So pretty This 15-minute long gameplay video of Sucker Punch’sinFamous: Second Sonmay be in Russian, but you don’t need to speak the language to figure out what’s going on. It’s just a lot of Delsin cruising around the Seattle rooftops and emanating streaks of purple with every movement. But, he’s not a one-trick pony! He also has a bit of orange up his sleeve, which he uses liberally while disposing of guys that look way tougher than him....

Blaster Master Zero Blaster Masteris well known to a lot of people. It basically took me to the next level way back when, as it was notably difficult and contained a mixture of action platforming and Metroidvania exploration. I even explained how it was almost criminal that it wasn’t included on the NES Classic Edition release in my review. And despite the few attempts there have been at a revival, this new one from Inti Creates and Sunsoft actually looks promising....

Blue is a good boy I wasn’t a huge fan ofJurassic Worldwhen it first came out, but I can tell you that I liked the fact that it ended with a t-rex, a raptor, and a genetically modified dino fighting it out in an obvious homage to early Hollywood monster movies. Once that happened I knew that they were ditching the pseudo-science thread of the originals and basically going all out monster movie, and it let you frame the movie in a slightly better light....

TheSTALKERseries has a long, complicated, and extremely storied history of development. From the earliest days ofOblivion Lostall the way to the release of theopen-source port of GSC Game World’s X-Ray engine, it’s quite fascinating. How likely, though, is it thatSTALKER 2tops all that? Here’s the thing aboutSTALKER 2:the odds of it truly substituting and improving upon every single aspect of its predecessors are remarkably slim. I’ve said before that, following the latest developer deep dive, I’mwaymore keen on the state of the game than ever before....

Lord of the Nazarickis the latest addition to the world of anime gachas, and it already has a host of popular characters at launch. Base on the extremely popular Overlord series, the gacha features all the iconic characters that can found in the anime. The characters are available in different ranks, with some being rarer than the rest. As with any gacha, you’ll always want to begin in the best fashion possible (especially if you want to enjoy it free-to-play), and here’s a tier list to help you in the process....

Costumes, basically I still can’t believe thatMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Gamesexists. If you would have told my younger self that both characters would be teaming up for not one, but multiple games, includingSuper Smash Bros., I wouldn’t have believed it. But here we are, with fiveOlympicgames under Nintendo’s belt. you may get a look at the amiibo functionality in the video above, which basically amounts to cosmetic options like costumes....

Isaac the warden and Jeanne the anti-Marine One Piece: World Seekeris looking better all the time, and sounding better after the news that Bandai Namco has delayed it into 2019 for polish. All too often we see licensed anime games taken out of the oven before they’re cooked. World Seekerseems to have a considerable amount of effort dumped into it too, as it’ll be sporting at least two original characters created just for it....

‘900p docked and 720p undocked’ While Blizzard tries to seeif cross-play “makes sense”forOverwatch, they’re going full speed aheadwith the Switch port on October 15. Thanks to Blizzard communications manager Nazih Fares, we now have a few more details on what that port actually entails. First up, the basics:Overwatchwill run “smoothly” at 30FPS, and will allow for resolutions of up to 720p undocked, and 900p docked. According to Fares Iron Galaxy was the studio behind the port, who has handled several other Switch games, includingDiablo IIIfor Blizzard (they’re like Bethesda’s pocket Panic Button go-to these days)....

Check out the gallery to see Tengu Genji and everyone else.] For a while,Overwatchkept churning out events at such a rapid pace, it was fun to see what the team could come up with....

TWO HOURS If game developers create it, it will be conquered:Destiny‘s new raid Wrath of the Machine has been finished byClan Redeemtwo hours after it launched. Wrath of the Machine launched today at 1PM Eastern today, and at 3PM it became old news, dirt crumbling under the feet of Clan Redeem. I’ve only playedDestinyfor only about two hours as well, but my time was spent faffing about making a character instead of setting records and becoming newsworthy....

I hope Mewtwo isn’t a ‘cities only’ event If you’ve been playing Pokémon Go all day and night, you may have noticed a few creatures that are impossible to find — Mew, Mewtwo, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, and….Ditto? Any information about them is pure speculation, with fans noting that legendary birds might be tied to your team (Moltres for Valor, and so on), forcing players to use the eventual trade function (which hints that they might come in tandem)....
