Also,Storyteller On March 28,MLB The Show 23will be out on the Nintendo Switch eShop, and I’m extremely curious what the breakdown is in terms of who buys sports games on the Switch versus every other platform (especially newer current-gen consoles). But I’m sure no one wants to hear about that, as there’s plenty of other stuff on offer on the Switch in the near future (and a lot going away on the 3DS and Wii U, RIP)....
The game is still free-to-play Pokemon Unitedownloads have hit a whole new high, as The Pokemon Company reports that over 70 million people worldwide have grabbed the game. While the figure wasn’t broken down (and of course, does not denote active players), the number comes froma new Japanese YouTube ad(below), with the subtext that the 70 millionPokemon Unitedownloads mark includes both the mobile and Switch editions. As a whole,Pokemon Unitehasn’t changed much in the past few months....
I still watch Pokemon movies Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special IVis a mini-movie series of sorts that features…well…Mega Evolutions, and this newest bit is centered around Mega Zygarde, a legendary fromX & Y. It’ll also featurea new Pokémon, which you can now view in all its glory in the above teaser. Based on the implication at the end, it’s very possible that it will be the chibi form of Zygarde. The series also has a feature film that’s set to arrive overseas later this year after its Japan debut —Hoopa and the Clash of Ages....
And you’ve got TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME Prison Architectis bloody brilliant, and it isn’t even done yet. It’s aTycoon-style management sim with a firmly tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, and it’s been in early access for almost three whole years now. Since 2012, the game’s gone from totally playable to possibly one of the best management sims to come out this decade, and now the long journey of development is almost at an end....
Mafia IIisn’t even out yet but looks like we’re already talking about the game’s post-launch downloadable content. Granted, 2K’s hand may have been forced as the Trophies for theDLC were revealed early yesterday. So here’s what you’re getting. On August 27,Mafia IIwill be released and with it will come a free voucher code exclusively for the PlayStation 3. “The Betrayal of Jimmy” as it’s called will follow a mercenary named Jimmy who’s doing dirty deeds for the mob....
It seemed like just last week we were giving away beta keys for theUncharted 3multiplayer beta. Folks were scrambling for them online, with social network services like Twitter lighting up with requests for access codes. Oh yeah, itwasonly last week! Heads up: if you own a PlayStation 3 and have a free PlayStation Network account, you can download and play theUncharted 3multiplayer beta. No contests, no codes for download… it’s available for all!...
Canadian punk band PUP, famous for their retro-game inspired “DVP” video last year, are at it again with their new “Old Wounds” video, which is a playable FMV-esque video game. After watching the first clip, you may make a selection of decisions for the band members that play out through interconnecting YouTube videos, whilst the song blazes away in the background. there’s also appearances from some suspiciously recognisable sprites. It’s a fun and inventive idea, and even if it’s not the ideal way to hear a band’s new track, I for one appreciated theUnder a Killing Moon/Corpse Killer-vibe I got from the whole thing, I also thought it was pretty funny and I liked the song, so success all round!...
WASD forever Before eventually realizing the error of my ways, I was perfectly content with buying very cheap keyboards and burning through them once they became too dirty to deal with or simply broke. As someone who plays PC games and generally does a lot of typing, I clearly wasn’t looking at this buying situation from a long-term perspective. That changed when I picked up a Das keyboard and experienced the joys of regularly using a well-made mechanical keyboard....
Say it ain’t so [Update:The tweet has since been removed, but this lines up withthe announcement from Nintendothat the original DS model will no longer be serviced starting April 30.] The Nintendo DS came out in 2004do you feel old yet?, and Nintendo has been pumping out DS carts ever since. Until now, that is, according to retailer Video Games Plus. A recent tweet from the company claims that Nintendo has “discontinued production of DS carts worldwide,” quickly noting that they have “exclusive restocks” coming soon....
The Japanese Xbox 360 website has added a page forBionic Commando: Rearmedand it has a date listed on it! Or, rather, it did have a date listed on it. Sometime within the two hours it took me to get around to this post, the date vanished like the Statue of Liberty in a David Copperfield primetime special. Originally slated for release in late May, the game was delayed at the last minute for bug fixing and submission procedures....
You’re not the only pirate lurking on the waters ofSkull and Bones. And I’m not just talking about your fellow pirates. There are many NPC faction ships for PvE combat, but they won’t just take it lying down. Here’s how to lower your faction hostilitySkull and Bones. You can lower faction hostility toward you inSkull in Bonesby using typical GTA rules: Run away and hide for a bit. Sadly, you won’t be able to swing your ship into a paint shop to shake the feds....
Titles up to 75% off Valve wants to let you know that they’ve unleashed “monster savings” on many titles in what they’re calling their Spooky Spectacular. Over 80 titles are available at “scary” low prices from now until “about the time all the pumpkins are smashed,” which we’ll guess means November 1. In poking around thesale page, we see that “scary” games likeLeft 4 Dead 2, Dead Rising 2andI Am Aliveare discounted nicely....
I’m a big fan of claymation and ofSuper Meat Boy, so I had to post this. It’s clearly not a big budget production, but as a piece of fan art, this little film has lovably shambled its way into my heart. It makes me wonder how a realSuper Meat Boyclaymation TV show might turn out. Though they were far from perfect, I was sort of into theParappa,Viewtiful Joe, andMega Man Starforceshows....
