Android: Netrunnerwas basically the coolest card game of all time, and then it died. That’s how the story goes anyway.Netrunneris a two-person game set in a classically cyberpunk universe where corporations squeeze the planet for all its worth and a handful of hackers are the only ones fighting back. One player takes on the role of a corporation advancing its secret agendas while the other plays a runner trying to break into the corp’s servers and steal its data....

Releasing on Switch and PC in early 2020 Part of the joy of exploring an interconnected game world comes from having inherently enjoyable traversal options, and in the case of the upcoming Nintendo Switch and PC metroidvania gameKunai, I don’t think the ninja protagonist’s grappling hook is ever going to get old. You can swing around to your heart’s content, slash-bounce off the heads of your foes, and unload chunky dual SMGs to finish the kill....

Those looking forward to herding dead-eyed plant monsters with friends around the world are in for a disappointment. Nintendo has no intention of exploiting the Wii U’s increased online focus withPikmin 3, as the game shall only feature local multiplayer. “You have to be very careful that you don’t drop frames as you’re trying to sync up with other players over what could be a very great physical distance, over the Internet,” said Shigeru Miyamoto, explaining toIGNhow the Internet works....

They’re vital to the smooth running of your bases, but they take up a lot of room and they’re not even all the same size, which makes it awkward. However, players have discovered a handy trick that works tomaximise efficiency, while also reducing the footprint of your farmby a large amount;stacking these Plantationson top of each other allows up to three crops to be watered or gathered at once....

DedicatedCivilization IVplayers really missed the espionage and religion mechanics that were left out ofCiv V. Not only are these two beloved systems being brought back in withGods & Kings,but they are being reworked to make much more sense. There are also new leaders to pick from, 27 new units, 13 buildings, 9 wonders, and 9 more civilizations. Espionage, religion, and combat all get some long-desired overhauls with this expansion, and the AI is being re-balanced as well....

Killing Japanese school girls It’s been a bit since we checked in onYandere Simulator, theHitman-like stealth game “about stalking a boy and secretly eliminating any girl who seems interested in him, while maintaining the image of an innocent schoolgirl.” Last time it waspoisoning rivals. Now? Ah, well you can collect erotic manga to read at night to up your seduction skill, though you have to stay up late to read it, which costs you an hour of school time the next morning....

You’ll need to continue using your imagination Nothing slips pastResident Evilfans. Deep down in Capcom’s (actually pretty interesting!)annual reportfor 2021, there’s a mention of “free additional DLC” forResident Evil Village. To backtrack a bit, we already knew —from an announcement at E3 2021— that Capcom had “just started” developing “additional DLC forResident Evil Village.” I was just reminded of that no-frills message the other day and worked myself up thinking about the many potential cool directions that DLC could take....

Infiniteis a remaster of the sameRezwe know and love, but there’s some new content, too — “Area X....

Dragon Shouts work At the end of every competitive season inRocket League, players are given an in-game reward tied to their performance.

The Prospect wheels are modest and boring when compared to the glitzy Champion wheels: Psyonix is changing its approach for the end of season 5....

Nintendo vs. Sega Author Blake Harris’Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generationwill be available in the USthis May, but the story doesn’t end there. Sony Pictures is adapting the book into a feature-length movie, written and directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. While this is a fascinating topic, one that should make for both a good book and movie, I’m wondering what tone the latter will take with Goldberg and Rogen attached to the project....
