For anyone familiar with the Xbox 360 iteration ofTropico 3, you will most certainly find yourself on familiar grounds with the sequel. During the Kalypso Summer Event at the San Francisco Bay Aquarium, I had a chance to check out the Xbox 360 version ofTropico 4and compare and contrast it to the PC version on hand. I’ll start with a statement that may be obvious as I’ve admitted as much in earlier previews: I’ve never actually playedTropico 3....

It’s an all too common story in the world of gaming. A great development team creates an amazing game and a franchise is born and moved over to a different development team, which often results in a whole lot less amazement. Of course, from whatwe’ve seenofBioShock 2that might not be the end result, but it is certainly how the story begins asit isn’t Ken Levine and the rest of his teamthat are working on the sequel....

It’s now coming after March 2018 BioWare’s new intellectual property is seemingly going toremain elusivefor some time to come. The vaguely-talked-about project, which was previously described as an action-adventure game that’ll “bring players together in exciting ways,” is no longer on track for release by the end of March 2018.

Yet, in a recentReutersreport, Bleszinski was caught cheating on me in favor ofcasual gamers. From the article: We want casual gamers to play the game and be sucked into the universe and finish the game....

Via Itch.io Most people look atBloodborneand have nightmares that very same day. Max Mraz looked atBloodborneand thought “what if it was super cute and also kindaZelda?” The result is Yarntown, which is a deliciously good name for a less intense version of From Software’s Lovecraftian nightmare world. It’s not just a concept either, asyou can play it now on Itch.io for free. It utilizes the top-downZeldastyle camera combined with a simple movement system that allows for melee and ranged attacks, as well as dodgerolling and blood vial healing....

Even though the entire day seems to have been dedicated to the Wii U, let’s not forget about the last piece of hardware the Big N dropped on an unprepared world. Games will still be coming out for it, don’t worry. LikeCave Story, for example, which has been announced as having a release date of October 4 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop for $9.99. Not to be confused withCave Story 3D(released late last year as a 3DS cartridge), this version ofCave Storyis a different remake of the now classic indie PC game and has several new features in addition to 3D visuals, including a true widescreen presentation and a new batch of challenge modes....
