Posted on August 26, 2016 by Les Major

MeiQ Title
The latest Compile Heart title headed on PlayStation Vita received a new trailer today giving some insight into MeiQ’s story. This dungeon crawling RPG features first person exploration, sort of like Etrian Odyssey but with actual triggered event style turn based combat. It looks to be quite the adventure and if anything, those of us who aren’t Vita owners can probably look forward to this title eventually making it’s way onto Steam like most Idea Factory titles in recent memory. MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death will be released on September 13th in North America and on the 16th in Europe.

Don’t Panic! Your Favorite Overwatch Agent Won’t Be Retired

Posted on August 25, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Could some of our favorite Overwatch agents be retired? After an initial comment to Game Informer by Jeff Kaplan regards to the possibility of removing existing heroes the game director has taken to the official forums to expand upon his comments. Originally Kaplan stated to GI that the dev team had “left the door open” on the retirement on heroes in the future.  He cited the game’s business model of providing all players new content for free as one of the reasons he might not feel bad for removing an existing hero. Here is the exact quote: “We would leave the door open

Three Street Fighters coming to [NEW] 3DS eShop only tomorrow

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Jason Nason

Because the old Nintendo 3DS can’t seem to handle SNES graphics, Nintendo will release three classic SNES Street Fighter games for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow, but only for NEW Nintendo 3DS units. The games will also be overpriced in Canada. While it still baffles me why Nintendo is making every Virtual Console title in recent memory not available to preexisting Nintendo 3DS units, the new games join the growing list of VC titles the majority of gamers won’t be able to play. The new games being added tomorrow include Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, Street Fighter

30 Minutes of Cancelled Goldeneye XBLA Footage Appears Online

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

It would appear that the almost impenetrable fortress of secrets that is Rare’s England based offices couldn’t keep James Bond’s cancelled XBLA mission a secret forever. A YouTuber by the name of ‘Rare Thief’ has uploaded 30 minutes of what appears to be direct-feed footage of the cancelled Xbox Live Arcade reimagining of the 1997 classic. Previous leaks surrounding the unannounced, incomplete and unreleased title amounted to a widely circulated magazine cover story from Xbox Magazine from a few years back and a 30 second video clip from the Silo level. Rare Thief’s leak is much more substantial – showing

Savage Lands Is Actually Pretty Neat

Posted on August 22, 2016 by Les Major

Savage Lands Campfire
As far as early access goes and something that was nearly given away on the base tier of a recent Humble Bundle, Savage Lands is actually a pretty fun experience. At first glance I just assumed it was a basic indie Elder Scrolls sort of game, but it actually falls more into the survival and crafting genre. Sure this early access experience is still a little rough around the edges, but it’s the basics that kind of work the best for it. Stepping out of the way of lunging skeletons, strafing around an enraged boar, firing that one last arrow
