I thought it was fine The discourse aroundMetroid Dreaddifficulty happened fairly quickly into the game’s release, and there’s a wide range of feelings about it. While I had an inkling it might be an issue playing through it, for the most part I felt like it fit the design ethos, and the world they were trying to create within the confines ofDread. So when the game’s producer says this was the case all along, it makes a lot of sense....

I haven’t gotten around to playingSkylandersyet, but I dig the concept. You collect little figurines then zap them into the game? Brilliant! And when you aren’t playing the game, you can play around with the figures by themselves? Wonderful! It’s a shame the toys aren’t poseable, though… DAH DAH DAH DAAAAAAAH! Here comes the enterprising toy modder to the rescue! Jin Saotome, whose mods we’veshowcasedin the past, has snatched up a fewSkylandersfigures and set about adding points of articulation to them....

Croteam is doing a sequel The Talos Principleis one of those games I was just too foolishly stubborn to play at first. It’s a clever first-person puzzler about consciousness and other heavy concepts, and that was an experience I found easy to put off. But I did try it eventually, and like many of you, I loved it.Now I feel obligated to do what little I can to help spread awareness so more folks think about giving it a chance....

Inon Zur’s epicDragon Age: Originsscore is going to be performed live by a full orchestra next month, but you’ll have to be in Sweden to hear it. The Malmö Symphony Orchestra will perform pieces of the score at the Joystick 3.0 concert in Sweden on May 21. The concert’s producer, Orvar Safstron, thinks they’ll fit in perfectly with the rest of music being performed. “Inon Zur’s compositions transcend the genre, by not only enhancing the game’s scenes but also by contributing unique and powerful elements to the overall atmosphere and storyline,” he says....

I’ve always valued the rich variety of activities available inWorld of Warcraft, from raiding and PvP to Mythic+. However, my feelings about Mythic+, particularly inThe War Within, are somewhat mixed these days. On the one hand, it offers an exciting way to stay engaged with the game, presenting numerous opportunities for progression. On the other hand, it brings along some significant pitfalls and challenges that are getting harder to overlook. Mythic+ often feels like a double-edged sword: while it provides endless chances for improvement, the accompanying issues make me question whether the rewards are truly worth the effort....

The two-in-one PSP Dual Packs were announced earlier this year, and now Sony has put out a few more bundles in the line:MotorStorm: Arctic EdgeandTwisted Metal: Head-on;PataponandLocoRoco; andHot Shots Golf: Open TeeandHot Shots Tennis.

These three Dual Packs will all hit stores and the PlayStation Network this January, with prices set at $14....

Ah the Square Enix timetable Nintendo dropped some big bombs around E3 this year. They may have been dropped by a stealth bomber, who swooped in and out before we could even ask “details?” but they were bombs nonetheless. In addition to the mere mention thatMetroid Prime 4exists, we also got word that a newPokemonRPG was in the works for the Switch, making it one of the few console releases ever for the series....
