It's another news-centric PB & Jason!
...When will this guy get some editorial ideas, anyway?
This looks like a great Sonic game! Wait...what?
If you were around for the bitter, vicious, and petty wars between the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis, you can’t help but feel at least a little bad for Sega’s blue speedster with the 90s ‘tude. While Mario went on from the 16-bit era to have some of his greatest adventures, Sonic has had a slow, steady slide into irrelevancy. While he has his staunch supporters and always sells well to the kids, there is a segment of the hardcore gaming community that keeps wondering when that next great Sonic game is going to come along. With each new release, there’s always the talk that “This is the one! This is the game that makes Sonic great again!” And the fans buy into it, and more often than not, they end up disappointed, and have to seek solace in their fan fiction.
Notch celebrates via Twitter.
This past August, it was reported that Mojang, the company behind indie smash sensation Minecraft, was being sued by Zenimax, the parent company of Bethesda. The lawsuit was filed over the name of Mojang’s upcoming game, titled “Scrolls”, which Zenimax claims is too close to their trademark for The Elder Scrolls series. Normally, any story where a huge company sues a much smaller one ends in the case being thrown out or the smaller company simply caving in under mounting legal fees, but this time, it looks as if the little guy has won, at least for now.
Ezio may be sneaking his way onto the stage of history.
Since Namco released Soul Calibur II and with it, three system-specific guest characters (Link, Spawn, and Heihachi), it has become a common practice for fighting games to score special fighters. Soul Calibur IV featured not one, not two, but three characters from the Star Wars universe, while the recent release of Mortal Kombat saw none other than Freddy Krueger step out of the boiler room and onto the fighting stage. More information has been coming out for Soul Calibur V, which is due next year, and with it a rather interesting rumor.
Continuing from where we left off, we explore the depths of Arkham City!
The real San Francisco treat.
Driver: San Francisco has no business being as fun as it is. It has one of the most ridiculous premises I have ever come across a video game, it oozes of 70’s car movie clichés and has enough cheesy dialogue to throw an epic fondue party. Yet somehow all of these components meld together in a strangely fantastic way that makes for the most pleasantly surprising video game experience I have had the pleasure of playing all year.
Athena, Leona, Ralf, Chin, Clark and Kensou are preparing for a fight!
As the November 22, 2011 release date comes closer and closer, Atlus and SNK Playmore keep releasing video clips of the fighters performing their special attacks. The following trailers are in this order: Clark, Leona, Ralf, Athena, Chin, Kensou.
Seems Nintendo has more announcements regarding its little 3D handheld gaming machine.
Right before this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo held a Japanese press event to comment on the status of the 3DS and announce a bevy of new titles including the juggernaut that is Monster Hunter 4. Considering that it’s only been a little more than a month it comes as a surprise that Nintendo has announced that they will be holding another press event this Friday called, “Nintendo 3DS New Information Internet Presentation.”
Fans rejoice as NFL Blitz returns as a downloadable game early next year.
In a time long ago that I shall refer to as the 90s, EA’s NFL series wasn’t the only football gig in town. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true and one of the more prolific titles was Midway Games’ NFL Blitz, an arcade take on America’s favorite past time – face it, no one cares about baseball anymore.
