For reasons unknown, there’s currently a massive Steam sale on the singleplayer games by Respawn until February 20. Titanfall 2 and 2019’s Jedi: Fallen Order can each be had for under $5, while last year’s Jedi Survivor is currently 50% off, or about $35 (first spotted by PCGamesN). I have to issue a mea culpa:…
Helldivers 2 has reached unexpected heights of success in the past week, with a trajectory of players that mimics previous post-launch successes like Valheim. With over 330,000 concurrent players on Steam as of this afternoon, that concurrent players line is only going up from launch weekend’s 150K peak, signaling a game that’s pulling in real…
To borrow the parlance of Dark Souls, I have absolutely “gone Hollow” awaiting further word on Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It’ll come when it comes, but I can only replay Elden Ring and the rest of the Souls series so many times in anticipation. Enter The Convergence, an Elden Ring overhaul mod that…
As ranked by you. Some people might understandably associate the Tomb Raider series, like WipeOut and Crash Bandicoot, with PlayStation. Lara Croft shot to prominence as the poster girl of gaming in the lad-mag era of the late-’90s and feels forever tied to the cultural gaming cornerstone that is Sony’s debut console. However, Core Design’s…
Silent Hill 4 was considered the black sheep of the series for a short period and caused one of the first schisms among the fans. A somewhat new approach to the series, but still retaining the spirit of the series. However, the approach isn’t without merit and manages to deliver in surprising ways. Released in…
We would never steer you wrong. In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”. We don’t have…
With M2 at the helm, if possible. Towards the end of last year, Sega announced that it would be delving into its enviable archives to revive some of its older arcade,16 and 32-bit titles. Fans could scarcely believe it; Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio will all see new…
Every DK game, as ranked by you. Update: To celebrate the 10th anniversary of DKC: Tropical Freeze and the return of DK (and his rivalry with Mario) to Switch in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, we’re overhauling our Best DK Games list, switching it to a reader-ranked format. That’s right, the list below is now governed…
Multi-platform plans. It has been another Direct-less week, but that isn’t stopping us from taking our Switches for a spin this weekend. Welcome back to another edition of What Are You Playing! Yes, this week didn’t bring the Direct announcement that many of us had foreseen, but there was still plenty of juicy news in…
The GBA title is back. Apart from the arrival of the Smash Bros. Sora amiibo this week, Nintendo has also revived Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Switch. This one is a bit different to the average new release because it’s a remake of the 2004 Game Boy Advance title with a few new worlds, co-op…
