Mafia: The Old Countrybrings out the tales of the old with the newest horse-riding features and classic shoot-em-up adventures. The gameplay trailer alone gave me majorRed Dead Redemption 2vibes, with dusty trails, tense standoffs, and that gritty cinematic charm. And honestly, I’m loving this new approach. While pastMafiagames were set in the modern era (loosely speaking, since they were set post-1930s),Old Countryrewinds the clock to the early 1900s, right in the heart of Sicily....

Mega Man 11 proves Capcom still has a knack for the series

Block Man? More like this rocks, man! Unlike most of the other games I’ll play at E3, a single level ofMega Man 11is actually enough to give a comprehensive look at the quality of the final product. There are two available for my session — Block Man and Fuse Man — and I will only have time to complete one before I move on to bigger and bloodier things. As my Capcom handler breaks down the controls for me, I have some apprehension about the changes made to the series....

Miniature documentary on fighting game taunts leads with teabagging

The efficacy of taunting Core-A Gaming recently put up an cool little mini-doc on YouTube that deals with the philosophy of taunting in fighting games. It goes over some examples in the community, the reasoning behind why it works, and shifts into a great breakdown of how to condition your opponent.

NIS-America’s Viral Survival has great logo, trailer

Isn’t that a cool logo? I like all that squiggly stuff behind the text, and there are some eyeballs behind there that kinda remind me ofPatapon, which also has a nice logo. Anyway,Viral Survival‘s coming to WiiWare, and is touted as an “escape action game” where the main goal is survival. Hence, the term “survival” in the title. Players control a DNA unit dodging enemy viral attacks. In this case though, I’m reasonably certain that “viral” does not refer to current marketing strategies forDante’s InfernoorBioshock 2....
