It’s not as weak as you may think A common theme I’ve seen around the ‘net is thatPokemon X & Yhas a weak endgame. While it’s notnearlyas strong as a few prior generational iterations, I wouldn’t necessarily call it “weak.” Despite the fact that the bank and transfer app is not with us yet (thus making it impossible to catch all 718 Pokemon), there’s still hundreds of creatures to catch, and a few extra excursions to go on....
But it looks fine overall There’s been lots of talk about Duncan Jones’ (son of David Bowie)Warcraftfilm, and it seems like the CG-heavy look is pretty polarizing. I get the wholePolar Expressuncanny valley vibe, but I trust Jones to generallymake a good flick, and I’m anxious to see howWarcraftturns out. At the very worst, it’ll probably be a reverent companion to the source material. Although, that baby at 0:17 is really, really freaky....

PRESENTS! IT’S CHRISTMAS! YAY CHRISTMAS! A lot of you got a ton of gifts this Christmas morning, and we want to know what it is! Did you get a new next-generation gaming console of the future? Or maybe the hottest new game of winter? Maybe you got a brand new bike? Or socks, maybe you got socks? Hey man, free socks when you’re older are the best. So tell us what you got, videogames or otherwise....
Oh man. We all knewSteel Battalion: Heavy Armorwas going to be violent but this latest trailer is certainly driving that home. The deep rumble of the mechs as they cross the landscape, their guns exploding and the ground trembling along the way has me really excited. I don’t think I’ve been this interested in a mech game since my first experience seeing a PlayStation 2 playingRing of Red(which, admittedly, was more about the console than the game)....
Rock ’em Sock ’em Corebots [Update:Namco Bandai has just announced the game will see a US release. More official screens have been added to the gallery.] AlthoughArmored Core Vdidn’t deliver the goods for a lot of people, I still have hope for the franchise as a long-term fan. Namco Bandai is going to attempt to rekindle that with a new game in the series:Armored Core: Verdict Dayfor the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3....
Four of our favorites Poznan Game Arena reminds me something of the first PlayStation Experience. Maybe that’s mostly because of the season. The video game convention circuit squarely falls between March and August, the time of the year when publishers look to drum up hype for their fall lineup. Once September rolls around, those games are actually coming out. That first PlayStation Experience was filled with big-name titles that were no longer important to us....
Phil Fish delivers miracles like an angry Santa Clause Phil Fish, fancy lad and angry boy, has proclaimed to the world thatFEZwill be patched once more on Xbox Live Arcade. As Gabrielle herself sung in the 90s, dreams can come true (look at me, babe, I’m here with you). Making hisdeclaration on Twitter(sorry Phil, I know you hate it when people quote you on there!), Fish said, “GOOD NEWS EVERYONE: we’re going to patchFEZon XBLA!...

By doing so you’ll create a fertile environment and eventually entice people to move back onto the island....
Thank you, Twitter, for once again spoiling the many surprises of this year’s E3. In tonight’s edition, we look ata tweet fromone Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb in which theexistence ofPerfect Darkon Xbox LIVE Arcade is finally addressed. In the booth. Just sawPerfect Darkon XBLA running 1080p. It is coming to XBLA this winter. Free theme coming tomorrow! That’s right, ladies and gentlemen,a free theme. And an HD-ifiedPerfect Darkon XBLA? That’s cool too....
Did you ever leave? Destiny: Rise of Ironis confirmed, and it’s $30 on PS4 and Xbox One (sorry last-gen). And given how many copies the game sold, there’s a lot of people out there who haveDestinydiscs spinning in their consoles as we speak, as well as a sizable chunk of folks who have them collecting dust. So where do you stand? Are you back in? As for me, I messaged my group “I’m back in September” after all the details were confirmed....
The game’s first StarCraft Warrior Heroes of the Storm‘s Artanis isn’t dropping officially until October 27, but those of you who pre-orderedLegacy of the Voidcan play him now, as part ofan early access program. While Artanis might be a formidable foe within the confines of theStarCraftuniverse, I’m not sure I’ll be using him to suit my Warrior needs. In terms of his style, Artanis reminds me less of a traditional “tank” and more of a Sonya-like character....
The DTOID Show discusses hot topics from 1996 [Note: YouTube’s still processing the trimmed video. The show actually starts at the 20:10 mark] Hey everybody! If you missed it, Spencer and I went live earlier this afternoon with a very low-key, laid back episode of The DTOID Show. We covered some news, likeCarmack’sdeparture from id, the inevitablePS4 and Vita bundle,Sunset Overdrivelooks cool, I’m excited about Fulgore inKiller Instinct,Telltale might be doing aGame of Thronesgame and the nextTomb Raideris going to be a sequel....
