Injustice: Year Four #2 Review
Injustice: Year Four is allowing the series to get back to basics as far as the ongoing war between Batman and Superman goes, even as it also begins seeding a new conflict involving the Greek gods. But while the first issue offered a solid start for this new volume, the second issue is a bit more rough around the edges.
The problem is mainly in the way the two chapters in this issue are structured. Writer Brian Buccellato bounces between a number of concurrent plot threads - Superman consolidating his power, Batman's faction struggling to maintain their resolve, Harley Quinn "abducting" Billy Batson and Renee Montoya making a one-woman stand against Superman. This issue is less than graceful about navigating those various story threads. The Harley/Billy thread especially stands out from the rest and seems like it would have been better served as a separate, standalone side-story later on, as previous writer Tom Taylor often handled the Harley material. When you're talking about a comic comprised of shorter, digital-first chapters like this, it's more efficient to focus on one conflict at a time, even if it means keeping some characters out of the spotlight for a couple weeks.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will be adding daily, scored runs in an upcoming update.
With daily runs, players gets to take on the same level as everyone else based on a randomly generated seed, then get their score ranked against others in official leaderboards.
Spelunky and Nuclear Throne, similarly challenging games, have the same feature, which designer Edmund McMillen says he's always wanted to bring to The Binding of Isaac.
In the same blog post, McMillen also includes GIFs of some upcoming items, including Dead Eye and Continuum.

Magnetic: Cage Closed Review
“Oh, you have another box. Now you just have to figure out what to do with it.”
Yes, disembodied voice of sociopathic scientist putting me through a series of sadistic test chambers, that pretty much sums up Magnetic: Cage Closed. If you’ve played Portal, you know exactly what this routine is about, and these puzzles and their simple push-and-pull mechanics will likely feel mundane in comparison to those built around the mind-bending Portal Gun. (If you haven’t played Portal, play Portal.) Magnetic apes Valve’s puzzle game without apology, to the point of starring a mute female protagonist who’s immune to fall damage. Worse, it’s without a novel idea to make it stand out as more than a shadow of a great game.

Console and PC Gaming Will Likely Outsell Mobile in 2015
While the mobile gaming market may be booming, its console and PC counterparts are still generating the bulk of the video game industry's revenue.
A recent report form SuperData Research estimates the global gaming market (including both consoles, PC, and mobile) will earn $74.2 billion in 2015. Of that number, mobile is expected to earn $22.3 billion worldwide, while the combined sales of retail games, digital console games, and PC downloadable content adds up to $30.3 billion. This does not include virtual reality, eSports, video content, Free-to-Play MMOs, or subscription-based MMOs.

Assassin's Creed Players Have Spent Over 16,000 Years in Unity
Assassin's Creed Unity players have collectively played Ubisoft's open-world action game for an amount of time that rivals recorded history.
Logging over 16,000 years' worth of game time, an infographic released by Ubisoft notes that this is similar in age to the clay bison from the French Pyrenees, a primitive work of art estimated to also be approximately 16,000 years old.
Additionally, players have collectively assassinated over 4 billion high-profile game characters and killed over 8 billion non-player characters, most likely using the most popular in-game weapons like the Sword of Eden, the Pepper Shot, and The Foil.

IGN Presents the History of Awesome - 1980
Welcome back to IGN's History of Awesome - a year-long look back at all the coolest and most influential games, movies, TV shows, comic books, toys, and tech that have shaped pop culture, and shaped the lives of an entire generation. Up this week is 1980 - the year that Pac-Man fever took over the world, The Empire struck back, and films like Friday the 13th and The Shining terrified moviegoers.
The polarizing Superman II also hit theaters in 1980, but it would be more than two decades before audiences would have the opportunity to see original director Richard Donner's original for the superhero sequel.

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings Coming to Xbox One and PC
Arcade baseball game Super Mega Baseball is headed to Xbox One and PC (via Steam) in the coming months, developer Metalhead Software announced today.
Released last year on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, the goofy baseball sim will come to Xbox One and PC as Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings. This latest version of the game will include two new stadiums, as well as several unspecified new features and improvements, according to a blog post by the developer.
The new content will also make its way to PlayStation owners through an update or free DLC.
Super Mega Baseball will be the third baseball game on Xbox One. Currently, the console's only baseball sims are RBI Baseball 14 and 15 -- neither of which we were particularly impressed with.

Final Fantasy 14's Heavensward Takes the MMO to New Heights
It’s been a little under two years since the failed MMO Final Fantasy XIV was closed down before being relaunched as A Realm Reborn, and what a two years they’ve been. Under the watchful eye of director Naoki Yoshida, Final Fantasy XIV has gone from being an unsightly blemish on the books of Square Enix to one of the most profitable parts of its portfolio, currently bringing in over 4 million paying subscribers and set to imminently receive its first expansion. From what I’ve been able to experience of Heavensward, this is a trend that’s set to continue.

