UncategorizedNew Shin Megami vs Fire Emblem Trailer Is A Hot JRPG Mess
That’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s a wonderful, wonderful thing. Today, Nintendo released a new trailer for Genei Ibun Roku, otherwise known as Fire Emblem x SMT. The trailer is ridiculous, in the best way possible. You’ve got teens, you’ve got idols, singing, and dancing, you’ve got mythical creatures, you’ve got fashion, you’ve…

I Can’t Stop Playing Fallout Shelter
Last night before hitting the sack I set two alarms. One so that I could wake up this morning and come to work, like I always do. Another, so I could wake up at 4am: that’s when my vault dweller was supposed to return home. Alright, I’ll admit it. I’m…kind of addicted to Bethesda’s new…

UncategorizedConan Plays Halo 5 Against Silicon Valley Cast, Fails Gloriously
Somebody should have warned Conan O’Brien about the gaming force that is Silicon Valley’s Thomas “Middletwitch” Middleditch. The talk show host never stood a chance. I don’t know about TJ Miller or Zach Woods, but Middleditch can regularly be foundon Twitch showing off his skills on just about every sort of game imaginable, from strategy-intensive…

All of this shiny new, far in the future Final Fantasy stuff from E3 2015 is great, but those of us with massively multiplayer leanings have more immediate concerns, like next week’s launch of the first major expansion for Final Fantasy XIV.

UncategorizedEverything We Know About Nintendo’s Experimental New Star Fox
The new Star Fox game for Wii U is an unusual mix of old and new, a game that sometimes feels like a remake and other times like a radical experiment. The game’s developers at Nintendo and—surprise—Platinum recently broke it all down for me. Despite the “zero” in the name, Star Fox Zero does not…

UncategorizedOur First Glimpse Of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided In Action
Today Square Enix debuted the first in-game footage of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. As expected, it’s cyberpunk as fuck. The trailer is heavy on three things: 1) action, 2) the color black, 3) the color gold. The first part is a bit off-putting (Deus Ex is about out-sneaking and/or out-smarting, damn it), but it does…

Today Square Enix showed off new footage from Kingdom Hearts III. As you might expect, it looks stellar. As you also might expect, there’s still no release date or even a release year—the trailer just says “Now in development,” which is just what they said back at E3 2013. Welp.
