The zookeeping sim Planet Zoo launched six years ago today, and it was pretty good: “Another strong (yet stressful) management sim from Frontier Developments,” PC Gamer’s number one menagerie manager Chris Livingston declared in a 75% review. The studio released a six-year anniversary video to celebrate the birthday, which is usually the sort of thing…
Multiple projects are in development. If you haven’t been keeping a close eye on the Tales Of series, Bandai Namco is reviving Tales of Xillia as a remaster next week. So, what about Tales of Xillia 2? Read the full article on nintendolife.com
‘Turrican 128k’ is now available to download. A new fanmade 128k remaster of Turrican‘s Amstrad CPC port is now available, giving the 8-bit home computer version of the classic run ‘n gun adventure game a welcome upgrade for 2025 (thanks IndieRetroNews/SabermanRetroNews).

With the public launch of Windows version 24H2 last year came a security issue that was only ‘resolved’ this week.

Light some fireworks and crack open a bottle of champagne—Dragon Quest 1 and 2 have been reborn in respectfully remastered forms on Steam. These games, so old and basic their first PC ports (to Japan’s MSX in the 1980s) didn’t even have side-facing sprites, are more than merely unmissable 40 years later: they’re foundational works…
Rainbow Six Siege is coming to a PS4 near you from November 15-18 for a Free Weekend, and it’s an excellent chance to try out the strategic first-person shooter for the first time ahead of the release of Operation Wind Bastion, which features two new Operators and a new map.

Hi! We’re called Ice-Pick Lodge, and we’re happy to announce that September 10th will mark the PS4 launch of Knock Knock — a creepy horror game with a rather unusual backstory. What do you, a small-to-mid-sized indie studio, do when an e-mail pops up full of mysterious scribbles, notes, and audio files — coupled with…
This is an Xbo… wait, no. There have been some strong third-party controllers for the Switch 2 so far, with 8BitDo’s Pro 3 proving to be particularly compelling with its SNES-inspired design, TMR stick tech, and tactile (albeit noisy) D-pad. It was, in my opinion, the best alternative if you weren’t keen on splashing out…
Are you a fan of John Marston from Red Dead Redemption? Sure, we all are. But are you a real fan? Perhaps even an OnlyFan? What I’m trying to not-so cleverly announce is that Rob Wiethoff, the actor who voiced John Marston in Red Dead Redemption, has an OnlyFans page now. Hey, as Marston said…
