I mostly enjoyed RoboCop: Rogue City when it launched in 2023, by far the best of developer Teyon’s roster of licensed shooters based on classic ’80s action films. It did have one amusing problem as an FPS though, namely that RoboCop’s signature Auto 9 was so good it made virtually every other available weapon redundant….
“What if we recreated this game in that engine?” is a classic modding conceit, up there with “What if Stalker was even more miserable?” and “What if this character had no clothes on?”. In fact, I’m surprised it’s taken 25 years for someone to stick Halo‘s multiplayer into Half-Life. It’s the sort of harebrained scheme…
Microsoft axed the studio behind the new project this week.

Go on, tell us. We’ve now been glued to our Switch 2 for a whole month, and it’s got us wondering how much mileage our community has gotten out of the new game Mario Kart World. While it might not be the launch title everyone was hoping for, it’s still packed with plenty of things…
It’s beyond a cliche to point out that games’ TV and film adaptations consistently sucked for decades before there were any good ones, and frankly, it’s getting harder to remember that time. One of the best examples of how things have gotten better in recent years is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners—or as I like to remember it,…
There’s a term in tabletop gaming: “beer and pretzels.” It’s an epithet you’ll find tacked on to any game best played with unserious intentions and inebriants aplenty. I’ve described Deep Rock Galactic to friends as a “beer and pretzels” sort of horde shooter, so I don’t know why it never occurred to me that one…
Ratatan, the spiritual successor to the wonderful PSP rhythm game Patapon, turned up at the PC Gaming Show earlier this year to reveal a new trailer, as well as a demo on Steam and an early access release date of July 25. But with that date now just a few weeks away, developer TVT Co….
