There’s something about rocking out with your cock out and lawsuits that seem to go hand in hand, whether it comes to the legality of mosh pits or whose song was whose first. Activision is certainly seeing the results of this pairing, as they have recently been named in a class action suit that claims they willfully deceived the consumer by advertising the Wii version ofGuitar Hero IIIas having Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound (rather than mono sound,which is what it actually has)....

Of all the open-world, survival, crafting games that feature zombies that are out there,7 Days to Dieis definitely one of them.

Am I a dreamer? Originally, this piece was going to be called “Animal Crossingon the GameCubeis blatantly better thanLegend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom“. My plan was to take a 4/7th serious stance on the topic, not unlike this old essay on why I preferAdvance WarstoCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison and inherently farcical, but the sincere truth is that many of the things I grew up loving aboutZelda(particularly its first 3 sequels) were best translated to polygons in the originalAnimal Crossingtitle....

Beyond Good & Evil 2remainsone of the most infamous unreleased video games in recent years. This is because Ubisoft announced it more than 15 years ago, later re-announced it a few years ago, and yet the game still hasn’t come out without any real explanation for its constant delays and disappearances. But now we have at least one explanation, because Michel Ancel, the game’s former director and the creator of theBeyond Good & Evilfranchise, recently did an interviewwith the French website Superpouvoir(that VGC partially translated into English) in which he discussed different aspects of his extensive career at Ubisoft, including many of the issues behind the development ofBeyond Good & Evil 2....

Even though I have never been big on classic arena first-person shooters, I have been fascinated by the little resurgence we are seeing withToxikkandReflex(though the latter canceled its Kickstarter campaign when it was clear that it would not hit its funding goal). Watching the video above, it looks like developer Reakktor Studios has spent a lot of time thinking about and developing the movement system. It looks like traversal is fun in the environment shown above....
