After the abortion that wasDance Duo, I’m proud to report that we have a Free App of the Day that’s actually quite fun on this bleak Tuesday morn. It’s calledMr. Space!!and it involves moving a little stickman into the spaces between two closing platforms. You remember those dungeons in the old Mario games that would clamp down on you? It’s like that. It has a great visual style and it’s surprisingly easy to make silly mistakes....

It’s the gameSilent Hillfans love to hate, and Konami has nine new screenshots for them.Silent Hill: Book of Memoriesis still my most anticipated PS Vita game of the moment, and I’ll be maintaining every hope that the full game turns out well. When I first saw the game, I was definitely skeptical (especially as the first ever screens looked dire) but it’s seeming better the more it’s shown. In any case, here are some new screens for the harsh scrutiny of those who decided long ago to despise it....

It’s redding season, baby! Hellboy, sequel to 2008’sHellboy: The Golden Army, stars Ron Perlman and is directed by Guillermo del Toro. Scratch that. Reverse it.Hellboywassupposed to be a direct sequel to 2008’sThe Golden Army, only Mr. del Toro, for some wild reason, wanted to use his own script (not onepenned by this nobody Andrew Cosby), so he bounced. And because Hollywood is the land of ride-or-die homies who always have each other’s back and never sell out for money, star Perlman bounced with him when del Toro didn’t get his way....

Helldivers 2is one of 2024’s most popular games, but like many titles, it’s been affected by bugs since its release. With some fans complaining about the lack of fixes, an Arrowhead community manager has explained what’s causing the delays. In a message in the officialHelldivers 2Discord server followingApril 16’s patch 01.000.203, Spitz explained that most of the bugs in the known issues list are “actively being worked on, but they’re either large fixes that require a bit of time or low-priority issues behind other things, and most should be patched in the next major build....

The new title will not only include all real-life schools, but CampusIQ will also introduce new functionality, adding depth and dynamic details to your team....

There are a lot of glamour items inFinal Fantasy XIV. Some of them are sleek, some of them are dark, and others are just plain hilarious. A new glamour of the last variety was added withDawntrail, the Mica Suit, but it’s not exactly easy to get. To begin with, you’ll need at least one class at level 100 – this isn’t too hard, you may pretty easily level all the way through the MSQ alone....

The Realm Challenges inInfinity Nikkican be accessed from any Warp Spire, and there are five different types. Four of them unlock pretty early, while the fifth Realm of Breakthrough doesn’t unlock until a later chapter....

Hey, this is actually useful Valve has added a Recently Updated page to Steam, displaying “new and interesting updates, features, and/or content additions” to games.Take a look for yourself. The intent here is to give developers another platform from which to communicate with their audiences. It’s got the added benefit of showing would-be players which games are seeing continued, worthwhile support. Scrolling through this section reminded me that I forgot to buyDesktop Dungeons, so there you go....

Are indies screwed without Steam? Flippfly’sRace the Sunis a humble indie game that actually looks (and plays) pretty great. It just has one major problem — it’s not on Steam. Developer Aaron San Filippohas been surprisingly transparentabout what it means to be an indie developer and not launch on Steam, stating that not launching on a major distribution platform is “asking for trouble.” Aaron goes through stats like website hits (currently the only place to buy the game), reviews, media coverage, and even sales....

EA has announced that they’re releasing a slew of their older games onto Steam. All of them were available elsewhere, but finally, they’re available on the PC’s biggest digital storefront. A lot of these are from Bullfrog, one of the many studios that EA shuttered, but there’s also theCommand & Conquer – The Ultimate Collection, which features some games from Westwood, another studio that EA shuttered. Here’s the list: That’s a coincidence!...

Podtoid 338: Make Great America Again Last week I got some hands-on experience withMass Effect: New Earth: A 4D Holographic Journeyand that’s a big topic of discussion on this week’s Podtoid with MacGregor, Nakamura and myself. I also kicked ass in the Podtoid Hotdish for the however-many’th time in a row (undefeated!) and endured Darren talking about board games long enough to earn a medal. What ride or attraction would you add to California’s Great America to make that theme park great again?...

Announcement incoming? [Update:The mystery is solved! Nintendo addedEarthBound(SNES) andEarthBound BeginningsakaMother(NES) to the Nintendo Switch Online retro game library.] Nintendo has revealedthatNESand SNES Switch Online maintenance is comingafter the Direct today, which could indicate more games are on the way. It seems like the perfect time to drop some new games, as Nintendo often rolls with the “it’s available now/after the Direct!” style marketing. It’s a small little tease, but it’s always a fun thing to speculate about when there’s going to be a new40-minutefull-size Nintendo Direct....
