Galio’s League of Legends rework turns him into a badass

I remember playing him ages ago When Riot Games does a rework for a character inLeague of Legends, they don’t screw around. Usually they come up with some sort of lore reason for the alteration alongside of the industry standard new abilities. I remember playing Galio when he was new years ago (at this point, years and years ago!), but his anti-mage niche stopped being useful in most compositions. Riot has saved him from the dumpster, and now he’s still retaining his tankiness, but with some extra abilities....

Granin’s explanation for ‘Metal Gear’ makes a bit more sense in Japanese

Metal…Gear? Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eateris first in the series chronology (it’s set in 1964, twenty years ahead of the recentMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain) which makes it a good enough spot as any for an in-universe explanation for the term “Metal Gear,” which refers to the series’ crazy giant robots. But Granin’s explanation inSnake Eater, uh, doesn’t make much sense. I imagine you didn’t stop halfway through, unprompted (why don’t they let me writeoverYouTube videos, or directly into your head like Jim Carrey inBatman Forever?...

Jimquisition: Fish, FEZ, and supporting art over artists

The past week has seen much discussion concerningFEZand its creator, Phil Fish. It’s struck up some fascinating conversations about whether or not we should support art even if we don’t like the artist, and whether someone being an “asshole” ought to factor into the purchase of a product. This week’s Jimquisition examines the idea, and attempts to find the middle ground of the debate. After all, few people are more qualified on the subject of providing content while being a massive dick....

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom gets some screenshots

Some new screens have arrived for Namco Bandai’s charming new adventure game,Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom. The game caught my eye last week with areally promising trailer, seeming to hint at a game with all the aesthetic of a Team ICO creation, and none of the crushing depression. The new screens continue this theme, with some really pretty looking backdrops and unique character designs. I think this has potential to be a cult classic, provided the gameplay is as good as the visual style....

Microsoft plans slow, steady takeover? Xbox 360 declared ‘stepping stone’

When the original Xbox first debuted in the previous generation, it accomplished two things — it introduced a viable threat to Sony’s dominance in the home console market and it paved the way for greater success in generations to come. It was almost a platform for Microsoft to enter the fray rather than something perceived as a PS2-beater. It was a strategy that worked andapparently, a strategy that’s still in place....

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge: Getting bloody with Ayane

I was able to giveAyanea go in upcoming Wii U gameNinja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edgetonight at a Tecmo Koei press event in Tokyo. Tecmo Koei said that they were only offering a playable demo at their event as what they had to show was too bloody and violent for the Tokyo Game Show floor. After playing the demo, I can easily believe that. Ayane, the kunoichi, is is a new playable character in this Wii U version, and a bit of a change of pace from series protagonist Ryu Hayabusa....
