It has skyrocketed to the top of my radar, at least That’s my hope, anyway.Cupheadis one of those games I feel bad for not noticing sooner. Sporting a remarkable sense of style and animation, this looks to represent the best of the run-and-gun genre, with developer Studio MDHR citing influences likeGunstar Heroes,Contra Hard Corps,and the Mad Hatter boss fight inBatman & Robin. These people know their stuff. “WithCuphead, we aim to evolve the genre by adding new features such as: super arts, infinite lives, a playable world map and hidden secrets,” writes the team....

But is it too late for Blizzard? As someone who played a metric ton ofDiablo IIIat launch, I made my way to the PAX booth pretty quickly to ask some questions about the console port. The first thing I wanted to find out is the existence of the Real Money Auction House — a question that was answered with a resounding “no,” confirmed by a Blizzard representative. Additionally, there will be less loot drops for uncommon items so items don’t clutter the screen....

Before I go any further, know that I have playedRock Band 2and it is — as expected — the sequel toRock Band. That is to say that as anunashamedRock Band fanboy (I play once a day, minimum), I wouldn’t have taken much (although there is, indeed, much). But I’m not here to talk about the game (that’ll come later). As I’ve already admitted to being a snorting, mouth-breathingRock Bandnerd, I geeked out equally over some of the personalizedRock Bandmerchandise Harmonix are going to allow players to spend their cash on....

To ‘address our challenges’ Electronic Arts has laid off a substantial number of employees, reducing its total workforce by four percent. For the 9,000-employee publishing giant, this amounts to approximately 350 people who are left without jobs. This follows a particularly “difficult quarter” whereEA saysit “did not perform to [its] expectations.” According toKotaku, it’s mostly the marketing, publishing, operations, and analytics departments that are affected. People in marketing have reportedly expected something along these lines for a while now, as EA had placed a freeze on hiring and travel months ago....

Have you ever licked dirt? It ain’t all that bad. Games are often too hectic with all that blood, gore and babies crawling out of a dead woman’s nipples (thanks,Dante’s Inferno). Sometimes I consider taking up another hobby like gardening, or magic mushrooms. Unfortunately both of those involve going outside and soEarthtongueis here to save the day. Earthtongue’sa game by indie developer Eric Hornby where you lovingly tend to a garden of bugs and mushrooms on an alien planet....

It’s like a game about my life The tagline forEmily is Awayis what got me to try it out. “Relive your awkward teenage years.” Sure, that sounds like a blast. It’s a short text adventure set in the early 2000s and made to look like AOL Instant Messenger. (Yes, that was my real AIM screen name in the header image.) What struck me immediately was how closely the dates mirrored my life experience....

What a time to do a producer stream! Final Fantasy XIVpatch 6.1is dated and dusted for April 12, which seems to be pretty final given that it’s less than two weeks away. Titled “Newfound Adventure,” the very real patch 6.1 (look what this day does to people!) just gota new trailer, which showcasessome of the stuff we detailed here: most notably the new main story questline (MSQ), as well as the Myths of the Realm 24-person alliance raid....

Next week: ‘Everything’ comes to Switch For somePicrossis love, it is life. For others, it’s a game series. A series that’s getting another addition on Switch next week. As per the official eShop listingPicross S2will hit Switch on August 2, alongside of a few features like an unfolding board that starts small and evolves into more boards. It’ll sport 100 boards for that mode on top of 300 other puzzles....

Though it’s a two-seater, so… Racing games often get associated with car commercials, but it’s more unusual for RPGs to get into the mix. But those madmen actually did it. And usingFinal Fantasyto boot! “The Star of Lucis”, a one-of-a-kind, custom Audi R8 Supercar, is transitioning from the world ofFinal Fantasy XVinto our much more mundane and depressing world thanks to Audi’s Japan branch. Gussied up in chrome filigree and fancy rims, the car was first seen being driven by various characters in theKingsglaive: Final Fantasy XVfilm....

IfFallout 4was set in Vvardenfell…maybe Everyone has their own opinion about which is thebestElder Scrollsgame. Many of you will immediately think ofSkyrim, which is understandable given its immense success over these past [checks notes]11 years. Older fans may be more inclined to look back at some of the more classic titles, such asMorrowind. However, as lauded asMorrowindwas (and still is), there’s one thing that may have held it back slightly. And that is you were never able to have a dog companion with you....

Abilities and talents below For months,Heroes of the Stormplayers have been clamoring for moreDiablolove. After a brief event in 2015, we’ve only gotten a few representatives from theDiablouniverse, and most of the existing cast is from the third iteration. Well, later today you’ll be able to give Cassia (the new Amazon) a test drive, in addition to thenew “2.0” betathat completely overhauls the game’s progression system. I had the chance to test Cassia out at a recent event, and although I’m not blown away, I think she’ll fulfill a comfortable niche....
