I would have loved to use Vita's screenshot function to show you some shots of my time with Taiko Drum Master: V Version, just like I did with Persona 4: Dancing All Night and several other games. Bandai Namco, however, wishes instead for its good-looking game to appear to you as total shit. And I am a granter of wishes.

The picture at the top of this post is the end credits rolling by after the end of the RPG mode, which was pretty fun, and also the source of a lot of the "screenshots" you see in that gallery.
Originally as straightforward of a turn-based JRPG as you can get, Dragon Quest has done quite well mixing with other genres lately. So Square Enix figured, hey, why not get in on the Minecraft craze? Taking visible inspiration from the massively popular world building game, the company has revealed Dragon Quest Builders. Check it out:
The last surviving veteran of the American Civil War, Terry "Hulk Hogan" Lastname was just another grandfatherly figure getting ready to oil himself up and take us all to the gun show. Fast approaching his 200th birthday, he was also looking forward to the surprises 2K might set him up with in its next rasslin' video game.
So is anyone here actually playing the new Godzilla game? The two versions (PS3 and PS4) sold, like, under 10,000 units apiece in Japan, so I know the market isn't huge. Just wondering what you think of it, if you're playing.
Me? Oh, good of you to ask. I'm just finishing up the RPG mode in that Taiko Drum Master Vita game I talked about last week. The fucking thing doesn't let me take my own screenshots, though, so my review is going to be filled with dumb photos from a camera pointed at my Vita. In Bandai Namco would rather have its game presented to you as something that looks like ass, then I suppose that's just the way things have to be. After all, they released Godzilla, didn't they?
Summer Games Done Quick 2015, one of the most popular gaming charity events of the season, will commence on July 26 at 10am and will speedrun (har, har) through to August 1. All donations will benefit Doctors Without Borders.
So, it's happened. A game that serves a somewhat small but very passionate fan base has come out. The underwhelming game has been met with indifference from the mass market and a critical bloodbath.
The Electronic Sports League has banned Adderall (aka "Addy"), a psychostimulant meant to treat ADHD, due to its performance-enhancing effects. Adderall, when taken in significant enough doses, increases reaction time and elevates focus, making it an infamously popular drug for athletes and test-taking college students.
EA has just released two new screenshots of this year's Need for Speed. Under normal circumstances that wouldn't be very interesting, but these screenshots are downright spectacular. I'd go as far as to say that they indicate that it will become the best-looking racing game in history when it arrives this November.
Square Enix has finally detailed Rise of the Tomb Raider's exclusivity deal with Xbox. It was learned that PC gamers will have to wait six months before playing one of 2015's most anticipated titles, while those who want the PlayStation 4 version will be waiting a grueling 12 months.

If you look at the history of Xbox, Microsoft has made a wealth of timed exclusivity deals during its journey. More importantly, it has been very consistent in partnering with developers for titles that have had a huge impact. Below I will go over 10 games that have had timed exclusivity on Xbox, and discuss the impression they made on the gaming industry.
I was out on assignment on Wednesday and had internet troubles Thursday afternoon, so this episode of Challenge Accepted may come as a surprise. I did a short late night stream because I wanted to have something up for you fine folks. Also, I'll take any excuse to play more Rocket League.
A new patent for Nintendo's quality of life platform has surfaced online, providing an early look at the company's sleep monitor, which is expected to release sometime next year.
At QuakeCon 2015, Bethesda announced a very special compilation for PC gamers who have a soft spot for the Fallout franchise.
On September 29 in North America and October 2 in Europe, gamers will be able to pick up Fallout Anthology, a massive collection of all the prior Fallout titles, including Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition, and Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition. Yes, that means each game's official add-on content is included as well.

At E3, there's usually at least one moment where I see something at the corner of the eye and skip it due to time constraints, but deep in the back of my mind, I know it eventually will come raging back to the surface with a vengeance. And this year, that was Bowser and Donkey Kong for Skylanders Superchargers. I'm as surprised by this as you are.
With all the true-to-life franchises on the market, Skylanders had drifted somewhere to the back of the pack and Superchargers' introduction of vehicles was interesting but not as enticing as Disney Infinity, Lego Dimensions, and Nintendo's popular amiibos. Then came the announcement of Dark Bowser and Dark Donkey Kong at Comic-Con, and the news that both Bowser and Donkey Kong will actually make a crossover and function both as an amiibo and as a Skylander. Oh no, it's happening.
After a short hiatus, EA Sports Hockey League will be returning as a playable game mode in the coming NHL 16. Fans were not too thrilled about its missing status in the 2015 edition and EA took notice. Not only are they bringing back the beloved mode, but also making a few changes to make gameplay and the experience feel more authentic.
When people look back fondly on games like Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, they think of inventive power-ups, intricate worlds, and secret exits. I came to the older Mario games late in life, so I think of lava pits and deadly enemies. I was taken back by how difficult those games were and still are today, and it's one of the reasons Super Mario Maker shines. It allows people to create, share, and participate in deviously designed levels that capture the difficulty of old Mario games - then it increases the challenge tenfold.
If there were a video game theme park, would you visit? It might sound outside the realm of possibility, but according to a new report Universal is looking to make the first move to make such a dream a reality.
Bulimia.com is trying to make a point about female video game characters. They have posted a handful of side-by-side comparisons of the original artwork of certain female characters and what they would look like as an "average America woman's measurements."
It's only been a month since Microsoft delivered one of its best Xbox press conferences in history, rich with game footage and exciting announcements. Even then, it's been busy preparing for something equally as substantial: Gamescom 2015.
When Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics announced Rise of the Tomb Raider for only Xbox 360 and Xbox One, we all suspected it was a timed exclusivity deal. It turns out that's exactly the case, and Square Enix announced release dates for other platforms this morning.
