Aspyr are going all-in with their Lucasarts partnership, readying 2000’s STAR WARS Episode I: Jedi Power Battles – originally released on PS1 and Dreamcast – for a re-release. This is one of the older Star Wars games we didn’t expect to see gain a digital dust-off considering review scores at the time were average at best. …
The Switch misses out on Atlus’ acclaimed Metaphor: ReFantazio this week – which is likely being primed for the Switch 2 instead – but fans of the RPG genre aren’t left entirely hanging, with a couple of new arrivals to consider. True to its name, NIS America’s RPG MAKER WITH features many tools and tutorials …
Since its debut in 1993, EA’s FIFA series has been a huge commercial success. It arguably hit the big leagues when the franchise first hit the 32-bit formats, with the new CD-based technology allowing for greater realism and presentation closer to what footie fans saw, and heard, on their TV screens during a typical Saturday …
After escaping from her music box, clockwork majorette Miss Rosen sets about travelling the world in search of people to help. This doesn’t so much involve finding lost items, retrieving cats stuck up trees, and preventing petty crimes as you may expect but rather something rather specific. See, our blonde-haired heroine is a dab hand …
The UK retail chart top ten merely sees a shuffle this week, with no new arrivals. In fact, the top three remains completely unchanged. This means EA Sports FC 25 is the UK’s no.1 for a second week running, followed by Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Astro Bot. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – which is …
eastasiasoft – best known for their weekly indie drops, mostly of the 2D shooter variety – are readying Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition for Steam. Announced for consoles some time ago, the Switch version is about to gain a physical release too. Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition is due out next year, …
In an ideal world, Konami would’ve allowed continued development of Kojima Productions’ Silent Hills and put the franchise back on track some ten years ago, ready to go toe-to-toe with Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes. Skip forward to this week, and the Japanese publisher has made the first steps at putting things right – the Silent …
The handful of Five Nights at Freddy’s spin-offs released so far seem just as popular as the main entries. As such, it was inevitable that a retro-style pixel art horror adventure would surface at some point. This task has fallen onto Mega Cat Studios, best known for creating and publishing a slew of modern Mega …
The Switch eShop is quieter than usual this week, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing considering Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Disney Epic Mickey and EA SPORTS FC 25 launched just days ago. SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream is the week’s biggest release and by some margin. This Bandai Namco published co-op action battler celebrates …
Sales of physical Switch games may be relatively strong compared to other formats, but not even The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was able to stop EA from scoring a no.1 in the UK retail chart with EA Sports FC 25. The Switch top twenty shows a different version of events though, with Echoes …
Bandai Namco’s We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie rolled onto Xbox Game Pass during the Tokyo Game Show, arriving alongside two belated RPG conversions from Square-Enix. The timing and pairing with new titles made me briefly believe it was debuting on Xbox after leaping from the Switch. But no – We Love Katamari REROLL launched …
Gori by name, gory by nature. Despite the titular star being a soft-centred ginger moggy, this hoverboard-based hack ‘n slasher cranks up the crassness. Said method of transport is equipped with swirling blades that turn adversaries into meaty chunks, and the dialogue is littered with f-bombs and other obscenities. The whole shebang is carried by …
Spooky season is upon us, and while we’ve seen more horror games than usual over the past couple of weeks, Sony officially kicks October off with their PS5/PC release of Until Dawn. The 2015 horror slasher has been rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5 and now includes a re-cut narrative and new locations. A third-person camera …
The Digital Eclipse developed Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration has this week gained the first of two paid DLC expansions. The Wider World of Atari will set you back $7.99 and features 19 games, along with eight videos and a bunch of vintage ads and other artefacts spread across a new timeline. The team managed …
A sports package starring the charismatic Looney Tunes isn’t much of a stretch of the imagination. I’m not referring to Space Jam here, but rather the lineage of Looney Tunes sports games for consoles of yore. The last wasn’t even all that long ago, with Sony themselves picking up the rights to publish the PS …
