Several years ago, when I was just getting into indie games, I was told to playKnyttandKnytt Storiesboth, but for whatever reason, I just never got around to it. Well, now thatKnytt Undergroundhas been announced, it has reminded me that I have a huge backlog that will never be clear. Today, Chad celebrated the start of the summer Olympics with his own Retrolympics (I missed snagging a bronze by just one question), Alistair lets us know thatOrcs Must Die!...

More Mega Man, or something else? Mega Man Legacy Collectionis the last bastion of hope for the Blue Bomber to continue to exist outside of the sleazy mobile releases Capcom has been putting out. Digital Eclipse did a great job of upholding the honor of the series, and it seems like Capcom agrees, as they aren’t done with their partnership yet. Speaking on a podcast, Digital Eclipse’s Frak Cifaldi reminiscenced about his previous work, while commenting on the next one: “I shipped a collection calledMega Man Legacy Collectionthe year before last (it’s been a while), and we’ve got another one coming out soon that they’re gonna announce any day now....

So-called “fourth pillar” of the EDF revealed Here we have a video describing the capabilities of a whole new bug-crushing addition to theEarth Defense Force 2025roster of unit types, which I believe is called the “Fencer,” based on the trailer. The name’s a bit odd, seeing as it comes equipped with a massive spear, which isn’t exactly what I would call a fencing weapon. But who cares? GIANT SPEAR! This could totally change the way I playEDF....

Can you please… [I had a couple of ideas for the heel-turn prompt, but for some reason I never thought of this one. It’s a good choice really. What better heel-turn is there than this character, who literally is your ally and turns on you right at the pivotal moment? I applaud Gamemaniac’s choice and look at how Atlas works as the de facto heel-turn ofBioShockbut, spoilers, I guess? ~Marcel]...

For a shorter, equally brutal experience Left Behindwas a great piece of story DLC forThe Last of Us, filling in a portion of the main story that is glossed over and providing a clearer look at Ellie’s origin. Any who want to try out the three-hour episode as a taste before jumping into the full experience will be able to do so beginning May 12. It will be available on both the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 for $9....

Suddenly my prom date seems alright If you’re anything like me, Valentine’s Day is a very special time of year. A time to be reminded that your crippling social anxieties and complete lack of desirable personality traits mean you’re likely to spend the rest of your sad life painfully alone (and don’t attempt to pretend it’s because you’re such a “nice guy,” because you’re probably a scumbag). Thankfully, we’ll always have our favorite escapist media to keep us company, the magic of video games allowing poor souls like myself to embark on soul-searching adventures, challenge power-hungry villains, and of course, fall in love with a variety of glamorous heroines....

Now, be warned that this video does contain giant spoilers for theThe Witcher.It’s a neat little five minute long animated video that completely explains the entirety of the first game’s story, which will be included with the Enhanced Edition. So the console players have an idea of what’s going on whenThe Witcher 2: Enhanced Editionhits Xbox 360 April 17th, you know? I’ll be honest, I sort of wish the PC version ofWitcher 2had this when it launched back in May of last year....

A very good idea indeed Can you cram a Famicom Mini inside a Game Boy? Yes. But should you? Hell yeah! Well, maybe notyouyou, but Kei Studio sure managed the feat with an impressive “Famicom Pocket” build. This 25-minute-long video gets into the specifics, as does the creator’saccompanying step-by-step article, in case you’d rather just quickly flip through some photos and call it a day. From the sound of it, these handhelds won’t be sold....

Zuffa, otherwise known as “The UFC Guys”, are suing Ubisoft for a stupid reason. The studio’s Kinect gameFighters Uncagedencourages players to become “the ultimate fighting weapon.” This is seen by Zuffa as a trademark infringement. Zuffa alleges that Ubisoft deliberately designed its tagline to create confusion amongst consumers and associate the game with the UFC, thereby harming the company’s reputation and affecting its potential to make money. Let this be a lesson to you — never, inanyway, claim that your ability to fight is ultimate....
