Kickstart this project unless you hate space combat games

Yep, another Kickstarter. I know, we also got tired of them and that was well beforeDouble Fine Adventurechanged the game. As a result, I completely glossed over a few press releases forStarlight Inception, which may have been a mistake. (Hot tip: make your subject line “SPACE COMBAT GAME AWW YEAAH” in the future!) In a nutshell, it’s a space combat game for PC and PlayStation Vita with first-person and third-person views (!...

Magic: Arena now supports old cards with Historic, but Wizards is doing their best to hide it

Where’s the fanfare? “Standard” (the use of recent,non-rotated cards) is very contentious inMagic: the Gatheringright now (it always is, at some point!). Extreme use of cards likeField of the Dead and Golos(as well as Oko) are making some people angry, which is exactly why paperMagicfans are flocking to other formats (modes). InMagic: Arena, that’s not so easy. This past week the “historic” format was added to the game: but like myself, thousands ofArenaplayers had no idea it was actually implemented....

Michael Madsen will join the cast of PSN’s Powers in Season 2

Yep, Season 2 is coming The reception forPowers, the TV show that debuted on Sony’s PlayStation Plus program, was mixed, to say the least.

Season 2 is coming, like it or not, and one of the kings of cheese, Michael Madsen (right up there with Bruce Campbell), will be playing the character SuperShock....

I legit did not know this I’m finishing up another Master Quest run ofZelda: Breath of the Wild, noticing all sorts of new things along the way.

Opinion: Vivendi needs to stop

The Never Vivending Story… Before I get started on my long-winded tangent down below, let me go over the basic events that inspired it. Vivendi is currently trying to decide if a Ubisoft takeover is even worth it. I’ve always assumed, like most sane individuals, that it was only a matter of time before it swallowed Ubisoft up whole, but, apparently, there’s still a glimmer of hope left for the French publisher to get out of this without too much more of a fight....

Clint Hocking is pretty influential According to a LinkedIn profile updatefound by Game Informer, Clint Hocking is no longer with Valve. You may recognize his name from his work on the originalSplinter CellandFar Cry 2, before he moved onto LucasArts (which became defunct), and eventually, Valve. But apparently he left the latter by the time 2014 rolled around — and while it’s clear he’s still in the industry, we don’t really know what (if any) projects he’s working on....
