This week onSup, Holmes?we’ll be graced with the presence of Alexander Bruce, developer of the upcoming FPMF (First Person Mind F*ck)Antichamber. While FPS’s are more popular now than ever, their success has seen a parallel resurgence of first person games that aren’t focused on violence, likeMinecraft,Amnesia,Portal 1 & 2, and theupcoming titleThe Witness. I’m hoping thatAntichamberis able to ride the wave of increased interest in first person games that try to do more than feed off the success ofCall of Duty....

Their eSports angle has a Rakdos flourish to it Magic: The Gathering Arena, even in beta form, is ripping through the digital card game market. With newcomers likeArtifactfizzling it’s poised to really make a splash this year when it fully launches: a goal that’s helped by the fact thatArenais basically a 1:1 re-creation of the enduring 26 year old classic formula. I sat down with some of the top people leading theArenainitiative (Elaine Chase, VP of Esports, Bear Schmiedicker, Director of Esports, and Ben Drago, Senior Manager of Competitive Gaming) to get a feel for what’s next, and it’s mostly good news for people who are interested in getting intoMagicor are already digging intoArena....

In addition to, what, four other series? In sharing that Telltale Games president and co-founder Kevin Bruner will become the new CEO while Dan Connors shifts to an advisory role, the company hinted at what’s in store for us: lots of games, including one not based on an existing license (as well as some that are). BesidesTales from the Borderlands,Game of Thrones,Minecraft: Story Mode(still funny), and another season ofThe Walking Dead, the studio says it has “unannounced partnerships and [an] upcoming original IP” in the pipeline....

It’s a kid’s show if you haven’t guessed Spyro is dead. Long live Spyro. I was just re-watching a great“Did You Know” episode on the series, and how the team at Insomniac was able to work some technical wizardry to actually get the thing to run, and found myself wanting to replay them all again. The first three are all gold at the very least, and ifCrashcan get PS4 remasters, maybe Spyro can too....

Oh, summer and your videogame sales. I just keep buying games and telling myself that I’ll play them eventually. It is all lies. My backlog will simply consume me one day, without malice, and move on to its next victim. I accept my fate. Today, Jonathan Holmes talked with Christine Love about making a big budget magical girls RPG (which is an amazing idea), Chad Concelmo braved bad memories in coming up with a list of the most irritating flying enemies, some jerk wrote previews forTony Hawk’s Pro Skater HDandMarvel Heroes, and more!...

Digging the style Y2Kis still in development, and it wears itsEarthBound/Motherinspirations on its sleeve. The latest footage of the RPG shows the protagonist running around in the “East Mainstreet” town area, taking in the sights while a soothing track plays. The art style is excellent, and the modern/retro look is doing the game a lot of favors. I especially dig how far the draw distance looks, and the idea of exploring vast faraway lands looks fun....

I have no idea what kind of men this expectant mother has been sleeping with, but itappears that the resulthas been a tummy full of Drybones. This ultrasound quite clearly shows an undead Koopa Trooper nestled within the belly of a woman called Amy. Seems that certain bones weren’t quite so dry after all. Yes, we know, this is a stupid story that doesn’t belong on a journalistic news resource such as this, but it’s also the most awesome ultrasound picture you’re likely to see today, so just shut up and revel in the trite “gamer humor” that we’re forcing upon you....

THQ has revealed that it plans to drop out of the licensed kid game market entirely, refocusing its efforts on so-called “core” games such asSaints Row: The Third. This news came at an investor meeting, where it was also announced that Volition’s open world game had sold 3.8 million copies.
