There's a special kind of good Pixels needed to be and wasn't. It was, thematically, a Ghostbusters rip-off. Fine. It was shamelessly nostalgic and sentimental. Great. It was so embarrassingly high-concept that no adult could justify seeing it without coming up with a rock-solid irony/police bloodhound evasion defense. That's all immaterial. It didn't need to be that kind of good. What it needed to be was good for nine year olds in the middle of the afternoon in the burning tail end of July.

SegmentNext - When a game is in there for the long run, developers keep looking out for new ways to keep things interesting. For Destiny, it appears, that birthday rewards could be one of those things as the community is pitching the idea itself.

There's rarely been as much optimism surrounding the release of the latest Fifa title as there has been around Fifa 16. When the game was first revealed, EA also proudly announced the inclusion of women's football for the very first time. Female athletes are seldom seen in sports games outside of those tied to the Olympic Games, so the announcement represented a huge step forward. The recent Fifa Women's World Cup, which took place in Canada in June and July of this year, was considered a huge success and not just for the England, who were placed third. The event itself did much to help raise the profile of the women's game, which continues to grow in stature and earn rightful respect worldwide. At Gamescom 2015 in Cologne, Germany, IBTimes UK sat down with the series' senior producer, Nick Channon. We talked to him about the inclusion of the women's game, what it's like to be in a constant state of motion developing a now-annual game and the influence of rival series Pro Ev...

Gamerant With Capcom largely abandoning the survival-horror genre and taking the Resident Evil games down a more action-oriented route, frustrated fans have taken matters into their own hands. This has come in the form of a fan made Resident Evil 2 remaster project, which made big waves a couple of weeks ago. As long as Capcom includes these features, then the Resident Evil 2 remake should be a success, and restore Resident Evil to its former glory.

Is there any product youd buy at full price if you knew it was missing components, was likely to break, or flagrantly failed to live up to its advertising claims? For example, would you buy a case of beer with two bottles missing if you were promised theyd be delivered to your door at a loosely specified date in the future? Or, would you buy a car that missing turn signals as long as the dealer promised to install them within 90 days? What about paying full-price for half of an e-book upfront, with more chapters released sometime?

While presenting the latest Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain demo at the IGN booth at Gamescom 2015, Sean Eyestone (which is introduced as "Sean from Kojima Productions") wore a shirt saying "Kojima Productions" and with its usual logo on it. This is pretty weird, considering the rumours that have been circulating about the studio's disbandment. Let me also remind you that the E3 40 minutes gameplay footage also ended with Snake wearing the "Kojima Productions" logo. What does this mean? Will we see Kojima Production's logo back on the final box art of the game when it launches? I really hope so. In the video below you can see the interview, along with some footage of the playable demo at Gamescom, in Germany.

When Games for Windows Live support was removed from Dark Souls last year, I rejoiced. I imagine folks did the same for Dead Rising 2, Resident Evil 5, and other games that ditched Microsoft's PC gaming platform. It may have bruised Microsoft's ego, but the company appears to have learned from its mistakes.
