It's a shame we didn't get a proper sequel to Mania. Still, at least we're getting a spiritual successor that hopefully lives up to its predecessor. And I'm excited to see what Evening Star does with an original property.

Then the new game sits in your library unplayed until it becomes an old game and the cycle continues.
It feels weird to be watching this conference in such high quality. I had forgotten just how many memes this conference spawned, but I do miss that awkwardness a lot of the mid-2000s E3 presentations had. They weren't just a guy in a suit talking about sales figures anymore, but they were still a long way from the more polished showcases we have today.
Yeah, digitally carding people when they want to play a game seems like a terrible idea.
I've been playing Doom 2 and getting into Doom mods. I saw a video about the Ashes 2063 mod and decided to try it out. It's a post-apocalyptic mod inspired by series like Fallout, Stalker, and Metro. I've seen a lot of mixed reactions about it online, but I'm really enjoying it so far, especially the second episode. It's almost like a Bethesda-style Fallout game built in Doom with little side quests and hub areas to explore in between the shooting. I keep having to remind myself that it's a free Doom mod and not an indie throwback shooter built from the ground up.
Well. This certainly has me reconsidering buying any Ubisoft games. I get that we just license all our entertainment now when we purchase it legally, but most companies are smart enough to not remind you of that fact and how easily they could cut you off from everything you've bought.
Oh man, I played so much of this game growing up. Yeah, a lot of the flak it gets for repetitive gameplay, poor controls, and edginess is somewhat justified. At the same time, I feel like this was perfectly aimed at mid-2000s kids who wanted a more "mature" and "adult" Sonic game without really understanding what that meant.
Always great to see an in-depth character creator. Can't wait to spend hours tweaking my character to get them just right instead of actually playing the game.
Well, the opening is good. I always enjoy the animations Sega puts in their more "classic" inspired games. Hopefully, the rest of the game is as good.
Maybe? There are a lot of them and the quality varies depending on the book. You can't go wrong with the original Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and Last Command were considered the unofficial sequel trilogy by some fans and they started off the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe, which got rebranded to the Legends continuity when Disney took over. Besides the Thrawn Trilogy, I'd also recommend the Revenge of the Sith novelization. I went in not expecting much, but it really expands on a lot of things the movie brushes over, and witnessing Anakin's story from his viewpoint was a lot more compelling than what we got in the movie. From there, it really depends on what you want to read about.
The Star Wars book finder is a neat tool that lets you search by author, topic, or genre if you're looking for something specific.
I mean it's an interesting idea, but I just don't see how this doesn't end with people voting for the worst possible options just for "fun".
You better get some good pre-order bonuses for that kind of wait.
