“Indies should definitely jump onto the PS Vita” Brian Provinciano, the creative mind behind the wonderfulRetro City Rampage, took to Twitter recently and shared how the game has fared on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam. The clear winner is easily PSN, as RCR has “sold much more on PSN than XBLA and more on PS Vita than even PS3,” Brian stated. This isn’t including all the copies ofRCRout there through the PlayStation Plus service either, as Brian reiterated that the game hassoldmore on PSN than XBLA....

Welcome to Monday, folks. A special kind of Monday, if you will. The kind of Monday where things are starting to feel a little, I don’t know … sexier. Blame it on the fact that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but I’m already feeling the vibe from the all the make-out sessions that are about to happen. A piece of advice for you V-Day hopefuls, though. Before you grab your significant other and partake in the ritual of over commercialized passion (or yourD....

Please give my $5M for A la cartridge While I have my reservations about theShenmue 3Kickstarter, which is still not even halfway towards a “true open world,” folks have thrown money at it with aplomb. Over the weekend, perhaps spurred by a false sense of freedom (or apologies for the women’s world cup result),Shenmue 3passedTorment: Tides of Numenera($4.2M) to become the second most funded video game on Kickstarter. First is the recentBloodstained: Ritual of the Night($5....

Crawling towards a release Days Gone, the PlayStation 4-exclusive game about bikers and hordes of zombies, won’t make its planned 2018 release window. According to a statement made by Sony toUSGamer, the open-world title has been delayed until 2019. Days Gonedebuted at Sony’s E3 conference back in 2016, where viewers were introduced to its post-apocalyptic world full of badass bikers and a roaming mass of zombies. Though the walking dead aren’t exactly the most exciting enemies in the world, developer Bend Studio’s efforts looked pretty neat....

‘Tell ’em I’m fackin’ coming’ We are less than 24 hours out from the launch of theStreet Fighter 6beta, and developer Capcom is taking this short period before the chaos kicks off to fill us in on some of the small, but awesome features heading toward its pugilistic sequel — Submitted for your approval:customizable challenger screens. The legendary “Here Comes a New Challenger” screen is a staple of theStreet Fighterseries, popping up whenever somebody dropped in a quarter and slapped the 2P start button, giving you that sinking feeling that the solo fun you had been enjoying was, in fact, coming to an end....

Promoted from our community blogs! [LimoMaker’s seen his fair share of cynicism in gaming but this past year has got to take the cake. I’ve always been of the mind that you love the damn games that you love, and to not let anyone change your mind, even if TheBlondeBass says otherwise (aboutPokémon). Also, don’t forget about this month’s bloggers wanted prompt, thespecial little placeswhere we play our games! ~Strider]...

Could we see Odyssey 2 in a few years? With Nintendo’s lengthy “it’s done when it’s done” development cycles, it’s easy to think that some games started life on older platforms before they migrated over into the modern era. But that’s not the case forMario Odyssey,according to its producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. Speaking to Game Informer, he explains plainly, “It was always planned for Nintendo Switch. We really were considering a lot of the hardware capabilities specifically for this game, and wanted to make the most use of them....

Gimmicky business cards are the worst. They won’t fit in your card file, they’re easier to lose, and they make you feel silly giving out your plain old paper one. Crappy variations include those little half-height ones, the awful round coaster-like cards, or the ones that are just a bit taller than the rest. Some business cards are actually dangerous. Hideo Kojima shared this image of interlocking, blade-like business cards for the core team behindMetal Gear Rising: Revengeance....

If these get a million views each, surely then Nintendo will show us Pikmin 4, right? The recentNintendo Treehouse Live deep diveinto the upcomingPikmin 3 Deluxereally sold me on picking up the title for Switch even if I still have it for Wii U with most of the DLC. The local co-op, advanced control options, and playable side stories are more than enough reason for me to jump back into it....

Valorant won’t be good until 1.6 Counter-Strikeis a series I’ve sunk a stupid amount of my life into, and since I stopped playingCS:GOroughly three to four years ago, nothing has taken its place as my immediate go-to time-waster between games. I playedOverwatchat launch and fell off after a few weeks, and that’s pretty much been the same story for every big FPS game this generation. Admittedly, it’s because I’m regularly playing new games or ticking off games from my backlog, making it feel like I can no longer justify the time to become competitive again and genuinely stick with something....
