This Snowpiercer review contains spoilers. Snowpiercer Episode 6 A broken window is, normally, an inconvenience. The rain might get in, or bugs, but a little duct tape and a piece of cardboard or plastic wrap and the window is whole enough to serve its purpose until it can be replaced. A broken window on Snowpiercer wiped out an entire species. A bullet hole in some sort of fluid tank created a drip....
Earlier this week, ex-Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé spoke to an audience at Cornell University, his alma mater, as part of his new position as a “Leader in Residence” at the school. This event gave the public rare access to Reggie post-Nintendo, as he only just stepped down as president in April of this year. One particular member of the audience took full advantage of the intimate, non-corporate environment to ask Reggie about something that’s been on the minds of Nintendo fans for a long time: Mother 3....
God bless Japan. When it comes to offbeat independent games, Sony has definitely made the biggest splash over the last few years (think PixelJunk Shooter), and great arcade titles will no doubt continue to bring them a great deal of street cred. I personally love the out-of-the-box game design that seems to stream out Japan, And Sony Computer Entertainment’s latest offering is yet another inventive example. Tokyo Jungle follows Patchwork Heroes as the most recent project to emerge from Sony’s PlayStation CAMP initiative focusing on giving Japanese game developers a chance to pitch their game ideas in hopes of being published....

Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda said that the publisher wants upcoming shooter Left Alive to be a ‘AAA brand,’ DualShockers reports. During the company’s recent quarterly call with investors, Matsuda said ‘We want to make it into a AAA brand, but that does not mean that we intend to devote massive development costs to it.’ Sounds more like a AA game to me, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, whatsoever. Matsuda made it clear that Square is targeting a core audience, stating ‘the game will be satisfying in a hardcore way, and that’s how we want to market it to players....

The most anticipated new science fiction TV series of next year is without a doubt Star Trek: Picard. Because Star Trek: The Next Generation essentially defined late ‘80s and ‘90s sci-fi on TV, a direct sequel to that show not only gets to push sci-fi forward into the future, but also trade heavily on nostalgia for one of the most creative periods in franchise history. And, after San Diego Comic-Con the most nostalgic and confusing Picard news was easily the return of Brent Spiner as the android Mr....
If recent rumors are to be believed, the next saga in Star Wars will take place in a previously unexplored time period known as the High Republic. Rumored to be called “Project Luminous,” this next saga will be a transmedia presentation of big-screen films, books, comic books, and may even possibly kick off with a Star Wars video game set in the High Republic Era. While many video game fans are probably very familiar with the Old Republic time period of Star Wars thanks to the Knights of the Old Republic RPGs and The Old Republic MMORPG, the High Republic is uncharted territory....
Valve has introduced a new system to calculate user review scores on Steam, and as a result could put indie developers using crowd-funding at a distinct disadvantage. A blog post on Steam goes into the changes and reasons for doing so. “We know this review score has become a valuable shortcut for customers to gauge how well the game is matching customer expectations. But the review score has also become a point of fixation for many developers, to the point where some developers are willing to employ deceptive tactics to generate a more positive review score,” explains Valve....

One of the writers of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has expressed a desire to write an animated Star Fox movie on Twitter. Nintendo used to be a lot more open to animated adaptations of its first-party properties, with Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda receiving their own cartoons in the ’80s. The live-action Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993 put the brakes on Nintendo’s desire to adapt its properties to the screen, due to the vitriolic reaction to the movie from both critics and fans alike....
SNK’s go-to business practice these days is to release its extensive Neo Geo library on any system that will take it for a few bucks a title. Back in the day, having an arcade-perfect Fatal Fury game at your fingertips would cost you a couple of hundred dollars. Now you can get pretty much any of them for no more than $8 if there isn’t a sale going on. God bless them for it because what a collection of games....
From making fun of Ant-Man in 1979 to making fun of Ant-Man in 2014, Saturday Night Live has always thrown a line to the world of comic book superheroes. Superman himself has been portrayed by the likes of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, Jerry Seinfeld, The Rock, and even Macaulay Culkin. With the increased mainstream popularity, the superhero skits definitely became more rampant in the latter half of the show’s tenure, though there’s still a gem or two in the early days....
In the rare happy example of a company messing up, Sega accidentally game some people a full copy of Yakuza 6 early for free. What was meant to be only a demo of the game’s opening gave some players access to the whole thing, causing Sega to quickly pull the demo. Still, some North American players are now playing the full game, unlocking trophies and no doubt sharing spoilers online....
