If you love theValkyria Chroniclesfranchise as much as I do, this artbook should go on your Christmas wish list. UDON Entertainment has announcedValkyria Chronicles 3: Complete Artworksfor a December release. There’s 256 color pages of art by illustrator Raita Honjou to flip through in this lovely book, but you’ll want to get down on the text as well.

It’s a family affair Before drifting to sleep these past several nights, I’ve thought about my favorite multiplayer game,WarioWare Inc.:Mega Party Game$!, and how it will almost certainly hold that honor forever. It’s been on my mind lately because,like Nic, I associate the holidays with couch-based multiplayer. In our family,WarioWare Inc.is it: the ultimate feel-good game that anyone, regardless of skill – and especially those with minimal skill – can enjoy....

Whoever has the power glove will win I don’t know why it took Nintendo so long to make the Nintendo World Championships a semi-regular thing, but I hope today’s broadcast is successful enough that it becomes a yearly event. Ever since I sawThe Wizard, the 100-minute theatrical commercial forSuper Mario Bros. 3, I’ve done everything I could to become a Nintendo champion. Well, that is to say, I’ve bought and played a crap-load of Nintendo games....

Ask away! If you haven’t heard by now, Podtoid is back and worse than ever before. Each week, I’m joined by Chris Moyse, Dan Roemer, Charlotte Cutts, and Occams the Ban-Hammer as we discuss games, stupid shit in the news,The Simpsonsmore often than we should, and so much more. It’s the podcast TIME magazine called : [Quote Not Found]. One of the staples of old Podtoid was the community questions segments they did at the end of each show and this week, we’re bringing that back....

2025 has been a fantastic year for gaming so far, with shadow drops that blew us away and major releases that surpassed expectations. While 2023 was an exciting time,gaming in 2024was slightly underwhelming, but 2025 has been a blast so far. It is very easy to forget the sheer volume of games that launch throughout an entire year. One month alone can have dozens of releases, let alone the rest, as game development teams announce their plans....

The cat is so far out of the bag Every company goes through the pre-E3 rumor mill. Most of them are just the subject of well-founded (or sometime ill-founded) speculation. The build-up to Microsoft’s show has been a little different in that most of the gossip has been extremely easy to substantiate. Amazon just made that even easier. The hardware speculation surrounding the Redmond giant was that there’d be a new base model of Xbox One with a 1TB hard drive, and that anupdated controllerwas set to release that featured a 3....

There’s also a sale on the Square Enix library I had forgotten that Apogee Software made a sidescrolling shoot-’em-up — one with ’90s-rific pre-rendered 3D graphics, no less. That’s more to do with my terrible memory and general cluelessness when it comes to the genre than a statement about the quality ofStargunner. The game has been freeware for quite a few years, at this point, but there’s something about adding these titles to your library on a familiar digital distribution service that makes them seem somehow better....

The oddball promotion will have daily login bonuses (where’sMr. Yukwhen you need him?...

Revisiting gamers’ favorite era Another year, anotherCall of Duty. But wait, this time we’re going back to the roots. All the way back to World War II. Why? Because it’s “in” again, that’s why. Developed by Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, the latest titleCall of Duty: WWIIwill launch tomorrow at 12:00am Eastern, which means you have less than 10 hours to pre-load tonight. If you still haven’t started since pre-load became available last week, be prepared for a wait as the download is a giant 58GB (35GB for the single-player campaign, and 36GB for multiplayer)....

Mobile app updated While two-factor methods of online security and authenticators do a decent job at protecting users, a lot of people find them cumbersome. So Blizzard has decided to push an update to their authenticator app, which doesn’t require you to input your security code every time you log in. Now, you just need to authenticate your log in once per week, and then hit the “approve” or “deny” button on the app....

According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier,Modern Warfare 3was developed in about half the timeCall of Dutytitles usually take. With only a year and a half to work on the game, development was fraught with issues, Schreier’s sources reveal. As Schreier explains,MW3was originally pitched as a DLC, but the game was suddenly turned into a standalone title to fill in a gap in the company’s release schedule after another 2023CoDgame planned for this year was delayed....
