I just checked, and yes, this game is still money Your eyes do not deceive! Tony Ponce is writing aboutMega Manon the front page! I want to talk today aboutMega Man Unlimited, the fan game Ireviewednearly two years ago that made me cry manly tears. You remember that tasty jam, right? I still think about it often.

Also new gameplay features We had a chance to take a peek at the PS4 version ofMLB 14 The Showthis past week at a preview event, and it was clear from the get go that the game benefits greatly from the power that the PS4 provides. Now, it’s not like the PS3 version isn’t a great looking game, but a quick side-by-side comparison showed that the PS4 version will betheone to get for MLB fans....

Above you’ll find a newly released video for the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive third-person shooterStarhawk, which is taken directly from the single player, a mode lacking from 2007’sWarhawk. LightBox Interactive hired Powerhouse Animation to do the awesome cut scenes that will tell the story through an “animated ‘wanted’ poster style, punctuated with Rift Energy,” which segues very nicely into the playable sections of the game. Starhawkis scheduled for a 2012 release, so there is a batch of concept art and screens included in the gallery below to help tide you over....

Speaking to investors, Nintendo boss Shuntaro Furukawa gives everyone the good news first.

But Hello Games is stopping short of that term At launch,No Man’s Skywas a very lonely game. This functionally-infinite universe was so big that no one ever saw another player. Everyone was just an insignificant speck trying to barter with stubborn aliens. As Hello Games fixedNo Man’s Sky, it got less lonely. Last summer’s“Next” updateimplemented synchronous cooperative play. It went a long ways toward makingNo Man’s Skya better game. (It helps that there were a million other changes too....

I’ve got acomplicated relationship withProject Zomboid, mainly because it takes such a ridiculously long time for new versions to be released. These new versions, though, are often the size of a veritable sequel, and Build 42, in particular, is massive. Now, at long last, B42 is in closed beta. It’s hard to believe, butProject Zomboidmade its way into Steam Early Accessback in 2013, and it’s been slow going from that point onwards....

Console exclusivity, too Cellar Door Games’ much-loved roguelikeRogue Legacyis coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita next year. The game released earlier this year on PC, but Sony is getting the console exclusivity. People keep pitching the game to me in a variety of ways, like saying it’s the best ofCastlevania. I’ve been down for a while, maybe this is my in. I don’t know about you, but I think the Vita is the absolute perfect platform for such a game....

While it currently looks like SNK are goingthe Konami routeand making Pachinko machines, at least they reminded us they haven’t forgotten their roots....

It supports up to 10 players Modder CraftyBoss managed to do something that probably should have been done a long time ago: aSuper Mario Odysseymultiplayer mod. Housed on their Discord server, the mod (which requires a modded Switch) allows up to 10 people to playMario Odysseytogether, with different costumes to differentiate everyone: that actually sync while playing. The mod itself is a work in progress, as is the custom game mode concept, but for now, the basics seem to be working....

I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted this:Sonic the Hedgehogis up on iTunes, and no, I’m not talking about music from the retro platformer. That’s right,Sonicis now a playable iPod game (5th gen iPod, 3rd gen nano, and classic only) that can be downloaded for $4.99, should you be inclined to make such a purchase. As if we even needed another port ofSonic the Hedgehogin the first place, this version offers two control schemes (one-handed and two-handed), an unlimited number of continues, and the ability to save on any stage....

When the PSPgo was released as an all-digital system, there was a question over whether or not older PSP owners would be able to get digital versions of their old UMD games, should they buy the new system. Sony answered that question by offering f*ck all, but it may change tact with thePS Vita. Sony Computer Entertainment development head Yoshio Matsumoto has dropped the hints, alluding to older PSP games being available to download at a “special” price, for those who want to play their existing library on the new, UMD-less Vita....
