Writing on NeoGAF, Metanet Software co-founder Raigan Burns noted that the studio brought on a new programmer to help with the port. They’ve been working on it for about a month now....

Most strategy games give players command of massive armies, relegating individual soldiers to the status of faceless grunt. Even when players are micromanaging small units, the components of those groups are usually identical and interchangeable. That’s not the case in Firaxis Games’XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the upcoming re-imagining of MicroProse’s 1994 PC classic,X-COM: UFO Defense(namedUFO: Enemy Unknownin Europe and Australia). The top-level story inXCOMis a universal one: in the present day, aliens with higher intelligence and superior technology invade Earth and begin abducting humans....

As of now, there are 3.14 million North American registered users onRagnarok Online.

This looks so damn pretty Rain, a PS3 adventure starring an invisible boy who can only be outlined by rainfall, has a new trailer and screenshots today. They’re worth gawping at, because this is shaping up to be one stylistically pretty game. If Sony did one thing right this generation, it was making sure the PlayStation Network had titles like this. I’m excited to see ifRainis as good as it looks, but either way, I’m glad the PSN has interesting and gorgeous little things like this on it....

WWE 2K23is basically the same gameas last year. Betrayal I put over 60 hours intoWWE 2K22, and that was despite its best efforts. Everything was okay as I performed my review, but the moment 2K Sports started patching it, the whole thing broke. For many of those hours, I was completely unable to access Universe mode. Support said to completely erase all of my save date, and I didn’t spend so much time creating my stable of wrestlemen and wrestleladies just to start from scratch....

Given that it was one of the most popular shows on TV back in its prime, it’s not surprising there have been a number ofvideo game adaptations ofThe Simpsons.

How this works: Players will have access to all eight character class storylines up to level 50, with some restrictions. Going beyond this level to access new game content and features can happen through subscriptions and individual purchases. So, this is like a hybrid F2P model, and microtransations can get you past that level 50 barrier if needed....

But does he feel remorse? In the filmGrizzly Man, director Werner Herzog layers his own thoughts on life, death, and everything in between over footage of ill-fated bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell. I kept gettingGrizzly Manflashbacks while watching the above video, and it’s not just because the narrator has a German accent. There is something about the existential dilemma presented here that smacks of Herzog’s style. A self-aware Mario, capable succumbing to drives like hunger and curiosity while grasping the absolute quality of death is a Mario that’s more than ready for Cannes....
