So we finally get an English trailer for the new Phoenix Wright game, subtitled Dual Destinies. The mood matrix that your new sidekick uses looks pretty cool, exploring another aspect of being able psychologically break down the criminal mind. And who says video games don’t teach you anything?

Pach-Attack! 1) Xbox Reveal So Close to E3 The talk around the internet, at least what I’ve seen, is that the announcements of the PS4 and the Nextbox was due to E3′s dwindling relevance. While that might still be a factor, I can see it now as the opposite. There are no rules about the …

The great thing about working on a game as a small team, is that there is lot less people to sift through to implement funny little Easter eggs. Those features that started off as fan rumors, I can tell you right now they probably started with “hey I just heard this rumor about our game. …

I may have to apologize to the parents I’ve berated in previous posts about In-App purchases even though I do stand by what I’ve said when it comes to sharing passwords. But maybe I was wrong to believe the children are the reason In-Apps purchases have been so successful as of late. It’s not their …

So remember that E3 fighting game? The one where you play as monster Reggie-Film Aime? Well, the team behind it has released a very early version of the game to the public. Expo Fighter, at the moment only gives you two character, but since one of them is Reggie you’ll hear no complaints from me.

Thought I’d forget about Mother’s Day? Never. I imagine this is what it would be like for more game designers to explain what they do. I’m not even sure my mom knows what I’m trying to do, but the good thing about mothers. They always got your back.

I think Penny Arcade said this best when they said that Cory Jones is the devil for coming up with ideas that absorb the souls of enthusiastic gamers. Seriously, as a fan of trading card games this game, Hex, takes the best parts of the genre and kicks it up a million notches. Double backs, …

This. Game. Looks. Awesome. Growing up, I loved both Spider-Man 2 (precisely for it’s open-ended web swinging) and the Tony Hawk games. Combining the two seems natural and I’m actually really surprise it took until now for anyone do anything like that. If you need convincing for how awesome this game could be, go play …

Minecraft is a kind of intimidating game. There’s so much to learn that if this game was released before the internet, it would need a whole book to just explain how to do everything in the game. But, since it didn’t it is really easy to go from Minecraft novice to Minecraft master.

The Comics vs. Games 2 Showcase at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival has a lot of great art to show off. There’s some really great and stylized art all while feeling very indie (which also makes it very cool.) I’m going to post some of my favorites but be sure to check out the whole …

It’s my birthday today and I guess to honor it DYKGaming put out a part 3 of their Did You Know Gaming for Super Smash Bros. It’s pretty fascinating about how many little changes a game can go through. I wonder how different some of those stages would be if those changes were left in. …

If I had any talent at building crafts like this, then you know this would be my fire breathing security system (just add a tripwire). Actually, that’s probably illegal…but it’s still cool to have.

Doodlebender is hosting an auction of art of the original 151 Pokemon, each done by a different artist. That means that each piece ranges from being cute, to weird, to awesome, to a little scary. The best part is, the proceeds of the auction all go to Canines for Disabled Kids, which I support 649%. …

Martin Leung is at it again with this also performance of the Castle from Super Mario World. You ever have one of those tunes that isn’t all that scary or frightening but terrifies you because you heard it when you were a kid. This song is that for me. Marint’s performance eerily replicates the sounds …
