Yosp vs. the Defiled Watchdog SCE Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida is just the best. Unlike many executives around the industry (who may as well be selling soap), you’re able to really tell gaming is close to Yoshida’s heart. Case in point: Yoshida is a massive fan ofBloodborne, apparently pouring so much time and effort into the game that he’s earned the title’s Platinum Trophy. Not content to rest on his laurels, Yoshida recently joined the PlayStation Blog crew to discuss his love of the game, the project’s history, and even showcase his combat skills....

Watch Saturday Morning Hangover every weekend on Dtoid TV! We had a delightful littleSaturday Morning Hangoverthis morning, playing the recently releasedPhantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. Jordan, Katrina and I all piled on in this one and found it to be an enjoyable beat-em-up, if a bit demanding and technical. Also, Katrina is deceptively good at fighting games, something I would do well to remember in the future. The week’s Xbox Live Indie demos were also played, though there wasn’t really anything too exciting, other than a match-3 game,Candies vs....

A newTaiko Drum Mastergame is now available on a mobile device nowhere near you (if you live in Japan, anyway) withTaiko Drum Master: RPG Daton, an adorable quest featuring the cute little Taiko characters, pachinko balls, and RPG elements. And I’m still stuck with the Western localization ofTaiko Drum Masteron PlayStation 2. I guess that’s all I’ll ever get. Slot machines, Taiko drums, and colorful characters abound....

After being wishy-washy on it for a year Blizzard is certainly giddy about the Switch all of a sudden. While they’ve mostly ignored it or downplayed whether or not certain games would work on it (I think a port of a game from 2012 andHearthstone, a touch-based card project, would have been great out of the gate), now that they have the backing of Nintendo and Iron Galaxy, the whole situation has changed....

A festival of flesh and brutality awaits Dead Rising 3is certainly looking quite promising, having all but escaped the crucible of Capcom Vancouver’s apparent desire tochase theCall of Dutyaudience. Following a shaky showing at E3 earlier this year where the title was vaunted as a more serious, realistic, andvisceralexperience; it’s pretty much been smooth sailing for thesilly Xbox One launch game. Now with the upcoming title just weeks away from release, the publisher has dropped a story trailer to whet appetites while the zombie game slowly lumbers toward our doorsteps and store shelves....

It lasts until May 31 Mega Manstarted out on a Nintendo platform, so it only feels natural that Capcom bring as many games as possible to the Switch. Although things were very slow going at first (bring everyMega Manon NES and SNES to the Switch Online suite, Capcom), at this point the publisher has built up a decent stable of games, capped off bythe semi-recent release of theMega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection....

You now have the power to choose whether cheaters will get immediately banned, or turned into frogs for the remainder of the match,thenbanned....

Sometimes a game needs to be simplistic in order to be good. If you overcomplicate things with so many mechanics, the game gets bogged down, and you forget about having fun. At the same time, there needs to be a precise and refined quality to those mechanics in order to make the game enjoyable and attention-getting. So withPixelJunk Eden, we have another title based on a simple premise. Does the game provide the same level of fun asPixelJunk Monsters?...

Or, y’know, Creature from the Black Lagoon There are certainOverwatchcharacters I just can’t stand losing to, and Doomfist ranks up there pretty high. If I’m not outright obliterated by his rocket punch, the follow-up juggling combo will usually do the trick. As a former Zenyatta main, I have died countless frustrating deaths to Doomfist. All that said, sometimes, alternate skins can ease the pain. That is absolutely the case with Doomfist’s fishy new look coming toOverwatchon October 9 as part of the limited-timeHalloween Terror event....
