Another treasure from the mobile games space courtesy of former Destructoid editor Nick Chester.
This one's called Anna Giving Birth and while I ponder what kind of audience this iPhone/iPad game exists to serve, I'll let the official description set the stage: "Anna got married and she was pregnant in the spring. Now nine months had elapsed, and it's time to give birth to a baby. Anna needs a very experienced doctor to help her deliver her baby. Let's come to help her!"
And the user reviews! Haha, the user reviews. To think, I held off on posting about this for a couple hours. Each time I flipped back to my browser tab, the game's shiny baby icon made me laugh a bit more until finally I decided that, "Yes, writing about Anna Giving Birth is a good idea."
There's also a similar game, Frozen Anna Give Birth A Baby , for our web-browsing friends. You start by monitoring the baby's heartbeat while sexy baby-making music plays in the background.

It's unclear when the next Battlefield Hardline beta will go live, but when it does, it'll be open to all players on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Cops and criminals will vie for control in the familiar Conquest mode, as well as engage in high-speed pursuits in Hotwire. The latter is what I imagined when "Battlefield with cops" was first thrown around. Looks promising. As for maps, we're getting two: Dust Bowl and Downtown.
The first beta didn't leave much of an impression, but I admittedly didn't give it sufficient time to do so. I'll give the game another chance, probably. The uncapped player progression is alluring.
This is the first preview for Dying Light I've seen in a good while that's actually got me curious. Games like this live and die by their worlds, after all. So if there are enough interesting nooks and crannies in Dying Light's city, it'd sure liven up all the zombie-killing within.
Today on Highlight Reel we have exploding Battlefield motorcycles, new ways to kill enemies in Far Cry 4, chill mountain hovering glitches in GTA V and grenade throws in Destiny and DayZ.
All fights on the internet are infuriating wastes of time. We know this. But we still try, and we're often stymied by this particular phenomenon. Learn about Loki's Wager, and why it makes the world a more frustrating place.
I feel like the developer's cribbin' from something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Oh, well. Maybe the 2015 version will be a bit more forward.

You want to explore other universes? Get under the skin of some weird, complicated, are-we-even-sure-they're-human people? Rekindle the love you once had for word balloons and illustrated drama? The comic books being published nowadays are a great place to do that. Here are twelve sequential series that will open you up to all sorts of awesome.
Oh hey there, new trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles X. You're looking oh so fine.
We haven't seen much of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for 3DS, but with the release date only a few weeks away, that's changing. A new 16-minute video provides our best look yet at the remake, which includes a number of gameplay changes to make it more approachable.
