Remember Darkstone? Probably not. It’s one of many Diablo-likes of the 1990s largely forgotten today like Revenant or, er, one of the other examples I could come up with except for the fact I seem to have forgotten them as well. I remember Darkstone because, while a fairly generic fantasy hack-and-slash, it had a few…
This small update is available now. At the end of last month, Nintendo released a major update for its Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World – adding Bob-omb Blast to the game’s Battle mode.

Google has removed Doki Doki Literature Club from its Google Play Store due to perceived violations of its Terms of Service. The cult visual novel surprise-released on the storefront in December following its initial PC release in 2017. It’s since been ported to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and iOS.

After spending the better part of a year sanding down the edges of Dune: Awakening’s PvP system, Funcom has finally decided to throw in the towel. In a new developer update for April, Funcom said it’s become clear that it needs to “rethink our approach and underline the PvE-first nature of the game,” and so…
Just because a deal is reached to get a movie made doesn’t mean it’ll actually get made. We’ve seen it happen a bunch of times with videogame adaptations, like Just Cause, which was announced in 2011 and Splinter Cell, which was in development way back in 2005. Neither film ever materialized. Enter Metal Gear Solid….
You could build a cozy cabin or recreate an entire Counter-Strike map with World of Warcraft’s player housing tools, but imagine the fun of pulling one over on other players by becoming a table and hiding in plain sight. Blizzard’s huge catalog of household objects are practically begging for a prop hunt mode and it…

Bonjour, evildoers. Today’s Triple-i Initiative showcase promised us some Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse news, and we got a little bit of that during today’s presentation. In the short new trailer up top, featuring commentary from Motion Twin — the lead developer on Konami’s revival, who also created Dead Cells — we got a look at some…
