Play Mega Man on the Atari 2600, if you wanna

Two years ago, for the2007I Am 8-bitgallery, artist David Galloway (re)created Capcom’s originalMega Manon the Atari 2600. If I were picky, I would insist that Galloway’s de-make be played on anAtari 8-bit Familymachine to fully do justice to the gallery’s name, but that seems like splitting pixels. Fastfoward to last Sunday, when Galloway released a playable ROM demoon the Atari Age forums. The game consists of four vertical screens and one very tough Elecman....

Quantum Break piqued my curiosity, but it still has a lot to prove

It could go many different ways Remedy Entertainment has made a living by following a tried-and-true formula: take a third-person shooter, support it with a catchy and innovative gameplay mechanic, and wrap it all up with an emphasis on narrative.Max Paynedid it with stylish slow-motion dives while slinging bullets with pinpoint precision.Alan Wakeused equal parts light and lead to fend off the evil that encapsulated Bright Falls. And, whileQuantum Break‘s Jack Joyce doesn’t lend his namesake to a title, he has his own methods to ensure that he’ll be a memorable figure....

Rockstar explains why it doesn’t bring in big name actors anymore for games like Red Dead Redemption 2

The clash Ray Liotta was a boon forGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, but not everyone got along so well with the production staff at Rockstar. Speaking to Vulture, Rockstar boss Dan Houser notes that over the years they’ve had many run-ins with various talent that turned them off and swayed them in the direction of lesser known performers. Houser recalls problems with Burt Reynolds and Chuck D, among others. Clarifying his statement, Houser notes: “I don’t want to speak ill of the dead, poor bugger…but we don’t bring in name actors anymore because of their egos and, most important of all, because we believe we get a better sense of immersion using talented actors whose voices you don’t recognise....

Somehow, Awesomenauts is still being updated

There’s an all-new matchmaking system I’ll never forget the good times I’ve had withAwesomenauts. Ronimo has continued to support its 2D MOBA for years, and it’s to the point now that I can hardly fathom how it’s still able to come out with updates when so many players have moved on. While I’d prefer a sequel at this point, that persistence is admirable. Today’s update, “Rise of Galactron,” addresses matchmaking and networking....

Suda says new Switch No More Heroes might get a physical release

Expect just digital Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroesis one of the most intriguing games of the year. Although it seems to take on quite a bit and straddle multiple genres (by way of a “possessed video game console”) that’s exactly why I’m intrigued — because while not all Suda games are created equal, they’re all worth playing in their own way. And to avoid any confusion Suda is indeed directing this one, adding to said madness....
