Valentine’s day is un-ruined A goodDigimongame needs to have just the right mix of cringeworthy cheese and skill-based combat, and it looks likeDigimon World: Next Orderis right on track. The story trailer released today runs down the plot for the game, which is unsurprisingly similar to otherDigimonadventures: a big robo-dinosaur is being a jerk, and your teenaged anime self and talking animal/plant/garbage friends are the only ones who can stop it....

You’d think Austin Wintory would have better tools We recently had a chance to chat withJourneyand TheBanner Sagacomposer Austin Wintory, and as a fellow musician I took the opportunity to talk shop. Curious about which tools he uses to create music with, I asked about his studio setup. Given that Wintory is an accomplished, Grammy-nominated composer for games and film, I expected a list of the finest hardware, and not a Casio toy....

All the food is for him [Header courtesy of Deviantart userKrukmeister] If you remember from earlier in the year, HAL Laboratory announced thatKirbywould be gettingthree 3DS gamesthis year. While one was merely an upgraded, standalone release of a mini-game included inTriple Deluxe, the second was a title calledBlowout Blast. Not much is known about the game, other than it being set in a 3D world. If you’ve been looking forward to the title, you won’t have much longer to wait....

In this first look at how the sequel aims to evolve the open world concept, senior director Bryan Intihar showed off the game’s world, which has effectively doubled in size when you consider the inclusion of both Brooklyn and Queens.

Going nowhere anytime soon Does whatever a spider can indeed, like climb to a high, outta reach area and stay there, gloating down on your terrible attempts to throw a shoe at him. The shoes in this particular case being Square Enix’Shadow of the Tomb Raiderand 2K Games’NBA 2K19.Jeez, let’s just abandon this metaphor right now… It was a rough weekend for Lara, as the sales figures of the latest title in the Tomb Raider reboot series are reportedly down70 percenton the opening sales for the 2013Tomb Raider....

Three plants, three zombies A part of me doesn’t want to hear any vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2knowing full well that it’s not releasing until spring 2016. I was way into the original. I’ll be way into this. The cast includes six new classes on top of the returning crew. The fresh faces are: Imp and Z-Mech, Citron, Super Brainz, Rose, Captain Deadbeard, and Kernal Corn. 14 classes. 100+ character variants....

Dungeons and Dragons Something a little different from Hamster this week, as the newest addition to itsbewildering Arcade Archives collectionis UPL’s unique top-down fantasy adventureVandyke, which is now available to download on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Released to arcades in 1990,Vandykeis an amalgamation of titles such as Sega’sGolden Axeand SNK’sIkari Warriors III, as muscle-bound He-Man battles his way through a monster-filled fantasy universe, but in vertically scrolling, top-down form. Initially armed with a gnarly broadsword, our hero can gather new weaponry, such as a flail and a mace, and also call upon screen-zapping magical abilities for when the melee gets a little too close for comfort....

Multiplayer andMass Effectin the same sentence? Huh!? My primitive mind struggles to fathom such a concept. If a job listing from BioWare Montreal calling for multiplayer programmers to work on the “Mass Effectuniverse” is to be believed — which, really, why the heck wouldn’t it be? — then fans are in for a treat. Should such a thing come to fruition, there are a bunch of ways multiplayer can be handled, all of which are completely ambitious....
