Awards last night in Las Vegas, andunlike last year, the game of the year selection isn’t bound to shock. It wasOverwatch!

It has not been a good run forRedfall, the vampire FPS from the Austin branch of Arkane Studios, andBethesda doesn’t appear to be giving up on it. Having said that, so few people are playing the game that it’s tough to imagine how it will ever recover. As spotted byPCGamesN, the number of players logged intoRedfallhas dropped so much, that it’s down to double digits. In fact, at the time of writing, only six people were playing according toSteamDB, so we’re now into single figures....

Two ofFatal Fury‘s finest are joining the roster for Year 2 ofStreet Fighter 6. Terry and Mai are heading toSF6, alongside series mainstays Elena and M. Bison, as DLC fighters. It’s a pretty surprising move to see two SNK mainstays cross over into a mainlineStreet Fighter, especially this early in its DLC rollout. There are surely a few fighters left from Capcom’s history to pull in. But in another way, this is the closest we can get to a newCapcom vs....

Some brilliant soul is making a great looking game based on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show

Hey paisanos! Jesus Lopez has something special on their hands: a fan game based onThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show. You know, that old cartoon starring Lou Albano that ran during Saturday mornings in 1989 that had both an official rap and the song“Do the Mario?” The footage clocks in at just under two minutes and showcases a very simplistic level, but it’s pretty great. Mario looks exactly how he should in an HD/modern rendition of theSuper Showcartoon, and that run animation is brilliant....

In Sony’s never-ending quest to convince each and every one of us that their new PlayStation 3 is actually a computer, it seems they left out any of their famous DRM to protect people from making backups of movies (and potentially games) directly to the system’s hard drive. Gizmodo brings uswordof how insanely easy it is. Apparently, once you’ve installed one of the tastes-like-silicon flavors of Linux on your PlayStation 3, you enter a few simple commands andvoila!...

Space Hulk: Deathwing looks like one of the better Warhammer 40K adaptations

Shield up! Streum On Studio is onto something cool withSpace Hulk: Deathwing, its squad-based shooter adaptation of theSpace Hulkboard game. There’s a sense of weight and intimidation to the hulking Terminator armor that other games have sorely missed, and I love those sudden, surprising bursts of speed. And yes, it’s true: I’m also partial to a good Genestealer explosion.Lots of that here. This extended footage comes after a recent beta, and right before the game’srapidly-approaching PC release....

Star Citizen’s single-player campaign won’t make it out this year

‘We don’t want to show stuff too early’ For a while now,Star Citizenhas existed in my mind as this nebulous, far-off thing. That doesn’t change today. Cloud Imperium Games has once again pushed back the space sim’s single-player, story-driven, Gary Oldman-havingSquadron 42module. It won’t see a release this year. Speaking at the fourth-annualCitizenCon event, CEO Chris Roberts said “It’s really important to do it right. […] As much as we wanted to haveSquadron 42for this year, it is not going to be this year because, for all the polish we need to do, it still needs more time....
