The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain? Fallout 4? The competition is fierce.
Every game (or at the very least, every open-world game) needs to feature plant-picking, apparently. I noticed the trend last year, and it didn't slow down in 2015. What game had the best? And what game featured plant picking that I didn't list above? Let us know.

GameInformer News Dong Nguyen, the creator of Flappy Bird, released a new game last week with Swing Copters 2.
As the title implies, it is a sequel to Swing Copters. You can can grab the ad-supported, free-to-play game for iOS here. Last year, Nguyen famously pulled his massive hit game Flappy Bird down from iTunes at the height of its popularity. Since Flappy Birds, Nguyen has released three games: Super Ball Juggling, Swing Copters, and now Swing Copters 2.

GameInformer News We got some new details about Kingdom Hearts III this morning, which prompts a common question for the franchise – what worlds do you want to see Sora visit?
Pixar is under-represented in the game so far, and other tangential Disney franchises like Marvel and Star Wars are certainly exciting to consider, but let's try to remain realistic. I think Wall-E could be cool, though I would rather see the abandoned Earth than the Axiom. How about classic Disney movies? Sleeping Beauty? Maybe the 2000 half live-action half animated, Dinosaur? How about Meet the Robinsons? That movie has a lot of cool technology in it.
Let us know in the comments below!

Capcom released a trio of Man games on Virtual Console on Thursday.
Mega Man Zero, Mega Man Battle Network: Team Colonel, and Mega Man Battle Network: Team Protoman. Zero is $7.99, and the two Battle Networks are $6.99 each.
When it released in 2005 we gave Mega Man Zero 4 an 8 writing, "Zero 4 delivers what fans expect out of a Mega Man title – namely, cool boss battles and hectic side-scrolling action – and addresses some of the issues of previous entries in the series. [...] Zero 4 still runs into some problems with overly generous hit detection and not allowing you to see far enough ahead to plan out your moves, but if your GBA hole needs plugging, this is a good choice."

GameInformer News There's some movie called The Force Awaken's coming out this weekend, and if we haven't already seen it we're going to see it...or going again. What are you up to this weekend?
Mike Futter (@futterish) – This weekend I hope to finish up Tales from the Borderlands, start Fallout 4, and dig into Elite Dangerous on PC with my new flight stick. I also will probably continue my Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition playthrough with my friend. That game is a whole different experience when taken as a co-op adventure.
Kyle Hilliard (@KyleMHilliard) – I went overboard and found everything in Rise of the Tomb Raider before finishing it off and have now moved onto the gif generator known as Just Cause 3. She's a little young, but I think I'm going to try and watch the original trilogy with my daughter this weekend, before her mom and I go see Episode VII.

There’s a new Ghostbusters film coming next year, and the quartet of Venkman, Stanz, Spengler, and Zeddemore aren’t the stars. The upcoming movie stars a brand new cast of young comedians.
The new crop of New York’s finest is played by Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids), Melissa McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Kristin Wiig (Saturday Night Live), (Saturday Night Live). Yes, that’s a lot of Saturday Night Live, which was also home to original Ghostbusters cast members Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. Harold Ramis, who played Egon Spengler, worked with the pair at Second City improv comedy theatre.
In addition to the very green new image above, posters for each of the four were revealed last night. You can see them over at Ain’t It Cool News.
