Gaijin Games founder Alex Neuse has leveled a little criticism at his peers in the indie game market, stating that with a recent flood of titles has come a number of disappointingly unfinished games. “I think that the indie scene is out of control,” said theBit.Tripdeveloper. “There are SO many games being made, it’s hard to keep track of them all. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but as a gamer who loves to play a game through to completion, I find it hard to set aside the time to give these games the play time they deserve....

Valve has divulged what’s next forPortal 2, following the recent release of the “Peer Review” add-on: “an easy-to-use” map editor that’s expected to come out in early 2012. This editor will hopefully push crowdsourcing a step forward, since it’s said to let players “view, play, and vote” on community-created single-player and co-op test chambers “with a simple click.” There was no mention of applicable platforms, though I suspect Valve is still trying to figure out if this stuff is feasible on consoles....

You just need Xbox Live Gold Thanks to its third-person gameplay and familiar mythological characters,SMITEwas one of the few MOBAs to win me over. That was years ago, and I’ve long since lost interest. But now that the game’sclosed beta on Xbox Onehasopened up, I think curiosity might just get the better of me. As before, PC players can link their accounts to claim a free Zeus skin and also use a one-time merge to copy “select progress and items” over toSMITE‘s Xbox One version....

Catch a Ride In life, sometimes it’s best to celebrate the little victories. For instance, the forces of the universe have prevented me from attending E3 this year, but as a consolation, Telltale is releasingTales from the Borderlands Episode 3: Catch a Rideright after the show. It’ll be nice to go into the review without being totally wiped from a week’s worth of work. Along with the news of the release date, Telltale sent along some screenshots to peruse....

I don’t want to watch you play Mario, but someone does The rumored Share button for the Nintendo Switch is real after all. Soon you’ll be able to pester all of your friends with game screenshots and send them out with social media.

K9W3T-BJZ59-B9SHB-6B3JT-T9CFF Borderlandshas a history of giving out free stuff in the weirdest, most annoying ways possible outside of all of the free and paid true “DLC” offerings. Gearbox loves its Shift Code system and 2K loves its “scour the official website and get free goodies” marketing concept, and in tandem they can be quite the gruesome twosome compared to other publishers that just patch in that same content automatically. This giveaway is Twitter-based, but we’re here to help you out because a few of these things rule....

Let me guess – a Zelda game that will take four years to come out Zelda Williams has been involved with Nintendo for quite some time, lending them a hand with promotional materials and commercials as a fan of their games.
