Okay Haha, okay. So,Super Hexagon, a game from 2012, just got an update on iOS. It’s the new “2.0” version, and it makes the game run smoother, presumably a fix for the larger screens as of late. It’s an all across the board improvement, which includes a better frame rate, retina support, and sharper visuals. An Android update is unannounced. I haven’t thought about this one in a while (I didn’t really get the obsession with this, I just went back to playing Cavanagh’s ownVVVVVVfor the 20th time), but I may check out the 2....

Square Enix has already committed to three more DLC releases, the first of which will focus on the main-story adversary Ardyn. They’ll release throughout the year.

Looks hard, like I am after watching this trailer RememberDeath’s Gambit? I didn’t, but apparentlyI posted its reveal trailerearly last year. Now we are getting a peek at some of the massive bosses we’ll have to kill as Death’s agent. Boss fights look a bitDark Souls-like as they seem to require blocking with precise timing of attacks.

A new version will arrive in September After a few weeks of disappointment and controversy regarding certain Kickstarter projects, it’s maybe worth reminding ourselves of some of the successful ones. Shadowrun Returnswas a really well received game from last year and now its main expansion,Dragonfallwill be receiving a stand-alone Director’s Cut. I enjoyedDragonfallmore than the main game because of some small improvements, like the save anywhere function and a more well-rounded cast of characters....

Sonic fans have been frantic these last while because of an unofficialSonic UnleashedPC port making the rounds. If one single person was able to bring the game over from Xbox 360 to PC, how come the company is not interested? That may be seen as a symptom of the Japanese company’s often complicated relationship with conversions. What happened over the years? The 90s and the first Sonic ports by SEGA There was a time, now quite far away, when Sega was very jealous of its properties, thus having little to no interest in converting their games to other platforms....
