X-Blades sequel Blades of Time out March 6

I will be perfectly honest — I had no idea this was a thing. It seems beyond comprehension thatX-Bladeswould actually manage to get a sequel, but it seems that Konami has picked the title up from the ashes of Southpeak and is releasing a gamenext week. Blades of Timeappears to be keeping its connection toX-Bladesa thinly veiled secret. Ayume has been given a complete makeover, with a more “realistic” appearance compared to her original anime-fueled look....

A new narrative mission introduces three new Ruler units (the Viper King in the header image is the only revealed example) that will pursue your squad throughout the campaign, all with unique tactics....

Zynga has lost half of its active users in the last year

And $61 million this first quarter (almost 69, nice) The bad news is that I’m sure they all moved on to play god damnCandy Crush. For now. Until some other bright casino game or reality show about a bad 90’s rapper living in an Amish community wrangles their attention so they can mentally escape this oligarchical, dystopic America. Zynga’s daily active user count actually rose from 27 million in the last quarter of 2013 to 28 million this quarter,Ars Technicareports, but these numbers are down, compared to the first quarter of 2013, when Zynga had 53 million daily active users....

Amplitude is the best thing Harmonix has ever done

I couldn’t be more excited for the Kickstarter Back in 2003, I was introduced to what would become one of my favorite games of all time —Amplitudefor the PlayStation 2.

Bayonetta artist gives a lightsaber wielding schoolgirl a new look for No More Heroes 3

How will they top this Howell? There are basically two kinds ofNo More Heroesfans. There’s the group who loves it all, and then the people who totally worship the first game, then just sort of tolerates everything else. Personally, I’m in the first camp. The original was a trendsetter that is yet to be replaced, but it feels cold and detached at times, making replays a bit icy. The sequel is a much hotter ride, emotionally and otherwise....
