A continuing look at the development of Subnautica Natural Selectionbegan life in 2002 as a mod that successfully married the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres.

Now, development ofNatural Selection IIis being handed over to the dedicated communityaround the game as the studio focuses on their next project,Subnautica....

Sonic Colorscame as a surprise at an event where I was only expecting to seeSonic 4. It was hard forColors, a Wii game, not to take a back seat toSonic 4in my mind, especially after knowing that the latter is a true sequel — in style and spirit — to the original Genesis games. At first glance,Sonic Colorslooked to be a return to the floaty, imprecise 3D Sonic that we’ve come to know (and mostly dislike) these past couple of years....

More evolutions have arrived inEA FC 25for us to complete. To be more specific, we have three Choose Your Own Adventure Evolutions that we can now complete in Ultimate Team. This set of evolutions has three separate upgrades, all available at different price points. Incidentally, the three evolutions aren’t actually connected.

The top 25 list for LaLiga has been revealed forEA FC 25, and it’s dominated by the Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at who has made the cut, along with the best cards....

That settles it, I’m never having kids Words cannot express how deeply unsettled I am by this video fori Live, a forthcoming iOS game from Italian developer LGD Studio. It has a room full of squishy, mottled, 3D-rendered babythingsand tutorial instructions from a spermatozoon wearing glasses and a bowtie. There is nothing about this situation which does not make me uncomfortable. The game was originally scheduled to release today, but has since been pushed back so that LGD can make the gameplay, “truly unique....

‘Just gimme the toys, bro, and no one will get hurt!’ File this one under “news I never thought I’d hear.” The last Happy Meal rotation saw a group of toys that you all probably thought I’d never shut up about, but the next set is even stranger. Yowling children zipping around in PlayPlaces everywhere will now be toting aroundMadden 15toys. You know, super small figurines of sports figures, because those are good ideas for the kind of kids that regularly play at PlayPlaces....

For England, James? In an undercover operation worthy of Bond himself, a full playthrough of the canceled Xbox 360 remaster of Rare’sGoldenEye 007has surreptitiously slipped onto YouTube, giving fans of the legendary N64 title perhaps their only opportunity to see the lost game in its entirety. Originally planned for release on the XBLA service in 2008, Microsoft, Rare, and Nintendo somehow aligned the moon and the stars in order to get the remaster developed....

‘IT’S THE YET-AYY!’ If you’ve been playing theWinter Wonderlandevent in arena-shooterOverwatch, you may have tried out the Yeti Hunt mode, where a team of five Mei’s must track down and defeat a rage-infused Winston, before he grabs five slabs of meat and goes AWOL. I find it quite funny, with the quintet of Mei’s run around shouting things like “We just want to study!” and “We won’t hurt you!” whilst literally layingbear trapsand shooting him in the face with icicles....
