1984, indeed. We reported back last year on the existence of Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary, and now we know that the game will launch on July 24th for Switch, and it’ll only set you back £19.99/$19.99. Heck, this time you can even have a gander at how it all looks in motion in the above…
The ‘Craig Stitt Art & Design Papers’ are now available. The Video Game History Foundation has added yet another collection to its digital library — this time focusing on the work of the former Sega Technical Institute and Insomniac artist and designer Craig Stitt. Stitt worked at the Sega Technical Institute between 1990 to 1995…
I’ll never forget the first time my friends and I played Phasmophobia. It was like nothing I’d ever played before, absolutely hilarious, and surprisingly terrifying—it still is. So it’s rather funny to me that not only does Phasmo’s creator not really play horror games but he didn’t intend to make one either. “I failed to…
This Nintendo Switch 2 review is one of the hardest I’ve had to write. As a PC gamer, the last couple of years of gaming handheld PCs have been fascinating, and, though they were likely in the works for a long time, it’s hard not to think of the original Nintendo Switch as being somewhat…
The original Minesweeper is a simple and precise puzzle. It’s a game of deduction—eliminating possibilities one by one, using cold, hard numbers, until you have found the truth. BroomSweeper dares to ask: what if sometimes the numbers were just lying to you? (Image credit: BandsWithLegends) Set in a surreal corporate dystopia, the game transplants Minesweeper…
Halo Infinite has announced the start of Operation: Legacy, a range of multiplayer tweaks, maps and modes that essentially makes Infinite resemble the golden age of Halo 3. We’ve been here before, kinda: last year saw Infinite throw a similar Halo 2-themed nostalgia party for that game’s 20th anniversary. But Halo 3 eh? Phwoar. Looking…
What’s better than being Judge Dredd? Being Judge Dredd with a pet robodog. Darktide’s first DLC class is the arbitrator, who enforces the Lex Imperialis with shotgun and shock maul. Or assault shield and shotpistol. And grenades and shock mines, and a flying loudspeaker drone called the nuncio aquila that barks commands and insults. But…
Chrono Odyssey appears to be a pretty traditional fantasy MMORPG for the first 30 minutes, but then time stuff happens and the entire look of the world and its monsters change. This is an ambitious MMO all about time-manipulation and I’m curious to see if it can pull it off. I spent some time in…
Category: Games June 12, 2025 Pragmata Brings a Thrillingly New Idea to Third-Person Shooters Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief The third-person shooter genre is a rich lineage, with developers building on the “right” way to combine gunplay, exploration, and puzzle-solving over the course of decades. We’ve seen these games adopt slow motion, cover mechanics, and…
Fly, power disc! The recent announcement that Evercade and SNK are working together to bring some of the Neo Geo’s most famous titles to a new audience was met with a positive response, but one game that sadly couldn’t be included as part of this deal is Windjammers—because SNK doesn’t own the rights to it….
