Posted 1/17/13 3:55 pm EST by MTV Video Games in 3DS / DS, Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem: Awakening, nintendo

By Joseph Leray

Nintendo kindly released a handy -- and awkwardly narrated -- introduction to some of “Fire Emblem: Awakening”’s more nuanced mechanics: support and “pair up.”

Both mechanics depend on smart troop placement to increase individual units effectiveness in battle, adding a unique spin on “Fire Emblem”’s tactical RPG formula. The video does a really good job of explaining complex tactics in simple language, and -- if I’m understanding correctly -- players could conceivably set up four-on-one encounters.

New Video Game Releases For The Week Of 1/15: Please Hammerlock, Don't Hurt 'Em

Posted 1/15/13 12:15 pm EST by Charles Webb in 3DS / DS, News, PC, PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360

That title was completely unmotivated and unnecessary. I apologize and should be ashamed of myself. I'm not, but I should be.

Whether they're from hell, trapped between life and death, or just the native beasts on an alien planet, today's apparently a good day to hunt monsters. With a major console release ("Devil May Cry"), a big chunk of DLC ("Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt" DLC), and a PSP straggler ("Corpse Party; Book of Shadows"), this week might not have a lot on offer, but the selection is at least diverse.

New Screens Introduce 'Mars War Logs'

Posted 1/14/13 10:52 am EST by MTV Video Games in News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360

By Joseph Leray

Spiders Studios released new screenshots for "Mars War Logs" over the weekend, which is as good an excuse as any to take a look at the game. The developers are calling it a “short story” cyberpunk sci-fi action-RPG that takes place -- if you haven’t guessed -- on Mars.

It’s the distant future at a group of space-capitalists have a stranglehold on the water on Mars, making life difficult for the colonists living there. Roy Temperance is “a renegade with multiple talents,” who's taken it upon himself to enter the fray, presumably in opposition to Aurora, a water company that’s strong-armed his hometown with its army of Technomants.
