KarmaZoo, a cooperative platformerparty gamedeveloped by Pastagames and published by Devolver Digital has set a release date for November 14. In this unorthodox multiplayer experience, players seem to be encouraged to diminish the ego and prioritize their friends — or, in some cases, perfect strangers. In therelease date announcement trailer, it looks like this game is predominantly speed-based in the sense that players will be put into a course where they must make it to the finish line....

It’s-a-meee, Blast Corps in hi-def! In today’s contest you can bring your Nintendo 64 into the modern age with an EON Super 64 HDMI adapter! I recently tried to hook my PS2 up to my HDTV to play some good old-fashioned PS classics. As you may imagine, it was a pain! TVs don’t have composite cable ports anymore, so I was stuck playing my PS4 like a dummy. If you’ve got a Nintendo 64 and you want to avoid my sad fate, you’re in luck — we’ve got this super nifty EON Super 64 HDMI adapter to give away!...

I’m one of those people with an uncanny, and totally useless, memory for bizarre bits of pop culture minutiae, hence, this week, I had decided to write something about an ancient, British children’s cartoon about an anthropomorphic, vegetarian, vampire duck;Count Duckula. After searching my local Internet tubes for pictures to go along with this piece, I came across the above graphic, which has led me to the following two questions — first, why was I never told that there was aCount Duckulagame, and second, why was my childhood so deeply entrenched in bizarre cartoons from foreign countries?...

While it was originally slated for March 17, it will now be available on March 10. The new version boasts 60fps (finally) and 1080p resolution, as well as retouched visuals and all the DLC released to date....

A few new screenshots to show off Guacamelee!was rad and DrinkBox Studios’ next projectSeveredhas a lot of the same stuff going for it, despite existing in an entirely different genre. It has that same sharp cartoon art style and it doesn’t shy away from some good old-fashioned violence. Severedwas originally announced to be a summer release, but DrinkBox has pushed that back to an undisclosed window. The alpha is set to be ready in a few days, but the developer needs “sufficient time to add more memes and dumb jokes....

Thebig “surprise” announcementat Sony’s press conference this afternoon was that, contrary to what David Jaffe had posted on Twitter a few months back, he is, in fact, working on aTwisted Metalgame. As Sweet Tooth drove his ice cream truck out onto the stage, Jaffe and Sony showed off a bunch of gameplay from the upcoming PlayStation 3-exclusiveTwisted Metal. The trailer starts off with some basic gameplay footage, highlighting a variety of vehicles and showcasing a helicopter, the first air vehicle theTwisted Metalseries has ever seen....

The Steam port is scheduled to arrive this year and everything hinges on it As I’ve talked about this week,El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatronis a game that deserves to be remembered. So we did just that, directly with the game’s director, and frankly, father and steward, Sawaki Takeyasu. Let’s dig in and see what the future might hold, and why it took so long to get a PC port....

Cyberpunked: SMT: Devil Summoner 2 hacks out soul European release date Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackersis a game with a name hard to squeeze into a headline.

This is, notably, an entireweek’sdelay from the original, promised upon September 13 release date. Don’t take this lying down, European readers....

Clearly inspired byWind Waker, this new platformer looks incredibly charming, and fun to boot. This newly cut March trailer shows off a bit of gameplay, including some of the endearing characters you’ll meet, and the gorgeous looking locales.

Allow me to share with you a short email conversation between myself and Niero. [the above picture] this game was so f*cking hard, but so awesome. Anthony:That mullet ALONE just scored it a spot. Now, this Genesis game isn’tquiteas good as the above picture might lead you to believe (were that to be the case, it’d have to cure cancer and print money), but it’s still pretty enjoyable as far as shmups go....

It’s all about options It’s easy to think of an update that’s turning-oriented as boring or insubstantial. But, in virtual reality, the locomotion of your character (and, hopefully, how it keeps you from feeling sick) is super important. That’s the main focus ofHalf-Life: Alyx‘s version 1.1 update. You’ll be able to turn better and that should go quite a ways as a quality of life improvement. For people who play on the first-person shooter-style continuous motion setting (that is to say not teleporting around), there’s a new option for fluid, continuous turns without a snap effect....

You know what? I’m more interested now Diablois such a weird series: and I vibed with that feeling since the very first game. I had zero idea of what to expect, and didn’t understandthe strange history of theHellfire“expansion”until many years after its release. By the timeDiablo 2rolled around my little crew ofDiablo-playing-friends was around 20 strong, and it was a bonafide hit that people still play today. ButDiablo 3changed things considerably....
