Destructoid Review: Knights in the Nightmare

You’ve never played anything likeKnights in the Nightmare. How can I be so sure? Well, every time I try to explain the game play, I find that I have to explain it twice, even to seasoned gamers. But that’s not a bad thing, mind you. In fact, it’s totally refreshing, and it’ll probably make the other DS role-playing titles look dull in comparison. If you can imagine a grid-based tactical strategy role-playing battle combined with a Japanese shoot-’em up, complete with rows of raining bullets, then you’re on your way to understandingKnights in the Nightmare....

Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition probably won’t actually fit in your pocket

Everyone’s favourite shaving simulatorDon’t Starveis coming to iPad! The inaccurately titledDon’t Starve: Pocket Editiondoes two things: The game will be released in iOS tomorrow, July 9, for the very reasonable price of $4.99. This seems to be a more direct port of the game than a mobile downgrade, as it requires iOS 8.0 or later, and the iPads it’ll work on are the higher-spec ones. Still, if I can chase Pigmen around on a tablet then all is well in the world....

EA won’t bring back its Online Pass program

Despite Xbox One changes, the program remains dead Given the policy reversal overXbox One’s DRM, it wasn’t entirely out of the question that Electronic Arts would change its mind and want to keep the Online Pass program going. A stupid scenario, to be sure — do you know anyone who even moderately liked the system? — but still a possibility. The company has thankfully confirmed that the passes aren’t coming back....
