While on the inside of a circle, the player character needs to jump to the next circle. Return to step one; repeat. Watching the video above, I’m not totally convinced I’d be able to do it....
Yes, BitComposer Games is opting for real-time combat withJagged Alliance 2: Reloaded. Fans of the original, pretend I used OhGodNotTheBees.jpg instead, if you’d like. But, before you freak out too much, at least let them justify this decision. “To ensure thatJagged Alliance 2makes a successful transition into 2011,” BitComposer has come up with a “Plan & Go” system in place of turn-based combat which: removes fog of war, allows pausing, puts an emphasis on timing, and includes new AI functions....
Hot off the heels oftheir announced inclusionin theInjustice: Gods Among Usroster yesterday, Warner Bros. has put together a new trailer for the promising new fighter that shows gameplay footage of both Nightwing, Cyborg, andeveryone else we’ve seen up to this point. And you know what? I’m thinking Nightwingmightend up being my main go-to character when the title launches next year. I love how agile he seems to play. Cyborg looks like a lot of fun, but I don’t think he’s my kind of character....
Despite numerous scheduling conflicts yesterday at MAGFest, we did get the chance to pop in on the Bad Dudes panel where they announced that their next project will be a physical remix album dedicated toEarthBound.

Although he’s part of an NDA that prevents him from noting specifics, he does say that it’s being worked on by “many companies,” and that “30 years of source material” was used to develop the concept. It will be new though and not reminiscent of past shows, and “hundreds of people” are working on it....

This is that mobile game, remember? Playing a fully fledgedFinal Fantasygame on a mobile device probably doesn’t sound like fun to a lot of people out there. I know for a fact it didn’t around these parts, as many sounded off around the launch ofMobius Final Fantasyto say “yeah, no.” Your time has come though, asMobiuswas just announced for the PC platform (via Steam), and you too can play as the scantily clad male hero in his quest to…be the Warrior of Light and snuff out the darkness....
I am not a fan of motion gaming, waggle, touch screens, or other so-called “casual controls.” It’s not that I write them off the moment I see them. I just have yet to see a game that uses those control options to make the experience better to gamers like me, who are well accustomed to a standard controller. Just recently though, I saw a game that’s finally change my mind, and its name isModnation Racers: Road Trip....
Gravity Fallsfans are all tied up in knots over a website that was first discovered in The Book of Bill by show creator Alex Hirsch, which was released on July 23. The website, ‘This is Not a Website Dot Com,’ has sparked hope thatGravity Fallsmay be making a comeback. If this all sounds a little convoluted, don’t worry. Even I’m confused and I’m a fan of the show. When fans first discovered the password-protected website through The Book of Bill, they were astoundingly fast at figuring out that the password was “TJ Eckleburg,” whose eyes are on a billboard overlooking the valley of ashes in The Great Gatsby....
