One of the best movies of the decade and the biggest projection screw-up of The 300 Why howdy, partner, and welcome back toThe 300, a rootin’ tootin’ feature on my wild attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide world of cinema in all its forms. With so much variety, I hope there’s something here for you to enjoy....
In SEGA’s new squad based shooter,Binary Domain, your team mates are not mere slaves to your whims. Players will have to gain the trust of their squad and act in ways that appeal to their varied personalities to get the most out of them. The AI and gameplay elements will also change depending on how you approach certain situations. The game’s latest trailer details this potentially interesting mechanic. What we know of the game’s plot and setting hasn’t really grabbed me....
As you start leveling up inThrone and Liberty, understanding stats and what they do becomes extremely important. Unlike some MMOs,Throne and Liberty’sstats are not too many, which actually makes it easier for you to understand them. You’ll want to level up the stats, which matter more for your build. While this is pretty obvious, always remember that the best stats for you will depend on what style of build you’re running inside the game....

Put away the Tinactin Mushroom 11caught our eyes about a month ago, with its unique puzzle gameplay hook: the globular green collection of fungal cells is not directly controlled by the player. Instead, players simply click or tap to “erase” cells, while the mushroom has the curious capability to regrow a new cell for every destroyed cell. It is one of those ideas that seems so elegant that it is surprising nobody had ever thought of it before....
Omnath and Lotus Cobra were not touched Last week Wizards of the Coast said that they were “monitoring” standard play forMagic: The Gathering Arena, and would report back with any potential bans to smooth out the meta. Well, they did:Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrathis now banned from standard (best-of-one and best-of-three) and singleton play. Uro was released with the Theros set in January of this year and caused all sorts of problems due to its power level....
Over a quarter of a million raised Hearing Video Games Live’s take onSuper Mario Worldgot me all excited for its new album, which has thankfully been successfully funded on Kickstarter as of this week. (Here’s hoping for approval from Nintendo.) Just over $285,000 was raised forLevel 3on the platform and, if you missed your chance, Tommy Tallarico and co. areselling the digital tiersfor a limited time off-site. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a bit emotional yesterday when we finally achieved our goal,”Tallarico wrote....
City design by Ben Wyatt So, this is silly. A suburb in Ottawa was designed with a little inspiration from Azeroth, borrowing a bunch of street names from cities and locations fromWorld of Warcraft. If you’ve ever had a burning desire to live on Silvermoon Crescent, now is your chance. There are also streets named after Raven’s Wood, for you druid types, Stormwind for filthy Alliance members, plus Winterspring and Ashenvale....
Will Wright, videogame mastermind and creator of hits likeThe Sims, SporeandSim City, was asked to curate YouTube. You’ll see on his video post on YouTube that he did a pretty good job. The end result wasa good playlist of some pretty random sh*t, though it’s missing some Epic Beards, busty J-idols and Corgi puppy videos. I guess a brilliant game creator’s mind works a bit differently than mine does. Will, did you seriously only have eleven videos to present?...
Big update coming this week At Tokyo Game Show 2017, I finally got a chance to meet and talk with one of my favorite game developers, Hidetaka Suehiro aka “Swery.” He directed the masterpiecesDeadly PremonitionandD4: Dark Dreams Don’t Diewhile at Access Games, but after a leave to become a Buddhist monk he has started a new company called White Owls. Their first title isThe Good Life, a game that hovers between RPG, life simulation, puzzle, and adventure genres....
East meets West From out of nowhere, DotEmu has announced thatYs Originwill be coming to the Xbox One this spring. This marks the first time the series has landed on any Xbox platform and it comes in the wake of a refocus from DotEmu on publishing more retro franchises. SinceYs Originwas a pretty big hit on PC, PS4 and Vita, it only made sense to bring the game to Xbox One....
BioWare’s bi-polarDragon Age: OriginsDLC “Return to Ostagar” — it wentboth up and downsince initial postponement — will be released next week. At least, so says the good Dr. Ray Muzyka in a recent interview withPZGzine. “We have a big investment planned forDragon Agewith more DLC coming in the next week or so,” he said before talking about the DLC’s well documented and troubled past. Here’s the thing: will you pick up sword and shield (and virtual wallet) next week, or will you be too busyhoisting assault rifles and casting barrier?...
It’s definitely been a while since I stepped into the world of.hack.It’s pretty weird to think that almost ten years have passed since the series debuted on the PS2.It presented a lot of unique ideas and new mechanics to the JRPG genre, and I loved the idea of playing a game within a game. Since posting up ateaser sitelast month, developer CyberConnect2 has been pretty quiet about the details of the entry known only as....
