The Switch gains a trio of big hitters this week, including the timed console exclusive The House of the Dead: Remake. Just like the Panzer Dragoon Remake, it comes from Polish publisher Forever Entertainment, rather than SEGA itself. And just like that game, reviews have been wildly mixed. It’s able to deliver a hit of …
It has been said that the newest Evercade cartridge is a response to fans demanding more obscure and lesser-known games for the retro-centric handheld. We’d say it was inevitable that manufacturer Blaze would have to look further afield at some point. There’s only a finite amount of hand-me-down Atari and NES arcade conversions out there, …
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 …
We’ve seen a few games lately with interesting backstories. There was Yeah Yeah Beebiss II, a sequel to a non-existent NES game, and the Quest for Glory homage Quest for Infamy – a love letter to PC adventure games series that flips the premise on its head. Now here’s Andro Dunos II – a sequel …
Nintendo’s loveable pink blob has claimed a second week at no.1 within the UK all-formats physical chart. With the anticipated LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga out this week, Kirby and the Forgotten Land seems unlikely to bag a third week at the top of the chart. There’s always a chance it will return, though …
When LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was officially announced during E3 2019, nobody could have guessed it wouldn’t arrive until three years later. Then again, nobody could have predicted a global pandemic either. Not only has Covid held up the project but getting to grips with a new engine too. At the time of …
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 …
Another week, another new JRPG for Switch. Where we’re meant to find the time to play them all is anyone’s guess. NIS America’s Crystar appears to be worthy of your valuable time, at least, with review scores mostly clocking in at 7/10. It also includes all the DLC from the PS4 version while arriving at …
Ambition is a great driving force. How many people who have achieved truly great things in this world would’ve done so without their ambition? But when asked about my ambitions, I’m always a little coy about the answer. Where it’s common for many people to wish for fame, I’m the opposite. Infamy, after all, is …
This week’s physical sales chart reveals Kirby and the Forgotten Land had the biggest ever launch of any Kirby game in the UK. GI.biz reports launch sales were 2.5 higher than the previous record holder – 2018’s Kirby Star Allies – and that first week sales alone make it the 5th bestselling Kirby game in …
After two surprisingly busy months, the industry reverts into a lull – April’s biggest releases can be counted on one hand, with LEGO Star Wars, Chrono Cross, and the Switch’s House of the Dead Remake arriving next week and then very little until Nintendo Switch Sports at the end of the month. Unless you count …
It’s fair to say Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the most anticipated game in the pink blob’s history, with past Kirby games – save perhaps for Kirby’s Epic Yarn – generating only a minor buzz. Kirby games have always been aimed at a younger audience, which makes Forgotten Land the exception – backed by …
This isometric adventure shares similarities with Nintendo’s recent Link’s Awakening remake, borrowing its soft visual style and central premise of a tunic-clad hero waking on a mysterious island. A great power dwells nearby, but to find and wield it correctly, three magical keys must be obtained from the island’s furthest reaches – Tunic’s equivalent of …
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 …
