If you like it, you can unlock it right from the demo Did you knowTearawayis coming out this Friday? Did you knowwe really, really liked it? Good, because I wasn’t going to let this one slip right past you. That’s not happening on my watch. I don’t think Sony is going to let that happen either, as the demo will launch alongside the game this Friday. Well, it’s more of a trial because you can unlock the game right from the bite-sized piece of content if you like what you’re seeing....

I’m down for anything Chucklefish really Starmancerlooks like it’s going to rip. Developed by Ominux Games and published by Chucklefish, who is slowly becoming one of my favorite publishers, it was shown off at the PC Gaming Show at E3 today. The idea is that you play as an AI as you build up space structures and navigate “ethically ambiguous human farms.” Your role is really elevated here beyond an overlord just mucking about: “Your task as aStarmanceris to construct and manage a space station capable of sustaining human life, regrow bodies for the thousands of minds trapped in your memory banks, and to defend your station at any cost....

Check out everything Destructoid did today I had heard brief mentions of the game, but it wasn’t until Chris wrote up a little piece on it today that I finally tried outCookie Clicker. I sort of wish I had stayed away, because while my fictional cookie productivity is enormous, my real life productivity really suffered today. On Destructoid, Jamie brought us another Challenge Scot, the Podtoid crew released a new episode as they are wont to do on Thursdays, Jordan dragged a ball and chain around in The Daily Spelunk, Dale covered a ton of Tokyo Game Show stuff, and so much more happened on this fine day....

Looking forward to a reboot of an iconicCall of Dutytitle Fans of theCall of Dutyseries expect a new game every year, but there’s always plenty of hype when the new release dates start rolling around. That’s at least the case for me, maybe because I’m still a babyCoDfan, because I’m pumped to try out the newCall of Duty: Modern Warfare II, especially now that it has a release date. They’re really building the suspense on this one — first thelogo reveallast month, now the art reveal, and then some potential new announcements teased for the future....

Going fast is still fun Re-releasingSonic Colorsis a genius idea. I mean looking at the trajectory of mainline Sonic games, it really came at the perfect time. A lot of the goodwill ofSonic Adventure 1+2was dried up, squandered bySonic2006 andUnleashed(the latter of which wasn’t that bad!), andColorsswooped in and reminded people that yes, Sonic games could be good. Given that we’re still fairly fresh off ofSonic Forces, Sonic fans collectively needSonic Colors Ultimateright about now....

And race tracks for your buggy, too! There’s little more than a week untilDying Light: The Followingreleases and we can all start drop-kicking the undead off of buildings again.

‘We are doubling down on that effort through a single-player campaign’ For the first time in nearly a year, Valve’s Twitter account forArtifact, their under-performing card game,actually tweeted something. It was all the way back in March of 2019 that Valve noted that they were working “towards a betterArtifact,” but it took them over a year to actually tell us what that meant. The end result is “Beta 2.0,” which will fix numerous issues with the game while making it more exciting to play....

Hanzo and Genji Blizzard is continuing its salvo of comics and short films with “Dragons,” which deals with Genji and Hanzo of the Shimada clan. Long story short — Genji didn’t want the responsibility of his family’s legacy, so his brother took him out, forcing him to don a cyborg exoskeleton to survive. So how’s the short? Pretty good actually! It kicks off with some beautiful artwork of Japan’s countryside, followed by a look at Hanamura, which is a level that actually appears in the game....

The delay of the Wii U version after the announcement of PS3, 360, and Vita ports seems worlds away, but I’m finally about to embark on the evolution of the gorgeous, 2D platforming goodness I fell in love with inRayman Origins. Better still, this past half year of extra development time has brought about a lot of additions to the game that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen....
