Joins Cryamore and They Bleed Pixels pals in the fray C-Wars is coming. With 14 days left to go, the animations-heavy action/strategy choose-your-own-adventure game is already full funded on Kickstarter . That doesn’t mean the developers at Onipunks are resting on the laurels. They’re adding new stretch goals and features to the game all the time, like the inclusion a Shovel Knight from fellow Kickstarter success storyShovel Knight, who joins characters fromThey Bleed Pixels, Cryamore,and Wooden Sen’Sey in the crossover shenanigans....

Does this hint at a remake in the vein of DuckTales? Last month, the Brazilian ratings board DJCTQrevealedthat the SEGA Genesis platforming classicCastle of Illusionwas coming to PS3, Vita, 360, and Wii U. Now, XBLA digital box art has appeared, indicating that a formal announcement is just around the corner. Here’s where the weirdness comes in. The art is completely different compared to the original game’s cover — compare for yourself in the gallery....

Eat your heart out Timothy Olyphant So I’m a huge fan of Timothy Olyphant (basically Justified above all else), but theHitmanmovie left a lot to be desired. Enter this neat little fan video, directed and edited byMichael Shanks, that highlights variousHitmanplaystyles in real life — from the suave stealth assassin, to the chicken suit wearing balls to the wall idiot. It should get you in the mood for theHitman HD Collectionlaunching pretty soon, or a fresh playthrough ofHitman Absolution....

Over the years, we’ve seen plenty ofcrossovers withDead by Daylight. Now it’s Chucky’s turn, as the latest reveal trailer shows the killer doll from theChild’s Playfilms will make his way to Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical horror title. The trailer reveal comes courtesy ofIGN, which states Chucky becomes anotherDead by Daylightfixture on November 28. Suffice it to say, he’ll be a playable Killer, in case anyone was wondering. It also appears as though you’ll be able to customize the character “with the Good Gal outfit, inspired by Tiffany Valentine (aka the Bride of Chucky), which is voiced by Jennifer Tilly....

But seriously, this looks pretty cool I will admit: I very nearly skipped over looking into this game after seeing its unappealingly generic title. However, I urge you to not do the same.Darkest Dungeonintends to look at the idea of dungeon crawling from a more human perspective than most other games do. Rather than controlling an unwavering hero through a loot fest on the way to assured victory,Darkest Dungeonexplores themes of fear, stress, and anxiety, all of which would be thick if any of us were ever to actually explore a dungeon full of inhuman terrors....

Nintendo won’t stop supporting this game If I had to name three different Mario characters in five seconds, let me tell you, Dry Bowser wouldn’t come up. Not the first time I had that prompt, and not the twentieth. I knowofhim, sure, but he kind of just loosely exists in the far reaches of my mind. The character hasquite the lineage, though. He’s everywhere! His latest appearance– and surely not his last–isMario Tennis Aceson Nintendo Switch....

The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby Among Treeshas some of the prettiest sunrises and sunsets I’ve ever seen in a video game. I’m not sure how in the mood everyone is for anotherEarly Accesssurvival game right now, especially one as unfinished asAmong Trees, but it clicked with me. Its vibrant art direction is so endearing – so visually arresting – that I didn’t even mind the sparse mechanics, limited content, and occasional bugs....

They started withDark Souls 3, and almost quit after the first boss To quickly recap, shortly after the launch ofElden Ring, a legend was born among players. Their name isLet Me Solo Her: a user who logged in, fought the hardest boss in the game by themselves, and assisted others in getting a clear. They did it with such panache (the name, the outfit, the loadout, the tenacity) that they quickly became a meme (it’s gotten to the pointwhere they even have cosplay fans [image is semi-NSFW]) and now, they’re being honored directly by the game’s publisher, Bandai Namco, for their 1000th kill....

Laid-off worker cuts loose on former master Recently laid-off Sony PR man Will Powers hastaken to Twitterto share some views on his former bosses, questioning the company’s recent business decisions and suggesting that its big titles are being thrown to the wolves. It’s pretty stern stuff! “You have to wonder what the hell PlayStation was thinking laying off more than half of their software PR team going into the holiday season,”he said....

Naughty Dog has been pretty quiet on the gaming front this year, though the HBO series continues to be popular. According toProduction List, filming for season 2 is scheduled to begin on January 7 next year. Like the prior one, season 2 will be filmed in Canada. Production List has Craig Mazin and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann returning as producers and writers. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey also return, presumably reprising their roles as Joel and Ellie respectively....

It’s almost that time again; in October,FFXIVPatch 6.5 launches with a batch of new story beats, dungeons, glamour, and sidequests. As is tradition, Square Enix revealed its Patch 6.5, Growing Light, key art ahead of time as a teaser. TheFFXIVPatch 6.5 art accompanies itsspecial sitelaunch, detailing features headed to the game in early October 2023. Most of the patch features we already learned about during the Live Letter in July, but the key art is new and gives us a little of the tone heading into Growing Light....

Elevator: Sourcereminds me of a time back when technical limitations were more constraining, before some of today’s popular genres even existed. A team could build agame about inner tubes, or put a banjo-playing manon a box for a shmup, and that was perfectly acceptable behavior. That freedom still exists today and is tapped into by independent designers, though some would argue that the lack of limits on creativity can be paralyzing....

They’re having a contest with this guessing game; if you guess right, you get the game for free. Head toSega’s blogfor details. What do you think it is? You’d be a numb nuts to not guess it right, especially if you frequented arcades back in the day....
