Perrikaryal is a streamer who plays games using a headset that reads electroencephalogram signals (EEG).She completedElden Ringand itsShadow of the ErdtreeDLCearlier this year. Now the streamer has set her signs onBlack Myth: Wukongand is already beating bosses left, right, and center. So far, Perrikaryal has beaten a few bosses inBlack Myth: Wukong,includingLingxuziandGuangzhi. This playthrough is very different from herElden Ringsessions, though.

Perspective continues DigiPen’s legacy of creative first-person games Who knows ifPortal 3will ever come about, but if it does, I have a feeling that Valve may snatch up the students behindDigiPen projectPerspective: A 2D platformer played on the walls and objects of a 3D space. In a bad sidescroller, the camera gets in the way. InPerspective, the player is the camera and it’s their job to get out of the way....

Familiar platforming and basic action I really wantRemember Meto do well. It has an awesomeBladerunner-esque setting going for it,a strong, interesting female lead, and it takes some interesting risks to boot. But based on the hands-on demo I tried today, it still has a ways to go. I took control of the protagonistNilin, who was actually my favorite part of the demo. It’s clear that she’s going to be a big hit when it comes to “new favorite characters of 2013” lists, and her iconic look and attitude ensures potential cross-promotion with future Capcom IPs....

The best gen Nintendo and Game Freak are doing a great thing bringing classicPokemongames into the fray on modern platforms. I’ve had many conversations with people who want to get into them but lack retro hardware, and now everyone can enjoy a piece of history together, with trading capabilities with modern games, no less. To this end, Nintendo has announced thatPokemon Crystalis coming to the 3DS on January 26, priced at $9....

Look at that slugcat go! While I don’t think there will be any topping theexpressive .gifs ofRain World, this new footage captures the kinds of tactics necessary to outmaneuver predators in one continuous session that’s worth watching. Those flourishes in the animation haven’t stopped impressing me yet. According to the developers, “each predator has its own distinct hunting behavior and specialized senses it uses to perceive you. You won’t be able to just out-run them every time, so the only way to survive inRain Worldis by learning to understand the capabilities of each creature; their methods and personalities....

When heroes, not douchebags, wore bandanas While other kids were chasing mushrooms, leveling up mages, and debating boss orders, real tough guys were playingContra. Though the series saw a dip in quality in the PlayStation generation, it still stands as one of the most intense and consistent action series. In celebration of the series 25th anniversary this week, it’s time we take a look back. In the late ’80s, arcade games relied on tough as nails difficulty and a series of increasingly outlandish scenarios to keep kids glued to a cabinet, feeding coins by the minute....

Finally, the reason why Darren Aronofsky’s people weren’t returning my calls regarding theFace Facemovie— he’s directing a newRobocopfilm. You read that right, folks. The director behind such films asRequiem for a Dream,Pi, andThe Fountainwill be bringing the “part man, part machine, all cop” back to the big screen some time in 2010. I guess he wanted to challenge himself. Send your videogame-related news and tips to[email protected]… because this whole Aronofsky directing a newRobocopthing has us frazzled....

Muddled morals and messages The 3DS’s days may be numbered, but the plucky little handheld isn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Today it’s seeing the release of two new first-party games inHey! PikminandMiitopia. Both are cute, late-in-the-game entries to the 3DS library that hopefully won’t be too ignored. I spent more than three dozen hours in the world ofMiitopiaand found myself smiling through much of it. It’s weird, it’s quirky, and it has a charm all its own....
