This trailer should serve as an ample reminder in case you've forgotten, or in the event that you haven't seen a friendly neighborhood hostage crisis yet today.

Deals: Cheap 4K, Cheap Solid State, FTL Advanced, Ground Zeroes


Samsung's 4K monitor is the early winner in the 4K monitor wars, and this price is unprecedented. Considering a 4K display has the same number of pixels as four 1080p monitors, this is actually an insanely reasonable price-per-pixel. [Samsung 4K Monitor, $530]

Playing The Order 1886 Feels Like Shooting Through an Old Movie

News::Every Club Nintendo Platinum reward is digital this year

Well, this is disappointing. Although Nintendo used to release cool products like hats and statues for its Club Nintendo Platinum members, this year it's all digital. Yep, both the Platinum and Gold ranks are digital-only, with no physical reward options in sight.


If you're Platinum, you can choose between Game & Wario, NES Remix, EarthBound, Dr. Luigi, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Fluidity: Spin Cycle, Dillon's Rolling Western, and Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move.


You'll also be able to choose a Gold level option if you're Platinum, including Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros., Zelda II, Donkey Kong 3, Wario Land 2, Metroid, and Super Mario Land 2.


Honestly, Game & Wario and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D are probably the best value (they're both roughly $30 new even now), since they are technically retail games, and everything else is either a download or a Virtual Console title. Still, it's disappointing that there isn't a physical item in there in some form.

News::Review: Abyss Odyssey (PC) | G3AR

G3AR: "Abyss Odyssey is a game that really can only exist in the indie space. Its the amalgamation of several genres, ideas and even art-styles into a singular whole that no big name developer would ever dream of creating. A lot of the time this is a good thing; it means a team (in this case Chilean developers, ACE Team) are thinking outside of the box and attempting something new."

News::Spacecom Hands-On Preview {Critically Sane}

Critically Sane: "Spacecom surprised me. Space 4X games as a genre tend to be intimidating in complexity, to the extent that a certain other writer from this site tends to shut his brain off when I talk about them. Between research trees, planet types, dozens of buildings with varying effects, and statistics everywhere, neophytes have a tough time finding their way. And when I launched my alpha build of Spacecom, without much knowledge of what I was hopping into, those features are what I expected to see. What I found, instead, was a game that was much more minimalist a game about space conquest that, while not simplistic, was easy to understand and get into, and played very, very fast."
