Now coming in the summer. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction is one of our most-anticipated releases for the Switch this year. There’s no more perfect a marriage between side-scrolling beat ’em up and IP in our mind, and after Bitmap Bureau’s Terminator 2D: NO FATE, we’re eager to see…
A necromancer’s body betrays its own head, cutting it off and burying it underground before lumbering off to pursue immortality. Some time later, the skull rises from the earth and summons a skeletal army to take on its own headless corpse. As opening cutscenes go, it’s certainly unique. And it’s pretty much all the setup…
There’s been just a little confusion surrounding the upcoming hardcore sci-fi shooter Fragmentary Order, in that while Escape from Tarkov’s creator, Nikita Buyanov, is involved it was not known to what extent, and whether it would have an impact on Tarkov. But this has now been cleared up by Buyanov himself. “Frago (Fragmentary Order) is…
XYesterday was a big day for me, because yesterday saw the first official confirmation of Metro 2039 as the next game in 4A’s outstanding post-apocalyptic train-riding series. It wasn’t actually a reveal—that won’t happen until Thursday, April 16—but it was a title and a commitment, and by god I’ll take it. Now I have burning…
“it’s goofy, but it’s fun”. Denshattack! is, in our opinion, one of the most unique games we’ve seen in quite some time. Sure, the basic gameplay loop of launching into the air to pull off tricks before grinding across some tracks isn’t exactly new in itself, but get this… it’s a train. It’s a train!…
Roblox’s efforts to scrub clean its really-quite-awful reputation for child safety continued yesterday, with an announcement that, come June, it will be introducing new age-based account categories for kids. The two new account types are Roblox Kids (for five to eight year olds) and Roblox Select (for nine to 15 year olds), and Roblox Corp…
“I can’t believe I beat Valve to it” is the newest video from YouTuber Zac Builds, who, well, beat Valve to making a Steam Machine. He says, “I don’t want to just make a one-for-one copy. Instead, with a bit of ingenuity, I think we can make something that’s cheaper, faster, and overall better than…
With the gaming monitor market absolutely swamped with different makes, models, and specifications, it can be hard for manufacturers to stand out in the crowd. However, Sony reckons it has just the ticket, in the form of a dual-mode OLED display that’s practically the same as what Asus and LG offer, except it’s got the…
If you mosey on over to Microsoft’s Surface store, you might spot something a little alarming, but not in the least bit surprising. Yes, that’s right: the prices for every model have increased, with some variants now starting at $500 more than they did at launch. And if you want to point the finger of…
It’s awfully dark in some of those Windrose caves, and just when I thought I had a handle on surviving the pirate-infested archipelagos, I died one too many times while stocking up on copper. I almost resorted to cranking up my gamma, but remembered I’d unlocked the lantern earlier and just needed a bit of…
