Much like Atari 50, Digital Eclipse’s own Tetris Forever is a collection being built piece by piece. The latest update to the brick falling marathon includes Spectrum HoloByte’s Welltris, a PC game from 1989, created by Alexey Pajitnov, that sees Tetris pieces descend into a 3D well. This marks the first time it has seen …
The only thing worse than an avalanche of ice and snow is an avalanche of shovelware on the Switch eShop. Brace yourselves – we’re in for a rough time. A really peculiar mixture of limp-looking military shooters, near identical shop simulators, cheap-to-produce hidden object games…and something called Airbourne Grannies. We haven’t seen this much AI …
In this digital age, gaming is almost synonymous with Christmas. There’s no better time of year for the younger generation to ask their parents for a new game console, gaming credit vouchers, or an assortment of new releases. For the older generation, Christmas also represents a time to catch up on games they may have …
The UK’s top ten retail chart has seen a slight shuffle ahead of Christmas. There’s still a dearth of new entries though, meaning pirate RPG Flint: Treasure of Oblivion was a no-show. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has retaken the top spot, up two places. Hogwarts Legacy held onto #2 while EA Sports FC …
It’s business as usual on the Switch eShop this week with dozens of games due, albeit many of dubious quality. It’s that time of year alright. Over on the Xbox Store and PSN things are predictably quiet, with just a handful of publishers vying to get their games on the digital storefronts over the lucrative …
It’s easy to forget that the SEGA Dreamcast was the most technically advanced console available when it launched, making the PSone and N64 look considerably dated in comparison. Sonic Adventure initially wowed gamers and critics alike, featuring heavily in marketing campaigns. Later during the console’s short life titles such as Metropolis Street Racer and Shenmue …
We were expecting eastasiasoft’s RPG Tokyo Clanpool this week, but Nintendo had other ideas, blocking its release due to suggestive themes. It may need to be censored to make it through Nintendo’s refreshed certification process, which is reportedly stricter than before. If you’re curious, the GOG PC release is still going ahead. This has definitely …
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that a Legacy of Kain franchise revival has been a long time coming. The series comprises of five games (and one scrapped online spin-off) with combined sales estimated at 3.5 million, yet we’ve seen remasters of PS2 era licensed platformers and even the notoriously bad …
Here’s something unexpected. While Highway Police Simulator lives up to its name, featuring the ability to attend emergencies and assess situations before issuing warnings or making arrests, what we have here is a story driven affair. The tutorial kicks off this crime-ridden tale, featuring an explosion on a prison bus – making for a dramatic …
After a couple of quiet weeks, the UK retail chart finally sees some new arrivals. The belated PS5 physical release of Black Myth: Wukong entered at #7, while also taking a respectable #3 in the PS5 top ten. The Xbox’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle debuted at #18 in the all formats chart, meanwhile. …
While new releases are lined up for next week, including a tactical Star Trek battler set to launch on Christmas Day, this week pretty much sees the last noteworthy scheduled releases. Even Xbox Wire is done with this year, making the current new release round-up their last of 2024. PSVR2 owners have two titles to …
Publisher Dotemu (best known for Shredder’s Revenge and Streets of Rage 4) are teaming up with Blasphemous developers The Game Kitchen to create a new 2D Ninja Gaiden. Due out next summer on all formats, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound stars new hero Kenji Mozu, a young ninja. The story is set alongside the first game, with Ryu …
Capcom revealed not one but two future projects at The Game Awards, both of which are long requested sequels. Hideki Kamiya is returning to direct an Ōkami follow up, a collaborative effort between M-TWO Inc, Machine Head Works Inc, and CLOVERS Inc. Details are thin on the ground, with yesterday’s trailer being a mere teaser. Hideki …
Beating the odds, we’ve somehow gained a Dog Man game before a gaming adaptation based on fellow children’s book stalwarts Captain Underpants and Diary of a Wimpy Kid – both of which have gained silver-screen counterparts. The fact that a Dog Man film from DreamWorks is just around the corner likely had something to do …
Saber Interactive are, somewhat appropriately, bringing back Turok. One of the original Turok games had Sabretooth tigers, right? Turok: Origins is a complete reimagining of the franchise, opting for co-op speedy third-person shooting for up to three players. Melee attacks, ranged weapons, and special abilities will feature. Additionally, DNA from defeated enemies can be infused …
