Mega Drive/Genesis first-person shooter Zero Tolerance is about to receive a re-release on consoles via PIKO Interactive and QUByte Classics. Originally released in 1993, Zero Tolerance was developed by Technopop – a studio that also created invaluable tools for Genesis developers, working closely with SEGA. As such, they had a very good understanding of how …
Considering how ludicrous it looks, Gori: Cuddly Carnage isn’t too tricky to describe. It’s a ‘skate ‘n slasher’ in which a foul-mouthed feline hoverboards around neon-hued environments while dismembering sinister toys. A melting pot of blood, toys, glitter, fur, and cuteness. Or a mixture of Sunset Overdrive and Conker’s Bad Fur Day, if you will. …
Demon Turf – Playtonic Friends’ colourful 3D platformer with 2D characters – has received an inexpensive spin-off, available now on the Switch eShop and Steam for £4.99. Demon Turf: Neon Splash sees Beebz and her friends stuck in a surreal, neon-coloured, painting. It’s a combat-free experience based around speedrunning and traversal, which also allows players …
The seminal side-scrolling platformer Pac-Land gained an Arcade Archives re-release today. Those with eagle eyes will have spotted that Ms. Pac-Man is looking a little different. Gone is her trademark red bow, replaced with a dashing pink bonnet and matching pink shoes. This alteration is seemingly down to a long-running dispute between AtGames and Namco, …
ININ Games’ Taito Milestones is the next retro collection on the agenda, and it’s less than two weeks away – American and European Switch owners can expect it on 15th April. It’s set to provide ten classics from Taito’s vault, and as the name suggests, the collection is intended to be a celebration of milestones …
Prolific publisher NIS America revealed four new games during a recent live stream. Acquire’s PS2 stealth adventure Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief heads to PS4, Switch, and PC this autumn, marking the first time it has gained a western release. Playing as a thief out to save their family, your actions will impact the storyline …
FiolaSoft Studio has lifted the lid on Matcho – an intriguing blend of first-person shooting and match-three puzzling, with a sci-fi storyline and a side-line of parkour. Powered by the Unreal 4 Engine, it sees Max – a 25-year-old – fleeing from an underground laboratory after scientists have spent eight years trying to “cure†his …
IllFonic, creators of Predator: Hunting Grounds and Friday The 13th: The Game, have revealed the similarly multiplayer-focused Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Set after the events of Ghostbusters Afterlife, it sees a new team of Ghostbusters taking advice from Winston and Ray – voiced by Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd – before heading out on missions. The firehouse HQ …
Here’s some news we didn’t expect to see – Lawn Mowing Simulator is about to gain Dino Safari DLC. Then again, the fact that a lawn mowing sim exists to begin with is rather unexpected. Sadly, we aren’t in for scenes of primaeval carnage and destruction – it simply takes place in a theme park …
Konami is coming out of their shells to deliver Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection! – that’s their exclamation mark there, not ours, although we are considerably excited. This is quite the undertaking for developer Digital Eclipse. Thirteen 8-bit and 16-bit games are included, alongside their Japanese versions. A museum of never-before-seen development art, sketches and …
PIKO Interactive has just finished dusting off the 1998 cult classic platformer Glover for a HD PC re-release. Based on the N64 version’s source code – and not the largely detested PSone iteration – it’s due out 20th April on Steam, complete with trading cards and achievements. Here, you play as a magical wizard’s glove …
Previously known as Trading Time: A Croak Tale, the newly rebranded Time on Frog Island – a name publisher Merge Games believes better suits the experience – will now be launching physically as well as digitally. Those who played Link’s Awakening may notice a similarity with the premise. After washing on a strange island, our …
Bandai-Namco’s PAC-MAN MUSEUM+ looks set to become the most comprehensive Pac-Man collection yet, even including a revised version of the Nintendo DS’s underrated Pac ‘n Roll. Launching 27th May, and now confirmed for an Xbox GamePass launch, this multi-format collection will contain 14 classic and modern games, along with a customisable in-game arcade. New items, wallpapers, …
Jeff Minter’s Tempest 4000 – originally released on PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2018 – comes to Switch and Atari’s own VCS console at the end of March. We never reviewed the original (we were waiting on the UK physical release, which was constantly delayed) but we did cover it during a ‘Games You …
The announcement of a Wonder Boy collection should be a cause celebration – few ‘80s gaming mascots could boast catalogue anywhere near as diverse – but we can’t help to feel a little sceptical about this one. There aren’t many games on the new collection that aren’t available elsewhere. Sega Vintage Collection: Monster World is …
