Watch Super Mario World memorialized with over 80,000 dominoes There’s something that’s just satisfying about watching a carefully laid out matrix of dominoes falling down exactly as they’re meant to.

During the promotion’s run, bunker-made materials will bag players double the amount of GTA dollars and RP through Sell Missions. Not only that, but the shifty merchandise will also be produced in half the amount of time.

One to watch for 2019 Stardew Valleypublisher Chucklefishsure can pick ’em. The company’s latest selection isInmost, a story-driven puzzle-platformer from Hidden Layer Games that looks astounding in motion. I’m getting a niceAnother Worldvibe from the way gameplay and cinematic sequences intersect. As you might’ve noticed in the footage,Inmosthas a trio of protagonists. You’ll need to keep all of them safe from shadowy beasts. “The narrative is intricate and set across two worlds, weaving together a tale of suffering, sacrifice and a family stuck in the middle of it all,” according to Chucklefish....

InDragon’s Dogma 2, there’s an elf in Vernworth named Glyndwr who probably gives you the wrong impression. He speaks English, whereas his kin do not. However, there is a way to communicate with them using the Woodland Wordsmith specialization. Your character doesn’t really need to know how to speak the language, it’s actually your Pawns that need to learn Elvish. You need a pawn with a specific specialization in your party, at which point the text, menus, and subtitles for the elves will change to English (or whatever language you’re playing the game in....

Flappy Birdcreator Dong Nguyen spoke with CNBCwhere he revealedFlappy Birdwill be coming back this August. The new version will add multiplayer, and will be less addictive than the original. Nguyen also said the original game has been downloaded more than 50 million times, a fact that almost made me burst out into tears just now. Inanother interview, Nguyen described the multiplayer will be asynchronous, and he’s going to make the game less addicting by including a cool down timer after a user has played a certain amount of rounds in a row....

The grim future sure is looking bright When it comes to first-perosn shooters, theKillzoneseries is my jam. And that doesn’t look to be changing anytime soon. Sony unveiled a pair of impressive new trailers for Guerrilla Games’ latest efforts at their E3 media briefing tonight and they both look absolutely stunning. But don’t just take my word for it, check them out for yourself. Oh, by the way,Killzone: Shadow Fallis a PlayStation 4 launch title!...

Zombie and zombie and zombies! Remember Taito’s “Project Z” and how it was revealed to simply be anarcade version ofLeft 4 Dead? There’s finally a gameplay trailer to accompany the big announcement. It’s full of zombies, broken English, and Japanese text I can’t read, but one thing’s for sure: it’s unmistakablyLeft 4 Dead. Yep. As far as how it’ll actually play as an arcade version, I’ve yet to uncover. It looks like it’s at least still set in first-person, with probable light guns to take care of the looming threat of the infected....

I know that’s not typically how you’d describe mass transit, at least in the US I feel likeCities: Skylineshas just the right amount of complexity. I recently went back toSim City 2000by comparison (which holds up!), and was taken aback by how much I had to divine (or remember) on my own. Not that it’s a bad thing, mind, just something modern audiences have to take into account. Skylinesinstead seeks to gradually ease you in — it even limits the amount of land you can use at first....

Get to know the team Fuseis the four-player cooperativethird-person shooter from Insomniac Games and stars four distinct playable characters. And you can get to know each one through these four new trailers focusing on each star. You get to see some of their backstory, their weapons, and a ton of gameplay in all four videos. Naya is the one in the first video and is kind of my favorite of the bunch as her gun shoots black holes....

Microsoft’s play, create and share game that “an actual 12-year-old girl” can play is finally available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. That’s right.Kodu Game Lab— one of Microsoft’s big talking points at theirCES 2009 keynote presentation— can be purchased right now for 400 Microsoft Points. We think that’s like five bucks. Kodu Game Lab is essentiallyLittleBigPlanetlight. The cutesy game allows you to create your own levels and games then share them with your friends....

Uh, thanks but no thanks A fewMighty No. 9updates to talk about today. First, all launch-window versions of the game will come with the Retro Hero DLC, which gives protagonist Beck a blocky, weirdlyMinecraft-esque appearance and, good lord, a one-hit-death difficulty setting. I’ll leave that one to Chris. Publisher Deep Silver has also shared details on the “extremely limited” collector’s edition. It’s $59.99 and includes a 6.5″ articulated Beck figure with swappable faceplates, shown below....

A feature that revitalized the game and brought its community together like never before,MK1players can unlock an exclusive stage by finding and defeating the pink ninja Floyd. But as you can expect, unlocking the fight won’t be as simple as getting a 25-win streak. So that you may add the game’s most breathtakingly impractical stage (really, just try facing Cyrax on it) to your collection, here’s how to find Floyd and unlock the Field inMortal Kombat 1....
