The Video Game Canon: 2018’s “Version 2.0” Update

The Video Game Canon is a statistical meta-ranking of dozens of “Best Video Games of All Time” lists that began in 2017 with Version 1.0, and the ranking has been updated several times since then. Which game is #1? There’s only one way to find out…

The Video Game Canon has been upgraded to “Version 2.0” thanks to the addition of four new lists that were published throughout the last year. Edge Magazine’s “100 Greatest Videogames” issue, Jeux Video’s “Top 100 Best Games of All Time,” Polygon’s massive “500 Best Games of All Time,” and Stuff UK’s “50 Greatest Games of All Time” have reshuffled the ranking in a big way.

Let’s take a look…

Visit VideoGameCanon.com for all future updates to this project and to explore the complete Top 1000.

Atlus will bring Catherine to new platforms as Catherine: Full Body

The puzzling Catherine beguiled Atlus’s biggest fans back in 2011. It’s wild combination of relationship building, puzzle solving, and terrifying imagery made it an instant classic. But players who missed it the first time around will get a second chance, as the publisher has announced plans to release an enhanced and expanded version of the game known as Catherine: Full Body.

This remake will further complicate Vincent’s love life with the introduction of an entirely new character named Rin. New puzzle sections connected to Rin will be included, as well as new storyline elements for both Catherine and Katherine.

Atlus will release Catherine: Full Body in Japan “next Winter” for the PS4 and Vita. The publisher has already confirmed an American/European launch will happen, but they declined to say which platforms it’ll be available for or when it’ll be released.

In the meantime, you can view the first Japanese trailer for Catherine: Full Body, which is available after the break. (more…)
