Live action Donkey Kong makes metaphor reality

Machinima is at it again with another live-action movie trailer based on an old-school, semi-abstract videogame concept. They run with the dichotomy betweenDonkey Kong‘s beastly manner and his stately neck tie as far as anyone could hope for. InMr. Kong, Donkey Kong is the physical manifestation of man vs nature; our animal instincts constantly at odds with our capacity for logic and judgement. It’s obvious, right? He’s got a tie on!...

Mass Effect Legendary Edition smooths out the first game, but it’s still ME1

A Mako ride with fewer bumps Damn, it feels good to be back on the Normandy. Booting up theMass Effect Legendary Editionfor the first time last week, I was hit with waves of emotions. Dueling swathes of nostalgia and newfound wonder at seeing this, all this, in a single package slammed me over the head. I’ve played through the whole trilogy a couple times, and through the first game the most; yet booting it up here, in 2021, in theLegendary Edition, I couldn’t help but feel a little warm about jetting off in the Normandy once again....

Priest Simulator: Vampire Show, which probably isn’t what you’re expecting, launches from Early Access

Yesterday was really busy, so I didn’t get around to telling you:Priest Simulator: Vampire Showhas finallyleft Early Access. The launch version hosts aslew of improvementsand comes alongside, strangely, a small DLC expansion. If this sounds familiar, maybe it’s because I looked atPriest Simulatorback in 2022in an Early Access review before it had its subtitle. I remember it clearly.
