Downloadable games — no matter which platform we’re discussing here — are great and all, but it’s the highly-original nature of them that stands out to me. Forget about all of those high-def remakes of arcade classics for a moment, because that’s not what I am referring to. I’m talking games like LucasArts’Lucidity. The XBLA/Steam/D2D game was recently priced (viaShacknews) at the unexpectedlyaffordable $10price point, which seems to be the magical cutoff point for most people when it comes to digital game downloads....

Crucible access been restricted for offenders Bungie is cracking down onDestinycheats. “We’re committed to protectingDestinyagainst cheaters,” writes community manager, DeeJ,in this week’s update.“We know you want justice. We’ve seen the chatter. We’ve read the reports. Yesterday and today, our Security Response Team has restricted access to the Crucible by the worst offenders among us all.

The Xbox layoffs of July 2 have hit like a truck. At least a couple of games have been cancelled, along with a vast number of people sadly losing their jobs. Most of the news related to the latest round of layoffs has come from social media. There hasn’t been an official press release as of writing, so it’s hard to gauge the exact fallout. It’s really sad that a lot of hard-working people have lost their jobs across multiple departments, and certain projects will no longer see the light of day....

Pluck me sideways There’s no real reason why I should lovePikminas much as I do. On paper, the idea of having a salad army run around picking up rocket parts doesn’t sound too exciting. However, Nintendo hooked me right away back in 2001. My new GameCube was hungry, and I was eager to feed it more. Nowhere has my enthusiasm for the game been tested quite like with the wait forPikmin 4....

Few things in Hades or Hades 2 are more satisfying than unlocking a brand-new weapon to play around with. And there’s nothing like having plenty of choices in the matter. Here’s every weapon available inHades 2and how to unlock them. There are six weapons inHades 2. The first one is free, but the others require you to gather materials, summon them to Crossroads, and have them join your arsenal. A few are rather easy to conjure early on, but others will take a bit more effort on your part....

Experiment 101 is finishing ‘the final stages of its development’ Biomutantis one of the more out-there mainstream-facing games I’ve seen in the last few years, andever since playinga brief preview build, I’ve wanted to know more. The open-world action-RPG blends a lot of different styles and influences in a way that’s messy, and textured, but still undeniably fun. I’m not the only one who’s curious to know what’s up withBiomutant. It’s been unusually quiet, which tends to spur a sense of dread....

Although the publisher’sinvestor reportstated that the game would be a “remastered” version of the classic survival horror game, Capcom UK’s senior marketing director Stuart Turner said that it had been a “mistranslation.” “Seems to be a few people picking up a mistranslation in our own investor report,” Turnertweeted. “RE2will be a full from the ground up remake NOT a remaster....

Ska Studios confirms a summer release If you’re looking for the perfect videogame to complement your decidedly punk rock lifestyle,Charlie Murderseems like it’s shaping up to be a damn fine candidate. That is, if you care enough to really care (which is totally not punk rock). It also looks like it’s going to be a spectacularly fun brawler/RPG that can’t come soon enough. Fortunately, it looks like the wait won’t be long, as Ska Studios just confirmed a summer launch....

You remember? the game with the dongs? After spending a little over a year in Steam Early Access, Funcom’s open-world survival titleConan Exilesis nearing its official release.

I’ve met the guys from Tactile Entertainment, and they’re really cool dudes. Based out of Denmark, Copenhagen, I know they like to have fun, but I had no idea how crazy they really were. This promo video for their upcoming gameCrazy Testhas me looking at them in a whole new light. WTF?!? This game is supposed to be a wild and fast mini-game line-up, kind of like Nintendo’sWarioWaregames. But, from what I can gather from this strange video,Crazy Testeven…well, crazier....
