Sir, You Can’t Park Your Boat Here

Ilya Dykov is a freelance artist from Belarus. One of his latest projects is The Uncertain, a game which until today I had never heard of but which looks pretty cool! It’s about a robot exploring a world where humans have all died out. Which is generally a good time. You can see more of…

The Truimphant (Digital) Return Of A Sega Legend

Project X Zone 2 is a strategy RPG that’s a little nuts. It stars characters from Mega Man, and Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry, and even Yakuza. Most excitingly, though, it will also star console mascot and personal role model Segata Sanshiro. Don’t know who that is? Here’s a primer. And a video. Video…

Why League Of Legends Won’t Add ‘Two For One’ Characters Like Dota 2’s

One odd thing that sets League of Legends apart from Dota 2 and Heroes of the Storm is the fact that the other games have “characters” who aren’t actually a single character. Rather, they’re a cluster of individual units controlled RTS-style. A Riot designer now says we shouldn’t expect anything like that for League The…

Pokémon Go Could Be Amazing (And Maybe A Bit Dangerous)

The words “alternate reality game” were the last thing some hardcore Pokémon fans wanted to hear last night. I understand why. It’s a spin-off. It’s on mobile. You can’t play from the comfort of your own home. And yet! Pokémon Go could be the shot in the arm that the monster-collecting series needs. The key…

A Glimpse At League Of Legends’ New System For Reforming Toxic Players

Now they’ve finally given a sneak peek at how this new type of instant feedback will work. The new reform cards went live on League of Legends’ public beta environment last…
