Considering that Capcom was ruling the fighting game roost in 1993,Saturday Night Slam Mastersis such a low-key production.Street Fighter 2blended together with a wrestling game sounds like such an amazing concept, but that’s absolutely not whatSaturday Night Slam Mastersis. And that’s really weird, considering that one of the grapplers, Gunloc, has a bio that suggests he is related to a famous street fighter while Chun Li appears in the audience. Yet, despite the references that imply it exists in the same universe asStreet Fighter 2,Saturday Night Slam Mastersis pretty much just a wrestling game....

Blood, blood, gallons of the stuff Shadow Warrior 2is a game that exists for two reasons: To tell dick jokes, and to assault the screen with an endless flurry of violence and viscera. Its newest add-on looks to trim all the fat from that formula, boiling it down to just the essentials. Today, developer Flying Wild Hog releasedThe Way of the Wang, a free add-on toShadow Warrior 2. It’s an arena-based trials thing that’s nothing but combat and commentary....

Hitting PC, PS4, and Xbox One this year I never would’ve guessed Rebellion had so manySniper Elitetitles in it, but people keep buying them, so the studio’s output has been that series and not much else these past several years (aside from a reportedly badassBattlezonereboot for PlayStation VR that I’d really like to try one of these days). It seems video game makers and players will never completely let go of World War II....

Pocket Rocket SNK has released the first gameplay footage taken from “Metal Slug Code: J,” the in-development mobile project currently on the workbenches at Tencent’s TiMi Studios.

Metal Slug Code: Jwill be the 17th entry in SNK chaotic, arcade action franchise (a number which includes multiple spin-offs and remakes). Much like SNK’s ownKing of Fightersseries has in recent years,Code: Jwill be foregoing the classic (and expensive/time-consuming) pixelated visuals of its predecessors, presenting this newest bout of bombastic action via 3D models engaged in 2....

For being a media center, not for games or anything Microsoft winning an Emmy for the Xbox One has set me on a path to learning more about these awards than I’ve ever cared to. Forget about the Primetime Emmys (surprisingly easy, right?) — this goes deeper. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences also gives out awards for, among other things, “outstanding achievement in technical or engineering development.”...

‘One map to rule them all’ From sea to maelstrom-swirling sea, Reddit user Rhianolord managed totweaka near-perfect map forWorld of Warcraft Classicusing Brady Games as a source. Not only is the art incredible, but it’s also practical, as the map shows off useful information like flight paths, more detailed level requirement breakdowns, and other granular locations that the in-game map doesn’t display. Even if you aren’t playingClassicit’s worth taking a look at, as you’ll probably recognize a heap of names from theWarcraftRTS series, or something in passing after hearing aboutWoW(potentially) from other fans for the past few decades or so....

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Rowan Parker, the Creative Director at Riot Forge Games. While some of the interview with Rowan touched on the overall design process at Riot Forge, most of the focus was on the upcomingSong of Nunu: A League of Legends Story. I have to admit I had expected the interview to be rather straightforward. Based on what I had seen from thetrailers forSong of Nunuso far, I thought I knew what was in store....
