PlayLogic has today announced a game that has instantly blinked on my radar for the sheer concept alone. Fairytale Fights is the name, and it promises a twisted hack n’ slash adventure as players take on the role of a famous fairytale character and start cutting up bunny rabbits. “Fairytale Fights is a truly twisted hack’n’slash platform adventure where players assume the role of a much-loved fairytale character, whose glory days have long since passed,” explains PlayLogic....

The specifics of this week’s fake game are probably best left to the imagination — for everyone’s sake. Conceptualized byelectro lemon,Rayman Raving Rabbids: the MMOmay very well have been created solely out of a desire to create an acronym resembling the onomatopoeia for starting a decade-old motorcycle. Gaze in wonder at the Photoshop by our very own Fronz and ask yourself: what wouldRRRMMObe about? How would it play? What different character classes would there be?...

Mind the asterisk Less than 24 hours after release,Fallout 4holds one of Steam’s most coveted records. Well, kind of. It holds that record if you don’t count other games that constantly beat outFallout 4and every other game. At the time of writing,Fallout 4has 408,996 players concurrently playing. That’s the most ever for a non-Valve developed game. The previous best was fromGrand Theft Auto Vearlier this year when it amassed around 360,000 people simultaneously playing....

Now we can finally shoot some goddamn guns Alternate endings are a fascinating way to put a non-canonical spin on the tales that we know and love. Sometimes it’s a silly and light-hearted Pentagon piefight. Others are grim, like Dante taking a bullet to the chest on a day when he wasn’t even supposed to be there. Typically, alternate endings are synchronous with the main narrative’s finale, but that’s not the case withFar Cry 4....

InFinal Fantasy XIV, achievement hunting often leads to awfully long grinds. Sometimes, new chores mean I’m committing to the same monotonous routine for months, and sometimes that means I’m queuing up for duties long-abandoned, like the MMO’s MOBA-like PvP mode,Rival Wings. When it comes to achievement hunting, I’m one ofthosepeople. Outside of simply playing games I paid for, one of my favorite RPG chores is the thrill of making dinky little to-do lists....

Tyrion, Cersei, and Margaery make appearances Every time Telltale’sGame of Thronescomes up, the prevailing comments are always the same: “When will we see what it looks like?” The answer to that question is “now,” and the answer to the followup question is, “eh, it looks like a videogame version ofGame of Thrones, I guess.” Admittedly, the lore ofA Song of Ice and Firedoes not really mesh with the cel-shaded style that can be found inThe Walking Dead,The Wolf Among Us, orTales from the Borderlands, but it feels like something is missing here....

At least they’ve still got Anna Torv That direct-to-home-videoHeavenly Swordmovie didn’t inspire much confidence when it was first talked about. This trailer, I’m sorry to say, has done little to change my mind. The CG animated film from Blockade Entertainment is due in spring 2014 worldwide and stars Anna Torv as Nariko, Thomas Jane as Loki, and Alfred Molina as King Bohan. Think I’ll give this a pass and continue holding out whatever hope I can that we’ll eventually geta proper sequel....

‘Drunks are easy prey for pick-pocketing’ Kingdom Come: Deliveranceseems like one of those games you can lose yourself in. It’s an open-world RPG set in medieval Bohemia that’s striving for realism rather than spell-slinging. It’s been in development at Warhorse Studios for years and years, with a£1.1 million Kickstarterback in 2014. It’s ambitious in that potentially cool, potentially rough-around-the-edges sort of way. And, notably, it’s almost finished — the game launches February 13 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One....

[KamikazeTutor is the first of many that will be promoted to the front page forDestructoid’s Monthly Musings. In this “Good Idea, Bad Idea”, Kamikaze looks at destructible environments. — CTZ] This article touches the subject of how destructible environments can create an immersive or frustrating experience and how they can make a game look more realistic and the complete opposite. Technology is capable of simulating amazing things. It’s been a while that computers are used to aid construction of seismic-resistant structures to aerodynamics, all through an immense blur of physics’ reproducing code....

Square Enix’s upcomingNIERlooked to Ben Perlee as being a pretty interesting RPG. Based onhis previewand these screenshots, I’m inclined to agree. It might not be the prettiest game, but I’m interested in the more mature themes and the “word” modifier system is intriguing. The screenshots we’ve been sent came with almost no information about them. In fact, we were even teased that while none of these are going to reveal any new data on the game, at least they’d look pretty on your desktop....

It’s a genuinely interesting use of the tech I can never seem to remember its name, but I certainly recognizethat gameplay.FRUis a Kinect-powered puzzle-platformer in which you control a little character with a gamepadand alsomove around in real life to affect the game world with your body. Crazy enough to work? I think so. To give one example, your silhouette might be water-logged, allowing you to stretch out your arms so your character can swim through them and over a bottomless pit....

Captain Obvious flew overhead just now. He gave me a really bitchy wince from the sky, as if to sayreally?in response to my headline for this article. I threw back a face that combined sternly narrowed eyes and tightened lips as if to say, “fu*k off for today, man.” Nintendo has just passed the 1.5 million units sold with the 3DS in Japan, and they have the recent price drop to thank for that....
