It’s still in beta Magic: The Gathering Arenais starting to gain some momentum and if the developers can solve the dreaded “fifth card problem” (read: rewarding players fairly for getting cards they don’t need) and shape up the economy it has a long run ahead of it and the potential to shake up the entire digital card game market. Right now it’s in open beta form following a closed beta reset, which Wizards of the Coast calls “the last planned reset....

So uncivilized. WithSolo: A Star Wars Storynot churning out the sweet moolah as Disney anticipated, the development of more standaloneStar Warsprojects has been put into question. But one report byThe Playlisthas Disney eyeing their streaming service, which launches sometime in 2019, for the exclusive home for theirrumored Obi-Wan film.

Say stuff to do stuff Yup,Dead Space 3will haveKinect voice control optionssimilar toMass Effect 3. And like the co-op experience, just because the feature is there doesn’t mean EA will be trying to stuff it down your throat. With that said, it’s no secret thatI’m not a fan of Kinect, but there is some merit to the voice system in regards to co-op. Co-op buddies will be able to quickly share ammo and health with each other without having to pull up the inventory menu by saying something like “share ammo....

Which is still a lot of money True story time, kids: On Friday, there was a power outage in my apartment complex and when it was restored a few hours later, my PC refused to boot. I’m hoping it’s just the PSU that’s blown but my suspicions are that my motherboard is fried (yes, I had it plugged into a surge protector power strip for all the good that apparently did)....

The Academy is trying to make the ceremony, like, watchable Those Academy Awards just can’t seem to please everyone. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — aka AMPAS, aka the Academy — announced some changes to the annual Oscars awards ceremony that will be implemented in future telecasts.

A three-hour Oscars telecast We are committed to producing an entertaining show in three hours, delivering a more accessible Oscars for our viewers worldwide....

Orcs vs. Humans World of Warcraftmight not have the same cultural cache it once had in an era filled with multi-million player free-to-play MMOs, but at this point it’s most definitely an institution. The fact is, Blizzard has maintained the project for nearly 14 years with a subscription-based service. All around them they saw the vast majority of their competition move to free-to-play, yet they remained steadfast. Its seventh expansion promises to get back to basics in a sense, but it’s also indicative of where it could go from here....

YouTuber rickonami is back in the saddle with an HD-ified intro remake of arcade / SNES shmupU.N. Squadron. Compared to his ridiculously amazingStar Foxvideo, it’s not as polished, the unfortunate outcome of being on a rushed timetable. Nonetheless, his rushed work is leagues ahead of anything I could hope to create. And listen to the sweet guitar arrangements featured in the video, care ofvertexguyandGrospixels. I’m not all that familiar with vertexguy’s work, but Grospixels has long been on my radar....

The trademark has been renewed If you forgot (or are hearing it for the first time), the Microsoft and Platinum collaborationScaleboundwas canceled several months ago. I mean, some of us kind of saw it coming in a way given the Xbox One’s awful performance in Japan, but I was still hopeful that it would happen regardless. Interestingly enough though this week we’re getting some fuel to add to the fire that is this abandoned project, which might not be dead after all....
