Will you give it “Igo”? Here’s something you don’t see every day: a previously unreleased Nintendo 64 title has just been found and preserved. Right out of the gate, I should probably mention that it’s not Mother 3 or the N64 build of Project Dream that’s been preserved, but a little-known Go game, which was…
(and its four particularly dopey heroes). Publisher Ubisoft has released a new “overview” trailer for its upcoming remaster Rayman Legends Retold. The six-minute video reintroduces players to Rayman and his brick-thick pals, as well as shining a spotlight on the vibrant, colourful world known as The Glade of Dreams. The trailer follows Rayman, Globox, Barbara…
World of Warcraft: Forever’s got me feeling nostalgic. In case you’ve been under a rock this week, Blizzard’s released the beta for its reimagining of “Classic”—or, if you’re at least 30 years old like me, “Vanilla”—World of Warcraft. It’s a trip and a half, seeing these old zones touched up with just the right amount…

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…
