Hundreds of changes What a lot of people don’t know aboutMinecraftis that its team is constantly working on evolving the game. The version that launched years back doesn’t really resemble the current state, and thankfully, most updates are massive improvements overall. That looks to be the case with the 1.9 update, which was pushed back last year for months on end. But Mojang has just announced that it’s entering the “final stage,” and that 1....

Giving a new meaning to the phrase ‘scale up a mountain’ Aside from theconversation that Jonathan had with developer Steve Swink, we haven’t done much to coverSCALE. Fortunately, the Phoenix area indie game developer groupGame CoLabput together an event at the Phoenix Art Museum this past weekend, and the ingenious first-person puzzle platformer was one of the highlights. That description ofScalemay invoke thoughts ofPortalorQuantum Conundrum, and those comparisons wouldn’t be completely off base, but after some time with the game, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it is more likeSuper Mario 64than anything else....
This week, the crew is joined by Destructoid News Editor Conrad Zimmerman to discussKingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the North American release of Xenoblade Chronicles and maybe one other videogame thing. Naturally, we spend far more time talking about how crapDonnie Darkois and how much Jonathan Holmes resembles Voldemort, The Chameleon, and anything else that’s bald or lacks facial features. On top of all this, we see a new chapter of the weekly installment that I refuse to write in text, and talk about the moral ramifications of eating Santa Claus’ dead body....
It’s been amazing to see how Sony hassystematicallystrippedawayeveryadvantagethe PS Vita had over rival systems, and today’s bit of news seems to cap it off perfectly. The PS Vita willonly let you use one PSN account per system, undermining its ability to region switch and ensuring your family can’t share it. If you want a new account, you’ll need to reset the Vita to its factory settings. You won’t be able to simply log in with a new user, like you can with the PSP....
Pretty sure this is what the inside of my brain looks like BetweenBack in 1995andBanned Memories: Yamanashi, there looks to be a resurgence in ’90s survival horror. After Steven wrote about the former almost exactly a year ago, developer Ichijou Takaaki went radio silent, though you could still faintly hear static traveling through the fog as writhing masses of flesh brushed against your ankle. Now the game has appeared onSteamwith a release date of April 28, though as of right now there’s no price....
The latest firmware update for the PlayStation 3 added 3D Blu-Ray support for the five or so people who have televisions capable of utilizing the feature. Unfortunately, it seems that there will be a bit of a trade-off in that the system does not allow for playing Blu-Ray discs in 3D and still take advantage of lossless audio. So, when you have Dolby TrueHD selected as your audio format of choice and watch Blu-ray 3D content, the audio will be output in Dolby Digital....
