Whether you enjoyed Wednesday’s PlayStation Showcase or not, what can’t be argued is we were showna lot of impressive stuff from Spider-Man 2. Many of you have been combing through its trailer and gameplay ever since, and some now believe we may have even been shown evidence that at some point during the game, players will have to battle against Peter Parker’s Spidey as Miles Morales. While there was plenty of evidence Peter is struggling with his new symbiote, the most telling moment Miles may have to fight his mentor comes whenSpider-Mancrashes through a warehouse ceiling....

Square Enixis unveiling a new game in a couple of days! Sounds cool, right? Well, no. It’s anNFTgame, so of course, almost no one seems to be aware that it’s meant to be launching soon. If anything, it seems like the publisher is embarrassed by the whole thing, and after taking a look at its Twitter account, it’s easy to see why. Symbiogenesis,the game that everyone thought would be a new Parasite Eve instalment, will feature a faction called Normies....

Team Fortress 2’s Big Slappy has become legend, known far and wide for some truly awe-inspiring butt cheeks. It’s silly and excessive, but also charismatic, instantly recognisable, and one of those things that gives the fan-made side of gaming its character and anarchic culture. Sadly, however,Steamuser Coolchou Zhao who did the truly important work of adding a Scout cosmetic inspired by the Big Slappy meme to the Steam Workshop was banned....

Appearing extremely rarely in packs of Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation, the Amonkhet Invocations were the final entry inMagic: The Gathering’sshort-lived Masterpiece series. These proved to be the most divisive of the three series, featuring a much more in-your-face frame than before, and a less cohesive theme in terms of the cards featured, with everything from legendary creatures to instants and sorceries included.

Just like othertower defense games, Kingdom Rush has you repurchase and replace your towers with every level and every attempt. But thankfully, you may also buy upgrades that carry across levels. Many of these upgrades simply increase the damage of a specific tower or special attack, but some add new abilities and strategies.

One of the core tenets ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis that you can let your imagination run free. If something is theoretically possible in the game’s intricate physics system, it’s most likely possible in practice as well. And from the looks of it, Tears of the Kingdom will also follow this path of letting players' imagination run wild.Nintendo encourages players to take the most unorthodox approach to any problem presented in Breath of the Wild....

The flavor is a big part ofMagic: The Gathering’s continued success, but it’s also a difficult concept to put down in words. It represents the intersection of art, flavor text, individual card mechanics, and the wider game beyond: an intricate contraption in which every card is a crucial gear.

For the longest time, video games have featured playable animals. The big boom was during the mascot craze in the ’90s, but even before then, there were lots of playable animals in games. Many of the more popular ones are animals that are more common as pets, like cats or dogs.

The new commercial for Tears of the Kingdom, which tells the story of a burnt-out business man rediscovering his sense of adventure while playing the new Zelda game, is a total bummer. Its gray, moody cinematography and melancholic tone feel like an inappropriately dour way to advertise a Nintendo game about building flying cars in Hyrule, and I’m not surprised to see itgetting memed on social media. What does concern me is the people unironically talking about how relatable it is, and how insightful Nintendo is for making it....

Controlling your character’s movement may seem like a standard video game mechanic, but you would be surprised to find just how many games forgo it entirely. Whether for technical limitations, stylistic purposes, or simply because the genre doesn’t call for it, movement can be skipped over in favor of other types of interactions.
