Spiders Studio CEO and creative director Jeanne Rousseau explains the story: “You’ll meet Zachariah, a rookie Technomancer from Abundance, one of the powerful corporations on the red planet....

With a new subscription service being touted every five minutes and Netflix preparing to defend its reign against Disney+, physical video sales are still chugging along in the background – a low hum within the howl of a streaming tornado. A report from the Entertainment Retailers Association this week confirmed that video sales grew by 6.4% in the first half of 2019 to £1.07bn in the UK, with DVD and Blu-ray sales steadily declining, and certainly comparing unfavourably to the 18% (£130m) growth of digital expenditure....

Streets of Rage 4 is available today on Android and iOS devices, so you can now thump people with added portability. The game came out in 2020, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It was really good, as well. In VideoGamer’s review of the game, I said: “The game, like its forebears, is best squeezed into a stolen afternoon, taken out tactically when one’s spirits begin to droop....

Some new Super Mario Odyssey mods bring classic Nintendo levels to the Switch hit. These levels come from a modder named ItzSka who has been posting videos of his work on YouTube. He’s added levels to the game from titles like Banjo-Kazooie, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and more. So far, many of the levels added seem to retain the basic visual style and design principles of the ones they are based on....

One of the most important parts of a story is the ending: the capstone of everything that’s happened so far. In video games, the culmination of everything you’ve spent hours exploring, grinding, and fighting powerful enemies to achieve. As games have advanced, multiple endings have become popular, from binary “good” and “evil” endings to multiple possible outcomes based on the player’s choices. But just as common are non-canonical alternate endings, surprise shortcuts, and secret endings that make it look like you’ve found a shortcut to beating the game and usually come complete with the end credits....

Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs is composed of more than 40 interviews with Jobs himself and more than 100 family members, friends, competitors, and colleagues who knew him well. Zero to One focuses on the idea that startups shouldn’t reimagine existing ideas, but instead should look to innovate and bring something new to the market. Billion Dollar Loser takes a look at former WeWork CEO, Adam Neumann, who straddled the line between rockstar and con artist, gallivanting around the world in private jets instead of running his business....

In the Pokémon series, breeding has been a hugely important mechanic since it was introduced in Generation II. Not only did this feature bring us adorable (and some awful-looking) baby Pokémon, it also gave players a way to create perfect battle-ready Pokémon, a process that is still being refined and gradually becoming more user-friendly as the series goes on. One of the keys to breeding (besides having an army of Ditto committed the job) is an understanding of Egg Groups....

Metroidvania is a beloved and classic genre of games. The 2D adventure platformer has been a staple of the gaming industry since it began, with titles like Pitfall helping to define the way the action worked. The Metroidvania genre developed out of this concept, putting more emphasis on defeating enemies and solving puzzles and less on simply being able to run and jump. The games also reward you with power-ups for your character and a more-or-less satisfying story....

Generally speaking, if a computer program has a glitch, the consequences can be disastrous. As a failure or flaw in a computer’s system, a glitch, even a very small one, can lead to something catastrophic, and we don’t mean having to rewrite a school project. Minor programming errors and flaws have destroyed costly rockets intended for space exploration (look up the European Space Agency’s Ariane 5 rocket), destroyed financial companies (Knight Capital lost 75% of its value after a problem with trading software), and of course, glitches can kill people....

Let’s take a look at what season five might involve…...

A new Crash Bandicoot game is coming, but it seems to be an endless runner for mobile devices (via Eurogamer). An endless runner for Crash Bandicoot… works. It may disappoint those who were holding out for the rumoured “Crash Bandicoot Worlds”, but Activision CEO Bobby Kotick did reveal intentions to “tap into [its] portfolio of beloved IP to bring several remastered and reimagined experiences to players in 2020.” So, it’s not out of the race, but we might be waiting a little longer for a whole new adventure with Crash....
