Along with announcing thatQuake Championsis now free-to-play,RAGE 2got an extended trailer that gave us a better look at how it’ll handle.

Spoilers: All of The AVGN Game’s ‘celebrity’ cameos

It’s like that Weezer video, but with people I know The Angry Videogame Game Nerd was one of the first to combine low-fi humility with a passion for games and irate comedy. He and his collaborators did for videogame people what the Sugar Hill Gang did for rappers. It makes sense that so many of the Youtube personalities that followed The Nerd (including a few with angry grumps) would make appearances in his debut game....

Stealthy platformer Master Spy shows promise

Confirmed: I’d be the worst spy ever TURBOGUN has a “stealth-based precision platformer”up on Steam GreenlightcalledMaster Spythat’s looking for approval, but more importantly, there’s a free in-browser demo ahead of a full release in 2014. You shouldtry it outif words like “precision” don’t sound overly frightening in the context of platform games centered around not being seen. Failure is practically inevitable here. The game is broken down into individual rooms, most of which seem to be more about executing your plan of attack than actually solving the “puzzle” of how to traverse the environment safely and swiftly....

The Daily Hotness: Blistering barnacles

Check out everything Destructoid did today The funny thing about good game design is that many of the elements that work really brilliantly never actually get noticed. Today Hamish Todd took a really close look at one of the less discussed creatures in theHalf-Lifeseries: the barnacles. It’s a really interesting analysis and you should totally read it. Otherwise, another Podtoid episode came out, some kids had unexpected/awkward reactions to opening Christmas gifts, and a bit more happened today on Destructoid....

The first issue of Mega Man Mastermix, a colorized version of Megamix, is out this week

Hitoshi Ariga is the man I have every trade paperback forMega Man Megamix, if only because of the artwork. Hitoshi Ariga originally created this style back in 1997, and its raw staying power led to a US localization of the manga in 13 years later. Ariga has a way with the series, adding an air of familiarity to it, while completely re-imagining characters in some cases (Skull Man in particular). If you haven’t read it yet, it deals with a new storyline based on the games, starting with the birth of Mega Man....
