Man there’s nothing like the feeling of commanding a squadron of Pikmin, is there? Over the course of two games, Nintendo’s too-cute strategy franchise has given you armies of multicolored plant creatures to mess around with. The little guys are so helpful and adorable that it tends to feel really bad when some of them…
Video game gatherings come in a few different flavors. GDC, as the name implies, is mostly for game developers and exists most as a professional networking/workshop space. The medium’s biggest hype machine is E3, where developers, marketers, press and select fans spread the excitement about upcoming games. But IndieCade—which has happened for the last few…

It makes a weird sort of sense that Paolo Pedercini would hate on the modern era of sports games. The man behind the Molleeindustria catalog makes cutting anti-establishment games like Phone Story and Unmanned, experiences that put players in deeply exploitative and uncomfortable realities. But for his latest creative effort, Pedercini took on something else…
Xbox Live has been known to inadvertently leak stuff before it’s supposed to, most recently with Halo 4 and the Karateka re-make.

Lots of retro-styled platformers can be found in the Games section of Apple’s App Store. Most of them play like crap. Developers can ape the look and sound of old-school jump-and-shoot games, but that amounts to nothing if control doesn’t feel right. Mutant Mudds gets all of the above—music, visuals and game feel—perfectly right. Players…
Mega Man is a saint to legions of fans, martyred because of the sins of an apparently clueless parent company. To fans of Capcom’s robotic hero, the lack of a Mega Man game for so many years is proof that the Japanese publisher is evil. The past weekend’s announcement of the free, fan-developed Street Fighter…

It sort of seemed that Remember Me popped up out of nowhere (despite actually having been shown before) when Capcom screened it at GamesCom this year.

The latest teaser for Zack Snyder’s update on the saga of the Last Son of Krypton looks incredibly moody. Christopher Nolan is producing on this film and hopes are high that it repeats the success of Nolan’s Batman movies.
The challenge Gearbox faces in making Aliens: Colonial Marines is twofold. First, since this is an authorized product, they need to make a game that seamlessly slides into Aliens continuity.
