There are a lot of questions to be asked here. For one, does Bigby Wolf really expect to recover from his injuries like that? Why is nobody reacting to him? Why is this so goddamned hypnotizing? Is there a way to toggle The Wolf Among Us so we can play the whole game like this?Read more...

E3: Behind The Curtain Is…
As of April 15th, it is a mere 56 days before E3 – that’s just 8 weeks from today! We’re a bit nerdy when it comes to booth design – we like having something a little different each and every year, while maintaining a few staples that our E3 fans have come to love. Watch for a full album of memories live from E3, as CeeCee will be in the booth again this year with her camera snapping all sorts of pics!

E3: What Shall We Play?

We know our fans are anxious to hear what we’ll be showing, and we’ll have lots of news coming over the next two months as we get ever-closer to the show’s launch. While we can’t discuss any specific titles at this time, rest assured that many of the staple Natsume series that we’re known for will be in attendance. We’ll have a final line-up of games that will be showing during E3 (June 10th-12th) in late May or early June!

The Legoland amusement part in Billund, Denmark is holy ground for fans of the colorful plastic bricks. Back in 1968, when the park first opened, it was an opportunity for charmingly British narrators to say things like "sprawling landscape land of make-believe." Read more...

At the end of Mass Effect 3, thousands of ships from all across known space come together to liberate Earth and smash the Reapers. Then a pretty cutscene plays, and we passively watch the ensuing cool space battle. But oh, what if you gathered and commanded the fleet, and they were following your strategy? What if the slog across the Milky Way were a bit more Homeworld-ian? Turns out I didn’t write those sentences as idle musings, that there is actually a purpose to this post.

See, that’s basically the idea behind Mass Effect Reborn, a Homeworld 2 mod where you get to control that Alliance fleet. The first version is out now, if you fancy giving it a bash.

This pic comes from a recent hands-on demo with Mario Kart 8. You can clearly see that 27 characters are revealed, with 3 question marks hiding other characters. Unless the character select screen expands somehow, we know there are at least 3 more racers to reveal. Thanks to Michael for the heads up!

Famitsu put out the preview scan above, and while it may be small, we can see that the article confirms new playable characters. You can now expect Paratroopa, Kamek, Toad and
Birdo to join the ranks.

Navarro World Order is currently in effect, which means we somehow talk about wrestling for most of the show. Something about PAX East, too.

San Jose, CA - April 15, 2014 - MonkeyPaw Games, Inc. has announced that BurgerTime World Tour will now sell for a delicious $4.99 until April 30, 2014 when it will be removed from digital store fronts due to expiring licensing agreements.

After April 30, 2014, players who have purchased the game should still be able to access their download.

“Removing a game is never something we like to do, but it is part of the nature of working with retro game franchises,” said Ryan Olsen, PR Manager for MonkeyPaw Games. “For those that have yet to snack on the game, we are offering it at a tasty price before BurgerTime World Tour is taken off the menu.”

BurgerTime World Tour introduced fresh and meaty additions to the re-imagined franchise. BurgerTime featured platforming elements, boss characters and local plus online multiplayer to spice up the classic gaming favorite.
