Developer Two Tribes seems to have heard these complaints, because the Steam release ofToki Tori 2is now calledToki Tori 2+to emphasize the additions that have been made,as chronicled here. The inclusion of a level editor is particularly neat, while care seems to have been lent to making the game a bit more holistic....

The new additions for PC are excellent In 2013, the highly anticipatedTowerFallhit the Ouya platform — and so began the thousands of voices clamoring for a port to any other platform. As of late last year creator Matt Thorson reported that he had only sold around 5,000 copies of the game on Ouya, due in part to the Ouya’s low install base andeven lower propensityto actuallybuyanything on it. Now it’s 2014, and the Ouya exclusivity deal has expired....

He’s laughing just thinking about it Normally a celebrity event like thisMortal Kombat Xlaunch tournament would be the sort of thing that makes my skin crawl. A slimy affair of glad-handing B-list celebrities on the downslope of their careers trying to appear relevant mixed with the video game industry’s cloying insistence on being recognized by Hollywood (an institution they claim to be in the process of burying). That’s a whole lot of desperation concentrated in one room....

Apparently he is really stupid as well [Update:Apparently this wasn’t a cartoon planned for television but was planned to be used in the original game but was cut.] Check out the above video shows the intro (and first episode?) for what was to be aCrash Bandicootcartoon above that was evidently cancelled. I did some research but it doesn’t look like much has ever been said about this or the origin, though the uploader does say the producer of the game David Siller gave him permission to upload this....

First look at gamescom A tactical game with a ’70s heist movie theme? Finding something like that at gamescom is about as unlikely as finding a videogame trailer with porn star Ron Jeremy in it. But here we are with both. Crookzis a single-player tactical game has players guiding the movement of a crew of thieves through their missions as they infiltrate buildings, sneak around guards, and work through obstacles to lift their heist target....

There’s a SteelBook, too We’re at the point where we have a decent idea of what Hideo Kojima’sDeath Strandingentails. Coming this November on PS4 (but on other possible platforms later), it deals with an isolated and terrifying world, with an action-oriented tint. Various film and television icons like Guillermo del Toro, Mads Mikkelsen, Nicholas Winding Refn, and Norman Reedus portray the photo-realistic cast. “Kojima” is enough to sell some people on this whole concept, but the more we know, the more mesmerizing it sounds....

I meant every word of that rant. That said, there is a new point and click adventure on the horizon that just may be able to usurp Zak’s reign in those areas....
