News::Card Games' Emergence: Something You May Not Know

While there is no doubt that there mobile card games are here to stay, it should be noted that card games have existed since decades ago, beginning with the likes of Pokemon, Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh!. The only difference is probably that the games are free and easily accessible. Even without those factors, games play Pokemon and Magic the Gathering have survived even till today. This is definitely something to take note of. It could mean that this is not the creation of a trend, rather than a technological advancement that made a popular trend even more popular. This, of course, is pure speculation.

News::Here's how Miegakure's four-dimensional puzzles work

Miegakure has been around for several years -- and it's not done yet -- but the last time I took a real good look at it, the game was still rocking placeholder art. It's been a while.

In all that time, the core concept of solving puzzles in a four-dimensional world never made much sense to me, but this video is on the right track, I think. It's starting to click for me!

That 2D/3D section shown in the video is actually a playable part of Miegakure and if you've made it through Fez, it should be easy enough to wrap your head around.

The next step? Getting my hands on this at PAX Prime. It's part of the Indie Megabooth.

News::The Forgotten Ones | Hardcore Games

Hardcore Games: "A good psychological horror game cooks up a potent mixture of paranoia, bewilderment and suspense, and keeps you stewing in it until (and occasionally, beyond) the grand finale. Its a careful balance of flavors: enough of a sense of disorientation to keep players curious, but with just the right whiff of clarity, some hope that answers can truly be found if the game is completed. Unfortunately, The Forgotten Ones, Bernt Andreas Eides Half-Life 2 mod-turned standalone action / horror game, feels like the product of a heavy-handed, over-zealous high-school cafeteria cook, foregoing subtlety in favor of a bunch of generic elements slapped together with a near total lack of skill and aesthetic."

News::The years have not been kind to Resident Evil's visuals

Capcom has posted screenshots of its 2015 remaster of Resident Evil as well as equivalent shots from the so-called "REmake." There are even sliders on Capcom-Unity so you can quickly see how the new version stacks up to the Wii port of the GameCube remake.

The side-by-side comparisons are like getting new prescription glasses. "Holy shit! How did I live like that? I was blind!" Besides the obvious reduction in blurriness, there's improved lighting.

I sometimes forget how not-great GameCube titles look on HDTVs. Still adore the console, though.
