Spoti-Fi. November 21st, 2023 marked the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s Japanese launch. To celebrate this historic Hyrulean occasion, we are running articles throughout the week dedicated to the game, our memories, and its legacy. Today, we’re ranking the titular instrument’s choons… Here’s a spicy take for you: The Legend…
As I write this, we’re roughly two hours into tonight’s Game Awards. There have been some major reveals: After two decades, there’ll be a proper return to The Old Republic. We now know that Larian was behind Keighley’s special desert statue. There will be two Tomb Raiders in the next two years. That’s all fine….
Nintendo has shared two beautiful images from the cast of Splatoon on social media outlets wishing a festive “Merry Squidmas!” to everyone this year. Here’s both of the beautifully illustrated images which will put some festive cheer in you. Source: Twitter and Instagram
And there’s also some new DLC. The sandbox game Minecraft continues to expand and the latest reveal is a new hostile mob. It’s called “The Bogged” and is a new poison skeleton mob that will be added in the upcoming 1.21 Update. It’s available now in testing as well. Here’s a bit about it from…
It’s trotted out every time a game is delayed—that apocryphal Shigeru Miyamoto aphorism that a delayed game is eventually good, but a game you rush is bad forever. Miyamoto never said it but, hell, the truth is the truth. As frustrating as it can be to have something you’re looking forward to punted back, we’d…
Dragon Age: The Veilguard did not sell well. At least not well enough for publisher Electronic Arts. Three months out from launch, The Veilguard missed its sales target by “nearly 50%,” 1.5 million players versus a projected 3 million. The Veilguard reviewed well (well enough, in our case), but has sold worse than BioWare’s notorious…
Hell Clock is a roguelike that’s aiming to pack a Path of Exile league’s worth of build progression into a minutes-long run. It’s a compelling pitch, and based on the sheer density of unlockable, upgradeable mechanics and systems for carving through undead hordes I found in my time with a preview build, it’s making an…
Thanks to another heads up from Saberman, he has told us that Coagulus has made available an early build preview of his/her work in progress Shoot-em-up for the Amiga called ‘JetHuntERS’. A game that the developer says isn’t just a sequel to JetHunt, but also a partial tribute to the game Zybex which came out…
After years of being accepted as just how things are done, crunch—working horrifically long hours for weeks or months at a stretch in order to meet an arbitrary deadline set by an executive who’s probably still going home on time every night—is now widely frowned upon in the videogame industry. But it also seems to…
