You’ll be able to control the drones by customizing three inputs: their target, source, and destination.

What took ya so long? Two years after its Japanese release, Bandai Namco’s mobile role-playing gameTales of Linkis finally available in western markets (subtitled in English) via theiOS App StoreandGoogle Play. Despite being a fan of several of the games from whichTales of Linkdraws its all-star cast ofTalesprotagonists, the nostalgia hasn’t been the main draw for me in my limited time with the game thus far. No, surprisingly, the combat system has me hooked....

A Link to the Past and a Breath of Something New WithThe Legend of Zelda:Tears of the Kingdom, Link is back in Hyrule, but things aren’t quite what they used to be. Various communities across the land have been reacting to the changes quite differently. Over in Kakariko, for instance, strange ring-shaped ruins have fallen from the sky, and folks aren’t sure what to make of it or how to proceed....

Previously available for the Prepare to Die edition What do you do when you beatDark Soulsmyriad times, with every build, platinum or 1000/1000 the game, and master it? You mod it. Dark Soulson PC has served the modding community well for nearlyseven yearsnow by way of the highly customizablePrepare to Dieedition, but now folks have to deal with theRemasterededition as the former was pulled from sale.Prepareowners had the chance to boot up theDaughters of Ashmod earlier this year, which added a hefty amount of content and features to the already packed world (you can get a whiff of everything below), and nowRemasteredplayers can too (take note of theDaughters‘ “obvious disclaimer,” to not play mods online)....

Time to break some eggs The nextDragon Agegame officially has a subtitle. BioWare confirms today that the next game in the series will be officially titledDragon Age: Dreadwolf. As the title andprevious teasershave heavily implied, former party member Solas will be playing a big role inDragon Age: Dreadwolf. He is, himself, the Dread Wolf who can be seen as a betrayer or savior, depending on your world view. Either way, the story ofDragon Age: Inquisition‘sTrespasserDLC firmly set him up as the next big bad in Thedas....

As decided by the fans Per the officialBorderlandsTwitter account, Krieg, Claptrap, and Tiny Tina are the series’ most popular characters amongstBorderlandsfans. There’s no clear indication which character received the most votes, but I wager Claptrap is a pretty safe bet. In many ways, this is the biggest story of 2015 for me. The story inBorderlandshas never been my thing — too irreverent for my taste — but a lot of people really enjoy the lore and this is a fairly concise insight into what exactly people find so resonant about this franchise....

Still not out When November 22 rolled around, I was pretty confused.Darksiders Warmastered Editiondropped on both PS4 and Xbox One, but the Wii U version was nowhere in sight. A week later the PC version was available on Steam as a free upgrade, and still, no Wii U port. Now it’s early December and I still haven’t seen it appear on the Nintendo Download list. So what gives? Well THQ Nordic says it’s taking a while longer because they want to get it right....

Coming Q4 2014 CD Projekt RED has announcedThe Witcher Battle Arena, a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena based onThe Witcheruniverse for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows tablets. Sounds like a whole lot of things we weren’t asking for combined into one game, huh? That’s not to say it can’t be good for what it is, I suppose. The studio claims the title “features no pay-to-win elements and allows players to unlock every piece of in-game content entirely via gameplay....

July 23 [Update:Ask for leaks and you shall receive delays. Or something like that. Just this morning Crytek has announcedthatCrysis Remasteredhas been delayed. We didn’t even get the reveal yet officially, but the below information makes it clear that it was originally set for a July 23 release. Now, the trailer premiere is even getting a delay as the team needs a few weeks for “polish.” Crytek surprisingly openly admits that the backlash for the underwhelming trailer was a reason for the delay, noting that it needs extra time to get the game up to the “PC-console-breaking standard” the series is known for....

Last week, Mr. Concelmo started a conversation in the editors’ email inboxes about cereal that ended in apostto the front page of Destructoid about Nintendo Cereal System. Many gamers have fond memories of the cereal, while others remember that it actually didn’t taste all that great (the fruity Mario side eclipsed the berry Zelda side, to this youngster’s taste buds). At the risk of sounding extremely dorky, cereal is something that I have had an odd fascination with throughout my life....

*Mute and *Hyun-ae await! Visual novels are cool games, but if there’s a pet peeve I’ve developed with the genre lately, it’s that most of them are PC-based. Visual Novels, dating sims, and the like are the perfect type of game to play on mobile and tablet platforms, but few good ones have made their way over. Add one more to that small (but growing) list: Christine Love’sAnalogue: A Hate Story....
