I’d play a Star Wars game starring Jaina Solo Knights of the Old Republicis easily one of the greatestStar Warsgames ever conceived. It took all that we loved with the universe and harkened back on the classic feeling that was desperately void in the cinematic prequel trilogy. But it’s not the only part of the expanded Star Wars universe that deserves an awesome video game adaptation. Meet Jaina Solo (as portrayed by cosplayerEve Beauregard) the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa....

Check out the new trailer Vertical Drop Heroesis shaping up to look like quite the enticing indie release, and the promise of a procedural generated platforming RPG has me intrigued. A new trailer has been released in celebration of a full release date — May 20th, 2014. It’ll drop on the PC and Mac, and it’ll run you $5 when it hits Green Man Gaming, the Humble Store, and GOG.Vertical Drop Heroeswill feature local split-screen multiplayer as well as network play, which is making that cheap price tag all the sweeter....

The publisher is on the hook for influencer disclosures Notably, the end result of all of this (WB has settled the aforementioned charges) isnota fine. The FTC is prohibiting “Warner Bros. from misrepresenting that any gameplay videos disseminated as part of a marketing campaign are independent opinions or the experiences of impartial video game enthusiasts.” Going forward, the company must also “clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection between Warner Bros....

Next year is going to be crowded Cupheadis not the type of game you want to see rushed, and as much as I would love to play it this year, I’m all for giving Studio MDHR more breathing room. Given the project’sanimation inspirations, the creators had hoped to finish the run-and-gun platformer “80 years after 1936, but it will now be 81.” According to art director Chad Moldenhauer, “Throughout this year we discussed reducing the scope to make a 2016 release, but we made the difficult decision to delay the launch in order to ship with our vision intact....

Who makes (second) impact? Capcom has fully revealed the launch roster for its exciting-looking fighterStreet Fighter 6, offering us an18-strong cast of new and familiar faces, (with a few more fightersalready waiting in the wings). It’s a wicked cast, and the buzz surrounding newcomers such as Marisa, Kimberly, and Jamie seems more fervent among the community than usual, which is a great sign for the new generation. The overall World Warrior cast ishuge, however, and unfortunately, not everybody can make the cut....

A showdown almost as slow as the average Saturday news feed It’s little surprise that the biggest buzz fromthat Nintendo Direct last weekcame fromthe extremely vagueSmash Bros.teaser. After all,Smashis one of the biggest IPs in video game history, mainly because it gathers together many of the other biggest IPs in video game history.It features dozens of memorable faces carousing around with random items punching each other in the face, just like any party!...

Optimus-PrimeSense Apple confirmed that they bought PrimeSense, the company behind the original Kinect, for $360 million dollars. A spokesmen told theBBCthat “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.” I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Apple wants to make some type of wired camera that watches you while you watch television. It makes sense for Apple to try to make a move into the living room, and to compete with the Xbox One’s advanced Kinect technology....

It’s a mostly good selection of games, at that Like the DS before it, the 3DS is becoming one of my favorite platforms. Now that we are several years into its life, it has a pretty great selection of first and third-party games. There are enough now that I have fallen behind on getting them. Fortunately, this week’s deal at Best Buy is there for me. Until this Friday (“while supplies last”), select 3DS games will be available in a buy one, get one free deal....

From the community Ah, nostalgia—that sublime elixir that prods me through my daily drudgeries. Dead end jobs, failed relationships, endless bills and setbacks—sometimes I wonder whether, were it not for the buoying, gilded memories of simpler years, I’d just sink beneath life’s tepid sea. And I’m not alone; even the happiest of souls find solace in their past, when the world seemed unsullied and distant, when life was a safe, automated journey between home and school....
