Not that it’s really all that difficult to makeanythingthat’s better thanBattleship. This fake live-actionTetristrailer comes courtesy of Warialasky, thereal-lifeGoldenEyebros. It perfectly encapsulates the essence ofTetris, right down to the falling blocks and… umm… yeah. Know what? How come, when it comes toTetrisvideo parodies, no one ever goes for the obvious joke by saying it’s a ploy by remnants of the old Soviet government to spread a little Red Scare throughout the world?...

They toned it down, but are willing to sex things back up Square Enix recently held a lengthy presentation (starts around 7:30) for its upcomingMevius Final Fantasy. One of the things revealed during the presentation is a new design for lead character Wal that covers up quite a bit of exposed skin present in the initial Onion Knight design. Wal’s outfit will change with the job system. “We looked at the various reactions we were getting online, and in the end, showing this much skin,” producer Yoshinori Kitase started....

Android and iOS Final Fantasy XVis almost its own thing at this point. It hasmore side projects and spinoffsthan many AAA franchises just a year into its life cycle, and if I know Square, they aren’t stopping anytime soon. They aren’t stopping today either, asKing’s Knight: Wrath of the Dark Dragonjust arrived worldwide on iOS and Android. As a recap this is a free-to-play re-imagining of the original 1986 NES gameKing’s Knight, but is somehow jammed into theFinal Fantasy XVuniverse....

Movies and games have always had an ambivalent relationship. Gaming’s the new kid on the block, and it seems pathologically obsessed with clinging onto Hollywoodesque tropes and presentation styles. Nevertheless, with its flourishing popularity, the gaming industry does occasionally show deep-seated desires to forge an independent identity. FMV games complicate the situation further. They’re not quite movies, as you’re invited to interact with the story. On the other hand, when you have live-action scenes in your game, it’s understandable to feel like you’re engaging with the work of folks who’d much rather be on film sets....

This probably goes without saying, but, December isn’t exactly right around the corner. As such, the wait forHawkenhas and continues to be a test of my patience. Cloud gaming service Gaikai has reached an agreement with Meteor Entertainment to offer the mech game before its official 12/12/12 launch. As you are probably aware by now,Hawkenwill be free to play, so this seems like a smart partnership. We get to play a title we’re hyped for early at not cost to us, and Gaikai gets a bunch of new users while, presumably, selling them on the concept of cloud-based gaming as a viable alternative....

We too are ready for this year to end After a dishearteningdelay to 2017, production onGravity Rush 2has wrapped. The soaring action-adventure game is done, according to directorKeiichiroToyamaand producerNick Accordino,who added“See you in January!” We most certainly will. Generally speaking, I don’t pay much attention to games “going gold,” but in this case and a couple of other recent notable examples likeThe Last Guardian, gosh, it feels good to have that confirmation....

The self-styled “media watchdogs” are so very predictable. No sooner hasGrand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damnedbeen released for download, than the moral fearmongers get up in arms about it. Responding to theGTADLC’sfull-frontal male nudity, Common Sense Media has begun itspanicked cluckingin response. “It is even more controversial than its predecessors because this game has full frontal male nudity,” warns Common Sense. “The game lets you lead a life of crime as part of a motorcycle gang with plenty of gang violence… relentless foul language, drugs and alcohol, and sexual references…...

If there’s one misconception that I hate about portable gaming, it’s that both gamers and developers (some, not all) feel that a game made for a handheld should have the same bells and whistles of a console game. Not only that, but a handheld game needs to bejust as longas a console game, with missions lasting upwards of thirty minutes which then end with a ten minute cinematic. Well, that is certainly not the case withUnit 13, Zipper Interactive’s first venture onto the PlayStation Vita....
