Let's face it: Star Fox should have stayed in his cockpit. His initial two titles pushed the technological limits for what home consoles could pump out for players to experience, but after that Nintendo decided to make the Star Fox games a blend of on-rails shooting and a third-person action adventure. Personally it never sat right with me. The Nintendo DS's Star Fox Command did see the return of pure on-rails gameplay, but the game itself felt (and looked) like a game that should have come out between the Super Nintendo and the Nintendo 64 releases rather than in 2006. People enjoyed it, but it wasn't really a step forward for the franchise.With no new Star Fox game in sight, fans of the series are left twiddling their thumbs. Fortunately, a game by the name of Perseus 230 is shaping up to be just the game to tide us all over until the next iteration of Star Fox is released.Ludum Dare 29 Winners Announced

By Nick Tylwalk
Sometimes it's hard to distill a game to one sentence that will capture someone's attention. The again, if that sentence includes the phrase "like Q*bert on a Rubik's Cube in space," that'd probably do the trick.I'd love to take credit for making that one up, but it's actually the words of Crescent Moon Games' Josh Presseisen. And it's the best way to summarize Twisty Planets, an upcoming puzzle game for iOS and Android from FirstSight Games and Crescent Moon Games. While Q*bert certainly had some slick moves hopping around pyramids back in the day, he's got nothing on Qub, who sort of resembles a tiny tube TV with legs and a single antenna.Your job is to help Qub hop around each little planetoid to find three stars and escape to the next one. The planets can be rotated along all three axes -- hence the game's title -- which could be a help or hindrance depending on how you twist. Qub will also have to contend with moving platforms, springboards and teleportation portals as he does his thing.$250,000 up for Grabs in Hearthstone World Championship
By Steven Strom
eSports is so very in right now. Clearly all the Dota 2 kids are into it. This year's International (the game's largest annual tournament) has raised nearly $6.5 million for the prize pool from in-game player purchases. That makes it the biggest eSports prize pool of all-time by a wide margin, and with months of fundraising left before the finals.The Hearthstone World Championship's $250,000 seems like small potatoes by comparison, but remember that whoever wins the $100,000 first place prize doesn't have to split it five ways.That winner will be one of 16 finalists selected from four qualifier hubs around the world. 130 players each from the Americas, Europe, China, and Taiwan/Korea will be whittled down to just 16 finalists.Order & Chaos Online is free until June 2

And from now until June 2nd, you can explore this mobile MMO with no strings attached.Normally a $6.99 download, iOS gamers can get in on the action free of charge to see if it's everything they're hoping (SPOILER: it is). Android gamers will be getting a price break as well, where the game has dropped to 99 cents.This one was our pick for the best iPhone game of 2011, and they've been adding new content ever since. Seriously, I can't recommend checking this one out enough.Be sure to grab Order & Chaos Online from the App Store or Google Play before the price goes back up after June 2nd.PC Gamer founder to write first standalone Star Wars film
On Thursday, Lucasfilm revealed on the official Star Wars website that the first standalone Star Wars film — one of the many planned to orbit the releases of the new trilogy - has locked in a director and screenwriter.Gareth Edwards (of 2010's Monsters and this summer's blockbuster, Godzilla) is set to direct, while Gary Whitta will produce the film's screenplay."From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid," Whitta states in the announcement, "Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me, so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth, is literally a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself."Get Virtual Reality on the Go (Maybe) with Vrizzmo
By Steven Strom
Head-mounted displays are the future of gaming! Maybe. I don't know. Anyway, the Oculus Rift is $350 which, last I checked, is more than $65.That's about how much De JET Work's Vrizzmo harness (what a name) will cost. Basically, it's a rubber strap you place your phone in and wear around your head. Specially designed games will show two slightly different images to each of your eyes and provide a stereoscopic 3D effect. Your phone's gyroscope handles the head-tracking.The devs at Oculus Rift have been very outspoken about how miniaturized, low-cost computer parts made their product a reality. The Rift itself is made primarily out of smartphone components, so it's not a massive stretch to think a phone could handle the processing load.It's a cool idea, in theory, but there are some problems.
