Great MAGFest 11 moment #2: Impromptu dance battle!!!

Seriously, this happened As I saidyesterday, mind-blowing stuff can happen at any second at MAGFest. The kind of stuff that people will be talking about for years to come. Stuff like a random dance battle in the middle of the dealer room. I’m on my way to the console freeplay area when I notice a crowd gathered nearby Mega Ran’s booth. He andDJ Asu Rockwere pumping a mix of assorted dance, electronica, and hip hop tunes through the speakers, then all of a sudden, two con-goers start battling hardcore right then and there....

Hey! Here’s some awesome artwork

This collection of videogame (and movie) art may be the most badass thing I’ve seen in quite some time. We see “realistic” game characters all the time and it often takes a turn for the “what the f*ck?!” This, on the other hand, is pure magic. Several variations on Mario vs. Bowser, Link, Samus, and, my personal favorite, a seductive Luigi are accompanied by The Goonies, Falkor the Luck Dragon, Gremlins, and an assault rifle toting Red Riding Hood just to name a few....

Is The Last Faith a Soulslike?

The Last Faithwears its inspiration on the proverbial sleeve: it is atrue-to-form Metroidvania titlestyling itself after the likes ofBlasphemousandBloodborne. This much is obvious from a passing glance at the game, however, and it’s its status as a true Soulslike that we’ve been wondering about. Much ofThe Last Faith‘s pre-release marketing hypehas focused on it being a Soulslike. The thing about this particular gaming niche, however, is that it tends to extend to all manner of titles....

It’s been over five years since Mega Man Legends 3 was canceled

Pour another one out Mega Man— the fanbase that never stops dreaming. No matter what, even with a complete lack of proper releases, we never give up hope. I still look backat my collectionafter grabbing a game to play out of it weekly and think — “one day.” As I’ve said a million times, Capcom should sell the game license off to Nintendo and retain merchandising rights (which is all they really want)....
