The 10 Best Sonic Games

-
Image
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...

Insomniac Reveals How Spider-Man 2 Handles Character Switching

-
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is nearly here and one of the most exciting things about this sequel is that it features a story focused on both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. As if that wasn't amazing enough, Insomniac has confirmed that players will be able to switch between the two Spider-Men at will in the open-world and at specific times during the story. Speaking to Eurogamer following Spider-Man 2's 10-minute gameplay demo in the latest PlayStation Showcase, Spider-Man 2 creative director Bryan Intihar explained how the game handles switching between the characters and how a lot of it is made possible thanks to the power of the PS5. "When you're playing the main story, we control when you switch between Pete and Miles... it's done in service to the story when we're making those switches, for sure," Intihar said. "So, as you saw on that gameplay reveal, which is a segment of the main story, we are pre-determining those based on what we want to ...

Spider-Man 2's Map Will Be Twice the Size of Its Predecessor's

-
We’ve just gotten some clarity on how big Spider-Man 2’s map will be, and rest assured: there will be plenty to explore. The game’s creative director Bryan Intihar revealed as much in an interview with The Washington Post , saying that the sequel’s map will be twice the size of Spider-Man 1’s. He also teased what it’s like to swing around in Queens, which we previously learned would become available during last week’s 12-minute gameplay demo . “In terms of the size of the city, it’s double the size compared to Spider-Man 1,” Intihar said. “When you play in Queens, there’s much more of a neighborhood feel, smaller buildings, which is why the web wings work so well traversing in that area, where you can swing low to the ground if you want to, or you can fly through.” "We’ve prepared some unexpected situations we haven’t done before. In Spider-Man 1, players were only able to traverse Manhattan. Spider-Man 2, on the other hand, will include both Queens and Brooklyn, with other...

Blaseball, an Absurdist Cult Favorite, Is Officially Ending

-
Blaseball, the horror fantasy baseball game that gained a cult following, is officially ending after a turbulent hiatus. Today, in a post on Medium , Blaseball makers The Game Band announced that Blaseball is not going ahead with the Coronation Era, its current iteration, as planned and is instead ending permanently. The Game Band, which also faced layoffs, attributed Blaseball's ending to a lack of financial sustainability. "We are making the decision to end it here instead of changing Blaseball into something unrecognizable," the post reads. "Part of this loss is many of our incredible team members. Our team size has to change to give us enough runway to even begin to make something new. We are losing so many good people, and we will miss them terribly. They changed the game, literally." We are devastated to announce we are ending Blaseball and saying goodbye to some incredible team members. Our full post here: https://t.co/8ZagEGwiW4 — The Game Band ...

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Still Launching This Winter Despite Square Enix Going Quiet for a Year

-
Square Enix has finally released an update on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth after a year of remaining quiet, reassuring fans that it's still on track to launch this winter. Posting the smallest possible Q&A on the Final Fantasy 7 Twitter (below), Square Enix answered the question: "How is development progressing on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?" The answer really doesn't give much away, though it sounds like fans may get a release date for the long awaited sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake soon. "Development is progressing smoothly and according to plan," Square Enix said. "We are currently working on nailing down a release date for the game." Though the existence of a second Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been obvious for a long time, given that the first game only covers a small portion of the original's story, the sequel was officially announced as Rebirth last June . A debut trailer was shown at the Final Fantasy 7 25th Anniversary Celebration ev...

System Shock Review

-
Trapped in a hell he helped make, a lone hacker aboard a space station far from home sneaks and fights his way through horrible mutants and killer robots in order to take down the monstrous artificial intelligence behind it all: SHODAN, one of the all-time great gaming villains. System Shock pioneered so many first-person shooter concepts back in 1994 that now feel fundamental, simultaneously paving the way for the entire immersive sim genre. Nightdive Studios has done masterful work with this 2023 remake, taking a fantastic game that the years have made hard to play and updating it with modern conveniences that will let it be enjoyed for decades to come. Nominally a shooter, System Shock is more about exploring the labyrinth that is the TriOptimum corporation's Citadel space station than any combat that takes place within it. Your Hacker and their military-grade neural implant are responsible for the significantly degraded situation here, having disabled the AI SHODAN's eth...
