Games about pizza, kittens, and DINOSAURS Mojam, the five-day indie game-creating jam spearheaded by Mojang, has ended.Nine titles from six developerswere created in this short time, making me seriously consider how I spend most of my time. Hopefully you found some time to tune into the livestreams and see the creation process for some of these absurd games, because it’s super interesting. Perhaps the best news of all is that if you were unfortunate enough to miss the event and were unable to donate, the Humble Store isstill openand accepting donations!...

Nintendo is going to launch a Kyoto storefront (at Kyoto Takashimaya SC) to expand its current lineup in Tokyo and Osaka on October 17 of this year, and they’re in the “full hype mode” stage of marketing at the moment. This round comesin the form of photos from the publisher’s official Nintendo Tokyo Twitter account, and the store really sells itself at this point. [Nintendo KYOTO]マリオも皆様のご来店をお待ちしております。#NintendoKYOTOのグランドオープンは10月17日（火）です。#スーパーマリオhttps://t.co/2wsNltS8iipic.twitter.com/VvrPMLCvkO In addition to Mario-laden structures like a giant pipe (complete with Mario’s head coming out of it) and a classic “Mario stage” motif, there are decals forZelda, Animal Crossing,Pikmin(which I almost missed!...

Help me Jimi, you’re my only hope In a world where everyone is Jimi Hendrix, from the preacher giving a sermon in church to the baby in a stroller, the mother of that baby to the dead body in the alley, only Jimi Hendrix can save Jimi Hendrix from Jimi Hendrix. Did I write Jimi Hendrix enough times? The name is starting to do that weird thing where it stops looking like it’s a word....

For a grand total of six payloads defended Blizzard Entertainment’sOverwatch 2engaged over 35 million players in its first month of release, it has been revealed via Activision Blizzard’smost recent financial report. The team-based shooter sequel, which went free-to-play upon launch, hit PC and console platforms on October 4. The number is more than double that of the title’s predecessor, which pulled in some 15 million players during its first month of release back in 2016....

We’ve got the tools, we’ve got the talent A group of plucky modders have taken to expanding the 1990 Genesis/Mega Drive version ofGhostbustersto correct a longstanding problem with the game: Winston Zeddemore wasn’t in it. TheGhostbusters: Special Editionhack adds the fourth ‘buster. Beyond that, it also implements a slate of other improvements. Developed in1990 by Compile,Ghostbusterson Genesis/Mega Drive is a pretty unique title. It was released afterGhostbusters 2, but it is neither based on that title nor does it pull fromThe Real Ghostbusterscartoon series....

The medium of interactive entertainment is full of good ideas that, for some reason or another, never realized their full potential. Either the required budget just wasn’t there, pressure from publishers restricted development, or the studio itself was simply incapable of making a good game. Quite where the reasons forRaven Squad‘s failure lie is not something I am going to speculate upon. I have my share of theories, though. Raven Squadis a good idea....

Cheaper, lighter, and more comfortable Today at the Oculus Connect 2 conference in Los Angeles, Samsung Mobile Senior Vice President of Technology Strategy Peter Koo unveiled the company’s next generation of Gear VR headsets. Koo stated the device will be compatible with Samsung’s entire 2015 lineup of smartphones, which include the Samsung Note 5, Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Edge +.

I’m a cereal killer Having put the world to rights on the correct way to hang toilet roll, Nintendo’sSplatoon 2returns to Europe this weekend to once again sort out the questions that matter. This week: Do you like a warm breakfast, or a cold breakfast? I guess by “Warm” or “Cold” they are referring to cooked breakfasts, such as bacon and eggs or similar vs. a bowl of Cheerios or some other cereal....

Today’s update has a new UI Square Enix put the classic Super Nintendo RPGChrono Triggeron Steam back in February, and it was such a pleasant surprise — until we got a closer look at the port. In short, it just seemedoff. The PC version used a mishmash of graphical filters that made the character sprites and background art look like a blurry mess, and the user interface wasn’t well-suited to the platform....

With the 1.6 update recently rolling out for the PC version ofStardew Valley, many of you will have been basking in all that delicious new content. Actually, I’m surprised anyone is reading this instead of leisurely skipping throughFerngill Republic. If you are here (first of all, thanks), then you’re probably wondering about the mod situation. When the new patch was sent out, there may have been some concerns that any mods you had installed for the game would be immediately rendered non-compatible....

We all have our vices I still firmly believe that one of the greatest upsides of being a PC gamer are the twice annual fire-sales hosted by Steam. Those sales, alongside the multitude of other deals and bargains that can be scooped up from Humble Bundle, GoG, and other online retailers at any time during the year are what makes PC gaming so attractive to me. Sure, the upfront cost of outfitting a PC with a beefy videocard and the ridiculously large quantities of RAM needed to hang in the overspec’ed world of PC games can be ghastly....

We’ve heard it before — developers and publishers whining about how they don’t make a cent off of used game sales. Valid complaint, to be sure, since retailers like GameStop are making cash hand-over-fist by with its used games racket. Well, online videogame trading Web siteSwitchGames.comis looking to change all of that. While the site currently allows users to swap games between one another, plans are in the works for an upcoming buy/sell feature....

Consider me SHOCKED When I playedTERAat launch, it felt like it was designed for a free-to-play audience. There were so many “kill X of Y” quests that it made me a bit nauseous. Now that it will befree-to-play starting in February, the grindy nature of the quests fits right in! Don’t be swayed, though — the combat is excellent and once you get around level 23, you start fighting BAMs, or Big Ass Monsters (yes, that’s what the game calls them), and it starts to get way better....
