June 4th is coming up soon so Capcom and Dontnod are showing off their version of near future with the dystopian, memory hacking game, "Remember Me" hear in New York. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to check out the full demo as I was still nostalgie-tripping over "DuckTales" but I did get a few hands on moments with some combat and explored a bit of the seedy underbelly of Neo Paris.

They're really pushing the Slade/Batman conflict pretty hard with the marketing of "Arkham Origins," this October's prequel to Warner Brother's pair of "Arkham" games. Even if the initial announcement out of the publisher was that Black Mask would be the main heavy, one-eyed super assassin Deathstroke has been the one featured most prominently up to this point.

Which is weird, because he's better known for spending his time trying to murder the Teen Titans.

Adventure Time_Characters

The creators of Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time" don't bury the series' 8-bit inspirations too deep: it's not uncommon for the series to play with the tropes of classic dungeon crawlers as animated hero Finn goes on whatever monster-slaying, treasure-hunting quest is set before him that week, set to a chiptune soundtrack. The season 5 episode "Mystery Dungeon" plays with these elements well, putting a mismatched group of the show's side characters together for an unexpected, stupid journey.

Anyway, that's all to say that D3 Publisher's announcement of their second "Adventure Time" game is a welcome one. Instead of going handheld as they did with the "Zelda II"-like "Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!," this fall's "Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!" will be headed to consoles and the PC.

"The Novelist," a new indie stealth-adventure game by Ion Storm and 2K Marin veteran Kent Hudson, has one of the saddest, most melancholy premises I've encountered: you play as a benevolent poltergeist haunting novelist Dan Kaplan and his family.

Supernatural nightmare notwithstanding, the Kaplans' ectoplasmic best friend can read people's thoughts, eavesdrop on their conversations, and thumb through their journals -- all the better to keep the family from coming apart at the seams. Dan's career is stalling apparently, but it's nothing a ghostly presence can't fix. "The Novelist" is kind of like the last episode of American Horror Story: Murder House, but with more humanity and grace and less campy gore and trashy gossip-mongering.
