I had an opportunity to talk toSonic 4brand manager Ken Balough while on the E3 showfloor, discussing the history of the game, the intentions of Sega, and the reaction from fans. On that last point, I was curious as to how the infamousSonic 4leaks and the fan fury that followed affected Sega, and what influence that has had on the game’s development. “It’s unfortunate that such an early build ofSonic 4was made more public than we liked,” explains Balough....

Releasing July 08, 2025 The more I read about Tale of Tales’ new gameSunset, the more curious I become. Amidst a brewing revolution in South America during the 1970s, players will inhabit a housekeeper as she cleans an apartment each week and optionally digs up dirt on her employer Gabriel Ortega. Turns out he’s involved in the conflict and, you know,one little peekcouldn’t hurt. This is a “first-person narrative-focused game,” if you want to label it....

Achievements work with the console enabled Based on everything I’ve heard aboutThe Evil Within, I genuinely do not know if I’ll like the game. It could be one of my favorites this year, but I also wouldn’t be shocked if I ended up hating it, all the same. I’ll continue putting off playing the game as more updates roll out for the PC version. Today’s update should make some of you happy: Granted, you’ll still need a capable PC to handle runningThe Evil Withinsmoothly....

It’s plug and play, basically When the PlayStation 3 was first released, keyboard and mouse functionality was one of the biggest draws for me as a PC gamer, especially with friends who refused to play on any platform other than consoles. But the dream was eventually squashed, as a scant few titles (such asUnreal Tournament 3andCS: GO) actually supported the control scheme natively. As a result, hardware that emulates the analog and digital functions of the DualShock 3 was created to fill a niche....

The Discovery Update 2.0 is live “Keep scrolling for more recommendations.” I think that sums up the direction Valve has taken the Steam store in recent years. you may manually search for games by name or genre, or peek at the chart-toppers, sure, but have you seen these personalized recommendations? Why, there’s a never-ending list of ’em! Justkeep scrolling. Today’s refresh of the storefront is called the Discovery Update 2....

War…what is it good for? Anyone hoping to fire upDarksiderson their PS4, Xbox One or Wii U will be sad to learn that the game has been delayed. Originally planned to release next week, the game will now be targeting June 24, 2025 as a release date. The PC (which doesn’t even really need a new port) will be heading to the front on November 29. I’ve never managed to play this series....

I was doing some shopping at Toys”R”Us today and noticed the above sitting by the register. Apparently, FAO Schwarz and Toys”R”Us are exclusively selling these “customize a Muppet” kits. I repeat,kits that allow you to make your own Muppet exist. If you guys were wondering what to get me this Christmas, here’s an idea. Another slow weekened, perfect for catching up on sleep or, like me, losing sleep over this persistent cough and aching throat....

Phil and Manny are going to troll me really hard. If you’ve ever seen the Gentlemen’s Club you’re already well aware that I’m hot garbage when it comes to fighting games. Apparently I’ve become notorious due to this fact. So earlier this week when Phil and Manny asked me to play Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 I just about died. Sadly, I was outvoted so I’ll be spending two hours getting absolutely wrecked by people who are good at fighting games....

Okay, you got me — what the heck is this? Oh, that Bethesda. I say I’m going to do my best to avoid covering teasers and then, right after leading up toThe Evil Within‘s announcement with a bunch ofVine posts, the company has organized some sort of promotional campaign with GameSpot. One I’m unable to resist. It all startedwith a tweet, as these things tend to. The publication has full-size versions of the three spliced-together images, viewablehere,here, andhere....

This is a delightful trailer forSuper Scribblenautswhich has come out of gamescom. The focus of the trailer is on what’s arguably the biggest innovation this game has over the originalScribblenauts: the addition of adjectives. I say “arguably” because some might consider the implementation of directional-pad controls to be more innovative, as they make the gameplayable. I had a chance to play around withSuper Scribblenautsat E3 and it’s amazing. I know, we all said that last year when we were talking aboutScribblenauts....

We like loot. A lot. Take-Two Interactivehas disclosedits financial report for its second quarter fiscal 2013, which saw GAAP net revenue of $273.1 million, up from last year’s $107 million for the same period. This was attributed toBorderlands 2and catalog sales ofGrand Theft Auto IVandRed Dead Redemption(Can we get that sequel yet?) in addition to a 108 percent year-over-year growth of digitally delivered content. Of course, hearing specifics on a per-game basis would be nice....