"Sales of the third part will be many times higher than with our earlier games. Preorders indicate this," he said. "We broke into the mainstream. It is such a moment in our firm's history that after some years people will look differently at CD Projekt before and after this release.

Batman: Arkham Knight Gets Yet Another Pre-Order Bonus
Warner Bros. has revealed another pre-order bonus for the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight.
The Gotham's Future pre-order bonus was spotted on Steam and comes with two skins - Batman Beyond from the animated series, and Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns.
While it's currently unclear if this is a Steam exclusive or we'll see it on consoles, it's the latest move in a fairly controversial run with regards to Arkham Knight's DLCs and bonuses. Alongside the previously revealed Harley Quinn pre-order bonus, an expensive Season Pass and the option to play as Batgirl, it looks like it's going to be pretty difficult to pick up the definitive version of the game for a reasonable price. At least until the inevitable Game of the Year edition is released.

Will the Need for Speed Reboot Capture the Original Essence of the Series?
Last week EA revealed its 2015 Need for Speed game, and it’s just called Need for Speed. No colon, no cute subtitle. Pitched as a “full reboot”, EA promises Need for Speed will draw on what it considers the core pillars of the series: “deep customisation, authentic urban car culture, a nocturnal open world, and an immersive narrative that pulls you through the game.” Ghost Games, in its words, is seeking to go back to the roots of Need for Speed.
Thing is, I’m not sure I necessarily agree these are, in fact, the roots of the Need for Speed series. They’re certainly part of the franchise’s identity now, but it’s worth remembering Need for Speed certainly wasn’t always about “nocturnal open worlds”, “immersive narratives,” or urban anything. This kind of content was introduced in the fun and very successful Need for Speed Underground, itself somewhat of a reboot for the Need for Speed series.

Telltale's Game of Thrones: Episode 4 Review
This action-heavy episode does a great job of breaking Telltale’s Game of Thrones out of its various rutts. Though Mira’s time in Kings Landing is shorter than usual, everyone else picks up the slack as we see Gared finally embark on his journey north, Rodrik break the cycle of abuse by the Whitehills, and Asher work to gain the favor of Daenerys Targaryen.
Sons of Winter opens with Gared in custody and facing severe punishment after having killed Britt, the former Bolton soldier who’d murdered his family, at the end of Episode 3. I was annoyed that there’s no way to convince the Night’s Watch that Gared had acted in self defense, even with an eye witness corroborating his story (I tried this a few times). Naturally this is the kind of forced outcome we’re all used to in Telltale’s games, but in this case the writers seemed to go out of their way to make it feel implausible. Those events are a means to a good end, though, as they lead to Gared setting out to find the North Grove. Running across a pack of Wildlings creates one of several good action scenes in this episode. (Slight spoiler: though there’s a White Walker in the title screen image for this episode, none actually appear. That’s a bit of a tease.)

Evolve's New Free DLC is Out Now
Today, 2K has announced that Evolve is getting a new mode called Arena, and it’s live right now as you’re reading this.
In this new mode, a stage 2 monster squares off against a full team of four hunters to the death in a best of three series played within enclosed arenas. Each of Evolve’s 14 maps will host five such arenas each for a total of 70 possible battlegrounds.
This is significant for players who don’t like having to track the monster in order to fight them, as they now have a way to get straight into an engagement without any of the build up. Perhaps best of all, Evolve’s new Arena mode is completely free.

The Witcher Was Nearly A Diablo-Inspired Top-Down ARPG
The Witcher developer CD Projekt RED originally pitched the popular RPG as a top-down, Diablo-esque action role-playing game.
In a recent video, former project lead Ryszard Chojnowski offered insight into the "humble beginnings" of the RPG series, revealing that the 2002 demo -- inspired by Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and built using the same engine that powered 1999's Mortyr -- had little progression, only one Witcher sign, and hadn't even placed Geralt as the leading character, a decision that the developer thought kept in line with the novels..
A year later, the demo version was dropped, and the studio began the four-year campaign to develop The Witcher as we know it today.

Bioshocks Lead Designer Reveals New Horror Game
There's something strange about the estate on Echo Bluff.
After months of seeing the place in haunting visions, Cassie has finally found the real thing, overlooking the ocean in Gloucester, Massachusetts. And now, she's taking the chance to explore it, despite the fact that she's blind.
So goes the description for Perception, the Kickstarter project from Deep End Games. The studio is composed almost entirely of developers who worked on Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite, including Bill Gardner, Deep End's founder. He was design director on Bioshock, and lead designer on Infinite, both of which garnered critical praise in their own right for their first-person storytelling. With Perception, though, Gardner wants to change how horror games are played.

