Phantom Dust Re-Imagining Changing Hands
It’s never good when a project hits a snag as large as the original developer being ousted from the development process. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happened when it comes to Darkside Games being shooed away from the recently announced Phantom Dust re-imagining. Continue reading Phantom Dust Re-Imagining Changing Hands
Spawn Might Meet Scorpion
“When one door closes, another one opens” is a frequently used saying in my area. However, I don’t think it’s ever been used in reference to Mortal Kombat X, nor to mean that one murderous combatant could be “traded out” for another. Continue reading Spawn Might Meet Scorpion
Update: The Last Guardian – It (Still) Lives!
Update: The demise of The Last Guardian due to failure to renew the trademark has been completely undone. After a short petition to get the trademark back to active status, Sony and the United States Patent and Trademark Office came together to give life to this IP once more. I say once more because this is the second time this failure to renew has occured. Hopefully it won’t happen again. Continue reading Update: The Last Guardian – It (Still) Lives!

Evolve Review
Hunt, Kill, Repeat
Turtle Rock Studios is a developer already much beloved for the Left 4 Dead series, a set of games that really pushed forward the concept of cooperative multiplayer. With Evolve, Turtle Rock looks to push cooperative multiplayer even further with an ambitious 4 vs. 1 match style. At full disclosure, I’m not very good at this type of game. Normally, I tend to stick to playing single-player titles (an option that Evolve allows). However, Evolve’s concept really excited me: a huge, nearly unstoppable monster versus a squad of hunters, high stakes, the thrill of the hunt. These ideas were enough to venture from my comfort zone into the realm of multiplayer gaming (which is definitely how the game deserves to be played). Was Evolve everything I hoped it would be? Did I have a great time? In short, the answer is yes, though a few shortcomings will likely prevent it from evolving into the most dominant game of 2015.
