There’s no doubt that the headline for CONTROL Resonant belongs to the fact that it’s a true-blue melee-action game now. Where the original CONTROL centred on paranatural gunplay, a direct line of evolution from Remedy’s history with Max Payne and Quantum Break, its sequel brings us up-close and personal with the freakish threats this time…
A little Rash. Developer Secret Base has released a short clip created as a pitch for Battletoads content, presumably planned as potential DLC for the studio’s 2023 release, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. The clip sees shades-sporting Battletoad Rash kicking ass within a stripped-down version of the Double Dragon Gaiden engine, beating up…
Zidane and shurrup, EA FC’s back. If you’ve been following the Odyssey-like epic (Homer’s, that is, not Mario’s or Abe’s) that is EA FC’s relationship with Nintendo consoles, you’ll know that we’ve been out of the rut for a few years now. After it emerged that the Switch version of FIFA 18 was essentially an…
Game over? Not quite. I never actually realised quite how many video games there are based on the Alien media property until Mike Diver’s superb Aliens: The Video Games – An Unofficial Guide dropped onto my doormat. And I say this as a fan of many of those games; Alien 3 on the Mega Drive…
I’m Fraser, and I’m a whale. Yesterday saw my current go-to MMO, Star Trek Online, launch a limited loot box for Star Trek’s 60th anniversary, featuring an impressive roster of ships and, for the grand prize, the new Constitution Pilot Multi-Mission Cruiser—the version of the Enterprise seen in Strange New Worlds. I’m too embarrassed to…
Could it join Zero Wing on SNK’s system? The Tokyo Game Show gave us the very welcome news that Toaplan’s Zero Wing is being ported to the Neo Geo, and this has clearly inspired some people to consider other potential conversation candidates. One of these is Earthion, a game made with the Mega Drive hardware…
AMD has filed its latest driver patches for Linux and included within those are the first indication of support for GDDR7. As spotted by Phoronix, the AMDGPU patch specifically adds the identifier “GDDR7” to the driver. It’s only a small change—a single line in a pile of code for the company’s open source GPU driver—yet…
Boo hoo. The Pokémon Trading Card Game 30th Anniversary expansion launched last week on 16th September, and the release was expectedly messy. Launch day saw lengthy queues outside stores in the early hours of the morning, cancelled and delayed pre-orders, and, most infuriating of all, select individuals sitting on huge hoards of stock, preventing anyone…
I wouldn’t take the overtime. The fact that Bryan was forced down this spiral of blood, guts, and tears just because he thought he could make a bit more cash is simultaneously the most realistic and tragic aspect of the new Resident Evil movie. And honestly, I get it. Who doesn’t need a bit of…
“The classic masterpiece Xevious reborn in polygons!”. Over 30 years after its original release in the arcades, Hamster is bringing Xevious 3D/G, Namco’s divisive 3D revival of its 1983 shoot ’em up classic Xevious, to modern consoles this week, as part of Arcade Archives 2. Developed for Namco’s System 11 arcade board, Xevious 3D/G featured…