Ninja Theory builds a better lightsaber.
No disrespect to Mickey or Woody or Elsa, but I’ve always only ever really had two questions for the team beyond Disney’s toys-to-life game, Infinity. First, where’s Spiderman? And second, where’s Luke Skywalker? After last year’s rollout of Marvel in Infinity’s 2.0 launch, it seemed a sure bet that Star Wars wouldn’t be far behind. Disney finally revealed that Star Wars is coming this fall in a three-part rollout.
The first piece is called Twilight of the Empire, and it focuses on the prequel trilogy and The Clone Wars cartoon. (Information on the other two parts – Rise of the Empire and The Force Awakens – has not yet been released.) The core of the story involves leading the Republic forces in a battle against the Separatists.

Hearthstone Pros on the State of the Game
Hearthstone has changed a great deal since it was officially launched more than a year ago. In that time we've seen two adventures released - Curse of Naxxramas and Blackrock Mountain - both of which introduced 30 new cards to the game alongside PVE content. We've also seen one expansion - Goblins vs Gnomes - which dramatically expanded the card set, adding more than 120 new cards.
While Hearthstone's meta game is in a constant state of flux, the dust is definitely settling on the new cards introduced in Blackrock Mountain, so I thought it might be fun to take the pulse of the pro/streamer scene. What are the top players and personalities into right now? What's their take on how the game has changed? How would they like it to change?

Get Your Grapple On in Grand Theft Auto 5 PC
If you felt GTA V would be improved by the addition of the grappling hook mechanic from Just Cause 2, then you're in luck. A modder has added the hook to the PC version of the game and the results are about as awesome as you'd expect them to be.
The first shot fires the hook at a target and the second shot attaches the end to whatever's clever, meaning all those smack-talking pedestrians who populate Los Santos can now be hooked to passing traffic and dragged off into the sunset.
It can also be used to move around rapidly, as is the case in Just Cause 2, pulling your character from one place to the other. The lack of infinitely deployable parachutes means the mod isn't 100% on par with the preferred method of movement in Just Cause 2.

Gauntlet Is Getting a Free, Massive Update
Gauntlet developer Arrowhead Game Studios has announced it will be releasing a major update for its dungeon-crawling PC action game, and it will be completely free of charge.
"We have big improvements and a few new features coming up for Gauntlet! Something which we know a lot of you were crying out for," Arrowhead's Emil Englund explained in a post the studio's official site.
"In truth, we were never fully satisfied with how Gauntlet turned out," Englund continued. "So, rather than just fixing little things here and there, we have been working on the core of the game to turn it into what we originally envisioned."

Latest Patch for The Witcher 3 Improves PC Visuals
CD Projekt RED has just released a new patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, providing a number of technical fixes as well as a few noteworthy visual improvements to the PC version of its critically-acclaimed action-RPG.
On the graphical front, Patch 1.04 boosts the texture rendering quality for those running the game on high or ultra.

10 of the Greatest MMO Raid Bosses of All Time
Nothing defines "massively multiplayer" quite like raids. Other genres may tell better stories or make it more fun to smash things with big hammers, but when it comes to bringing together dozens of players and letting them invent and coordinate complex strategies to defeat huge bosses, the MMORPG remains the top of the pile. Not all raids are created equal, however, so we decided to make a list of some of the greatest raid bosses of all time.
One drawback of the MMORPG genre is that it's impossible to experience the vast majority of the bosses listed here in their original states. Expansions bring new level caps, and the godly challenges of yesteryear become soloable by the sorriest player. Games shut down, key abilities for strategies get removed or rebalanced, and interest in old content wanes. But in their heyday, each of the 10 bosses chronicled below was something to behold (and fear).

And after a couple of other Carmageddon games not done by the original development team at Stainless Studios, the founding creators now have the rights to the IP back. They Kickstarted Carmageddon: Reincarnation in 2012, and the game is now finished and released on Steam for PC.

