When Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux said his next game was based on a “single, pure thought,” it was hard to imagine what exactly he meant. Despite opportunity, Molyneux hasn’t elaborated on the statement, so it’s onlyfairthat we speculate. Could the game be about something as simple as pooping? Or could it be something lofty like justice or survival? We’ve recently come across concept art from two different Lionhead games about the latter choices....

After a month oflegal dramabetween Jason West, Vince Zampella and their former corporate overlords at Activision, the predictable has occurred. Announced in a press release today, West and Zampella have formed a new studio, Respawn Entertainment, and have established an exclusive publishing partnership with chief Activision rival, Electronic Arts. I mean, really, we all saw this coming, right? “Respawn Entertainment marks a fresh start for Jason and me,” said Vince Zampella in the release, followed by the traditionally positive statements which publicly accompany all new relationships....

A demo forResident Evil Revelationshas appeared on the 3DS eShop today. You should play it if you get the chance, but whatever you do, don’t try the demo more than 30 times — Reggie Fils-Aime’s top men will hunt you down. Yes, in a bizarre twist, theRevelationsdemo is restricted to 30 “uses.” When attempting to initiate the software, a message will pop up saying as much, which has me thinking this could be standard across all demos....

You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone A huge swath of video game-related video content was erased with one fell swoop yesterday. Machinima, a large network of YouTube gaming channels, had all of its videos removed without any sort of prior warning given to the creators. This comes as a result of a planned merger with Ellation, which is a part of Otter Media, which is actually a division of AT&T and WarnerMedia....

If you are already a fan of the other games in the series, there’s no question why the excitement is so great for theEnglish translation ofMother 3. Maybe you haven’t discussed or even heard of the game, and reading all these fervent declarations of rapture is a little confusing for you: why is this game such a big deal anyway? I could tell you that I’ve played them all, and pretend like I am incredibly knowledgeable, but I’m not going to even attempt to fool you: that just isn’t true....

Podtoid 438 The world has been such a dark place as of late that it was nice to see something as nice and wholesome as a Nintendo Direct last week. It’s a great way to take your mind off the troubles at hand and focus on all the games you’ll be spending your “corona check” on this Spring. That’s just one of the topics on hand for this new episode of Podtoid....

I wish everyday was Halloween In the past, she was in a band with Superman. In the present, she’s Captain Marvel, one the most powerful space-fairing super heroes in modern film. How the heck do you top all that? If you’re Brie Larson, the answer is simple – become one of the most beloved, badass protagonists in video game history. It was just aHalloween costume at first, but when folks caught wind of it, Larson was quick to note thatshe would actually love to star in aMetroidfilmas Samus Aran....

You guys should have this locked down by now — anything that features neon colors, bumpin’ synth music, and an overall ’80s aesthetic is going to catch my eye pretty much immediately. Now I’m not a huge fan of racing games, but how couldMusic Racernot appeal to me? I’m nothing if not predictable. So, if you’re anything like me then you’re in luck — we’ve got some Xbox One keys available for you to try it out for yourself!...

Here I was thinking that I wouldn’t have to worry about Black Friday coverage for a couple of weeks.

Can you guess the song choice? Class-based multiplayer gameAce of Spadeshas landed on Steam today, and accompanying its arrival is the obligatory launch trailer with the only appropriate song Jagex could have used. Motörhead might be the obvious selection, but props for seeing the licensing through. Originally, I had expected this game to go the free-to-play route, though that is not actually the case.At $9.99,Ace of Spadesdoes appear to check off the right boxes with a zombie survival mode, a mode which encourages base destruction instead of outright kill counts, and more....
