Elden Ring’s co-op focused spinoff, Nightreign, is set to release sometime in 2025, but thanks to Nightreign’s official website, we now know that its pre-launch network test will be held in February. The bad news is that it looks like this test will only be accessible on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. On the official…
I love pinball interviews. Kudos to all of the podcasters and content makers who conduct them because they’re a lot of work. George Gomez is one of the best interviews in the industry. Besides the fact that he’s a great guy, I almost always learn interesting things that I never knew before when I listen…
Silksong has rapidly outpaced Elden Ring in terms of the amount of copium—a fun little portmanteau of ‘cope’ and ‘opium’—its fanbase has had to generate to keep its heart pumping after six whole years. A recent developer tweet saw the hive buzzing, but alas, the fanbase has been let down once again. While plumbing the…
Konami-coded. Back in the 1980s, and more specifically 1987, Contra in its original coin-op form was a game so awe-inspiring in its action, its graphics, and its weapons (you never forget you first spreader) that everyone who was anyone — which meant I was out from the get-go– was to be found down their local…
Helldivers 2, a solid third-person co-op shooter about blasting bugs, has been doing damn well for itself—too well, in fact, slamming right into the ceiling of Steam’s global top sellers chart like a kid who didn’t expect mentos to mix with coke quite so explosively. As a result, there have been some hefty server and…
I’ve seen pretty much everything in this industry over the years. And, yes, that does include a man eating his own head. But Intel and TSMC going into the chip foundry business together? Sorry, what? This rumour, and it very much is a rumour, comes from an equities analyst at investment bank Baird who cited…
It was 2015—10 years ago—that we called Nuclear Throne “a crowning achievement for Vlambeer, and one of the finest action-roguelikes ever made” in our 90% review. Seven years later, in 2022, we said it was still the best roguelike around. And now, in 2025, eight years after its last update, Nuclear Throne has suddenly sprung…
In the not-so-distant future, a rogue AI has taken control of earth and enslaved humanity. On their 18th birthday, every human is given one chance to earn their freedom by playing and defeating the AI at their favorite game: Holoball. Equipped with only a paddle and your own skill, do you have what it takes…
Here’s what the critics had to say. This week sees the arrival of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars on the Switch and multiple other platforms. The reviews are now rolling in for this two-in-one Konami offering, and if you are still not sure if this collection is right…
Creative Assembly has outlined its plans for Total War: Warhammer 3’s next patch, and it seems the mid-March update will see a slight change in direction for how the studio approaches updating its fantasy strategy mashup. Patch 6.1 will bring a renewed focus on tuning what’s already in the game rather than adding more stuff…
