The other deck I tried was the Dark Child version of Annie, who gets to ready two runes at the end of her turn. She's one of the trickiest characters available in the base starter set, as she can respond to other players in turn with spells, and completely mess up other player's turns since you always have free mana to sp
Not your usual SDCC movie, Brigsby Bear is a festival hit that's making its domestic opening in just a week's time. The film follows a kidnapped baby now grown-up discovering the wider world and with it that Brigsby Bear , the TV show made by his captors, is fake, leading to an obsession with making his own vers
It's commendable that the Riftbound team has rules for alternative game modes at launch. An increasingly large number of TCGs come and go with a singular format, suffering as a result. It might be way too early for this, but a PVE set would go down nicely with the League of Legends community, if it's ever in the ca
Death Note has been a highly controversial Netflix Original care of the deemed cultural appropriation of the Manga adaptation. The panel (shared with Bright) was heavily focused on shifting this viewpoint. There was no new full trailer, but a clip released online did offer a key sc
Ultimately, it's safe to assume that we can expect a lot of densely forested areas, super-scenic vistas from the top of untamed mountains, and a large chunk of ground to cover. Personally, I can't w
San Diego Comic-Con may boast endless panels and more exclusives than you can shake a replica lightsaber at, but what it's really all about is the trailers. This is the unqiue time of year when studios know they have a captive worldwide audience and so release fresh looks at all variety of movies, from hyped indies to the biggest blockbusters of the next twelves months (and beyo
Wounded Mongol commander Liu Fu-Hsiang discussed what to do with other generals, and he ultimately withdrew the army to the perceived safety of the ships (some sources also state that they were short on arrows, which contributed to the decisi
I had the chance to take the game for a spin over several rounds with multiple Champions, and I have a really good feeling about it. Beyond the trials and tribulations of the CCG format in general, there's a promising core system here , especially when it comes to games involving three or more play
Battlefield management was a significant factor in why things became generally more interesting as the number of players increased. Rather than force everyone into a kingmaking situation (where everyone is ganging up on one person to eliminate them), players need to constantly read into every strategic move and figure out how to capture each battlefield for themsel
Of course, there might be disk space restrictions, as Ghost of Tsushima is probably going to be a very big game. Sucker Punch is known for its massive open worlds, and the real Tsushima is an enormous island, measuring 274 square miles. That being said, it would probably be quite easy to provide the Japanese voice track as a separate DLC for those who want
Think of runes like a Bandai Namco card game energy system. Every turn, you'll get two new runes automatically, which can pay for cards. How many runes you leave open can dictate how defensively or offensively the other player will act on their turn, so it behooves you to leave something open to resp
I was sitting in the audience at Sony's pre-Paris Games Week press conference when the trailer of Ghost of Tsushima started rolling . I was even slightly distracted, focused on my laptop as I was taking care of my preparations to cover all the n
It took a few days for the Mongols to get ready again, and at the beginning of June, both fleets had departed. Only, the Korean one did not wait again to join with its Chinese allies and sailed for Iki Island, where the combined weight of Korean and Mongol numbers managed to overwhelm the defend
One of the big headliners of SDCC 2017, Justice League took prime position in Warner Bros. two-hour panel. The trailer released is a whopping four minutes long and gives a comprehensive view of the mo
For inFAMOUS: Second Son Sucker Punch aimed to create a city that felt like Seattle, without creating a 1:1 reproduction. This was done for simple practical reasons in terms of development time and https://strategynewsbase.com/ resources, and also to keep gameplay focused. It was pretty much a city-shaped superhero playground, and scaling the city down considerably, alongside altering the geography made perfect se
There's so many, in fact, it's near impossible to keep track of. But worry not, we're here to help. Here's a rundown of all of the trailers released online from the convention. We'll be updating across the weekend as more come
One of my favorite aspects of Riftbound is easily the Battlefield concept. To actually win games, you need to conquer Battlefields with Champions and units, which are like locations that simulate towers or other important buildings in a League of Legends match. The game is actually won through points, and you need eight to claim victory in a 1v1 heads
