Yes, please Ninja Theory has done well for itself withHellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, but there are still opportunities for the game to reach more players. The clearest path forward is probably an Xbox One port, and on that front, there’s been some movement: a listing haspopped upon Taiwan’s ratings board website. What’s more, the Australian Classification Board has a newmulti-platform listingforHellblade. “It wasn’t easy to raise funding as this model of development isn’t an established one,” Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades saidback in November, “but it was worth it — because we now own the IP for a game that we’ve come up with and made, which is as it should be....

Plus Tesla Effect, Raiden IV: Overkill Hey some dude in the comments said I should do this drunk so Max made me drink malt liquor. Anyway here are the reviews I reviewed last week (as well as a couple more that went up after the video). Bound By Flame(PC [reviewed], PS3, PS4, Xbox 360)Developer: SpidersPublisher: Focus Home InteractiveRelease Date: May 9, 2014MSRP: $39.99 The game is actually on your side when it comes to whipping your character into shape, too, as if to compensate for dim AI and the repetitive grind that some may not find as rewarding as I did....

This series is an unsung hero All over the world, the series that started withPushmoon 3DS is known by several names and sequel variations (Crashmo, Fallblox, Pullblox), but it might be at the end of its rope. According to a rumor from Liam Robertson, famed Nintendo leaker who has obtained assets in the past from proven projects, claims that Intelligent Systems has shifted over to other projects. There was even going to be a Wii UCrashmosequel, but that’s done for now — no doubt partially inspired by the death of the Wii U console....

Man One of the best parts of booting up a new fighter inSuper Smash Bros.is plopping them into the Kid Icarus level with Pit and hearing the (typically) hilarious fourth-wall-breaking Palutena rant. In case you haven’t tried this (now staple, as ofSmash 4)mechanic, the gist is that by initiating Pit’s “Smash Taunt” (an Easter egg taunt) on the Palutena’s Temple stage, the game will bring up a dialogue box where Pit’s mentor Palutena will attempt to educate the boy on his foe, in the style ofKid Icarus: Uprising....

Promoted from our Community Blogs! [Destructoid community blogger Wrenchfarm likes to watch you play… which is why he’s so excited for the PlayStation 4’s new “Share” button. Want to see your own words appear on our front page?Go write something!–Mr Andy Dixon] When Sony heldtheir conference unveiling the PlayStation 4last week, I was hungry. I wanted to see the thing that would sell me on the next big consoles, the hook that would have me stashing money under the mattress in anticipation....

You’re a farmer, Harry While ConcernedApe did all of the heavy-lifting and createdStardew Valley, publisher Chucklefish took a chance on it and helped bring it to market. They’re using that success to capitalize on another cute looking simulator inSpellbound. Just likeStardewit’ll be heavy on the sim-aspect, incorporating relationship building, classes, crafting, and farming. It’ll also have elements of combat in the “forest of elemental magic,” bringing in even more parallels....

‘A simulation of dreams in an ocean of the mind’ This isn’t my first time seeingSTARWHAL: Just the Tipbut I can’t for the life of me remember the reason why I neglected to tell you fine people about it. It better have been good! No matter — I prefer writing about stuff that you all can go out and immediately try for yourselves. Anyway, this is a local multiplayer game for PC/Mac in which spacefaring neon narwhals do battle and it’s now up on Steam Early Access for $9....

A couple years ago, Jay “Exploding Rabbit” Pavlina had the idea to remakeSuper Mario Bros.with 100% accuracy down to the last pixel… with the added twist of being able to play as other NES stars such as Mega Man, Link, Samus, and Bill Rizer.Super Mario Bros. Crossovertotally blew up, so Jay kept stoking the fires by adding new characters like Ryu Hayabusa fromNinja Gaidenand Sophia fromBlaster Master. Within the next few months, the Version 2....

Still no western window Tales of Berseriawill launch on Aug 04, 2025 on PS4, Bandai Namco has announced. To celebrate, the publisher has kicked off a new trailer for the game, which shows off a decent amount of gameplay and anime cutscenes in 60fps. It’s pretty snazzy, and the demon arm gimmick is selling me pretty hard. Although it has been confirmed for a US and EU release, there is still no target window in sight....

Awesome Lost Vikingswas a big part of my childhood. It taught me a lot of crucial problem solving skills, and while I initially attempted to kill everything in sight with Baleog, I quickly realized that I needed to use every viking’s ability in tandem to make my way through the game. Naturally, I’m glad to see them return inHeroes of the Storm, alongside of Thrall and Jaina. Two new maps are also a thing, both of which have new concepts like minion stealing and obelisk control....

When you hear the phrase “ROM hack,” two thoughts may flitter across your mind. One, somebody took an old game from a legacy console and slightly altered the color palette or sprites to make it look like, for instance,all the boxers inPunch-Out!!are bare-ass. Or two, the level layouts have been altered to the point thatno mere mortalcould hope beat the game and keep their sanity in check. The former is the kind of stuff hacking newbies pull to get a few shock laughs, while the latter results in a project that is more frustrating than entertaining....

The Reaper’s Reward event, a free and limited-time event inThe Sims 4, will begin on September 24. There are a lot of fun rewards up for grabs through completing quests alongside the Grim Reaper, but how does the event work? The Reaper’s Reward event will be live for eight weeks, giving players two quests a week for six weeks, with a bonus two at the end for those who started late....

Tokyo Game Show 2012 is set for September 20 through 23 in…Tokyo, so I doubt most of you will be around the area (Makuhari) at the time, but you never know. Actually, I’ve heard from a few readers that they would be in Tokyo during this year’s show. These and others should know that TGS organizers CESA are giving away 100 pairs of tickets to this year’s show. A Twitter campaign lets interested attendees tweet their wish to visit Tokyo Game Show....
