The Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls beta has been and gone, and while I’m not usually a fighting game person, oh boy did this new superhero tag fighter have the sauce. It was only marred by the fact that PlayStation Network was down for almost the entire opening day, and its PC performance was terrible at…
While we all impatiently shuffle our cards and stack our chips until Balatro 1.1 gets here, we’ve got plenty to keep us busy: there are lots of Balatro-like games out there to play right now, and plenty more on the horizon. One of them is coming from a surprising direction. Mister Morris Games, maker of…
By all accounts, MindsEye was not a good game, and I doubt its ongoing updates will ever change that perception in the eyes of audiences everywhere. The Steam reviews are at 37%, ‘Mostly Negative’ and the Metacritic matches it exactly. People do not like this videogame. In fact, they don’t like it so much that…
ILL is a first-person action-horror game coming to PS5 that aims to deliver relentless terror, both when the player is in full control and during the game’s motion-captured cutscenes. I’m Max Verehin, Co-founder of Team Clout, and I’m honored to give the PlayStation community a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes into creating the…
One of the most beloved horror games (demos?) of all time is finally free from the shackles of the PS4. Hideo Kojima’s P.T. has been natively ported to PC by programmer Lorean Xavier, who made the project public this week. Not an emulator nor a remake, the native PC client does not contain any copyrighted…
In the same way that top-fuel dragsters have no bearing on how we use everyday cars, overclocking the twangers off a CPU using extreme cooling methods doesn’t have much practical use, but it’s super fun to watch. The case in point here is that there’s a new world record for the highest clock speed achieved…
Shoot down alien craft or fire an arm-cannon in this week’s two new titles. Two more new titles come to the Antstream library this week. Defend the Energiser and shoot down alien craft in Desolator (MSX) and find out just what is going on, while firing an arm-cannon, in One (PSOne). Both games will be…
A third-person, open world survival craft-em-up about underpaid space workers will release this week in Space Trash Scavenger. It’s an interesting looking one, with the conceit that it’s a world where every little planetoid and asteroid has its own little sphere of gravity, including your own self-directed and constructed mobile scavenging platform. The same kind…
Released in 2017, Thimbleweed Park is a LucasArts-style point-and-click adventure about murder in a small town, headed up by LucasArts veterans Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. All that LucasArts pedigree added up to an 84% score in our review, on the strength of “challenging puzzles, oddball characters, and an intriguing, mystery-laden plot”—and of course the…
Bear with me here: the Xenosaga JRPG series belongs to the wider Xeno series, which also includes the lately-very-popular Xenoblade Chronicles games. The Xenosaga trilogy originally released for PlayStation 2, and the first two games were also ported to Nintendo DS. You don’t need to be a JRPG or Monolith Soft fanatic to be aware…
