E3 08: Sega Blowout: Madworld

When Chadlet us knowabout the upcoming Wii gameMadworldlast month, I was honestly pretty surprised. A violent, black and white game where you’re able to paint the environment with the crimson red blood of your foes didn’t sound like something that would be coming to Nintendo’s little white waggle box. I’m certainly glad it is, though. Sega has released some new screens today, along with a bit of new information. It turns out that Jack, the main character, is stuck in some sort of death game called Death Watch that is organized by a terrorist group know as the Organizers....

Gonner was hands down my favorite game at PAX East 2016

Weird, cute, weirdly cut A roguelike platformer where you’re trying to find trinkets to cheer up your only friend — that just happens to be a giant, land-bound whale named Sally — was my favorite game at PAX East this year. Are you surprised? How can something with such a cute premise not win over my heart? Playing as Ikk, you’ll be running through procedurally-generated levels that are seemingly drawn on the screen as you move, meaning the level in all directions will be invisible until you get closer to it....

Here are the differences between the three Shovel Knight platforms

3DS, PC, and Wii U Althoughour reviewis for the Wii U version ofShovel Knight, I had a chance to test out all three versions — and since all three platforms are utterly different in nature, it can be pretty tough to decide between them. Here’s the rundown on the 3DS, PC, and Wii U versions. On 3DS, the 3D isn’t overstated, and provides a pretty nice effect. It’s certainly not required, nor does it feel like the primary platform, but in a few levels in particular it makes the obstacles a bit more pronounced....

How long is the Elden Ring Erdtree DLC? A full breakdown

TheElden Ring ErdtreeDLC was a blast (read all about it here!), and blew my expectations away. But how much stuff are you getting for your $40? As it turns out, a lot. Let’s break it down.

Think of it like a gigantic map, with a large degree of player agency in terms of where you may go....
