InXile’s already got one follow-up to a beloved old-school RPG underway, in the form of Wasteland 2. And now they’re getting ready to answer the dreams of fans everywhere by teasing a Kickstarter for Torment: Tides of Numenera, a game that’s the spiritual successor to acclaimed 1999 role-playing experience Planescape: Torment .

British celeb Charlie Brooker says the PS4 controller is just like your mom.
When I traded correspondence with writer David Brothers last week, I made the argument that video games needs its equivalent to Blazing Saddles. This time, I’m saying that it could use its own version of Milestone Media, the groundbreaking comics company started by a crew of black professionals. In the previous piece, we spent much…
CD Projekt Red told us they were making a new engine before they told us what it was being used for. Of course, it was pretty easy to guess that The Witcher 3 was the big mystery title that RedEngine 3 was going to power. And now we’re getting a look at the open-world that…
Well, to be fair, she’s not a real girl. It’s a cardboard cut-out of a woman, which honestly should make it even easier for Raiden to slice into multiple parts. But the smiling advertisement is magically invulnerable to the edge of Raiden’s high-frequency blade. You saw the game’s bananas final boss fight yesterday but Revengenance…
The Ouya goes out to backers on March 28. And Kellee Santiago, co-founder of thatgamecompany has joined Ouya, too.
It costs money to make things in a video game. The software needed to achieve an eye-catching aesthetic aren’t cheap and the manpower to run them costs money, too. So, when it came time to make their upcoming project Rustclad, the folks at Skull Theater took a different approach: they’re making most of the objects…
A Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate demo and Fire Emblem DLC light up this week’s Nintendo Download
A video game about memory manipulation. Simple Minds’ hit 1985 single. A pairing of Capcom’s Remember Me and “Don’t You Forget About Me” seems so stunningly obvious that a tweet from writer Jordan Garland must have come from the collective unconscious of us all: YouTuber Nixemus took that idea and made it happen and the…
I loved Thomas Was Alone, the minimalist platformer released last year by Mike Bithell. The hilarious narration, memorable characters and awesome music defied my expectations I had after first hearing about the game and I was glad to see Thomas find a home on Steam. I’m never going to stop wanting for more people to…
Remember Me, Capcom’s memory-stealing sci-fi game, comes out in North America on June 4 and in Europe on June 7.
The odds should’ve been against Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation. It starred a woman—specifically the half-black, half-French heroine Aveline du Grandpre. And it was an exclusive on the PlayStation Vita, a system that many people see as a sadly under-supported platform. But Liberation shipped a very strong 600,000 units, according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. Sure,…
If you’re here in the Panel Discussion programming block, you might be a lapsed comics reader, trying to find a way back to the JLA Satellite. Or you might someone killing time until you pick up your weekly Wednesday pull list. Or maybe you’ve said goodbye to dozens of longboxes to embrace the promise of…
Jack Kirby earned his nickname. The man known as the King of Comics drew incredibly fast, incredibly well and with incredible imagination. He had a hand in creating many of Marvel Comics’ most well-loved characters—including Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, and others—did ground-brealing work at DC Comics and also drew comics in the romance, Western…
The reboot of Tomb Raider was a big dice roll. It takes Lara Croft—one of the most recognizable characters in all of video games—and puts her back to the beginning, with a new look in a game that’s markedly different in tone. But the gamble works. In the video above, video editor Chris Person and…

I knew I wasn’t going to get any real details about Infamous: Second Son out of Sucker Punch’s Nate Fox. But I’ve been a big fan of the open-world PS3 exclusives, especially because their take on superhero action makes great use of the tight thematic bond that a superhero has with his city. Lots of…
If you grew up Catholic like me, you can only have one response to seeing the creation above: “Holy Samus, Mother of Metroid, hallowed be thy name.” Hang these translucent beauties where they can catch some sun and you might see people genuflecting. Those glowing renditions are the work of Evan Daniels, who sells his…
