for me....

Is this actually happening?! Metal Wolf Chaosis a video game in which Michael Wilson, the 47th President of the United States, hops into a mech to fend off an insurrection and his own conniving Vice President. It was created byDark Souls‘ own From Software for the original Xbox. In short, it was and still isridiculous. Despite having English voice-overs, the game never saw release outside of Japan.Metal Wolf Chaoshas built up something of acult statussince 2004, and now, that affection seems to have led somewhere....

I’m surprised byGravity Rushevery time I see it, mostly because I keep forgetting what it is and assume it’s a puzzle game. Then I’m reminded that it’s a weird action title with a colorful girl in a comic book world, and I’m excited all over again.

Jaina is out now, with more to follow In all of the years I’ve playedHearthstone(about six years now), the free bits and the adventures are the portions I’ve enjoyed the most. There’s something so relaxing about hunkering down and solving a single-player puzzle, engaging in a free weekly brawl, or chilling out with battlegrounds that keeps me coming back far more than the constantly adjusted and sometimes pricey standard play....
