Sup, Holmes?: Embrace the hate with Christine Love

Today onSup, Holmes?we haveChristine Love, developer ofAnalogue: A Hate Story,Digital: A Love Story, the very EVO appropriate text-based fighting gameLake City Rumble II:The New Challengers, and many others. Christine designed a text-adventure which has become an underdog hit on Steam — quite an achievement in today’s graphics focused culture. I’d love to know how she pulled that off, and what her plans are for her next game. She’s also a big fighting game fan, so we’re sure to be talking about EVO, the FGC, and how the language of text adventures and fighters overlap....

The final boss from Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s latest DLC has a silly weakness

Spoilers, obviously Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Champions’ Ballad, the second DLC forBreath of the Wild, seems to be just as polarizing as the first, as far as players are concerned anyway. While the general buzz seems to be in the positive direction (including my mostly positive review), fans wanted more story, especially after Nintendo had been teasing a campaign-heavy DLC for months on end. What we got instead was a collective of challenge rooms and quests, as well as a new final dungeon and boss....

Batman’s gonna have a hell of a hard time in the Telltale finale

Bruce Wayne (Batman) has gotten himself into quite the predicament this time. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise because, literally, everyBatmanstory is about him getting into quite the predicament. Chalk holds in Telltale’s adaption. The finale releases tomorrow and it features a video game locale that we’re used to. Arkham Asylum is the setting and all of its prisoners are mighty pissed at the Batman. There will probably be less freeflow combat and more weighty dialogue choices....

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel’s second piece of DLC is out December 16

Welcome to the Holodome 2K Games announcedtoday the second DLC pack forBorderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and as with thefirst pack, it iscommendable in some ways but disappointing in others. InThe Holodome Onslaught, Axton and Gaige join the crew in Sanctuary, but having missed Athena’s first two recounts of the events on Elpis, they ask to hear an abridged version. This version only includes the violence, with none of the exposition. Or in other words, it’s like Horde Mode....

Destructoid review: Playing Columbine

Slightly over a year ago, IinterviewedDanny Ledonne about his first (and so far, only) independently-developed videogame,Super Columbine Massacre RPG!. Then again, maybe “interviewed” isn’t the right word: over the course of about an hour, I lambasted him over what I felt to be the game’s most thematically ineffective and irresponsible aspect (namely the second half of the game, set entirely in Hell) and we essentially argued back and forth to no ultimate conclusion....

Doctor Who: Empire of Death summed up in one word would be “anticlimactic”

The season 14 finale ofDoctor Whowas released into the world on June 21, and whereas The Legend of Ruby Sunday set us up for an epic experience, what we got instead fell flat. Fans are understandably upset, so what went wrong? I’m not even sure where to begin, to be honest. It could be the terrible CGI effects ofSutekhas he was dragged behind the TARDIS inside the Time Vortex, or maybe it’s the anti-climax of discovering the true identity of Ruby’s mother....
