While it took some time to finalize —Schafer described it to me at PAXlast year like the company was in escrow — the deal seems to be done. That has opened the door for a trio of classic point-and-click adventures to make their way to Xbox....

Hellblade 2mostly focuses on twoforms of gameplay, traversal and combat. It always flips between the two, with the traversal interwoven with narrative beats. However, that doesn’t mean the game isn’t afraid to shake things up with some light puzzle-solving. One such puzzle can scratch some heads, as it’s the first major puzzle you’ll encounter. Here’s how to open the village gate inHellblade 2. How to find the symbols for the village gate in Hellblade 2 This puzzle appears during Chapter 2 ofHellblade 2, when exploring the Draugar-ravaged village of Freyslaug....

But I wouldn’t recommend finishing it. Eggman Hates Furriesis aSonicfangame developed by Oddwarg. Something like a boss rush, it’s one manic, super-fast boss encounter after another, separated by only the lightest of platforming (up until the game’s climactic finishing run sequence). The boss enemies that you fight are well-designed and challenging and there’s even some light plot sprinkled throughout the game. On the downside there are some pretty ugly animated sequences and comically poor voice-over....

There’s a lot of ways they could go here When Inti Creates speaks, I listen. They’ve proven themselves time and time again; not just with their own company, but with their work on countless Capcom classics, like theMega Man ZeroandZXseries.

Speaking to 4Gamer, company president Takuya Aizu explains that in addition toAzure Striker Gunvolt 3(which looks enticing in its own right) there are “three new titles in development....

It’s time for The Game Awards 2023. That one night a year where the industry tunes in for a somewhat bizarre blend of trailers, marketing, hype, awards, and celebrity cameos. The show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT, on channels likeYouTubeandTwitch. You can watch it in the embed below, or through one of the countless number of channels that will co-stream it elsewhere.

Get it? Climbing up the walls? Like the game?…no? Sorry. Forgive this stupid sheep. I’m just excited to know that Atlus’Catherineis coming this summer (July 26th!).I loved the Japanese version so much. Today Atlus sends along some new screenshots. Many of them are deep and judge-y, as you’d expect with a game that features a guy that’s trying to balance life with two girls. So good. So naughty. Between that and the obvious nod to French’s mustard, I’m set....

Ha, ads The video game marketing machine is out of control these days. With major publishers clamoring for attention with Taco Bell deals and movie theater trailers, it’s tough to keep a lid on things with eagle-eyed fans watching every second. The latest one to fall isDishonored 2, which had its TV spot leaked just hours before tonight’s Bethesda conference by way of Twitch. Multiple mirrors have been removed by Bethesda, who is ever vigilant of issuing takedowns, butyou can watch a web backup here....
