What? It’s on iOS but not Android? Inconceivable! The Princess Brideis one of my all-time favorite movies. I have probably seen it a couple dozen times over the years. I have never thought that it would be great if I could play touch-based minigames based on the film. Regardless,The Princess Bride – The Official Gameis now out for iOS devices. The game takes four scenes from the rising action of the movie and translates them into simple touch minigames; players won’t need six fingers on one hand to maneuver....

Weapon of Choiceis a new 2D run-and-gun shooter birthed from the mind of Nathan Fouts, weapon designer onResistance: Fall of Manand boss programmer onRatchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. Though the game definitely lacks the budget of those PS3 hits, it certainly doesn’t lack any of the creativity. I’ve played a lot of 2D shooters in my day, but I’ve never seen a weapon quite like the jet pack/bazooka utilized in the video above....

Usable in the open world, DLC, and Arcade solo maps Ubisoft is rolling out anotherFar Cry 5update this week and it has one of the few things capable of getting me back into the game: a photo mode. Animals do the strangest stuff in Hope Country, Montana, and photo mode will let me roam in a third-person view to capture the perfect angle. You’ll have access to settings like time of day, field of view, filters, frames, and you can also change your character’s facial expression....

A month after the Japanese launch Fighting game fans will have to wait just a little longer forGranblue Fantasy: Versus, the latest attention-grabber from Arc System Works. It’s launching in North America on June 26, 2025. The European release date hasn’t been confirmed yet. One of my favorite aspects of fighting games is when they have fleshed-out story modes that aren’t just a series of samey one-on-one battles.Versushasa side-scrolling RPG story modewith leveling, gear, and abilities – exactly the sort of thing that can help rope in “every once in a while” fighting fans....

Remember that memory we remembered? This promotion, I find, is a little more unique; Capcom is asking you to submit pictures of your “most cherished memories” along with why they mean so much to you. According to Capcom, they will then randomly select a bunch of the images and have them placed in the game where they will make appearances during a Memory Overload sequence. You can post your submissions over on thegame’s Facebook page; it’ll be interesting to see what people decide to submit, but I can’t shake the feeling that a lot of them are going to be wedding photos....

Not exactly The gap between Steam and GOG.com has further widened now that Valve has embraced the sale of work-in-progress games under its Early Access program while the latter digital distributor has continued to focus on curating finished releases. Will GOG.com follow suit? “We’re obviously looking at it,” CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski toldEurogamer. Commenting on Steam’s approach to distribution, he said “it’s fine, it works extremely well for them and some developers, but it has threats like the one of bad Early Access games....

Rise up from the slime, mud, and pools of body oil because a threat has emerged and all you need to know is that they don’t like video games! But while we prepare the coconut-infused body oil of war, here’s what’s happening in video games, to remind you why they’re worth fighting for: With that crudely drawn, fedora-wearing loser now in his place, we’ve stumbled on a whole new batch of odd-hat-wearing folks that deny science!...

An unexpected cameo We need some help settling a little office uncertainty: Does this trailer for Smilegate’sCrossfireXtease aMetal Gear SolidWalker Gear at the end of it?Here’s the timestamped link. On one hand, the trailer makes a point of going out with a bang, ending on this extremely quick moving biped machine advancing on a Humvee. On the other,Metal Geardidn’t invent the idea. This could just be some generic Gundam/anime shit....
