• Take On Your Friends In Divinity: Original Sin 2

  03-09-2016 22:40
  While the first Divinity: Original Sin surprised me as an awesome throwback to the glory days of PC RPGs, the upcoming Divinity: Original Sin 2 is bringing even more to the table on top of the single player experience. Players can form special groups and actually take on their friends (or enemies, or random people) in turn-based arena combat, letting players engage with the elemental combinations, knockdowns, blessings and curses in whole new ways, far from the beach critters and swarms of spid

• Painting The World In Paper Mario: Color Splash

  03-09-2016 22:06
  At PAX West 2016, I had a hands-on session with the upcoming Wii U title Paper Mario: Color Splash, taking on an arena full of koopas, shyguys, and goombas.
  While the arena itself had plenty of characters to talk to and secrets to find in hidden areas, the core draw was the combat. Using a collection of colorful cards to set up attacks isn't anything new,  but integrating timing mechanics as the battle plays out ensures that every jump and hammer smash keeps the player invested and active

  In a standard Mario game, there are a few options you can always rely on when you’re taking down an enemy. You can stomp, use a Super Star, or maybe throw a fireball, but how often do you get to blind a koopa with lemon juice? Well, thanks to Paper Mario: Color Splash, even the power of citrus is now in our favorite plumber’s arsenal.
  In Color Splash, the battle card system from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam returns, but this time with a new twist: Thing cards. You can still utilize j

• The Jackal Assault VR Demo Is Equal Parts Intriguing and Confusing

  03-09-2016 21:49
  Along with demos for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered's multiplayer (as well as the new "Zombies in Spaceland" mode), Activision had a demo of Infinite's Warfare's PlayStation VR demo at this year's Call of Duty XP event. Titled Jackal Assault, the demo was brief, and while it offers some interesting glimpses into what we can expect when traditional gameplay mixes with VR, it doesn't quite sell the technology it's centered around.The demo straps you int

• Why Final Fantasy XV Becomes More Linear Near the End

  03-09-2016 20:00
  
  Final Fantasy XV has a gigantic open world to explore, but it doesn’t stay that way the entire time. Recently, director Hajime Tabata has discussed the fact that in later parts of the game, XV actually becomes more linear as players start to focus more on following the story.
  In an interview at PAX, Tabata explained why the game is structured this way, and clarified how much of the open world you’ll still be able to go back and explore even once you’ve reached the later parts o

• World of Final Fantasy May Be the Series' Funniest Game

  03-09-2016 18:00
  
  Final Fantasy isn’t a series primarily associated with humor. While each game features its own comic relief, mainline games are generally better known for their epic, sweeping stories and Shakesperean-level tragedies. In World of Final Fantasy, I heard two jokes about body odor within a 20-minute play session.
  World of Final Fantasy is an adorable new departure for Final Fantasy and sees players exploring the land of Grymoire, a chibi-style world filled with all of the Final Fantasy monste
