Crawl through dungeons to grow your flock The best new game shown off at Gamescom: Opening Night Live was, without hesitation,Cult of the Lamb—an adorably messed-updungeon-crawler-meets-base-builder. Having recently watchedMidsommarfor the first time — I was a holdout, okay? — I am on this disturbing community wavelength.

Float on Two minutes into my GDC appointment to playDownward Spiral: Horus Station(it has nothing to do withthe Nine Inch Nails album, I checked), I floated painstakingly slowly across a small room.

This can’t end well Recently the Japanese magazineNintendo Dreaminterviewed two prominent members of the development team forFire Emblem Warriors: producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Hiroya Usuda.

With Gametapchanging handsfrom Time-Warner to Metaboli, it was certain that some changes were going to be coming down the pipe. This is a disappointing one, however, and I would not be surprised to discover if it alienates people who had been considering a Gold membership.
