This post brought to you by the letter “P.” During their press conference, Sony just revealed a brand new platformer for the PlayStation 3 calledPuppeteer. Looking very similar in style toLittleBigPlanet, the game is a very solid-looking 2D platformer with a unique mechanic: Using different heads to gain special powers (seriously, the boy-turned-puppet main character removes his head and replaces it with others), players are tasked with navigating through gorgeous stages, solving puzzles, and defeating massive bosses armed only with a pair of scissors....

Goatvania in gameplay and music! Escape Goat 2looks bettereach timeI see it. I got some new hands-on at GDC Next in Los Angeles where I caught a glimpse of the beautiful new forest and cathedral areas as well as got to hear some work-in-progress music, which was one of the highlights of the original game.

Surprisingly motivational One thing I don’t see discussed often in regards to exercise is the high price tag involved with intense workouts. Although you can find a local gym for fairly cheap and get fit on your own, getting to the next level sometimes requires hiring a physical trainer, joining classes, or ordering routines — which can get extremely expensive. So I was really skeptical when Microsoft announced thatXbox Fitnesswould offer free workouts that are normally on the pricey side — like P90X and Insanity....

How to treat nasal infection naturally In principle, wikiHow is a great resource. Everyday people can use it to learn new skills. We can educate ourselves on basic ideas without the embarrassment of publicly admitting we don’t already know them. In practice, it makes for some weird articles. There are those aimed at sociopaths likeHow to Express Love. There are those aimed at people with a loose grip on reality likeHow to Cast a Love Spell....

Well, director Shinya Kumazaki thinks that maybe thingswere a little too intenseat the end there.IGN spoke to Kumazaki at GDC, and he had some really interesting things to say about the difficulty curve as a whole. On the concept of difficulty, he notes: “When you’re thinking about maybe your childhood experience playing video games, there might have been games where you just feel like it’s impossible to beat because it’s so difficult....

Garfield addresses the matter frankly Regardless of how well it was designed, I was always dubious of Valve’s plans forArtifact. Given that it had595 peak players in the last 24 hours, I’m not sure what the plan is in general going forward. After reaching a booming 60,740 all-time peak player count following a boisterous launch,Artifacthas been steadily bleeding players for the past four months. It wasn’t looking too good for the game and based on a recent development involving designer Dr....

Relatively speaking, of course Ourdisdainforseason passesiswell-documentedaround here. Too many publishers look to turn $60 worth of revenue into $100 by way of a $40 mystery season pass. We rarely know how the base game will end up, but consumers are routinely asked to double down on their excitement and blind faith by almost doubling their investment ahead of release. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakensis an offender in that it has a season pass, but it’s a relatively minor offender....
