With Tokyo Game Show 2012 set to begin on Thursday, announcements are starting to trickle out from all the major publishers. Tecmo-Koei is one of the first out of the gate, revealing a lineup that includes several new titles for all the major platforms, including Nintendo's upcoming Wii U.
Whatever it is that you wanted Capcom to do for the upcoming Mega Man 25th Anniversary, it seems the one thing you are not going to get is a new Mega Man game.
Yes, it's Monday, but no need to be sad; the Steam Big Picture public beta starts today! Have you ever tried plugging in your computer to your television to play Steam games? Simply put, the user interface (UI) translated to the big screen is lacking. However, the fine folks at Valve have unveiled a new UI which optimizes the Steam display for large television screens. Changes include larger, easier to read text, and "full" controller support, according to Valve.
Got a case of the Mondays? Rockstar Games has you covered, Grand Theft Auto V style. This morning the fine folks at Rockstar unveiled three brand new screenshots for the next installment in their genre-defining Grand Theft Auto series.
Gamescom has brought us a plethora of announcements and news this week, but today it got a little 'ghostlier' as Ubisoft announced the public beta for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online.
Fresh out of Gamescom, SEGA has dropped a brand new Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed trailer on the unsuspecting, ever-grateful public. The game is scheduled for release in North America on November 20th of this year and is, yep, you guessed it, yet another kart racer starring video game mascots.
Do you remember the video game scene in the 90s? Everyone had a Nintendo, SEGA, or Sony, whatever. What any hardcore gamer really wanted was a NEO GEO. Alluring, foreign, ridiculously expensive (starting at $649.99!), there were too many barriers to entry, provided you weren’t the neighbourhood rich kid. It would be pretty rad to go to the arcade (I’ll explain that later) and pump quarters into the Fatal Fury and Baseball Stars machines, among others. Maybe they weren’t the best, most technically sound games, but any video game enthusiast worth his salt looks back fondly on SNK’s fourth-generation offering.
