The horn section. Developer Underwater Fire and publisher First Break Labs have just launched a new story trailer for their upcoming puzzle adventure game Particle Hearts, and, simply put, it looks gorgeous. This one will see you playing as The Drifter, a mysterious horned figure made entirely of particles, who sets out on a journey…
Kickstart to your weekend? There’s something about side-scrolling BMX/motorbike games, don’t you agree? They promise big silly accidents, skill-based gameplay that’s easy to parse, violent falls from mid-air, fun stunts, incredibly painful crashes and… well, yeah, just loads of falling and people getting rag-dolled. Now, we’ve got some good BMX stuff on Switch already, and…
But will they learn from their McSteaks? McDonald’s restaurants in Japan seem to have got a little more than they bargained for over this past weekend, as a promotion between Pokémon and the company’s Happy Meals had to shut down early. The reason? “Higher-than-expected sales”. However, it appears there’s more going on here — and,…
Road British. It is testament to Konami’s back-catalogue, from an era when it was the undisputed king of the 16-Bit and 2D arcade craft, that it can muster so many extraordinary compilations. Gradius Origins joins both the Contra and Castlevania Anniversary releases, and Digital Eclipse’s wonderful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, as yet…
A price that’s lite on your pocket. Turtle Beach is one of the more well-known brands that’s already got an entry on our current list of best gaming headsets for Switch 2, and it looks like it may well be sniffing after another with its latest, rather snazzy-looking budget offering. Turtle Beach’s Airlite Fir for…
For the Melody Motorway. Ohhhhh, Zeebraaaa, Zeebraaaaa, ZEEBRAAAAA!~ Here I am, tapping out once again to the Zebra Bananza theme. It’s a song fit for Carnival, a blend of styles from all across Latin America — the Brazilian Samba, the Cuban Salsa, the Argentinian Tango. Every time DK beats his chest and transforms into the…
Someone’s sitting there, mate. I’m the type of introvert who’s made an art of choosing the right seat in public places. With such honed skills, I assumed a puzzler like Is This Seat Taken? would be second nature, and I was mostly right. This adorable indie might not bring anything radical to the table, but…
Vote! Welcome, cover fans, to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Before we head into this week’s match-up, let’s have a quick reminder of what went down last weekend. It was a one-on-one face-off for the GBA’s The Hobbit, which saw the gloomy North American/European cover go up against the colourful Japanese variant. Somewhat surprisingly…
Following a fan survey earlier this year. We heard earlier this year how One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 would be getting more DLC, and now we’ve got an official update. Bandai Namco and the game’s developer Omega Force have revealed Character Pass 3. It contains six playable characters and is available to purchase on 11th…
An existential crisis courtesy of the Game Boy. I recently started playing Metroid II: Return of Samus for the first time. I’m not sure why. Maybe it was a way of staving off my intense cravings for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which as of writing still doesn’t have a launch date more concrete than the…
