-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

Paradox Cancels 'Several' Unannounced Games to Focus on Its Proven Genres

-

Paradox Interactive has stopped development on multiple unannounced games in an effort to put more resources into safer bets for the company's profits.

The publisher announced the cancellations in a press release on Thursday. Paradox says they are still working on 15 new games including Victoria 3, Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Crusader Kings 3 on consoles, and the Shadowrun Trilogy on consoles. Paradox is also working on many new DLCs.

Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester says the company is focusing more on the company's reputation for strategy games and making games last long after launch.

"Paradox Interactive was born and raised in strategy and management games," Wester said in a press release. "It is where we have our heart and our mind and we are passionate about making games that our players can enjoy over a long period of time. Therefore we have sharpened our pipeline further to ensure that the projects with the highest potential have the resources necessary for the best possible development. We now have a promising game pipeline and I look forward to sharing these games with our players over the next few years."

Paradox released two games in 2020: Empire of Sin and Crusader Kings III. Crusader Kings III received critical acclaim and is the 11th best-reviewed game of 2020 on Metacritic. Paradox specifically mentions in the press release that the Royal Court DLC is still in development for Crusader Kings III.

The publisher also released the strategy game Surviving the Aftermath in October 2020, but the game remains in early access at the time of writing.

This change in direction for Paradox may have been the creative differences that led to Ebba Ljungerud resigning as CEO of Paradox in September due to the company's new direction.

IGN's 10 out of 10 Crusader Kings III review said the game, "takes the throne as the new king of historical strategy." Crusader Kings III has been announced for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 but does not have a release date at this time. Until then, read up on details of the upcoming Royal Court DLC.
