It generally works out okay Multiplayer gameplay doesn’t mix often with theZeldaseries, but when it does, it usually puts forth enough panache to be worth it. TakeFour Swords, one of my favoriteZeldagames ever (especially the Anniversary Edition) — it takes such a simple formula that was cemented with the very first game and runs with it.Four Swords AdventuresandTri Force Heroesweren’t as perfectly crafted, but again, worthwhile all the same. Series producer Eiji Aonuma seems to be particularly fond of multiplayer, as he wants to work it into a future game, and from the sounds of it, possibly a mainline title....

As withShadowbringersandEndwalkerbefore it,Dawntrailbrings a whole new round of Shared FATEs toFinal Fantasy XIV. If you’re after some of the more elusive minions, this is how you get them, and the grind has got a little bit easier. Urqopacha is the first area on the Shared FATEs list, so you’re likely to head here first once you begin the FATE grind.

It’s been a long, hard wait forNi no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch,hasn’t it? I first saw and played the game at Tokyo Game Show 2011, where I promptlyfell in love it it. We were a bit iffy on whether it would be localized or not, but Namco Bandai gave usgood news in early 2012, saying that we’d see a North American release before year’s end.But they pushed it backto 2013 a few months later....

While it hasn’t quite reachedDuke Nukem Foreverstatus, Polyphony Digital’s full-fledgedGran Turismofollow-up for PlayStation 3 is a long-time coming. But according to SCEA Associate Producer Chris Hinojosa-Miranda, the wait is nearly over. During a short demo presentation ofGran Turismo 5earlier this week, Hinojosa-Miranda re-confirmed the March 2010 release for for Japan. Without getting too specific, he then revealed that Sony was eying a vague “Summer 2010” release, which hopefully means we’ll see it before leaves start falling off trees next year....

A new patch is live, fixing some of the bugs brought by thebig patch last week. But it doesn’t address everything. TheHelldivers 2developer has responded to the patrol rate concerns with no promises of a fix, and Superior Packing Methodology is still not working as intended. That’s not to say the newHelldivers 2update is weak by any metric, as shown by today’s patch notes. Patch 1.000.402 fixes bugs, addresses crashes, and adds some nice enhancements that should be welcomed by the community at large....

Telltale art I take lots of screenshots.It’s just something I do. The signature cel-shaded art style of theBorderlandsseries lends itself to grabbing sharp, colorful screens of crazy weapons, breathtaking vistas, and intense cutscenes.Tales from the Borderlandstakes this even further, since it is basically one long playable movie. I played throughEpisode One: Zer0 Sumwith one hand on the controller and the other poised on the F12 key. As before, I tried to cull any major plot spoiler images from the collection, but browsing through these before playing through the episode will definitely preempt some of the minor details....

One console, two players Pretty recently, anew expansion forPowerwash Simulatorcame out. I likedPowerwash Simulatorwell enough when I played it back in 2021, but this was the first time I was tempted to dip back in for more. That’s because the latest update features locales fromFinal Fantasy VII, and the game added co-op a little while back. My girlfriend finished the originalFinal Fantasy VIInot too long ago, so I figured this would be a fun way to spend a few hours....
