These days, only a few triple-A games really stress out modern 3D hardware. With the plethora of less-demanding indie titles making up a fair chunk of the average gamer’s library, grabbing a new video card isn’t the regular ritual it once was. But is there something else to blame for the slowed pace of GPU innovation? Epic head honcho Mark Rein thinks so. More »      

I’d like to think I’m a people person. I might not agree with 75 per cent of what other people say or think or believe, but I get along. It’s what I do. In today’s society it works, for the most part. In Civilization V it didn’t, at least not until now. It’s a Brave New World, and I almost conquered it with commerce. More »      

The original soundtrack for Mega Man 5 is now available for $8.95 on Capcom's official shop; it's almost as if they planned its release to coincide with the debut of Mega Man 5 on the 3DS Virtual Console. What a weird coincidence! At 57 hot jams long, Mega Man 5's soundtrack was composed by Mari Yamaguchi, who was often credited mononymously (as "Mari") for her work at Capcom. She also composed the music for Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts and several of the songs on the Breath of Fire soundtrack, in addition to handling arrangement duties for the TurboGrafx-16 version of Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition. Yamaguchi returned to the Mega Man franchise in 2010, penning the stage theme for Mega Man 10's Sheep Man.Mega Man 5 OST busts into the Capcom Store originally appeared on Joystiq on Sat, 18 May 2013 22:30:00 EST.

So, uh, the ABS put together this slick little city builder, called Run That Town, released it on the App Store — free — and made very little noise about it. Well, noise we didn’t hear, anyway. But it deserves more attention, if only because it looks as polished, if not more so, than most top mobile games. More »      

Hello there world! Welcome to my dinky little video game shop! Even with the way that the industry is changing, with digital and the whatnot coming to the fore, I for some godforsaken reason saw this as a fun (bad) opportunity and jumped right on in. More »      

New Regency Films and Ubisoft Motion Pictures' Assassin's Creed movie collaboration will hit theaters May 22, 2015, according to Box Office Mojo. Starring Michael Fassbender, the movie concerns "a man who learns his ancestors were trained assassins after he is kidnapped by a secret org with ties to the Knights Templar, and sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts," according to a Variety report last year. We're guessing this release date means that Ubisoft is going to continue to ignore our repeated (and might we add, quite generous) offers to write the film as a reimagined version of You've Got Mail.Report: Assassin's Creed movie to open in May of 2015 originally appeared on Joystiq on Sat, 18 May 2013 21:00:00 EST.
