News::I'm A Man Who Plays As A Woman In Games, And I'm Definitely Not Alone

I self-identify as a straight male-bodied dude, but recently I've taken to playing as a female-bodied character in many games. It's not something the majority of people do, but it's also not uncommon. Oddly, however, men play as women far more than women play as men. Let's break down why people choose the avatars they do.

News::Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails is available now on Nintendo eShop

Dakko Dakko's platform shooter Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails is now available today in the Nintendo eShop today for Wii U owners. Looks like a colorful and frenetic arcade romp with some rad electronica to accompany some rather wild levels.

I've not had a chance to play it, but you roll around, attach yourself to walls, and utilize the GamePad for normal play. Scram Kitty will hang out on the TV screen to offer gameplay tips as well.

Challenge mode is included with Miiverse support as well, and the game will only run you $10 to check it out. Looks like a pretty sound investment if you're looking for a weekend play. Check out the launch trailer and let us know if you plan on pulling the trigger.

News::Heart Forth, Alicia ends its Kickstarter run tonight

Heart Forth, Alicia has done well for itself. The original Kickstarter pitch grabbed my attention and I'm far from the only one -- crowdfunding pledges have come through for nearly every stretch goal.

New game plus. Ports to PS4, Mac, Linux, PS Vita, and Wii U. Contributions from Mega Man composer Manami Matsumae. The game has found an audience, that's for sure.

In these final hours, there's one goal remaining for Heart Forth, Alicia and it's an important one at that: a 3DS version. Wouldn't that be something? An ideal match for this "Metroidvania RPG." $245,000 is needed to make the port a reality and, at the time of writing, approximately $222k has been pledged with several hours left to go. Down to the wire.

News::Watch Dogs exclusive: Los Angeles was considered for main setting, says Morin

XMNR: For a major city with a rich history, the number of video games set in Chicago is surprisingly small. The open-world Watch Dogs is the first attempt to create a reasonable simulation of the city but it started out just one of many from a list that included mainstay settings like Los Angeles, according to an Examiner interview with creative director Jonathan Morin.

News::Battlefield 4 Review Late "4" A Reason

Ace: Before I start We at CCU want to approach our reviews a little differently, by providing you the reader with our history with said game. You know, hitting the extremes and everything in between ie. whether this is our first time (noob) with the franchise (of course New IPs everybodies new to it right?) or if weve bought every game in the franchise or have extensive history or knowledge of a particular title. Basically our personal background so you again the reader can see not just a review score but exactly the mindset behind the review; is this my first time playing A RPG? A first person shooter? Do I even like first person shooters? That way you can determine whether the person reviewing the game is coming from a place where you can relate or if its something that you need to consider. Now As far as the Battlefield Franchise.
