High on Life’s yapping alien guns were not to everyone’s taste (we gave it a 40% in our review), and although the sequel revealed today at the Xbox Games Showcase still features big-mouthed firearms (how could it not?), the trailer focused much more on fancy skateboarding and fast shooting. With the caveat that this looks…
The Plague Tale series is a low-key fave of mine. Look, I love my little rats. Tidal waves of killer rats that you end up controlling? Even better. In today’s Xbox Showcase, Focus gave us a quick look at the latest game, and it’s not at all what I expected. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy…
Today’s Xbox Games Showcase saw the reveal of Super Meat Boy 3D, a new entry in the series that transplants our protein-packed hero into the third dimension. The original Meat Boy was always notable for its art style as much as the brutal challenge, and that’s clearly been the challenge here: I like what they’ve…
We just got another look at Bloober Team’s upcoming horror game Cronos: The New Dawn during the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, and instead of revealing anything more about the playable characters this trailer focuses on all the horrendous monsters you’ll encounter and how they’re actually worse than you’d think. Inside the Orphans’ nest lies a…
Beneath some very Witcher 3-like strings and vocals, the former CDPR devs at Rebel Wolves showed off their new game—The Blood of Dawnwalker—as part of the general Keighley-flavoured celebrations at this year’s Summer Game Fest Xbox Showcase. And it sure looks Witcher-y. But, like, Witcher by way of Blade. A gruff protagonist informs us that…
At today’s SGF 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, Game Freak—the developer of acclaimed solitaire-based horseracing sim Pocket Card Jockey and, you know, Pokémon—made a surprise appearance to confirm that it’s not just the Pokémon company. (Technically, The Pokémon Company is the Pokémon company.) The studio unveiled Beast of Reincarnation, a “one-person, one-dog action RPG” coming in…
AMD has added a pair of “new” APUs to its Z2 family of chips. The catch is that neither seem to be actually new and at least one of them is dubious when it comes to offering much of interest to gamers. What’s more, the net result is that the Z2 line of APUs has…
Microsoft’s recent appetite for studio acquisitions means there’s an enormous number of games we could see at Sunday’s Xbox showcase. Will Activision debut this year’s Call of Duty? Probably. We might also see Gears of War: E-Day, the new Perfect Dark game, more of inXile’s Clockwork Revolution, the new Fable game, State of Decay 3,…
Ark: Survival Evolved is 10 years old this month, a fact that makes me feel like a dinosaur. Studio Wildcard’s dino-themed survival sim first appeared in the primordial soup of Steam early access in June 2015, though it didn’t see a full release until two years later. In any case, to mark the occasion, Studio…
I’ve generally avoided Bennet Foddy’s games, given they are essentially purpose-built frustration generators. But there’s something that intrigues me about Baby Steps. Maybe it’s the inherent slapstick comedy built into the concept of a schlub trying to walk up a mountain with physics-empowered feet. Maybe it’s the fact it’s been co-developed by Gabe Cuzzillo and…
