Uh, I believe it! This week Geoff Keighley, as he does, got us hyped up for theSuper Monkey Ball Banana Maniareveal. It’s his job! But using the phrase“you won’t believe who’s next to join”had me thinking it was a crossover of sorts, perhaps reaching across the aisle to Sony, Microsoft, or some IP likeCrash Bandicoot. Nope, it’s Morgana fromPersona 5. Look, I do believe it! Sega owns Atlus, it’s their IP, and Morgana fits the cute bill: it’s super easy to slot over a few aspects from that series likeJack Frostand the like without having to convey the heavy/dark themes ofPersona....

Coming to PS4 next year While, maybe, I won’t find corroboration in my headline, those are the allusions I was drawn to playing the newly announced game from Sony Santa Monica and Plastic (Linger in Shadows,Datura),Bound. You play as a ballerina, which brings with it an almost initially off-putting aloofness and elegance. Think the White Swan fromBasically Perfect Blue.

Our own Johnathan Holmes has afew suggestionsabout how to fix the issue, but Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has a bit of an easier solution: lower expectations. After discussing the poorAvatarsales on a company conference call, Guillemot was asked about expectations for the upcoming sequel to their terrible Wii FPS....

I’m a total sucker for absurd facts and statistics vaguely rooted in videogames. As such, I felt obligated to post some coolJust Cause 2figures that were sent our way. First off, the 30-minute demo for the game has reached 2 million downloads. No kidding. It’s easily one of the better demos in recent memory. A nice accomplishment by Avalanche Studios, no question, but where’s the crazy. Oh,here it is: “Players have driven a distance equivalent to a trip from the earth to the moon and back four times; Panau Island has lost almost 30 million of its population (with approximately 2....

Pop shove-it into your eyeholes Yep, that looks like aTony Hawkgame all right. There are highly technical tricks on absurdly dangerous terrain. Grinding that increases speed instead of decreasing it. Just the right amount of jank in aerial maneuvers, as if skaters can slightly tweak parabolic projectile motion when they need to. “Come on, gravity. Lay off a little and let me float just a bit longer for this flip trick animation to complete....
