Major Nelson announced today that that the sequel to Doritos Crash Course will be hitting XBLA on May 8, for the wonderful price of free.  The original was a great Track and Field-style game, but with far more skill and timing required.

After sinking dozens of hours into Terraria on PC, I was a little worried about heading back into the game. Would I be bored with it, having already played Terraria to death? Would the magic be less magical? And how on earth will all those keyboard commands fit on a controller? The answers to these [...]

In one of the most pleasantly surprising bits of gaming news in a while, Capcom announced today at PAX East that DuckTales Remastered is coming out.
