Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale launches on March 1 in North America. The game developed by XSEED is a crossover between the Harvest Moon series (Which is known as “A Story of Seasons” in Japan) and manga series PopoloCrois. The manga has already spawned several spin-off games that were localized for the West, the last of which was released over ten years ago for PSP. Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale will get both a physical and digital release in the States, but will be restricted to a digital only release in Europe. A trailer showing off some of the features of the game can be found below the jump.Read More

Why I Love Fallout 4’s Trans Character
Posted on February 6, 2016 by Kirk Williford
This guest editorial was written by Zoey Wolfe, whom you can find on Twitter @CustomRetrofit
“I’m a woman, baby, can’t you tell?” The first time I heard Fallout 4’s native Robot to Female transsexual, KLE0, speak those words, I was stunned. My jaw, as cliche as this is, actually dropped. Was this going to be a very unfunny joke? Had I paid 60 dollars for the privilege of being insulted by Bethesda’s mediocre writing team? Or was it possible that against all odds, and previous experiences, a miracle would occur and a Real Live Trans Robot could be my friend? I was curious where they were taking it.
When you first enter Goodneighbor, Fallout 4’s hamlet of misfits and rogues, you are greeted with a minor cutscene where the mayor stabs a man in the town square over a mere trifle and then welcomes you to town with a smile and handshake. Goodneighbor is just that kind of place, one that grants freedom with one hand and proffers a knife with the other.

H1Z1 is being split in to two paid games
Posted on February 6, 2016 by Fionna Schweit
Later this month H1Z1 will be split into two separate games—the open-world survival mode being one, and the competitive Battle Royale mode being the other—and each will be sold separately. Truthfully the meteoric rise of this game leaves the studio Daybreak Games with little other choice. Open world zombie survival is no longer all the rage, but the Battle Royal mode that was meant to be a supplement to the game ended up eclipsing it.
So heres the skinny. One game will be called H1Z1: Just Survive this one is classic H1Z1, and will likely be the one most people leave behind. The wildly popular Battle Royale plus some new planned competitive modes, will be the second game called: H1Z1: King of the Kill. Each game will be sold at retail for 19.99. The games will separate from each other beginning on February 17.
If you already bought H1Z1 in early access you are in the clear, you get both games, no extra charge. If you have ever had any interest in H1Z1 now is the time to buy, as this with this announcement Daybreak are giving both games to anyone who buys in to early access right now until that February 17th date. If you have any, you’ll get to keep cosmetic items, keys, unopened crates, and event tickets you’ve acquired or purchased before the game splits in two. After the split, premium items collected in one game won’t be available to your character in the other, even if you own both games.
For release dates, King of The Kill will leave Early Access sometime this summer (at which time it will also appear on consoles) at a price of $19.99. The second half H1Z1: Just Survive, has no confirmed release date. Each game will it seems also be coming to a console near you when it finishes its current development cycle.
