As part of the Triple-i initiative stream, Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Northplay have shown offa new trailerfor strategy gameDinolords. Dinolordstakes us back to the days of the Viking Expansion of the 9th to 11th Century.

No…no, no! Oh, I’m afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive — but Palpatine won’t be. After bending to the will of Disney and its userbase and cracking open some of the progression system,Star Wars Battlefront IIis moving on to new galaxies and updates and some bumps in the road. The latest situation with the Emperor Palpatine hero is definitely the latter, as developer DICE recently removed the character from the game due to a bug....

But whileWii Sportswas fun, we wanted to see what motion controls could do outside a set of family-friendly minigame compilations.The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princessdidn’t make very good use of the controls, but it was really a port of a GameCube title....

Yeah, that’s right: I saidauteur. Deal with it. Entertainment Weekly recently posted aninterviewwith Shigeru Miyamoto where topics ranged from social issues in video gaming (most Japanese kids are evidently dicks), Miyamoto’s stance on game design (“I could makeHalo…it’s just that I choose not to.”), and the disappointing Japanese sales ofTwlight Princess(kids would rather buyWii Play). The interview is tragically short considering EW had the chance to pick the brain of the greatest living video game developer, but that doesn’t make it any less revealing: though Miyamoto dodges the question of whether he’ll ever make a “serious” game, he doesn’t buy into the financially-driven crap that seems to flood the western game market....

Celebrating 30 years of the Game Boy I can recall the very first time I experienced the awful phenomenon known as FOMO, or “fear of missing out.” It was in middle school. I was obsessed with the WWF at the time and my family had recently traded in our SNES for the “way cooler” PlayStation. That was the center of my gaming world for the next few years and my brother and I made the most of it, trying out an endless array of games from the local rental shop....

Come back! We miss you! Digitalisation has left a sizeable footprint on gaming. The number of people who stick to physical releases is dwindling, especially since some games can only be obtained on console/publisher online marketplaces. Some of us still gripe and groan about our godawful download speeds and so still frequent our local games stores, but rows upon rows of blue boxes on games room shelves could become the reserve of the retro gamer before long....
