The first real look atTron Legacyfinally invaded the Internet this week. I still haven’t watched the original Tron so I don’t really know what’s going on here aside from the obvious. The obvious being that a kid is looking for his lost father and entersTron. Also, Olivia Wilde is wearing a skin tight outfit. So hot.

The first twoMomodoragames areplayable for free, whileMomodora IIIis only a few dollars. I’ll have to set aside time to revisit the whole lot of ’em in sequence — they look increasingly good!...

[As posted onJapanator] I love Japan because they regularly tie up two of my loves: food and videogames. When they promote a game, they love to use food to do so. TheYakuzaseries of games is no stranger to food tie-ins, and this newest one forYakuza 4looks delicious. Japaneserestaurant chainProntoappears in the world ofYakuza 4. Buy food there and recover health. On the flip side, in the real world, you can eat an original pasta dish inspired by the game....

Coming October 1 [Update:Spokesman Tommy Tallarico is on anElectric Playground livestream, and he’s dishing out a bunch of information that wasn’t part of the press release.

Godspeed Valve’s card gameArtifacthas been spiraling out of control since its late November 2018 launch. In just several months it’s gone from 60,000 plus concurrent players to less than 300: which, as you can imagine, is not acceptable for a game helmed by Valve, the arbiter of Steam itself. The studio has even jettisoned the legendary Richard Garfield, creator ofMagic, from the project. While the quality of the game is generally regarded as above average, the problem lies within the monetization....

Jim gave it a 3.5 when it came out last year, and I agree — it was pretty bad. I first played it at PAX East in 2010, and the concept was very interesting, but it just wasn’t done. That was back when it was a regular subscription-based game....

It may be because I regularly deal with thetwisted exports of Nippon, but just about every game title I hear these days sounds like it could be aneroge. I’m already that messed up, and there’s no going back now, so I’ll say that my mental image of a game calledSummon Night: Twin Ageis hot.So hot. The truth is,Summon Night: Twin Ageis hot, though not in an erotic way. It is a game from the popular Japanese RPG series that we’re starting to see more of thanks to the fine folks at Atlus....

That’s a semi-cult-favorite mech combat series. “[O]ne of the new titles I’ve been working on will probably comply with the expectations from the fans in straightforward manner,” Miyazaki said.
