We went hands-on with Fate/Extra Record to see how this cult RPG from the PSP era has changed in this enhanced and expanded remaster during Tokyo Game Show.

After coming away disappointed with the Chapter 4 Gamescom demo in August, this new Final Fantasy VII Revelation demo, set during Chapter 1, gave me exactly what I was looking for.
We've played roughly 15 hours of Valor Mortis, the first-person Soulslike from the team behind the Ghostrunner series, and though we're enjoying most of it a lot, its difficulty balance feels out of tune.
“At the heart of the steamy jungles of Venus, we have come upon the
dead city. Beneath its broken towers, in the dimness of its deepest
vault, the wizard awaits us. Is there hope? No man has entered the
catacombs and lived.”
Miegakure is a deceiving game. At first it looks simple, in both art
style and scope, but the unique concept will leave you scratching your
head for hours.
Fully deserving recognition for technical prowess, the size, scope
and avid community supporting Heroes of Newerth make it an intimidating
game to infiltrate.
A recipient of multiple nominations this IGF season, Closure has been
given nods for excellence in technical design, audio and the ancillary
Nuovo award. From what we’ve seen, the attention is well deserved.
Super
Meat Boy is as bizarre as it sounds. You play as a cube of sentient
meat, in love with a young lady made of bandages, who is spirited away
by an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tuxedo. Really.
Fully deserving a nod in the visual art category, Limbo stands out amongst more traditional puzzle/platformers by complementing simple gameplay mechanics with an eerie and engrossing world.
A point-and-click/hidden object hybrid, Trauma tells a story of
survival and recovery by a young woman fresh from a car accident that
killed her parents.
A coming-of-age story of sorts, Owlboy stars a young owl apprentice
named Otus who has a massive weight placed on his shoulders – the
responsibility of saving his idyllic floating village from encroaching
sky pirates.
Bloody, fast-paced and stylish, Shank is about as beautiful
as they come. Sketchy and subdued 2D environments are contrasted by
vivid and exaggerated character design that feel freshly ripped from a
graphic novel.
Though my hands-on time with the new campaign at X10 didn’t involve reuniting
with Bill and company, I did battle through treacherous sewers,
encounter a new uncommon common, and play with a nasty new weapon.
Everybody wants a piece of the online gaming pie, and start-up indie
developer Hi Rez Studios is hoping that Global Agenda's third-person
sci-fi shooting action is a valid meal ticket.
