Sean Bean does not simply narrate an indie game

Unless it’s a Russian murder mystery, apparently It can be a challenge these days, getting people to notice your game. There are thousands out there, all of them competing for limited mind share. It’s critical to find a way to set your product apart from the competition and give folks a reason to pay attention. Star power certainly goes a long way, asIMGN.PROis seemingly well aware. The Polish studio has enlisted the services of actor Sean Bean, who you probably know for his roles inThe Lord of the Rings,GoldenEyeandGame of Thrones....

See a bit of cosplay and con with this Delta H Con video

Genji voice actor was so ninja Last weekend I decided to drop by and check out a little bit of Delta H Con, one of the many anime/fandom conventions in the city of Houston, Texas. I was only there for around two hours and had to go home early since Houston weather got really bad that day with lightning and rain.

Sheik and Toon Link amiibo wish you a happy Valentine’s Day

How old is Toon Link anyway? Valentine’s Day makes most people I know feel uncomfortable. The modern concept of the holiday has been designed around taking heartfelt expressions of attention/appreciation/affection and packaging them into rote, uniform little bundles of “love.” Already sounds kind of like amiibo, doesn’t it? In fact, one might say that amiibo are the chalky, heart shaped, “B Mine” and “I Wuv U” candies of the Nintendo world....

Silent film-inspired Cinema raises more questions than answers in its trailer

Trinity Teamhas released atrailer for its upcoming gameCinema, and I’m really not sure it explained much to me. Nothing wrong with a mystery, though. I can at least see the aesthetic they’re going for. The trailer is set up like an old black-and-white silent film. There are short scenes like a dilating pupil and an elderly lady cranking a gramophone. She then says, “Did you hear? I trust him.” All of this is completely without context....

Special Edition red 360 controller drops to $50

Anyone that knows me personally knows I am obsessed with all things red, but even that could not convince me to purchase thisLimited Edition wireless red 360 controller, which was originally priced at a whopping $64.99. It does include a Play & Charge cable in the package, but still, that’s like, more than the cost of a game! Anyway, if you’re cheap like me but enjoy shiny red things, you may be tempted by the $49....

Ye mutinous dogs It’s almost March, and that means it’s almost time for Rare’s shared-world pirate adventure gameSea of Thieves. If yesterday’s look atskeleton fortsleft you counting the days until March 20, some good news: there’s another chance to mess with the beta. Rare is holding a second scale test this weekend.

The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest is a sly tribute to one of the worst Castlevania games

Retroware hasofficially announcedthe Programancer developedThe Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, a side-scrolling action game based on the questionableCastlevania II: Simon’s Quest. It’s coming to PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox sometime in 2025. Some people like the game and that’s okay, butSimon’s Questis the sort of game I put up on the autopsy table to dissect it to find what went wrong. There’s definitely worse on the NES, but it’s pretty difficult to find a worse game in theCastlevaniaseries....

This is likely our first look at the Ryu amiibo

A Toys”R”Us terminal Nintendo is slow to provide nearly any news for upcoming amiibo, outside of some recent exceptions for bundles. Basically, we have very little idea of what newer amiibo even look like, or where they may be exclusive. While we know nothing about the latter right now, Twitter userFanLoxxcaught a look at Ryu from a Toys”R”Us terminal, and it looks appropriately legit. Lucas will arrive in January alongside of the second wave ofAnimal Crossingamiibo, so it would stand to reason that Ryu would follow that release....
