It’s decidedly aimed at a younger audience but some of the arcs are worth following and there’s plenty of tasteful old school references tucked away in there without getting too cloying. It doesn’t seem to be a big hit for Cartoon Network though, which may or may not have a lot to do with how the network is deciding to air it....

Jumping in videogames is destined to be an eternal struggle. Whether it’sTimeSplittersorBionic Commando, someone, somewhere, is going to get pissed off. I can’t recall if there was a specific outcry forRearmed 2, which happens to feature jumping, but if there was, here’s a bit of pleasant news. As reported by MTV Multiplayer, the game’s Retro difficulty completely disables Spencer’s ability to hop. So, for those who want the extra challenge (Crazy, all of you!...

The publisher is thanked again for saving Bayonetta 2 Platinum Games producer JP Kellams recently spoke at UCF’s Center for Emerging Media, and reminded fans yet again that if it wasn’t for Nintendo,Bayonetta 2would not have existed. Kellams outright states, “Without getting into some stuff that is both business and confidential, the simple question I’d like to ask you is, ‘Do you want to playBayonetta 2?’Bayonetta 2would not exist without Nintendo white knighting that project....

You’re a member of a biohazard waste removal and clean-up crew at a NASA facility that’s gone into lockdown with you stuck inside. Cue a blurry creature running around in the background Quadrantis planned for release in August and it’s in development at HKFiftyOne Games, whose prior releases includeCold FusionandImbalance, the sorts of free PC horror games that YouTube personalities like to record themselves playing....

It’s a me, your Mario maker An alleged picture from Nintendo’s E3 2014 showfloor was leaked, showing a station displaying something calledMario Maker. The image comes by way ofNintendo Enthusiast, and we won’t know for sure what this is, or what platform it’s aimed at until E3 come next week. So until then we can only make guesses because we’re a blog. Best guess is that you’re making your very ownSuper Mario Bros....

Shawn Fanning, the egghead behind the P2P program that struck fear into the hearts of the RIAA way back in the halcyon early 90s,Napster,has decidedthatWorld of Warcraftneeds an online social networking site, somewhat similar toMySpace,Orkut, or any of the other 12 sites that no one cares about anymore. His project is called‘Rupture’and the idea for such a site “stemmed from Fanning’s own troubles with communicating with otherWorld of Warcraftplayers.”. Apparently, he was having issues hooking up with that sexy night elf he met that long ago night in Kalimdor, and he wanted to make sure that no one else ever encountered that kind of heartbreak....

Might as well quit your job as a farmer and do this instead Peripheral maker Mad Catz andFarming Simulatordeveloper Giants Software are working on a range ofSaitek-brandedhardware for the PC simulation game we can’t seem to stop talking about. The controller, which is planned for release this holiday season (price TBA), will work withFarming Simulator 2013,2015, and future installments. I feel like a spy looking at this silly image.
