First hands-on at TGS Capcom are showing their upcoming next-gen game,Deep Down,to the public for the first time here at Tokyo Game Show. This game captured our imaginations following a brief tease during February’s PS4 announcement in New York with its flashy visuals and mysterious concepts. Perhaps that’s why the booth had wait times of 3 hours or more at Tokyo Game Show today. I didn’t have to wait, but if I did I would have been a bit disappointed by the TGS demo forDeep Down....

Holy Hand Grenade! War never changes butWormsdoes. This slippery, slimy artillery shooter hassomeiteration over the years; moving from 2D to 3D certainly qualifies, but this series is still rooted firmly in worms blowing each other to smithereens. This year will see a newWormsgame from Team17, and the developer promises substantial changes. In atweetannouncing the unnamed project, Team17 says “The worms are back in 2020 like you’ve never seen them before. New worms, new ways to play....

The screenshots in the gallery below exist for one purpose and one purpose alone: To give me justification for ranting about the existence of a sequel to the 2007 cinematic re-imagining,Alvin and the Chipmunks. I consider it a blessing that I’m so woefully unaware of what’s happening in the world around me that it took the release of screenshots for me to discover the awful truth. I’m sure that my parents probably felt in a similar manner when the rodents were updated to appeal to the sophisticated tastes of children in the 1980’s, but all they had to deal with were some crappy sunglasses on Alvin....

Like many people my age who were poor as children, shareware was a gaming Godsend, andDoomwas one of the best examples of inexpensive entertainment out there. I played the hell out of “Knee Deep in the Dead,” andDoom IIwas one of my first gaming addictions. Today is a day for FPS fans to get nostalgic, as id’s famous sci-fi demon blasterturns fifteen today! Shooters today owe a lot toDoom. Although not the first FPS on the market, it was definitely the most popular, succeedingWolfenstein 3Dand becoming so well known that subsequent FPSes would be known as “Doomclones” for some time....

Just log in for 80,000 coins Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfarewas one of my most-played games last year. What a fun shooter! I won’t get back into it, but I don’t see the harm in opening a few card packs. As a celebration for passing the eight-million-player mark, EA is giving out 80,000 coins on all platforms.

D3Publisherhas announcedthatEarth Defense Force 6is finally getting localized sometime in Spring 2024. It’s coming to PS5 and PC. Released in Japan in mid-2022, a lot of fans have been wondering if D3 had any intention on bringing it to the West. The series has had some popularity over here since the surprising success of 2006’sEarth Defense Force 2017. Earth Defense Force 6is a directsequel to 2017’sEarth Defense Force 5. 90% of the world’s population was wiped out in the previous invasion, and while the survivors are trying to pick up the pieces, the remaining invaders on the planet are making it difficult....

I’m still in a dream Sony hosted its 2023 PlayStation Showcase today, spotlighting what’s to come for the platform in the future. Both first and third-party games were shown off, some set for the near future, and others still a ways off. It was an interesting showcase, all things considered. The third-party developers were pretty varied and interesting; seeing labels like Finji up alongside the likes ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2is a treat, and there were a few surprises, like the next project from theGristeam....

Bill Willingham, creator of the comic seriesFables, says he’s made theFablesintellectual property (IP) part of the public domain, he saidin a press releaseposted to his website. In the release, Willingham takes shots at publisher DC Comics for being “in violation of their agreements” for years and reveals his vision of a reformed IP system that would force all IP to be submitted to the public domain after thirty years. Among his chief complaints with DC is his claim the comics giant has been trying to take theFablesIP from him through willful misinterpretation of their publishing contract....

There’s a temporary stay Housing is a huge part of any given MMO for a lot of people, but if a game doesn’t provide instanced housing (likeWildStar), it can be nigh impossible to actually get one. Final Fantasy XIVis one such game that has been in a “housing crisis” for a while, because despite three different zones and multiple “wards” (instances of neighborhoods) to choose from, the housing hunt is is competitive that any vacant lots are snatched up instantly — they’re basically all gone — and when the new Shirogane district opens up in patch 4....

Turns out the 17-month sabbatical wasn’t planned that way Back in January,we reportedthat Leslie Benzies resigned from his position as the president of Rockstar North after taking a 17-month sabbatical. As it turns out, that isn’t entirely how it happened. Benzies insists that Rockstar willfully deceived him, including withholding a massive amount of money that Benzies says he’s entitled to. Recently, Benzies filed a lawsuit against Rockstar which alleges that the developer owes him $150 million in unpaid royalties....
