Chengwei Pan is an artist who has done some work for Riot on League of Legends. You've probably seen it if you play the game, as he's done art for stuff like the Pool Party and the banner image for LoL's metal band Pentakill.
The kind of swordfighting you see in movies and TV shows, where everything is graceful and balletic and entertaining, is fiction. Nobody ever fought like that. The real thing was messy.
No, the next game from The Behemoth isn't a sequel to Castle Crashers. I mean, yeah, that'd be nice to have one day, but I'm loving how the studio is continuing to try new things. And its next project, the to-be-properly-named "Game 4," is most certainly a New Thing for the team.
It's a turn-based strategy role-played game with the style and humor we've come to expect from The Behemoth. So, pretty freaking great. Will Stamper even returns from BattleBlock Theater to narrate again. What begins as a typical fantasy adventure with swords and shields quickly morphs into a tale of robots, vampires, and anthropomorphic cupcakes. Knights getting extracted via space shuttle? Yeah, something's not quite right here.
As shown in the teaser trailer, a space bear has crash landed into a planet -- your planet -- and the universe hasn't been the same ever since. Just chaos, left and right. I was fortunate enough to spend well over an hour with Game 4 at PAX Prime and in that time, far more questions were raised than answered. I laughed more than a few times, though, and really dug the combat.
Marketing and timing didn't help, but one of the biggest reasons cited in the untimely demise of the Dreamcast was the ease with which games could be pirated. That may be, but as Michael Gapper reminds us, it was also one of the best things about the system.
Last year was a sad year. Sure, I got some new consoles and handhelds, which is always fun, but I also said goodbye to my Wii, my Xbox 360 and my Nintendo DS, all replaced by newer, more expensive machines. Lots of good memories there, lots of good times to say goodbye to. My PS3, however, lingered on.
In the spirit of the Sinister Six or possibly that Marvel event where all the villains swapped heroes, Screen Junkies and Cinema Sins have teamed up to deliver a one-two Everything Wrong With/Honest Trailer punch to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, with a twist!
Good morning, everyone! Welcome to Kotaku's review of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Since the two of us—Jason and Kirk—have already spent a ton of time this year talking about Danganronpa, we figured we'd team up to review the sequel together.
When people think Smash Bros., they think multiplayer—people huddled around a TV, furiously pressing Gamecube controller buttons as characters like Fox and Marth dart across the screen. But playing against the computer can be plenty entertaining, too.
