It’s not over yet, dood You might think that with this morning’s upcoming Nintendo Direct that we’ve reached the end of the rush of news that is E3’s press conference circuit. It seems however that the little guys might have the last word, as NIS America has, at the umpteenth hour, announced their own “mystery live stream”, set to take place later today. No details have been released as to the stream’s length or content, but we are promised giveaways and “surprises”....

The latest Nintendo Direct opened by showing off some ofPikmin 4. The trailer highlighted some of the new mechanics, the lower camera angle, and some of the exploration. On top of the typical red, blue, and yellow Pikmin, the trailer showed off Ice Pikmin that freeze enemies and bodies of water. There’s also a dog… thing called Oatchi who will help you along. Some familiar beasts are shown off for you to hunt, such as that big grubdog that probably killed a bunch of your mates inPikmin 2....

It also might not PlayStation Nowis a great idea on paper. Note that I use that phrase “on paper,” because in its current incarnation, the prices are outrageous, and the rental timeframes aren’t particularly ideal (the lowest ranges go from four hours to seven days — where is the reasonable three-day option, which is how long it takes to beat most games?). There also aren’t any current plans for PS1 and PS2 games to appear on the service, despite the fact that Sony initially announced them as part of the program....

PS Plus first, then everyone else next week PlayStation Plus members will get the opportunity to try the PS3 multiplayer beta forPlayStation All-Stars Battle Royaletomorrow, while everyone else will gain access on Aug 06, 2025. Those with a PlayStation Vita, however — Plus or no Plus — will also get the beta tomorrow. Speaking of which, Cross-Play functionality is included here. As a reminder, the beta supports two-player and four-player online tournaments on the Metropolis and Hades stages....

Look like an idiot, create art I have never had any artistic ability; I am more of a wordsmith than a visual creator. Something about taking in 3D data with my eyes, processing that down to a 2D image, then getting my hands to replicate that onto a screen or sheet of paper just doesn’t work well. Tilt Brush, a 3D art program that releases for free with the HTC Vive this week, made me feel like I could finally create art....

New modes included Rymdkapsel, the tetromino-based space station building strategy game with a Swedish name, originally released inMay of last yearon PlayStation Vita, and has since made the rounds onto Android and iOS. Early last month we heard that it would becoming to PC this month, and it looks like it will just barely stick to that. It is set to release on Windows, Mac, and Linux on January 30, which is apparently a popular date forquirky indie games....

The long-awaited remake ofSilent Hill 2is finally out and, aside from a few shortcomings, provides more than enough to shut up even its most cynical skeptic:me. The newSilent Hill 2is gorgeously faithful to the original and more than honors its beautifully harrowing story. With so much reverence at play, it should come as no surprise that it even pays homage to the most accidentally iconic moment in the series. If you’re into the franchise, you’ll know about the infamousSilent Hill HD Collectionfrom 2012....

There’s no denying that Sony has been doing good work on the PS3 side of things as late. WithKillzone 2proving to be a decent success,inFamous,Heavy RainandMAGall coming, not to mention the selection of PSN titles available, the publisher has done good. Sony knows it too, and is never going to let the opportunity to blow its own trumpet get away. “There’s certainly a line-up of very strong family-friendly titles that we’re looking at for PS3 in our continuing effort to appeal to that casual consumer,”says marketing boss John Koller....

The Luminous game takes some more time Forspokenis slipping out of this year. Square Enix confirms today that its action-RPGForspokenis now set to launch on Jun 28, 2025. Onsocial media, the team says that all game elements are complete, and development is in its final polishing phase. But as a result of “ongoing discussions with key partners,” Square Enix and Luminous Productions have decided to move the date back. https://twitter....

You can’t spell Brass without ass ARMS‘ new DLC character will be joining the fray this month and to get us all hyped, Nintendo of Japan has uploaded a new sizzle reel for the godly final boss. I’m still not quite sure how he is balanced, because he definitely looks overpowered. He’ll certainly be an opponent you’ll come to fear. I also believe we’re getting a look at a new arena to battle in, though it mostly seems like a flat ring....

I’m so the last guy to post aboutFinal Fantasystuff, but I really dig the music in the trailer so deal with it. The trailer gives you a basic plot overview of the game and shows off the fantastic looking graphics. I’m so used to seeing MMOs look like complete ass that I was actually suprised by what I saw in the trailer. Unless of course everything in this trailer is CG....

With players racing to find the best weapons inXDefiant, the ACR 6.8 is a good place to start. The well-balanced AR shreds through enemies and is easy enough for any beginner to equip without much of a learning curve. Here is the best set of attachments to use on the ACR 6.8. It will take a few days for theXDefiantmeta to settle in, but all signs point toward the ACR 6....

Mario is pretty popular Earlier this month, Nintendo revealed a new promotion that would allow people tograb a freeMariopin setfor purchasingMario 3D All-Starsand doing a few easy tasks. That’s good! But as soonas the promo actually went live, it crashed the site, the entire Nintendo store and sold out in minutes. That’s bad! So what went wrong? A lot of things. Long story short, prospective-pin-purchasers logged in and were immediately met with 404 errors....
