Plantin’ seeds and killin’ baddies Cosmochoriais aKickstarter success storythat is now about to see the light of day. It’s a mix of exploration and tower defense all wrapped up in a warming, yet occasionally stressful package. There’s a strong sense of wonderment to the randomly generated universe, and the art style is totally cute. My time withCosmochoriaat PAX East brought a huge smile to my face, and if it wasn’t for an upcoming appointment, I would have played for probably an entire hour or so!...

Retro-bit has announced what they have next in their line of retro re-issues;Eliminate Downfor the Genesis/Mega Drive. Pre-orders will run from today Jul 08, 2025 to June 29, 2025. I know, Eliminate Down sounds like a weird medical term for a bowel movement, and it doesn’t help that you may not have heard of it before. It was only released on the Mega Drive in Japan and South Korea, and it’s believed that the production run only consisted of a few thousand units....

These guys have good taste It may not be as enthralling (or wacky) as acat cafe timeshare, but Funktronic Labs has something it wants to sell me. You see, these two guys heard I was wandering around GDC last week with a satchel full of money, just looking to fund something. Opportunistic as they are, they tried talking me into two all-time gaming classics. So, the developers of the absolutely swell-lookingNova-111and I rode an escalator — an escalator that could lead to the promise land or to theboulevard of broken dreams....

But you’ve probably never heard of him We’ll spoil Evan Amos’ awesome story,found here on Gamasutra. Wikipedia is what makes him the most popular gaming photographer. If you’ve ever looked up any gaming related hardware on Wikipedia, there’s a good chance you’ve seen Amos’ work. And with Wikipedia being an information source for so many, Amos’ work has since spread to the far reaches of the internet. In this bloghe explains that he was annoyed by the low-quality, inconsistent photography found on Wikipedia....

Last week, Capcombrought us wordthat Excella will be a playable character inResident Evil 5: Gold Edition’sMercenaries Reunion mode. Excella, if you don’t remember, is the second hottest piece of ass (first being blond/psycho Jill Valentine) to appear in aResident Evilgame. She also kind of looks like Eva Mendes. She’s as beautiful as she is deadly. Not only that, she likes to play around with her enemies before killing them. Like a Killer Whale....

You’ll have to wait a bit to chase them chickens It appears as ifFable Anniversarywon’t be hitting your disc tray until February 2014, as the game has beenpushed back a bit. No reason has been given for the delay, but my guess is it’s to avoid the saturated holiday push for the Xbox One and PS4 and all the games that come with it. While you wait, “top secret” announcements have been teased, and developers will be answering questions live over Twitter today from 12:00-1:00 PM EST, so followTed TimminsandCraig Omanif you want a hand in that....

In that disheveled grove with caravan parts and slave cages, I chose to spare the brigand. I didn’t want to. My urge to destroy him was restrained by my desire to be the good guy.Fable II’s portrayal of good is about conscientious choice and sacrifice. Resisting vengeance for time lost and virtual lives destroyed, as I demonstrated, is an easy choice. Accepting the fate of something you love for the greater good is a different story....

Born without a butthole I really thought this was going to be worse. Hearing about 2004’sFallout: Brotherhood of Steelin the years sinceFallout 3introduced console players to the franchise, I thought it was going to be an abomination. IfFallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel(don’t get them confused) is the series’ black sheep, then surelyFallout: Brotherhood of Steelwas the sibling that died early because it wasborn without a butthole. I was led to believe it was a barely related cash-in made by people who paid no care to the license it was based on....

Whether you’re a fan of thePokémon Trading Card Game,Magic: The Gathering, orLorcana, chances are that you’ve run into a scalper or two while exploring the TCG community.

WithFinal Fantasy XIVmaintenance scheduled to begin today, many players are trying to cram in some last-minute weekly tasks before servers go offline for their usual short window. However, thanks to a DDoS attack, players in every Data Center region are facing major issues and disruptions. DDoS attacks happen to all MMOs from time to time, andFinal Fantasy XIVis certainly no stranger to them. The last one happened on April 12, with others hitting the online Final Fantasy in March and December....

It’s finally happened. It took a while, and I’m pretty sure we took a wrong turn somewhere near Albuquerque, but Flixist is live and rolling, waiting for you to head over there and read it. I’m immensley proud of the staff and everyone involved for getting it up and running, and we’ve got a lot of amazing stuff in store for you. But maybe you haven’t heard of Flixist yet. That’s cool too....

Free for all The burgeoning “battle royale” sub-genre is about to get another entrant. Coming from Focus Home Interactive and some of the devs behind theS.T.A.L.K.E.R.series, this post-apocalyptic first-person shooter will take place in Chernobyl and pit players not only against 99 other players, but the wasteland itself. Much like theS.T.A.L.K.E.R.series, there will be anomalies and mutated beasts roaming around and hunting players. There will also be a day-night cycle in the game, which makes me think matches will be going on for far longer thanPUBGorFortnite....
