An engine change, for one TheKingdom Heartscycle is complete — at least, the pre-release phase. People are past mocking its “darkness hearts, hearts darkness” storyline, past the “it’s never coming out” phase, and straight into excitement mode. TheToy Storytrailer pretty much captivated everyone, but now thanks to an interview with the director Tetsuya Nomura, we have a little more information on the development process and how they came to this upturn....

You should uh, probably grab it Dishonored – Definitive Editionis live on the Epic Games Store, and is arguably the last big 2022 freebie on the marketplace. The “kill or not to kill” stealth/action game was originally released in 2012 from Arkane Studios, where it rose to fame very quickly, and helped put Arkane on the map. Shortly after, it hosted some DLC in the form of theDunwall City Trials(challenge maps), and two story campaigns (Knife of Dunwall,The Brigmore Witches)....

Blizzard CEO Michael Morhaime had this to say regarding recent activity, “What I can say is that we made a large content update towards the end of Q4, each did help us out a lot on player engagement. And we expect to see increased engagement with the launch ofMists of Pandaria.” Well, he is right about that, as I’ll definitely be going back toWoWforMists of Pandaria: if only to experience the new 85-90 content....

As you know, I have been celebrating my childish love ofPokémonby posting a series of articles based on the wacky Japanese collect-a-thon franchise. This will be the last of my Poké-flavored features (for a while, at least) but I think it’s the most important one of all. Pokémon, as with all worldwide phenomena, grew larger than the sum of its parts. When the Gameboy game and TV show went global, the franchise gave rise to all manner of merchandise, spin-offs and news stories....

Some years back, there was this episode of thePokémonanime in which Ash and the gang decide to make a huge batch of Poffins, the little pastries that give Pokémon stat boosts. Naturally, Ash’s Poffins were burnt to hell, but Dawn wound up making these really appetizing-looking pink Poffins that reminded me of Hostess Snowballs. I don’t care if they are for animals; I want some, too! Shaggy eats f*ckin’ Scooby Snacks all the time, and no one gives him grief over it!...

Likely for future DLC Hajime Tabata has worked on some pretty big name games, but none are as big asFinal Fantasy XV. While it did begin life as something else entirely,XVhas blossomed into not only a mainline entry, but a complete universe in and of itself, producing countless spinoffs, DLC episodes, ports, and crossovers. If this keeps up,XVmight be Tabata’s own inescapable creation, similar to how Kojima was entwined withMetal Gearfor decades....
