Flotsam is an upcoming town-builder on PC set in a desolate future where everything has sunk beneath the waves. Players are left to scrounge the surface (and the depths) for construction materials, while avoiding things that are trying to trash your floating settlement. This could be a total downer, but developers Pajama Llama have wisely…
Blizzard is selling a $200 replica of Genji’s sword, and anyone willing to practice with the blade while everyone else plays Overwatch will at least find it full of techy features.

With adventure studio Telltale closing up, former employees are starting to share and upload all kinds of stuff from their time with the company.

The newest episode of YouTube show Boundary Break jumps behind the scenes of Arkham Knight. It shows off how great the staging of the game is. There are lots of spoilers about Arkham Knight in this video. When I write “staging,” I mean it in the theatrical sense. While every game requires its developers to…

A fan with a lot of time on their hands has recreated The White Stripes’s classic “Seven Nation Army,” which was released 15 years ago, with the sound effects from Battlefield V I have a fascination with this kind of thing. I love the idea of recreating recognizable music with tools that definitely were not…
Final Fantasy VIII is getting a crossover event with Mobius Final Fantasy, the mobile and PC free to play game. There is no release date yet, but it is “coming this winter.”
Wandered into an Akihabara store last night and had an amazing score: Nintendo’s 1970s electro-mechanical Duck Hunt toy! This was what inspired the NES game. The store, notorious for its high standards, had it marked at 3000 yen ($27) because it was missing the battery cover.
You can do a lot of things with city builder games. You can replicate real cities, or you can simulate massive natural disasters. A YouTuber going by the name of “donoteat” uses Cities: Skylines to explain the politics and power behind the creation of American cities. The world of Cities: Skylines “builder” YouTubers is substantial.…
Sunless Skies, the follow up after Sunless Sea from Failbetter Games, now has a free tabletop RPG called Skyfarer that you can download from Tabletop Gaming After perusing through the rules, I can say that the game is more Dungeon World than Dungeons & Dragons.

Today was the first public day of the Tokyo Game Show. The crowds were massive, and the lines were long. Let’s look at which games were drawing the biggest crowds. It’s always hard to get around the show floor on the public day. Between noon and 12:30, which are peak show hours, I tried to…
While Kojima Productions doesn’t have a game demo booth at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, it does have a merchandise booth.

In 2014, Yokai Watch’s popularity exploded in Japan. The 3DS game and its anime became a nationwide phenomenon, with kids singing the theme song (and doing its catchy dance) and begging their parents to buy them Yokai Watch toys.
