Classic PS1 Series Monster Rancher Is Coming Back

 he classic PlayStation game Monster Rancher is coming back this year, according to publisher Koei Tecmo. The Japanese company tweeted an announcement of the rerelease (via Gematsu). It also opened a teaser site under its Japanese name, Monster Farm.

The phrasing implies that this will be a digital-only release, and no release plans have been announced outside Japan.
Monster Rancher first released in 1997, and shares some similarities with Pokemon in that you collect monsters to battle each other. However, Monster Rancher puts much more emphasis on monster husbandry your creatures, as you selectively breed and then raise your creatures to make stronger and stronger iterations of them. One twist was that you could load data to generate a monster from any CD you might have laying around, but that aspect probably won't be present in this digital version.
In GameSpot's original review, Jeff Gerstmann said the game is one of those few per year that "defy classification" and could be a sleeper hit.
"Monster Rancher isn't for everyone," Gerstmann wrote. "If you've got a large collection of CDs, and the patience to sift through them, trying to find a worthy beast, then run out and buy MR right this second. If you like a little more action in your gaming, then you might want to skip Monster Rancher."

  Shadowrun: Hong Kong  is a turn-based tactical role-playing video game that was released in 2015. It is the third licensed instalment of the  Shadowrun  video game series and is, in our opinion, one of the best titles to be released in the franchise. It received almost unanimous critical acclaim and is one of the best cyberpunk games to ever be released. Read on for our  Shadowrun: Hong Kong  review .

A guerra original do console

  Sonic está atualmente encontrando sucesso nos cinemas, e Mario está prestes a tentar as coisas novamente com um projeto Illumination. Com esses personagens de grande nome indo para o cinema, faz você se perguntar se poderíamos ver algum tipo de colaboração cinematográfica estilo Smash Bros. Se isso acontecesse, o diretor do Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Jeff Fowler, adoraria enfrentá-lo. Em entrevista ao Comicbook.com, Fowler se abriu sobre seu interesse em tal projeto. "Nada me faria mais feliz do que apenas jogar todos os personagens em um battle royale e fazer uma grande coisa Smash Bros. Isso provavelmente exigiria algum trabalho dos advogados antes que isso pudesse acontecer. Colocando Mario e Sonic no ringue, quero dizer que todos estariam meio que morrendo por isso, certo? Isso é clássico." A partir de agora, não há tais planos para um filme de Smash Bros. mas você nunca sabe o que o futuro reserva. Universos cinematográficos são toda a raiva agora, um Nintendo certamente po...

Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed Review

  The remake of Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed looks fantastic but is ultimately dragged down by the limitations of its console past. Cryptosporidium and his alien cohorts first touched down on Earth back in 2005 when THQ and Pandemic Studios created an alternative world to ours with  Destroy All Humans! , a Sci-Fi story filled with foreign spies and alien conflict. Pandemic did it again in 2006 with  Destroy All Humans! 2 , carrying the aliens' ridiculous story further into the gaming mainstream during the days of PS2 and Xbox dominance. With  Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed , the second remake by THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games in the  Destroy All Humans!  series, Crypto and friends have a chance to bring the boom to the new generation of gamers, but the game doesn't always meet those expectations. The game is curbed from reaching glory by the constraints placed upon it being an older title, but maintains its outrageous satirical humor all while looking ...
