For your patience, Rayman will reward you with enhanced graphics, shorter loading times, exclusive costumes, and extra challenge levels designed to take advantage of all that fancy next-gen hardware.
It's truly a bizarre concept when you think of the "tycoon" genre as something people become addicted to and spend hours upon hours enjoying. It comprises a group of videogames whose sole purpose is to simulate the tedious tasks of a management job like accounting, regulating lines, and deciding the best place to put a restroom. Where...
You have to respect Gearbox's commitment to honoring the holidays. Third up in the Borderlands 2 Headhunter DLC series is "How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day," launching December 17th for the modest price of $2.99. This follows up the previous Headhunter DLCs, "TK Baha's Bloody Harvest," for Halloween and "Horrible Hunger of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler," for Thanksgiving. If there is a special day where you eat a truly disgusting amount and watch your uncle descend into a legendary state of intoxication, you can bet Gearbox is going to somehow incorporate guns.
Microsoft has announced that the Xbox One has sold 2 million units in its 18 days since launch. If you are wondering how the PlayStation 4 is doing?

Days after launching as an early release beta, Starbound has rolled out the first of many updates to add new content and tweak the old. The main focus of this patch was to re-balance weapon damage and the leveling system, but several new items and enemies made the cut, including a staple for sandbox games: grappling hooks!
I enjoyed the big Tom Clancy's The Division reveal at E3 this year. Seeing the tattered landscape of post-apocalyptic New York pull back to reveal the vastness of this multiplayer 3rd person shooter was definitely a highlight of the show for me. The concept of a disease spreading on Black Friday sounded less like a coherent plot and more like a cautionary tale against American greed, however.
The VGX's happened this weekend, and while you might not agree with the results for "x of the year," it was still pretty cool to see some actual game play. Polish developer Techland just can't get enough zombie love, especially of the first person variety. The makers of Dead Island look like they're taking the heavy hitting melee lessons they learned about in that game and applying it to Dying Light. The big shift from Island to Light is instead of being a burly man with a sledgehammer, you can now be a burly man with a sledgehammer who moonlights as a ninja.
