“I really wanted to lean into the pinball thing”. A small group of developers are currently hard at work on a promising new pinball-inspired platformer that will “soon” be receiving a demo for your Game Boy Color. Buzz Bumper originally came to our attention over this past weekend after one of its developers, the programmer…
“I hope they have an option to switch back to the original sprites”. A few weeks ago, Nightdive Studios and Atari revealed during the Opening Night Live showcase for Gamescom that it was working on a remaster of LucasArts’ 1997 first-person shooter Outlaws, as well as its expansion Handful of Missions.

While WipEout famously used licensed tracks from artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, and…
“What the hell?”. It’s fair to say that, prior to its release in 2001, Metal Gear Solid 2 had lots of people excited. The PS1 original had become one of the most critically acclaimed games on that console, bringing Hideo Kojima’s brilliance to a broader global audience and transforming the dormant Metal Gear franchise into…

At just four episodes, making a whopping total of eight twenty-minute vignettes of life as an island resort for Pokemon, it’s easy to see why Pokemon Conceirge is such a low-key project.
