I am hugely looking forward toResistance: Burning Skies. I’m eager to see just how good a first-person shooter feels on the PlayStation Vita, andResistanceis a good a series as any to take the first step. The above trailer showcases the game’s multiplayer mode, which appears to cram in all the bells and whistles from its console brethren. It boasts three modes, six maps, and will support eight players in total, which ain’t too shabby....

Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman mentioned The Wii U simply wasn’t a priority for Telltale last generation. It likely had less to do about the processing power and more about the installbase, but either way, very few projects actually made it onto the platform. Yet, with the Switch poised to potentially overcome the Wii U in just a year — yeah, Telltale is all about that. Speaking to Rocket Beans TV at Gamescom, Telltale creative communications lead Job Stauffer explained that the company “loves” the Switch, and that in addition toMinecraft: Story Mode, which was released recently on the system, that more are in the pipeline....

Or, keep it for yourself [Update:It seems as though you can only get a giftable code if you already ownWitcher 3on GOG along with another platform. Otherwise, if you only own it on a different platform, the game is just tied to your GOG account. Still, freeWitcher 3!] Remember Ice Breakers mints, with their two-lidded packaging reading “To Share” and “Not to Share?” The sharing side is small as if to ask “Why would you ever be dumb enough to share these delicious mints?...

‘We want to be able to provide games to people who are playing on these consoles.’ We’re finally starting to see games being developed with just the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (and PC) in mind such asEvolve,Assassin’s Creed Unity, and more.
