Saber, as seen in theFateseries, will be a fighter inMelty Blood: Type Lumina.

Watch the intriguing new trailer We knew thatMurdered: Soul Suspectwould be about a detective solving his own murder, which was enough of a hook to get the PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360 title from Square Enix on my radar. This trailer is much more up front about the game’s direction, and I like what I’m seeing. Deceased protagonist Ronan O’Connor will need to find clues and influence the living while stuck in limbo....

Happy Quincea?era!

For those unaware, roguelike is a sub-genre that features hardcore-focused RPG systems that offer deep challenges, and in most cases, permadeath. WithCrypt of the Necrodancerincorporating roguelike aspects into a rhythm action game, it definitely seems like everything is fair game. And now, we’ve got another peculiar title coming from the folks at Sigtrag Games that aims to rethink space-shooters....

Thar she blows! This week on Sup, Holmes we’ll be talking withJo LammertandGeorge Royerand ofWhite Whale Games, creators of the iOS fantasy action epicGod of Blades. After meeting their humble goal of$4K on Kickstarter, the game has been released for anequally humble price of $.99. Not bad for a title of this size and scope. We’ll be talking to George and Jo about the planning that went into starting an indie game studio at the dawn of the Kickstarter revolution, how they managed to put out such an expensive looking game with so little capital and for such a low release price, the influence that 70’s album covers and sci-fi novels had on their lives, how they managed to make a name for themselves in the increasingly crowded iOS market, and much more....

Step 1: Place playthings and snacks in your yard. Step 2: Wait for cats to visit! That’s advice forNeko Atsume: Kitty Collector(iOS,Android) and life in general. As of a recent update, the Japanese app is now also in English. It’s super simple — you mainly tap on menus to buy and place items, watch cats that come to play, and occasionally snap photos — but the little guys are just so adorable....

Right before E3! Having been in this industry a long time, I’m used to blocking off basically all of June as “the E3 month.” Everything to be around that time frame is “before E3” (BE3!) or “after E3,” and in this case, I’ll have a few good weeks withTekken 7before the big event actually starts. Yep, after months of waiting around in an attempt to figure out whenTekken 7would actually hit home consoles, Bandai Namco has announced this morning that it will arrive on June 2 on PC, Xbox One, and PS4....
