Chex Questis a nutritious part of this balanced breakfast Breakfast cereal marketing is a brutal battleground. At least it was in the ‘90s when I’d wake up to watch my Saturday Morning ads, briefly interrupted by cartoons. The commercials themselves often depicted violent acts of robbery and betrayal, as well as straight-up prejudice against adults, leprechauns, and lagomorphs. We watched heartbreak televised every morning. It was a lot of childhood seduction....

New footage of upcoming PS Vita game is pretty unsettling I’m not exactly sure why I enjoy theCorpse Partyseries. The games give you likable casts of characters and just enough time to become attached to them, before ripping it all away and going to a very dark place. Corpse Party: Blood Drivelooks to continue that trend, but with better visuals and an increased focus on interactivity from the looks of things....

Perhaps in a perfect universe… Remember theStreetgames?NFL Streetwas probably my favorite, butNBA Streetwas right up there with it in terms of arcade-style quality. Well, it looks likeNBA Streetin particular was only living up to about 10% of its potential, as the concept art behind what could have been one of the coolest bosses ever has surfaced. Roger Yuen, lead artist on the title, has put up hisconcept art of Cyber Michael Jordan, a boss that never made it to the final title....

Destructoid recently had the chance to briefly interviewArenaNetco-founder Mike O’Brien and game designer Ben Miller aboutGuild Wars,Guild Wars: Eye of the North, and evenGuild Wars 2. I was the lucky individual who pulled the blue marble this time and spoke with Mike and Ben about all thingsGuild Wars. For all three of you who don’t know,Guild Warsis the extremely successful and groundbreaking competitive online roleplaying game that is still going strong after its original release in 2005....

In the first of a new AMA series,Dying Light 2‘s lead game designer TymonSmektaÅ‚aaddressed a number of common inquiries, including the size of the game’s map and the impact of choices on the narrative....

Just announced at Fanfest EVEFanfest is in full swing, as the convention’s opening keynote just ended. The presentation was mostly a “Welcome to Iceland!” kind of affair, with more of an emphasis on community than news. However, CCP dropped one really interesting tidbit of info. Oculus Rift launch titleEVE Valkyrieis coming to other virtual reality platforms. CCP has been verytransparent about its intentionsto releaseValkyrieon both Vive and PlayStation VR. It’ll probably be on both of those systems by the end of the year....

Lovely Final Fantasy IXwill arrive on PC this month with a few bells and whistles in tow, according to the game’s official Steam page. Evidently there will be seven game boosters in this version, including “high speed” and “no encounter” modifications. These features aren’t particularly new, as they’ve been in recent re-releases likeFinal Fantasy VIIon PS4, but it’s appreciated. A lot of classic JRPGs are just that — classic — but the time sink involved with high random encounter rates kills me sometimes....

Here is a music video aboutFinal Fight 3. The singer of the song has a chalice filled with alcohol, and he appears quite serious about contemplating the many aspects of Capcom’s often overlooked SNES beat ’em up. He really appreciates it. Personally, I’ve always had mixed feelings about the game, as it paled in comparison to some of Capcom’s arcade beat ’em ups at the time likeAliens Vs. PredatorandDungeons and Dragons....

The first eight of the fifty plannedTheatrhythmsongs have been released, and I will be buyingall of them. This first set of 3DS downloadable content will hit in Japan tomorrow at launch for $2 a song (day one DLC!). Sadly, there is still no word on a localization attempt. This batch of DLC offers a number of great songs, such asFFIV’s“The Final Battle”,FFV’s“In Search of Light“, and the all time great,“Cosmo Canyon”....

I can more easily recruit people to play it, for one Battle royale games can be a tough sell. Or not, becausePlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsbroke two million concurrent players on Steam, so people are playing them — but the prospect of getting someone you know to drop their cash on something is hard regardless of the subject matter. The entire conceit ofFornite‘s free battle royale mode turned me off for a while as I didn’t love the early stages of the core game’s campaign, but once I picked it up, it really hooked me....
