Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden are bringing the Game Boy Advance’s sci-fi adventure Scurge: Hive to modern formats. While a DS version exists, it seems reasonable to suggest the dual screen display and touch screen functionality was tricky to replicate on the likes of Xbox One. Surge: Hive was originally developed by Orbital Media and released …
Finally, a hero we can relate to. Mr. Sleepy Man is a 3D platformer that promises to be part fever dream, part love letter to classics of yore. We’re getting Dreamcast era vibes from it, largely due to the chunky character renders. It was first announced during PAX 2024, and is now nearing release on …
Originally published by THQ in 2011 on Xbox 360 and PS3, gory third-person shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is about to storm the Xbox and PC in a new ‘Master Crafted Edition’.

Antstream has teamed up with Xbox Game Studios to bring over 50 classic Activision/Blizzard/Sierra games to a new Retro Classics Xbox app, which has launched today.

Developed by SUCCESS, Sonic Wings Reunion is the latest entry in the Sonic Wings Assault/Aero Fighters series. Multiple physical releases are planned for PS5 and Switch, with details to …
Who launches a new first-person shooter the same day as a new entry in the DOOM franchise? Perun Creative, that’s who. Kvark is gunning for a slightly different audience, mind, being inspired by such classics as Half-Life and Bioshock. Unlike DOOM: The Dark Ages, it’s also available on almost every format: PS5/PS4, Xbox Series/Xbox One, …
Taito’s Spica Adventure, a colourful arcade platformer from 2005, was due a console release in early 2024 but for whatever reason it failed to materialize. It’s now back on the agenda and lined up for a 30th September release digitally. Before that though, on 16th September both Parasol Stars and Spica Adventure are being bundled together …

Microsoft are taking a leaf out of Sony’s book and giving one of their classics a second remaster.

We can expect 4K assets and remastered textures, improved shadows and reflections, …

Next month sees the release of the pirate adventure Trident’s Tale, while the newly announced accessible racer Formula Legends is due later this year on all formats. Although an arcade-like experience, it will still feature …
We’re going back to the PS1 era with Labyrinth of the Demon King, a dungeon crawler with a purposely grimy and low poly 32-bit aesthetic. FromSoftware’s King’s Field games were the biggest influence, we feel. Set in feudal Japan, you play as a foot soldier known as Ashigaru, whose mission is to slay the Demon …
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the industry’s worst kept secret, is out now on Xbox (via Game Pass), PS5 and PC via Steam. This makes a busy week even busier – Xbox Game Pass subscribers already had an RPG to look forward to this week, in the form of the excellent looking Clair Obscur: …
We haven’t heard much from upstart publisher Rock It Games of late, presumably still hard at work on the strategic SPACE INVADERS: Deck Commander – which entered early access on PC last year. The retro focused studio has managed to push a new release out of the door though. Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded is out …
If you enjoyed the recent 2D explorative platformer Shadow of the Orient, or perhaps have an appreciation for the genre as a whole, then you may want to mark 8th May on your calendar – the day the similar looking pixel art endeavour Wings of Endless is set to launch. Due on all formats for …
