This is nothing new though... Nintendo’s been hiding secret stuff like this since at least Link’s Awakening. Honestly I feel like they’d be doing themselves more of a service if they followed through with their ideas and created something truly original, instead of coming up with 90% of a great new concept then just…

I’m not as wary of Creation Club as I was of paid mods on Steam. If they use it as a quality control vector, keep the number of signed mods relatively small and manage the pricing and content appropriately, perhaps even providing support for resources like voice acting, it can be a worthwhile pursuit.

The name “Xbox One” is becoming ironic again.

Having read Jason’s Andromeda article, I can’t help but feel as if that game suffered so that this one could thrive. If that’s the case, it hurts more because a clone of a vapid lood-grinding game is the last thing I wanted to see from Bioware.

Destiny-type MMO-hybrid lootathon is not what I was hoping for from Anthem. And more open worlds? Sigh. On the other hand, more Ori has me very excited (and a bit tearful thinking about the last one).

They said “Teraflop”, time to drink. And why are there people chanting “Yeah!” in the background?

Well, glad i skipped the EA conference.

Microsoft made that so, so easy for Sony.

So is Sims 4 better value than Sims 3 yet? I really didn’t see the point of it at launch because it was basically a crappier version of essentially the same game.

I’m not gay and I don’t often RP gay characters, but I would completely have gone for Jaal had he been available on my first playthrough. Rolled a lady Ryder afterwards for that purpose and was not disappointed.

Real talk to Sony now: if I could play on PS4 my library of PSone classics that I bought for PS3, they will have sold me a console. PS4's library and exclusives are enticing, but that’s not enough to justify a generation leap when, as a PC user, I already have access to free online use, a lifetime supply of…

While I don’t really object to people having or showing cleavage, since it’s something most people either have and/or appreciate, My beef here is that the new image looks very muddy indeed. That could just be down to your sources Mr Ashcraft, but the original looks much crisper by comparison.

Lego island was an important part of my childhood, so I’m ecstatic to see it get some love. I was seven when my parents got it for me; it must have been something like my third video game ever.

For context, short jingles commonly play in Japanese subway stations.

Glad to hear you like the game, Luke; I’m having a lot of fun with it. It’s the kind of game I find myself gushing over and telling friends to play.

That’s a good one; it was a much less interesting bluish backdrop when I saw it.

I hadn’t even heard of Arms until just now.

I’m amazed I ever listen to Osbourne’s music (and I often do), since he’s got to be one of the worst rock/metal vocalists ever to pick up a mic.

Good article Cecilia, but I can’t match your cynicism on this one. We’ve been fighting to get more inclusive games that are about more than the archetypal white male protagonist and his flighty damsels for years. So if a diverse cast and optimistic setting was a marketing decision, and that’s what sells games like…

I used to frequent a hostel in Asakusabashi; it’s a pretty nice area. Busy but also relaxed when you want it to be.
