Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted rolled out in October, and I thought it was pretty good: Really just a higher-resolution (and more expensive) version of the original PvZ phenomenon, sure, but fine overall, and of particular benefit for people who want to play the game on a Steam Deck. Serious fans were unhappy, though, for a…
In a new trailer at the Six One Indie Showcase, Origame Digital showed off its first trailer for Penguin Colony, a horror game where you play as a little penguin, and the studio revealed that the game will be anchored by a performance from Lenval Brown, the narrator of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. We…
Blockheads. Remember how many people within the games industry swore blind that Web 3 gaming would be the future? It hasn’t quite panned out that way, of course, but there are some who are still chipping away at the rockface, one of which is embattled French publisher Ubisoft. It has just released Captain Laserhawk: The…
Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly up there in the hall of fame of killer RPG companions—not just because he’s literally a killer as a vampire, but because he’s a nuanced, complicated character performed by a very talented actor. It’s no shock that Neil Newbon, who played him in Larian’s finest, received awards for…
Luke, Jamie, Kimberly, and 22 amiibo cards. Following on from the Street Fighter amiibo in the Super Smash Bros. line, Capcom is releasing three new amiibo figures and a series of cards alongside Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 – and they’re out on 5th June 2025, the same day as the console itself. Jamie,…
One of the significant differences between most historical Total Wars and the Warhammer games is that the factions aren’t comparable with nations. In Total War: Warhammer 40,000, the Space Marines and Astra Militarum, for instance, are effectively two branches of the same military. So when I was playing Total War 40k at Gamescom as the…
There’s nothing quite like setting up a custom, intricate hell maze in a level editor, sending it to friends, and watching as they trounce it with minimal effort. Turnbound, which debuted at today’s PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, is boxing up that unique brand of shame and delivering it to your door in the form…
Gems are hard to come by, but maybe a 99 Nights in the Forest class tier list will spare you from making any bad, hasty decisions while browsing the class shop. I’ve survived well over 1,000 days against the Deer, Crossbow Cultists, and all manner of event creatures—so I’ve definitely got some thoughts on what…

We got what I would call our first proper look at some Persona 4 Revival last weekend, showing iconic moments like: The Scooby gang falling into their first TV, Charlie summoning Izanagi for the first time, karaoke with Yosuke (pretty sure that’s new, unless I’m forgetting a Golden addition), and Marie being annoying in the…
