Martin’sA Song of Ice and Firebook series and modern-day television hitGame of Throneshave become, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that spin-offs and other forms of media will be following close behind — including video games. A NeoGAF user spotted anew listing on the Target websitesimply titled “Bethesda: Game of Thrones....

Two-part series debut on Dec. 20 Telltale’sThe Walking Deadpicks back up with another season,A New Frontier, next week. As much as I prefer the old wait-and-see approach for episodic games, the fact that this season willdebut with two episodes— parts I and II of “Ties that Bind” — has me more open to getting in straight away. That, and this effective trailer. I am sufficiently intrigued, okay? You got me!...

Seemingly envious of thesuccess THQ have had with theiruDrawtablet peripheral, Ubisoft have unveiled their own tablet called the Drawsome. Ubisoft are hoping to have the tablet out for Christmas and it’s just the type of thing I can see parents getting their kids as a present this year. The device itself has an 6.5×5 inch screen and is powered by placing a Wii-remote into a cavity on the left hand side....

Video game cutscenes have been around for decades, bridging the gap between interactive media and cinematography, often helping to expand the story and narrative and presenting it to the player in a more transformative and meaningful way. However, cutscenes have generally gotten stale over the years, especially with the popularization of shorter, less engaging cutscenes, which do not significantly contribute to the narrative, which is nowadays relegated to more interactions and gameplay....

Great concept, less-than-great execution (because free-to-play mobile) I’m not into wrestling but, conceptually, I’m feelingWWE Immortals. It’s a fighting game fromMortal Kombatstudio NetherRealm and Phosphor Games that imagines real-world wrestlers in a fantastical alternate universe. ThinkInjustice: Gods Among Us, but with WWE personalities. That all sounds cool until reality hits:WWE Immortalsis a free-to-play game foriPhone,iPad, andAndroid, because of course it is. It’ll make Warner Bros. a lot of money, I’m sure of it, but think what this might have been as a bigger-budget, fully-realized console game....

‘We’re about providing options for developers’ Microsoft announced last week at GDC in San Francisco that it was introducingcross-playbetween Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. That opens a world of possibility in ways for developers to deliver games to their audience. Some will likely take full advantage; others will be more reserved. But, the option’s there, nevertheless. Following Xbox boss Phil Spencer’s talk, I sat down with ID@Xbox program director Chris Charla to discuss what this new ecosystem meant for independent developers....

Xbox One ‘could potentially be an option’ Nintendo Switch andYakuzaseem like two great tastes that’d taste great together, but the match will remain little more than a pipe dream for the foreseeable future. In an interview withGameblog.fr,Yakuzaseries producer Daisuke Sato opened up about the possibility of Kiryu and co. on Switch. “To be realistic about what happened,Yakuza 1&2 HDfor Wii U was a huge failure,” said Sato, as translated byGematsu. “But we are always looking to develop for multiple platforms as much as possible and know that brings in a greater audience to attract more people....

Haunting Adelinewas published in 2021, and has gone on to be something of a cult classic among readers who crave the incredibly dark, twisted romance that unfurls within the pages. With non-con, abuse, and spicy romps aplenty, fans of the genre are always thirsty for more. I have to admit that Haunting Adeline and its ilk are not my favorite sub-genre of romance. I prefer something more pure, and while angst is great, I believe there is such a thing as too much....
