This isn’t like most action romps, as your gauge can level up You know the drill in pretty much every game that features some sort of “Devil Trigger” or “Rage of the Gods” mechanic (Devil May CryorGod of Warrespectively). Typically you want to save this game-changing power for a tougher encounter, or to save your bacon last-minute in a pinch. But inNioh 2, given thatusing it liberallyhelps you level the form up with its own skill tree, you’ll want to forget what you know....
Hearing the term “real-time strategy” instantly brings to mind certain genre tropes: harvesting resources, building bases, climbing up technology trees. But EA is releasing a new IP this year, an RTS for the PC calledBattleForge, that takes a completely different tack: it’s based on a collectible card game akin toPokémonorMagic: The Gathering.

Plus some other minor changes to GHTV When it comes toGuitar Hero Live,the one song I kick arse at is“Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees. I know it’s not considered “rock enough” for aGuitar Herogame by some people, but they’reobviouslyjust jealous of how good I am at it. Now I can prove my cheesy pop-rock dominance, as FreeStyle Games has introduced Rival Challenges toGuitar Hero TV,the microtransaction-driven music channel portion of the game....

Recently THQ invited me out to sit down and play the final build ofMX vs. ATV Reflex(Samitplayed an earlier buildthis year,) and while I was at it take a shot at helming both an MX bike and an ATV.

While we wait for SimCity to connect … I’m a bit of a mess, to be honest. A disheveled, disorganized, forgetful mess. Yet somehow, this all evaporates when I fire up a city builder. Obsessive? Definitely. Compulsive? Without a doubt. Everything needs to be just so, and if it isn’t, well woe be anyone that stands in the way of my bulldozer. When it was first revealed, I squealed in delight at the prospect of playing a new iteration of the belovedSimCityfranchise, and at first,SimCityseemed to be just what I wanted....

He likens his vision to that of the DVD market — where there’s a single format for whatever machines people want to make. “I’d like there to be only one platform.” said Howard inPSM3. “It’s a lot of work to make the games look good on every platform you’re on....
Possibly not quite what you think A number of videogames have shown up lately with the gameplay adjective “deck-building” in their descriptions. Steve Swink took a break from developingScalein order to releaseDad’s Building a Deck.Coin Cryptreleased on Steam yesterday. Just this morning, we heard about a new Kickstarter campaign for a city-planner/deck-builder calledConcrete Jungle.
