More room for character customization, too With the latest patch forMass Effect: Andromeda, BioWare isfleshing outthe character creator (couldn’t help myself) and opening up a path for Scott Ryder to romantically pursue the squadmate Jaal. For the character editor, there will be two new head types (one male, one female), a complexion option, more skin tones, fully unlocked hairstyles, and good ol’ baldness. Existing players won’t miss out, either, as it’ll be possible to alter Ryder’s appearance right on the Tempest....

I think we all remember Eddie Lebron’sMega Manfan movie, which was as damn close to an actualMega Manlive-action film that the world is ever going to see. He is now at it again on a second indie film project and this time he’s going to tackle Sonic. While he let the movie drop previouslyScrewAttackhas the official announcement where you’re able to hear Lebron talk about what he’s planning to do with the movie....

Downwell too If there is one trend I absolutely love with this generation of game, it’s the rise of small production publishers that are giving indie games a shot at retail release. Limited Run Games is probably the biggest name in this space, there are other companies doing God’s work here. Fangamer produced physical copies ofUndertale,Dead Cellsreached retailers because of merge, andOwlboyis sitting idly on my shelf between my copy ofde BlobandYoku’s Island Expressthanks to SOEDESCO....

Amazon Gamesannounced todaythat the NCSOFT-developed MMORPGThrone and Libertyfinally has a global release date and it is June 28, 2025. Originally titled Project TL,Throne and Libertyis seen by many as somewhat of a spiritual successor to NCSOFT’s popularLineageMMORPG series. The MMO has already been released in South Korea, but has been receiving some updates and changes before Amazon Games brought it to the global audience. Throne of Libertyfeatures a dynamic PvP system that focuses on conquest battles and castle sieges....

I listedPokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambitionas one of mymost anticipated games of 2012. It would be bad form on my part if I didn’t start digging up as much info as I could and sharing all that knowledge with you. In last week’sJumpmagazine in Japan, some basic gameplay details were discussed. You start out by selecting a male or female protagonist, not unlike previousPokémontitles, but your starter will always be Eevee. Your character is a general who goes out into the wild to recruit new Pokémon to serve as your troops....

Get your traffic cones ready Those of you ready to crack heads in Kamurocho (well, those of you who aren’t currently doing it inJudgment), should mark down July 10 in your calendars, as Sega and Team Yakuza has announced that they have new information to reveal on that date. Speaking with Gamebase.com.tw, series producer Daisuke Sato said that more information on the next game in theYakuzaseries will be coming next month....

This is the future I have seen the future, and I’m here to tell you that it’s a bit different from what you’re probably expecting. Actually, I’ve seen two different futures. One is Infinity Ward’s version of our country’s future, in which America is crippled and our government in disarray. We’re now the underdogs, fighting a war against superior forces. This is the setting for their latest,Call of Duty: Ghosts....

Happy 2Birthday Sci-Fi, anime, steampunk, hack ‘n’ slash, RPG brawler sequel,NieR: Automatahit Western shores one year ago this week. To celebrate the first anniversary of the game’s localisation, Platinum Games have released a (somewhat unnerving) video featuring the game’s creator Yoko Taro. Donning an Emil mask — unless it’s his actual head — Taro thanks the fans for the support of the game, which was big hit on PS4, and later PC, in 2017....

It’ll also sport a faster processor and better resolution The Oculus Quest is a rad piece of tech. Facebook was very smart to anchor their entire future to it, as the tetherless system that does not require any other hardware is one of the most accessible ways to enter the VR space to date. A follow-up to the Quest has been expected for some time, and now it’s been fully revealed: a little sooner than expected....

Oddysee : New ‘n’ Tasty :: Exoddus : Soulstorm Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tastydid great justice toAbe’s Oddysee. It took the already fantastic puzzle-platformer and made it friggin’ gorgeous, up to today’s resolution standards. It only made sense to do the same with the next game in Abe’s story,Exoddus. As early as last April, we heard the team wasdoing just that. Now the project has an official name:Oddworld: Soulstorm. “Soulstorm” refers to the brew made from bones and Mudokon tears....

There are a lot of Passive Skills inPalworld, giving Pals either a buff or making them slightly less effective in certain roles. With the Sakurajima update, we’re getting five new Passive Skills, and all of them are beneficial in one way or another. Whether you’re looking for a boost in Gold, or wanting to mount up and run for longer, these new traits offer benefits across the board. If you capture Pals with these traits, it’s definitely worth hanging on to them....

Heaven is a Half Pipe For months now, third-parties have been coming forward on podcasts and social media to reference their involvement in a new entry in the legendaryTony Hawk’s Pro Skaterseries, despite ongoing silence regarding the game’s existence in any official capacity. This past weekend, it was the turn of skateboarder Jason Dill to reference the mystery title, doing so on the latest episode of podcastThe Nine Club.Speaking with host Chris Roberts, Dill mentioned that his music and his boards would both be featured in the game, joining previous spoilers dropped byLizzie Armanto,Sabi, and punk bandThe Death Set....
