Professor LaytonandAce Attorneyare unique within the puzzle/adventure genre, but both share enough in common with each other to make for a perfect crossover game. Not sinceMarvel vs. CapcomandKingdom Heartshave dedicated fans (nerds) of two major franchises had something to collectively geek out about. The slow-paced, narrative-driven puzzles, stylish atmosphere, and quirky characters of both games could be interchangeable. Level-5 and Capcom realize this and are trying to please fans of both franchises, but my time with the game left me wondering if this is one title bringing the two together or merely a two-game combo pack....

Ruling the seas as a pirate assassin I recently got to play a solid few hours ofAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagand was able to do whatever I wanted, outside of the select core missions Ubisoft wanted to specifically show off. There was a lot to do, but I wanted to focus specifically the open ocean world and how you’ll be interacting with it here. Why? Because it was easily my favorite new feature for theAssassin’s Creedseries due to it being something fresh and different....

The marketing spend isn’t worth it otherwise, says CEO FromRayman Legendslosing exclusivity to the still-apparently-happeningWatch Dogsport, Ubisoft sure has an interesting relationship with the Wii U. Speaking toPolygon, CEO Yves Guillemot said the company has a Wii U game that’s been “done for six months.” What’s the hold up? Ubisoft is “waiting for more families to have the console” before it can justify a “massive” marketing campaign for the game. Guillemot wouldn’t commit to a specific sales figure the system needs to achieve, but said the mystery project may never see release, or more likely, “it could come out on another format....

Tingle rises again Nintendo’s upcoming HD remake of the once controversial Gamecube titleThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Wakeris getting some new features, most of which remain a mystery. It looks like you can sail a bit faster, which is nice, but what I’m really hoping for is the bomb dungeon that was cut from the original release. We’ll have to wait and see on that. The one new feature that Nintendo was willing to tout is a new Tingle focused item called the “Tingle Bottle”....

It was hard to type that with a straight face Darksidersreally took me by surprise back in 2010. It kind of just…came out compliments of the now-dead Vigil Games, some of whom moved on to various studios including Gunfire, who are working on the third entry. Though many call itZelda-like in nature I really saw it as more of aSoul Reaversuccessor: even using the same heaven and hell dichotomy as part of its core narrative....

One of the better PSVR games to date For me,Battlezonewas and still is a highlight of the PlayStation VR library, albeit with the caveat that it’s best experienced with a full four-person group. The roguelike campaign structure and at times fierce difficulty both necessitate strong teamwork, and it’s also just inherently more enjoyable (and much more efficient) to blast enemy tanks, drones, and heavily-armored structures with a crew. Rebellion launched the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift versions ofBattlezonetoday on Steam....
