It was only a matter of time At this point, I would wager to say that Wordle’s clones are just as well-known as the game itself. Just about every variation you can think of exists, from guessing swear words to songs to geography — it’s all there, but probably not for long. The New York Times’ acquisition of Wordle rocked the internet back at the end of January, and fans of the game have been apprehensive at best since then, after bemoaning supposed changes that the New York Times made to the game thathave yet to be confirmed....

[It’s time for anotherMonthly Musing— the monthly community blog theme that provides readers with a chance to get their articles and discussions printed on the frontpage. — CTZ] I found myself on a rail car nearly deserted except for two downcast strangers. I had no idea where I’d been, how I’d gotten there or at the moment where I was going, but somehow knew this was all supposed to make sense to me....

It’s ‘getting close’, though A playableYooka-Layleedemo will be available to some backers of its Kickstarter campaign. The spoiler-free demo offers a glimpse of the game’s sandbox, platform design to those who have donated at least £20 towards the£2m it raised via Kickstarter last year. “As promised in our Kickstarter campaign, the Toybox isn’t a traditional ‘demo’, but a self-contained, spoiler-free sandbox designed to giveYooka-Layleebackers a taste of the platforming to come in the final game,” says the latest update onplaytonicgames....

Gotta fap to ’em all Pokemon Go, absent other big releases and cashing in on the ennui-staving nostalgia of the 25-to-35-year-old demographic, has blown up to be this month’sOverwatch, albeit with 20 years of brand recognition behind it. Naturally more people are looking forPokemonporn, too. It’s not the rapid817% risethatOverwatchsaw around beta time. But “Pornhub,” which I am told is one of many webpages that offer a portal to adult video entertainment, isreportingthat “Pokemon” searches on the webpage are up 136% sincePokemon Go‘s July 6 release....

Just. take. a. look. at. this. Constantin Films has released a basic teaser poster for its upcoming big-screen adaptation of Capcom’s horror franchise,Resident Evil. The new poster first appeared on Twittercourtesy of actor Chad Rook, who will star in the movie reboot as S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team member Richard Aiken. While the poster leaves much to the imagination, one can’t help but immediately notice the influence ofResident Evil 4‘s creepy artwork, putting the red in “redwoods....

It should not have been made As I described in my review forRodea: The Sky Soldier‘s Wii U version, the game’s tumultuous development process bleeds through the finished product despite its charms. But after booting it up on 3DS, the situation was even more dire. I can put up with dated visuals — I still play plenty of retro games to this day — but this is something else. Immediately, the framerate slowed to a crawl, in an almost unplayable manner....

Soulslike society of immortals still in progress In a Twitter post yesterday Tomasz Wacławek, the lead designer of the indie stealth gameRONIN, announced that his studio teedoubleu were taking applications for beta testers for their new gameImmortal Planet.

I’m jealous of Jim Sterling for many reasons. He’s funnier, better looking, and more British than I am (at least, most of the time.) He also is usually first to claim all of theSonic Colorsnews. Luckily for me, I managed to snag this story before he saw it. Eat it my dust, Sterling. I’m pretty psyched forSonic Colors. Adding stuff that the Sonic series has long needed (like power-ups) while sticking to what Sonic does best (2D speed-scapes) is a smart move on Sega’s part....

Aprendiendo el ingles con Colina Silenciosa [How many of us are willing to go out of our way to learn a new language just to enjoy our favorite hobby? For many outside of primarily English-speaking countries, it can be less of an option and more of a necessity if you want to enjoy the fruits of things originating in or translated to English. Rad Party God tells his tale of how video games – especiallySilent Hill– helped him to learn a new language, a skill he employs daily right here on Dtoid!...

I’m going to need much more convincing Following the reveal trailer,IGNhas shared 12 minutes of pre-alpha footage fromDarksiders III. This is one of those times when the powers that be probably should have waited longer before starting up the marketing cycle. The game isn’t due out until next year, and this early look is exactly that:early. The footage gives us an idea of what they’re going for with Fury’s whip-centric combat style, but so much of what I’m seeing here can be summed up as “needs polish,” from the way attacks land to enemy behaviors to the HUD....
