Has a Toy Story-esque feel to it… Ever been so inspired by something that you want to take up that hobby immediately in an attempt to inspire future generations in the same way, only to then realize that it’s way too much freaking work to even come close? Well, this Source FilmmakerTeam Fortress 2short titled “Lil Guardian Pyro” has done just that to me. It’s….amazing. Incredible animation detail, an original soundtrack, and a theme that appeals to theToy Storylover in all of us....

I have a history withTotal Recallon NES. Not only has it been frequently trashed by everyone I’ve ever looked up to, but it also soured my early retro gaming experience. We had an NES growing up, but my family sold it for an SNES while I was still too young to care. I reacquired one when I was a teenager and it came with potentially the worst assortment of games I could have started with:Kid Icarus, Castlevania 2,andTotal Recall....

Creative Assembly walks through new footage If you have ten minutes, you should watch this city get attacked while James Russell, the lead designer onTotal War: Rome II,goes into detail with the new mechanics. I have played everyTotal Wargame to date, and they have always been small iterations on the previous title. This one seems different — like a leap forward to a new generation. Visually,Rome IIlooks amazing, and more depth has been added with subtle things like facial animations for each soldier....

spaceship noises Starlink: Battle for Atlasstuck out to me as an oddity from Ubisoft’s E3 conference last year. Even in 2017, the NFC figure craze was clearly a dying trend, and most series cut their losses by either shutting down or scooting into other media. The only one still regularly supported — pending a surpriseSkylandersannouncement at this year’s E3 — is Nintendo’s amiibo, and it’s a stretch to say they’re “toys-to-life....

Looks pretty much the same It looks likeMinecraftmay be on the road to becoming the nextFruit NinjaorAngry Birdswhen it comes to getting on multiple platforms, because Microsoft has just announcedMinecraft: Xbox One Edition,which as you might imagine, is an Xbox One port ofMinecraft. And…well, it looks a heck of a lot likeMinecraft, which is, I guess, the point. That said, it looks like the Xbox One version ofMinecraftwon’t be as limited as the arguably hobbled (but still wildly popular) Xbox 360 Edition....

Set for 360 and PS3 RememberNinja Gaiden Z? That weird spinoff game where the chief goal is to kill the franchise hero Ryu Hayabusa? Although details on planned platforms have been scarce, leading some to believe it was a next-gen project,it seems as if the game is slated for the 360 and PS3based on a job posting by co-developer Spark Unlimited. If there really are no plans for a Wii U release, it would be pretty disappointing if Tecmo Koei already dropped support following the launch port ofNinja Gaiden 3....

Looking like a true hero I’ll almost always go for an alternate costume if given the choice. Even when a character’s default look is inherently cool, I still feel compelled to change. Whether you have a similar habit or you just plain adoreDragon Quest VIII, you’ll be pleased to know thatDragon Quest XIhas a free Trodain outfit. The Trodain Bandana and Trodain Togs will be in your inventory “from launch and can be equipped to the Luminary character to boost defensive stats in the early portion of the game,” according to Square Enix....

The dependable rust bucket of MechWarrior Online When it comes to competitive multiplayer games, we all have our favorite characters and classes. In this series, I’m putting some of mine under the microscope to see what makes them tick, how they fit into their games, and ultimately why I like them! Check out the previous entries –Kotal Kahn,Reaper,Lex Luthor. From the outside looking in,MechWarriorprobably doesn’t seem like a game with a lot of character....

But what about Metroid Prime 4 Everyone tuned in to see if we’d get moreZeldanews during the new Nintendo Direct, and we…sort of did! AlthoughtheSkyward Sword HDSwitch project was confirmed,Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2was a no-show. Series producer Eiji Aonuma did show up to deliver the bad news however, specifically explaining thatthere was no news. Here’s the full script: “Hello there, I’m Eiji Aonuma, producer of theLegend of Zeldaseries....

Evidently it already exists in some form Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fateis all set for a 3DS-exclusive release — but there’s a distinct possibility that an HD version may be hitting a console near you in the future (outside of the Wii Umost likely). Speaking to CVG, project lead Dave Cox said that an HD version was “absolutely” on the table, and that they even “created everything in high definition — all the textures, all the levels, high-poly models, everything — and we kind of shrunk it all down into the 3DS....
