With win/win/win, we all win WB is the crown pri(n)ce of definitive editions. I can’t count the amount of times people have said “I’ll wait for the Game of the Year version” for their releases, and right on schedule,like Merry and pints,Middle-earth: Shadow of Waris getting one. Available on August 28 for 60 bucks, this version will pack in all of the DLC, including the two major story campaigns that we conveniently reviewedhereandhere....

For $14.99 Guruminwas one of the best games I played last year. Owing itself to a number of classic PS1 era titles likeBrave Fencer Musashi, it was a joy from top to bottom. It helps that it was released all the way back in 2007 on PSP internationally (in 2004 on PC in Japan), but quite a few folks experienced it for the first time in 2015. Now it’s coming to 3DS in the near future, and even though it doesn’t have a release date yet, publisher Mastiff has confirmed a pricepoint of $14....

Remember the 5 D’s of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge I have spent an absurd amount of time withKnockout Cityover the past few months. In a year full of pleasant surprises and blockbuster hits, it’s the game I keep coming back to. I even deleted it off my Xbox Series S to keep me from playing it so much, but that didn’t last too long before I was itching again for that “dodgebrawl” action....

Tactical Lu Bu Koei Tecmo has announced that it will be returning to the strategy genre next year withRomance of the Three Kingdoms XIV. Currently in development for PC and PS4, this newest entry will be yet another retelling of the legendary “Three Kingdoms” story and feature all of the grand tactics and massive battlefields that this series is known for. Instead of simply being iterative, though,XIVwill be mixing and matching features from past games to make the ultimateRomance of the Three Kingdomsexperience....

Rememberthat time we reportedthat Calvin “Megatron” Johnson was going to be on the cover ofMadden 13? Well now EA has something to show for it, as the game’s official boxart has been revealedvia Facebook. I would have rather had Cam “Superman” Newton, but alas, at least 4% of you felt otherwise. As for the game itself, as much as people knock on sports titles, there’s nothing quite like creating fantasy leagues with your friends over some ice cold beers — it’ll be fun poppingMadden 13into my disc drive again this year....

You knew it would happen Turn-based tactical gameMassive Chalicehas been well-received on Kickstarter. After a solid performance by Double Fine’s previous crowdfunding attemptBroken Age, that’s hardly surprising. With 23 days remaining before the campaign closes, the company has broken its initial funding goal of $725,000. Even as someone who doesn’t frequently get into turn-based titles like this, they do sometimes click with me in a serious way, and this has the potential to do exactly that....

Hopefully it comes west Ah, Japanese My Nintendo. The apple of my eye. While we’re stuck with a mostly wet blanket of a website (most of the rewards arestill3DS and Wii U offers), Japan relies on a mightier service, providing physical rewards, among man other perks, like the Club Nintendo legends of old. Now the region is getting an even bigger upgrade in the form of a My Nintendo app....

An awesome endless runner/flyer coming this May After hitting their Kickstarter, Flippfly Games was all set to bring their browser game to the PC, Mac, Linux, and mobile platforms. Essentially, it’s an endless runner style game, that tasks your ship with outrunning the sun as you fly over dangerous terrain and obstacles. I dubbed it “Tiny WingsmeetsStar Fox” which the lead designer said was an apt comparison. If you look at some of the promotional material for the game, it might look pretty barren and bland....

And then Treasurenauts is next, right? Since the release ofTotes the Goatin 2015, developer Atooi and its founder, Jools Watsham, have really made the most out of the game’s simple, but lovely, voxel graphics. The same art style has found its way into subsequent Atooi titles likeSoccer SlammersandKnight Fright, both of which provided some arcade-friendly action to Switch and mobile gamers. Next year, the developer is looking to give players something a bit more substantial withPetadachi....

Mini-review: You may want to wait for an eventual bundle Yesterday,Planet Zoogot the first of surely many DLC packs to come. This first paid add-on –the Arctic Pack– makes a great impression up front. There’s just one problem: it’s over before you know it. Fans have been clamoring for more animals, and polar bears were a big bullet point on the wishlist. The DLC also adds three other habitat species – the Dall sheep, Arctic wolf, and reindeer – along with a couple hundred bits of scenery and two new story scenarios that tie the whole frigid theme together....

Rock hard tasty abs Chiptunes are cool and all, but you know me — I gotta have that little extra edge. When chip music emulatesface-melting metal, it’s one of the nine most beautiful things in the world (maybe some day I’ll tell you what the other eight are). Diad is a power union of Canadian and American talent between chip artists Heosphoros and Tadpole. Theirself-titled albumrecalls hard rockin’ soundtracks of the NES era, such as Sunsoft’sBatmanandJourney to Silius, or even the more recentRetro City Rampage....
