Evolve is making advances toward infinite replayability

Staging up! Evolve, the asymmetrical four-versus-one multiplayer game from Turtle Rock Studios, is built around the titular premise of growing, becoming stronger, (dare I say it?)evolving. In game, this is called “staging up.” As the monster grows, it becomes more and more of a hulking behemoth potentially capable of complete domination. Every time we get our hands onEvolve, it’s a little clearer that this is an apt metaphor for predicting its chances of success....

Fantastic Four’s trailer deserves better than this AI slop poster

The trailer forThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsstarring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby is finally out, and it looks pretty neat. Unfortunately, however, Disney decided to pair that cool Nostalgia trip to Marvel’s golden age with this poster: Catch anything strange? Upon first glance, the poster’s only fault is the blandness permeating its every pixel. If you go all CSI on it, though, you’ll find a bigger issue. As pointed out by Wayne Talbot on Bluesky, this weak sauce poster was actually the work of what tech bros call a highly advanced AI....

Fray hits alpha and gets a new trailer

Projects likeFrayare part of why I’m so excited to finally own a gaming PC. (I know the game isn’t breaking new ground, visually, but my laptop runs on the blood, sweat, and tears of a finely tuned team of mice.) The strategy genre and myriad splinter-genres played a sizable role in my choice to build a PC and I can’t wait to dive in headfirst. Fray, specifically, looks like an evolution ofFrozen Synapse‘s design: You control a team of four class-based combatants who each level up and unlock new gear....

Free App of the Day: BioFrenzy

Man, we’ve had a stupid amount of mobile news today. This is why I rode the wave early, kids. This stuff’s just going to keep growing. Especially if we keep getting cool freebies likeBioFrenzy, which Dtoid reader “thebza” discovered! BioFrenzyis yet another zombie game, but it’s a damn good one. Taking the form of a sidescroller, it’s a rather action packed shooter with some terrifically designed cartoon graphics. There’s plenty of character progression to be had, and I think you’ll enjoy it quite a bit....

Hammerin’ Harry for NES shows the lethal competition of the carpentry world

I have really been looking forward to Retro-Bit’s NES reissue of 1991’sHammerin’ Harry. However, in retrospect, this is partially due to me getting it confused withDon Doko Don, a 1989 arcade game in Taito’s single-screen format. If I knew what I was thinking about, I’d be even more excited. Hammerin’ Harryis a port of Irem’s 1990 arcade game, which was calledDaiku no Gen-san: Beranme-chō Sōdōkiin Japan. While Irem is perhaps best remembered for theirR-Typeseries, their back catalog is built from an extremely colorful mix of titles on both arcade and consoles....
