Daroach? Adeleine? Kirby Star Allieshas essentially become an all-star meeting of various bits and pieces of Kirby history as time has gone on. What started as a simple crossover mechanic eventually became host to a window for DLC, as the Dream Palace zone added Rick, Kine, Coo, Gooey, and Marx into the mix by way of free updates. Many speculated that Nintendo wasn’t done yet, and according to datamining efforts from Twitter user LuigiBlood, it looks like more is on the way....

The team is noticing a large degree of inactivity during matches Final Fantasy XIVis not known for its PVP content per se, but it is there. On top of the Wolves’ Den arena dueling system, there’s also a few more concepts, like Frontline (a 24-person-team capture-the-objective-based gametype), Rival Wings (a MOBA-like), and now, Crystalline Conflict (a tug of war similar toOverwatch). About that last mode!Final Fantasy XIVPVP bans might be coming for some of the playerbase....

So I heard you like free games? I know I sure do, which is why I’ve already started downloading Midway’sPsi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. Sure, it has a weird subtitle, and I don’t really know anything about it…but it’s free! The short description says it features psychic powers, guns, and violence. Sounds good to me! It also got an84/100on Metacritic, so at least there’s a good chance it isn’t terrible. Even if it was, though, it would still be free, making it slightly less terrible by association....

Parallel plots and an appearance by Jacket While it’s encouraging to seeHotline Miamibreak out onto further platforms with an upcomingPlayStation Network releasefor PS3 and Vita, I’m mostly just eager to hear more about the follow-up game that has briefly beentalked about before. This week at the Game Developers Conference, Dennaton Games told Joystiq that this sequel will “[tackle] the more touchy-feely aspects of the early 90s” and feature “parallel plots built around the first game....

Emergence is only two weeks away Gears Tacticshas a tough task ahead. It needs to be a goodGearsgame, be a good PC strategy game, and somehow prove that those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Judging by this launch trailer, I’m inclined to believe that developer Splash Damage just might get the job done. Even ignoring just how fun this trailer is — kudos to whoever made the call on constant big-ass pop-in text —Gears Tacticsseems quite competent on all fronts....

Somehow this is a free update This is unexpected.Geometry Wars 3: Dimensionsis rolling out a free update across all platforms (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC) on June 14, 2025 that’s large enough to warrant a name change. Going forward, the game will be known asGeometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved. Adventure Mode, the one with boss battles, is adding 40 stages, and the existing score-based gating system for unlocking levels is being tweaked so that it’s easier to get through....

Tablets are pretty awesome pieces of technology. They still sort of make me feel like I’m in the future — just another step closer toMinority Report. Plus, as someone who frequently ends up lugging around a not-so-portable laptop, I’ve found them particularly alluring. Still, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted any tablet as much as I want theWikipad. Obviously the biggest thing that sets the Wikipad apart from its competitors is its gaming focus, evidenced both by the impressive hardware and, more overtly, its custom controller dock, which makes traditional control schemes for tablet games available....

We all saw this one coming HBO’s adaptation ofThe Last of Ushas been one of the biggest hits for the platform in about a decade, garnering a staggering10 million viewerswithin the first two days of the premiere alone, as well as gaining themost viewers from a first to second episodeof any show ever on HBO. It pretty much felt like the show was going to get a renewal as soon as we saw the success of the premiere episode, so the writing was on the wall with this one....

Switch the dragon I didn’t expect to enjoyDragon Ball Xenoverse 2as much as I have, but even this long after its release I’m still playing DLC and have gotten my character to level 80. So the prospect of a portable one scares the hell out of me. This Japanese trailer for the Nintendo Switch port shows off what it’s going to look like. It’s essentially the same as long as you don’t care about a lower resolution and frame rate drop....