Blade & Soul: Where Crouching Tiger and MMOs Intersect
Considering it launched in Korea back in June 2012, Blade & Soul has certainly taken its time to come West. Now with a closed beta planned for autumn and full launch finally locked in before the end of the year, the long wait is finally coming to an end. According to NCSoft, the reason behind such a delay is because the MMO’s story, which fully incorporates the Chinese genre of “Wuxia”, needed time to be localised. Having actually had a chance to play bits of the game myself, however, I’m not convinced the wait didn’t do more harm than good.
I’m getting ahead of myself. Blade & Soul is a free-to-play MMO originating in Korea, with a story and setting reminiscent of films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero or House of Flying Daggers. It aims to differentiate itself from most other MMOs through both this setting, and zones designed with verticality in mind, which you traverse like a true kung fu master by running up walls, running along branches and gliding through the skies using the power of your chi. While the aesthetic makes a nice superficial change, it’s the foundational differences offered by the design mentality that make the biggest impact. While so many MMOs can feel like the same game with different skills, the freedom given to explore zones however you want feels fresh… at least at first. After a couple of hours however, it unfortunately just felt that instead of exploring zones horizontally I also had another axis to slog across when making my way back to quest-givers, rather than the fresh gameplay experience I was promised.

Among other tidbits of information, Yoshida revealed the Fat Chocobo mount will be able to fly and the zones in the videos appear to be between 2-4 times bigger than those currently in 2.0. Additionally, it's been revealed monsters are tuned to be more difficult than they were in the original game to really push players.

Sunset Review
The act of housekeeping sounds like a curiously mundane fit for a video game, but in its latest game Sunset, developer Tale of Tales has turned it into a welcome constant in a world of chaos. Sunset is a meditative and unnerving experience, and one I won’t forget quickly.
As Angela, a university graduate from Baltimore, Sunset tasks you with completing dull chores in a single penthouse over a series of days. I found these repetitive - the intricacies of the chores are boiled down to the click of a button - but as I quickly learned, that’s the point. The less I cared about folding clothes, the more I cared about the world around me.
Sunset is set in a fictional South American city at the beginning of the 1970s. There’s a loud revolution going on outside its floor-to-ceiling windows, yet Angela is cocooned in her wealthy trappings, and sirens and gunfire are only ever heard from a distance. Being so removed from the action encourages a sense of isolation and helplessness, echoed in Angela’s own inner monologues.

VR Zombie Game Announced for SteamVR
Vertigo Games has announced Arizona Sunshine, a shooter built from the ground up for VR.
In Arizona Sunshine, players will fight for survival both against the zombie horde and the blistering heat of a post-apocalyptic Arizona.
Arizona Sunshine uses the SteamVR-powered HTC Vive, making use of its motion controllers to enhance the realism of fighting the zombie horde. You'll have to manage weapons and consumables while fighting zombies that feel "close enough to touch."
It's built in bite-sized chunks, so you can stay in the zombie-smashing ride from start to finish or jump in for just a few minutes (a good option if VR makes you dizzy easily).
Arizona Sunshine is on Steam, where its release date has been given only as sometime this year.

Riot Games launched the test phase of its new "instant feedback system" for League of Legends today in North America.
The system offers a way for League of Legends to automatically punish reported players after processing complaints sent by teammates or opponents.
It works like this: after a player is reported, the system undergoes a validation process to make sure the case is legitimate. Once it decides that it is, the system determines what kind of punishment is necessary for the offense.
Then, it emails that player a "reform card," which informs the player of their punishment and provides the chat logs evidencing the negative behavior in question. This is all meant to happen within a 15 minute window at the end of a game.

"It's been going from studio to studio, and creatives were creative, but there wasn’t really a strategic way of thinking of what the brand is and what it stands for," he tells me. “For sure, it’s been delivering great experiences, but not experiences that can build on top of each other to become better and better necessarily.
“If you look at the last few games – Hot Pursuit, The Run, Shift, Rivals, Most Wanted – and you asked people, ‘What does Need for Speed stand for?’, you'd get a million different answers.

Opinion: The Witcher 3's Card Game is Better Than Hearthstone
I have a bold statement to make:
Gwent is a better card game than Hearthstone.
Ok, I know what you’re thinking: What the hell is a Gwent, and are you nuts?
Let’s answer the first question first. Gwent is the collectible card game played throughout the northern realms in The Witcher 3. While Geralt is running about slaying monsters and searching for his long lost adopted daughter, he’s also playing everyone he can in the Nilfgardian equivalent of Magic the Gathering, spending as much money (or more) on beefing up his deck as he does on food and drink. Who knew Geralt was a card flopper?

Battlefield: Hardline Criminal Activity DLC Detailed
"There’s been a recent uptick in reports in the local precincts – a rash of violent crime that is seemingly connected somehow..."
So begins the recent posting on Battlefield.com regarding the upcoming Battlefield: Hardline Criminal Activity DLC pack. The page gives us details on the new maps, weapon offerings, and even a storyline to tie it all together.
Apparently "small crews of well-trained, aggressive criminals have been using force of arms to terrorize the citizenry," the posting reads. There's evidence of a "secret crime ring that could be behind all of this activity." As you might guess, police have been given orders to put a stop to the mayhem.
