I didn’t know I could have an entitled opinion about giant anime robots until I played a preview of Gundam Rogue Orbit, but it turns out I can. I’m mad because they gave me a Gundam with a whip sword straight out of Bloodborne (if Gundam hadn’t actually gotten there first in the mid-’90s). To…
I thought Warhammer Survivors sounded like a neat spin-off—Vampire Survivors in a Warhammer skin, created by Boltgun developer Auroch Digital. Having spent 10 hours with its demo, however, I’m increasingly convinced that it deserves to be catagorised as a sequel. A lot of care has clearly gone into the hero design, maps and all the…
Rave from the Grave. The ’90s horror output of controversial Japanese developer FairyTale is headed to PC, translated into English (officially) for the very first time. Published by FAKKU, the first release in FairyTale’s “Nightmare Collection” will be the PC-98 title Dead Of The Brain, which gooed up the Japanese market back in 1992. Dead…
Let battle commence. In case you didn’t notice by now, October is an exceptionally busy month for game releases. Why? Because every publisher and their nan is scrambling to avoid Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI in November. There are, however, still some games launching in November, perhaps most notably Barbie Rewind The Legend of Zelda:…
Ignore the section tag for this article, because while Deadlock may technically have the DNA of a MOBA or a third-person shooter, it is actually a horror game, and a bloody scary one at that. How did I come to this hypothesis, you ask? Well, a few reasons come to mind, including one huge one…
Wuhu Island: Be there or be (Spocco) Square. Back what seems like a lifetime ago, I got a chance to have a pop at Nintendo Switch Sports Resort at gamescom ’26. No, I don’t mean the stuff that just anyone with a ticket and the patience to wait in an enormous queue could play. No,…
I have technically solved a lot of crimes from the comfort of my gaming chair, but it’s surprisingly rare for games to actually engage with the mechanics of a criminal investigation. You’ll chat to folk, maybe use your ‘detective vision’, and then the culprit is found. Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy asks more from you. As…
Got 5,000 hours to spare? The rare and rubbish PS1 RPG Spectral Tower has been translated into English, and is now ready and raring to go for all players looking to have a tedious, endless adventure. The patch, crafted by a team of homebrewers, arrives just in time for the dubious title’s 30th anniversary. Released…
Going Deeper Underground. Thalamus Digital has revealed the artwork for the upcoming physical release of its 2025 old-school platformer, Cave Dave. The colourful image was painted by Wil Overton, the veteran artist known for their work with developer Rare as well as their legendary, anime-infused covers for ’90s magazine Super Play. Released digitally for Game…
Q27GADE: was $329.99 now $279.99Is this the cheapest big-brand OLED gaming monitor money can buy? Right now, very likely. The refresh rate is pretty low, as is the brightness. But it’s still tempting thanks to that perfect per-pixel lighting and incredibly fast pixel response. Key specs: 27-inch | 1440p | 144 Hz | 0.03 ms…
