Much like the recent RoboCop: Unfinished Business, 2K’s Mafia: The Old Country is launching at a low price point – albeit of around £40 rather than £50-£60. IGN reports of a 10–12-hour playtime for the main campaign, which is set in the 1900s, with scope for additional exploration. The campaign is said to be more …
Remember the Xbox 360’s peculiar assortment of RPGs? I’m not talking about the likes of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, financed by Microsoft to help change the console’s destiny in Japan, but rather European-developed RPGs such as Two Worlds, Risen, Divinity II, Venetica, and Arcania: Gothic 4. They’re connected not just by genre, more often …
Retro Games’ full size modern Amiga console is currently caught up in a legal battle. In the meantime, PLAION and Retro Games are set to revisit the THEC64 Mini. THEC64 mini – Black Edition is a tribute to the underground C64 scene, featuring 25 modern retro games, many of which have been highly praised by …
It’s Pac-Man’s 45th anniversary, so it makes perfect sense that PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC has been announced for later this year. There isn’t long to wait either, with a 26th September release date confirmed. Developed by Now Production Co, the aim here is to bring back the 2002 original with quality-of-life improvements, expanded stages, and …
Coming as a pleasant surprise, Bandai Namco has announced a new entry in the much-loved Katamari series. This marks the first brand new title in fourteen years. Like before, Once Upon A Katamari sees the prince rolling up all manner of objects to recreate stars missing from the cosmos. This time however there’s a time …
A Nintendo Direct is due tomorrow and it seems reasonable to suggest that at least one new Switch 2 title will ‘shadow drop’ during the show. Call of Duty: Warzone, Hi-Fi Rush or a native version of LEGO Harry Potter Collection are our best guesses. The Switch 2 is in for a bit of action …
In a tale as old as laminate flooring, a mischievous puppy discovers the joy in shaking off mud in their owner’s brand new, freshly cleaned, home. This naughtiness doesn’t end with just a few muddy footprints on the kitchen floor, however. While their doting owner is asleep, our Pomeranian pal sets about coating the entire house …
Anyone going into Killing Floor 3 will likely have a good idea of what to expect, with its premise not exactly being a great stretch of the imagination. This is true not just for Killing Floor 2 veterans, but anyone who has dived into the world of co-op zombie slaying before. Playing as a team …
The retro classic Kevin Toms Football Star Manager, originally released in 1982 on the ZX Spectrum before being converted to a plethora of formats, gains a remake next month on Steam. It appears to be the recent mobile version, only now with additional improvements. Nostalgia forms the core of an experience that blends simplicity with subtle …
After just one week at no.1, Donkey Kong Bananza has been dethroned by Mario Kart World in the latest UK retail chart. This shouldn’t be a huge surprise considering MKW is the Switch 2’s pack-in and Bananza’s glowing reviews will have attributed to an increase in console sales. Making way for Mario, Donkey Kong Bananza …
The summer releases show no signs of slowing, with a few more sizzlers lined up for this week. Survival adventure sequel Grounded 2 is about to come out the woodwork, developed by Obsidian with help from Eidos Montréal. The new public park setting is said to be far larger than the original’s suburban backyard, now requiring …
At a time when video game pricing and preservation are making headlines, it’s refreshing to see a publisher putting out a modestly priced new release that’s available both digitally and at retail on day one. It isn’t as if we’ve seen many single-player first-person shooters of late either, with DOOM: The Dark Ages, Atomfall, and …
It’s the busiest week for the Switch 2 since launch, with four new games due. In a year from now this amount will seem laughable, but as time machines are yet to exist, here we are. The timing is however questionable as Donkey Kong Banaza doubtlessly has Switch 2 owners entranced. 2023’s Wild Hearts gains …
Over the past few years, QUByte has been picking retro games from Piko’s extensive catalogue and pairing them together for inexpensive digital collections. Results have been somewhat mixed, as while the games chosen are reasonably well known within retro gaming circles, many are far from being considered classics. This new collection sees six previously re-released …
