Pokémon TCG Pocket isn’t all about fast-paced battles against opponents, and there are plenty of reasons to focus on building your collection. One is the Themed Collections, which provide rewards once completed, and we’ve got them all. Themed Collections in Pokémon TCG Pocket are essentially mini-collection objectives to work towards, each with a unique theme like collecting a particular evolution line or gathering specific pieces of artwork—and you can use the rewards to land some unique items.

Alice Bee (RPS in peace) wrote about platformer System Purge a while back, saying it starred a witch with a nice hop. So I tried out the demo for its sequel, System Purge: Hollow Point, and can confirm that the witch still has a nice hop. I'm thankful for this, because if the witch did not have a nice hop, the game would be maddening in a bad way. Don't get me wrong, it's still maddening. Just in a good way. The hop is good.

The Ukranian will replace Alvaro “SunPayus” Garcia in the AWP role. S1mple needs no introduction, as he is widely regarded as the best Counter-Strike player of all time. The 26-year-old had an upsetting end to Global Offensive and announced he would take an extended break from professional play. View the full article
In the grim darkness of the far future you will no longer get quite so violently annoyed with your Spiced Margerine battle-bros Chairon and Gadriel, because they will actually finish off flickering, near-***** Tyranids rather than waiting for you to clean up. Sometimes when I'm playing Space Marine 2's campaign, I feel like I'm trying to direct untrained child actors from the orchestra pit. No, don't look at me, Gadriel - look at the Tyranid. He can only act concussed for so long. Hit him with your chainsword now, there's a dear. Read more View the full article
There are a ton of both puzzle and overhead JRPG games on the market, but there's really nothing that combines those genres together. We have seen games like Henry Hatsworth on the DS combine platforming and puzzle games, while Monster Tale blended platforming, puzzle gameplay and monster collecting, but nothing that used a JRPG visual profile. Flowstone Saga is a remarkable experience in that it nicely combines both genres. View the full article
Blizzard is reportedly making a third attempt at developing a StarCraft shooter, with former Far Cry executive producer Dan Hay, who joined Blizzard in 2022, leading the charge. Hot on the heels of Microsoft’s announcement that StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection hit the Game Pass subscription service in November, it has emerged that Blizzard is also working on a StarCraft shooter. Word comes from Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier while speaking to IGN’s Podcast Unlocked, below, about his new book, PLAY NICE: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment. Hay’s StarCraft shooter is mentioned in the book, and IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey asked Schreier if it’s likely to actually come out. “If it’s not canceled!” Schreier replied. “This is Blizzard after all. Their history with StarCraft shooters is not good. “Yes, that is a project that as far as I know is in development, or at least as of the time that I wrote this book was in development. They are working on a StarCraft shooter, StarCraft is not ***** at Blizzard. “The goal of the book isn’t to get a bunch of scoops about upcoming things. That wasn’t the purpose of this book at all, it was very much to tell a story and focus on stuff that had happened. But this felt like such an interesting and useful nugget to include because it really just shows you that Blizzard cannot quit StarCraft shooters.” That’s a reference to Blizzard’s infamous attempt to release a StarCraft shooter in the past as part of a bid to expand the StarCraft franchise beyond its real-time strategy origins. StarCraft Ghost, announced in 2002, was going to be a tactical-action console game in which you played as a deadly Ghost operative in the employ of the Dominion, but it was canceled in 2006 after a series of delays. A second attempt to make a StarCraft shooter, codenamed Ares, was canceled in 2019 so Blizzard could focus on Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2. Ares was reportedly “like Battlefield in the StarCraft universe,” but, like Ghost, fell by the wayside. Now, it’s a case of third time lucky for Blizzard, with this new StarCraft shooter in development. We don’t have any details at this time, but perhaps Phil Spencer’s StarCraft t-shirt he wore during Microsoft’s Tokyo Game Show 2024 broadcast was more than a simple reference to StarCraft hitting Game Pass. As for Hay, he joined Ubisoft in 2011 to work on Far Cry 3, then became executive producer for the Far Cry brand, shipping Far Cry Blood Dragon, Far Cry 4 , and Far Cry Primal. Hay was creative director and executive producer on Far Cry 5, and executive director for Far Cry New Dawn and Far Cry 6, before joining Blizzard in 2022 as GM/VP.

Fntastic, the now notorious developer behind controversial shooter The Day Before, is trying to make a comeback less than a year after that games servers were shut down amid ridicule and outrage.

What exact percentage of unacknowledged irony is it when a digital game wants to sing the praises of paper-based art in the context of a story about fighting off a "blight" of digital creatures? If you were serious about that moral, Hirogami, you'd actually be printed on hammered-down treemulch. I decry thee, pretender! You're one of the very electronic critters you want me to battle. On the other hand, you do let me transform into an origami armadillo which can roll around like a pinball. Here's the announcement trailer. Read more View the full article
Team Spirit figured it was time to give two players from its academy roster, Yellow Submarine, a taste of the tier-one scene. The two-time TI-winning organization welcomed Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov and Aleksandr “rue” Filin to the main squad on Sept. 26. All good things come to an end. After leaving a mark in Dota 2 history as one of the most successful rosters ever, Team Spirit’s roster was bound to undergo massive changes when Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk (now Raddan) and Myroslav “Mira” Kolpakov took a break from professional play due to exhaustion from the packed schedules.
