    Blizzard Confirms it is Working on Multiple New IPs, But You Might Never See Them

    Why does that statement make my eyes roll? Our pipeline is in a better position? Sounds like someone trying hard. "We have a good group working on things." "We have several ideas we're tossing around." "There's plenty of great things in development." There's a much more simply way to say that...

    Nintendo: Retailers Will Start Taking Super NES Classic Pre-orders Late This Month

    Pre-order sounds nice and all, but can we really trust Nintendo? Will there be enough units shipped overall? I've rarely seen software shortages, I pre-order a game I've gotten the game. Even when I haven't pre-ordered they're plenty of the regular stock. But when you talk about hardware, things...

    Perfect World and Cryptic Studios Are Making a Magic: the Gathering MMO

    As much as I liked/played MtG I don't know all that much of the lore and history. I knew the basics of each element/class and which ones I liked. The pictures on the cards were cool and some interesting quotes too. All in all the makings of an MMORPG can be found anywhere if one looks hard...

    Microsoft Renews Scalebound Trademark, Causing Rumors that it May Salvage the Game

    My heart still weeps from that tragedy of a redesign. It's like the GTA vs Saint's row argument; one tries to be more realistic while the other embraces the silly. Not saying GTA is bad overall (Gotta say IV was rather bland looking), but gotta admit Saint's row has a certain energy to it.(but...

    Grab Your Key in our Faeria Battle Chest Giveaway Right Here

    I've played this game before, and imho it's better than most. Rather than a straight CCG it has a tactics aside from just powerful cards/combos = win. Placing land and cards strategically can make even a weak card the winning play.

    #008: Hunting

    This has happened to me. After taking down a bot, I spot an animal and the chance of getting that oh so elusive skin to upgrade my pouch. And so I take aim and shoot; boom. Just a slight oversight on my part. I think PA did a similar comic not long ago. Anyone playing game understands and won't...

    Bloodstained For Wii U Canceled in Favor of Nintendo Switch

    The fact they stopped production on the WiiU itself is a good reason for them to cancel that version. I'm sure that they have a count of those that ordered that version, and found it lacking. Otherwise they'd have many angry fans on their hands. Since that's not the case I don't see much problem...

    Here's The Crappy Reward That You'll Get When You Find All 900 Korok Seeds in Breath of the Wild

    It's rather interesting in a way. Someone mentioned you don't even need 900 to complete the upgrade of your character, and yet there are that many available. Were extra placed just so they would be easier to find? But if that's the case why create a reward for finding them all? If they really...

    Starting a New Character in Nioh Could Cost You Your Old Save Game

    My thoughts exactly. iirc it's like 10k gold which isn't alot from the rate in which I've seen it drop. Starting over also would have you fight thought the prologue level again which anyone could do without.

    8 Movies With the Best Twist Endings

    Here, here. Aside from the twists (and there are afew) I enjoyed the dialogue of the film. I was surprised no mention Momento. While many sing it's praise for it's strange format (it plays backwards in chunks) it holds quite the twist of an ending. Another interesting film is Suicide Kings.

    Ubisoft Giving Away Beyond Good & Evil for Free for the Next Month

    Imagine my surprise when I found out I have an account on that site. Shame I missed out on Prince of Persia and Rayman. Guess I'll pay more attention in the future

    Zero Punctuation: Capcom Five

    After seeing that comment I had to search Youtube for some gameplay footage. Yup, it does look like Vanquish. I'd say it's Bayonetta meets Vanquish the way the girl poses and gyrates as she shoots. Interesting to say the least.

    New No Man's Sky Patch Released, Loads of Bugs Fixed

    While I had some interest in No Man's Sky, I didn't pre-order or buy first day. After that first week said interest diminished. I was thinking it was a one man Star Trek, but seems I was wrong.

    Update: PS4 Slim to be Announced Alongside Neo at Sony's September Event

    For most smaller is better. But is it really? I don't mind either way, but since I already have a PS4 not going to drop it for the slim. As for the Neo I'm in the same boat. I have a PC to upgrade, don't need the same with my consoles. I don't own a Xbox One so the S is now on my list. In this...

    PlayStation 4 Slim's New Controller Redesign Leaked

    Not a huge difference, but a noticeable one. If/when my current dualshock plays out I might pick one up. But not going to run out to grab one. Never bought into the whole "stylized" controller since the majority of my play time is spent looking at the screen and not my hands. Overall just a way...
