One of Nintendo’s most prestigious video game series of all time,The Legend Of Zelda, has a pretty good track record when it comes to re-releases. Almost every game in the series has been ported or remade in some capacity over the years. Still, it’s a good precedent for the series, knowing thatre-releasesof classics are plentiful.

Quick Links Magic: The Gatheringhas finally lifted the lid on its massive conclusion Elesh Norn’s Phyrexian invasion of the Multiverse. March of the Machine brings to a close a story that has been years in the making, and with a set that spans almost every plane, we need plenty of new mechanics to go with them.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has a bunch of bad guys, and thelatest trailer at this year’s PlayStation Showcasehas given us a closer look at some newcomers. While the majority of it concentrated on Peter Parker’s new symbiote suit, a fight with Kraven, and Miles Morales hunting down Lizard, there was a very brief moment in which we saw another iconic Spider-Man villain that Insomniac Games hasn’t mentioned as of yet. Shortly into the trailer, we see Kraven in the jungle along with a bunch of his cronies....

Players have been discussing whether Beam Ammunition should be removed from a potential remaster of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. While the debate remains ongoing, a slight majority has emerged in favor of keeping the controversial equipment. The use of beam weapons which consume ammunition as they’re used represents a core mechanic in Metroid Prime 2. This has long been a point of contention among players, with some arguing that ammunition management adds a layer of strategy and challenge to the game, while others believing that such a mechanic actually detracts from the overall experience....

Need for Speed Unboundplayers have been crying out for a bit more depth to the post-game for a little while now, and developer Criterion has finally delivered with the upcoming Need For Speed Unbound - Volume 2 update.

WhenAmnesia: The Bunkerwas firstrevealed at the end of last year, fans were surprised to see the protagonist wielding a gun. Amnesia famously kept its players on edge by withholding any meaningful means of defense, and having a gun just seemed like an easy way out. Well, we have good news or bad news, depending on how you approach survival horror games like Amnesia. According to a recent preview, Henri’s revolver won’t do much to damage the terrifying monster that’s pursuing him through the bunker....

Pokemonbecame a huge deal 25 years ago and has remained that way ever since. Dominating the world of anime, trading cards, and video games, you may have forgotten about Pokemon’s OG Pokedex toy, a replica of Ash’s device that taught you more about your favorite Pokemon, and a productNintendoapparently attempted to bury before it ever came to market. That’s according to Chris Nicolella, Hasbro and Tiger’s former senior games producer. Nicolella explained just how arduous a process it was to get the Pokedex made toJohto Times(thanks,Nintendo Life) because Nintendo of Japan thought it would negatively affect the sales of Pokemon’sGame Boygames....

It seems like every major studio is competing to make the biggest and best open world these days. These games have nuanced freedom of movement which lead to multiple ways of experiencing them. Everybody’s playthrough will be different. As gamers ask for more and more player agency, studios respond with bigger and bigger worlds, with more side-quests, more NPCs, and more random events - but it’s not always a good solution....

The first half of 2022 was filled with reports and rumors suggestingPlayStationwas busy building its own version ofGame Pass. PlayStation eventually caved and confirmed that was indeed the case. Well, sort of. It’s evident PlayStation isn’t particularly interested in creating a Game Pass replica. The thought of people not having to pay £70 for games likeGod Of War RagnarokandHorizon Forbidden Westlikely sends shivers down Jim Ryan’s spine. It’s going to be a while before we get games of that size onPS Plusday one....

TheRainbow Six SiegeInvitational in Montreal this weekend feels like a transitional period forUbisoft’stactical shooter. It didn’t begin its life in 2015 as a live service hit, but evolved into one out of necessity. Ubisoft saw where the gamer winds were blowing and sought to turn its premiere multiplayer experience into one that fans could call home for decades, with the company dedicating another ten years to the title as its eighth comes into view....

Resident Evil 4is an incredibly camp video game. The campy nature of its horror and characters is so ingrained that it’s often taken for granted, and many people who call itthe greatest horror game ever made (me, for example)talk about the level design, the oppressive nature of the enemies, the spectacular and varied set-pieces, and that iconic opening more than anything else. These are all fantastic elements that make the game what it is, but its sense of humour is often overlooked....

Capcomhas sent out a survey, asking if fans would pick up a new platform if aResident Evilgame went console exclusive. This suggests that the studio is toying with the idea of scrapping multiplatform releases, testing the waters to see if it would be financially viable to stick with eitherPlayStationorXbox, not both. This comes towards the end of an otherwise unassuming survey, which mostly covers whereResident Evil 4 Remakefans picked up the game, and which platform they’re playing on....
