Marvel Transforms Kitty Pryde Into the New Wolverine

Marvel has been incredibly secretive about its X-Men relaunch, Dawn of X. That goes not just for Jonathan Hickman's core X-Men series, but the five other books spinning out of the new mutant status quo. It's only with the release of Marauders #1 that we actually know the plot of this new series from writer Gerry Duggan and artist Matteo Lolli. And the biggest takeaway from issue #1 is that Kitty Pryde has become the new Wolverine of the X-Men franchise.

Read on for more on Kitty's unexpected new status quo, but beware of full spoilers for Marauders #1!

Spin Rhythm XD Is a Rhythm Game That Makes Me Want to Buy a Musical Instrument

There’s a beautiful little touch in Spin Rhythm XD. Occasionally, you’ll be asked to just wildly spin the game’s onscreen controller - a two-tone disc responsible for playing almost all of the game’s notes. It’s a moment of exuberant action amidst a game all about small-scale perfection, the same feeling you used to get from Rock Band’s drum fills.

But what I love in particular is that, when you stop that spin and get ready to keep playing your chosen electronic cut, the game always leaves the disc in the perfect position to play the next note. It’s a miniature masterstroke of design, a way to simultaneously make the game feel fair, and keep you perfectly in the flow (not to mention feeling amazingly good at a game that gets pretty punishing pretty quickly).

No More Heroes, Deadly Premonition Creators Team Up for a Horror Game

No More Heroes creator Goichi "Suda51" Suda and Deadly Premonition creator Hidetaka "Swery65" Suehiro have announced that they are developing a horror game together - in an appropriately strange way.

On an IGN Japan stream, the creators revealed that they had been planning a food-themed PlayStation VR game which was cancelled, but will now collaborate on a new idea.

In 2018, the two creators decided to go ahead with the idea of working together, but would apparently continually meet to discuss ideas, get drunk, and forget what they'd talked about. Today's event was designed to force them to discuss something.
