Armored Core 6 hands-on: A devastating steel ballet

There came a point, in playingArmored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, that I determined I simply wasn’t going fast enough. By this point in my hands-on time, I had overcome plenty of enemy mechs, from simple cannon-fodder to named adversaries with callsigns. I was already a heavy-metal death machine. But I could be faster; not just in raw speed, but turning, target acquisition, and elimination. I could push this steel body faster than I currently was, faster than I probably should....

Bloodstained team apologizes for Curse of the Moon code delays, new backer demo is imminent

They’re still prepping the E3 backer demo So far nothing catastrophic has happened to theBloodstainedKickstarter project. Sure the team keeps bumping things back, but at this point that’s expected of any Kickstarter campaign of this magnitude — there hasn’t been any “better than nothing” or “anime fan on prom night” snafus yet. Unfortunately backers that were hoping to get the prequel mini-game that was recently released were stalled on certain platforms, which formerCastlevaniaproducer IGA is now apologizing for....

Celebrating 25 Years of Ecco the Dolphin

Getting lost in the Tides of Time I just got back from a family vacation and have been feeling pretty burned out. For my wife, kids, and I, it was the first significant journey we took anywhere; a mere 14-hour road trip which might not seem like much, but with two kids in tow and me being the only one driving, it was a bit of an adventure. We went to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, specifically a town called Nanaimo which is where I grew up as a kid....

Dead or Alive 6 is now scheduled for a March release

Alpha-152 teleported to the wrong area Just this morning, I wrote about a potentialDead or Alive 6democoming out. I speculated it was prime time since the game would be releasing within a month. Turns out that last part is now wrong, as Koei Tecmo has announced that the next entry in the jiggly franchise has been pushed back to March 2019. Thankfully it isn’t too far into March, being scheduled for the first, but that does sting a little....

Despite the claim that Lord of the Rings: Gollum wouldn’t take cues from the Jackson films, it looks pretty similar

These screens give me pause Earlier this year,Lord of the Rings: Gollumproducer notedthat their upcoming game, an adventure title set in the Middle-earth, was not trying to be a continuation of the popular New Line Cinema/Peter Jackson-verse, and specifically claimed that “he doesn’t look like Andy Serkis.” At this point we hadn’t seen more than a mere logo, so the jury has always been out on that statement. Given how hard it is going to be for some newerLord of the Ringsfans to divorce themselves from that iconic portrayal, I was dubious....

Fashion Police Squad is coming to judge your horrible choices in 2022

This’ll teach you to stop mixing patterns I try not to judge. People can wear whatever they feel comfortable in. Uniforms are not a mandatory part of being in the human race. I’m also not terribly fashionable. Sometimes I put on an outfit I think is cute, but most times it’s jeans and a t-shirt because I’ll probably be parked in front of my computer for most of the day. I’m not here to impress you....
