As much as we enjoyed the Evercade’s first Sunsoft Collection, it did seem a light on content, only offering six games compared to the usual eight or ten. Sunsoft Collection 2 looks set to make up for that, with seven titles – including a new localised version of the Game Boy’s Pri Pri Primitive Princess, …
Just to prove how fragile the UK retail charts are these days, last week retailer Argos was giving away a free copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II when purchasing an Xbox controller, seemingly resulting in the 2022 shooter returning to #6 in the all formats chart and bounce back to no.1 in the …
Like the recent Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull and Bones has also been a long time coming, originally announced during E3 2017 and in development since 2013 – where it started life as an AC: Black Flag spin-off. Ubisoft has allegedly blown over $120 million on this project, which may explain why it’s …
Ahead of its looming 28th March release date, Retro Games Ltd and PLAION have confirmed the twenty-five titles pre-installed on the Atari 400 Mini, aka The400 Mini. While the amount may seem a little low when compared to other mini consoles, the The400 does offer USB game loading – with support for cart, disk, and …
With a name like ‘Mustache in Hell’ it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to discover this twin-stick shooter has a comical tone. Our hirsute hero – known as John Mustache – is likened to a certain ‘80s American action TV show star, and wakes up one morning in Hell. Upon being confronted by …
If the idea of a throwback horror adventure appeals, you’re in luck – the Switch gains two this week. Alisa Developer’s Cut has pre-rendered backdrops with low poly characters, warped humour, and typically ‘90s voice acting. Cannibal Abduction is low poly too, and appears gorier due to being based around a loose serial killer. This …
After catching wind that Dungeonoid 2 combines dungeon crawling with Arkanoid style brick breaking, I figured it would play like an 8-bit Zelda game, ushering players from one single-screen dungeon room to the next while paddling balls into enemies, chests, switches, etc. You can imagine my surprise, then, to discover that it’s an auto-scrolling affair …
There’s no skirting around it: Brotato is clearly inspired by the hit auto-shooter Vampire Survivors, tasking you to survive 20 waves of enemies while shrewdly investing in perks and upgrades. There’s no need to decree blatant plagiarism here though, as Brotato is so refined and well balanced – as well as being rich with content …
Life’s a funny old thing. Last week I was lamenting the lack of a new Geometry Wars, this week I’m excited for a new spiritual successor. Geometry Survivor, as it’s known, isn’t far off either, due 21st Feb on all formats. A demo of the Steam version is now available to coincide with Steam Fest …
Forever Entertainment has confirmed that Night Slashers: Remake is coming to all current formats – PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic. That’s both the PS4 and PS5, plus the Xbox One and Xbox Series, if you’re wondering. This news doesn’t come as a huge surprise. We haven’t covered Night Slashers: Remake before …
It seems reasonable to suggest the development of the retro-inspired Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is being wrapped up. In addition to announcing a March release date on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch, publisher The MIX Games has confirmed that a Steam demo is imminent as part of Steam Next Fest. The console versions feature 8-bit style …
Just to prove how cluttered the release schedule is right now, the UK chart has a new no.1 for the second week running. This time it’s the turn of WB’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which tops not just the all formats top 40 but both the PS5 and Xbox Series charts too. The …
The week encompassing Valentine’s Day is exceptionally busy for new releases. This week? Pretty good if you’re a PlayStation owner, with both Sony’s fast-paced co-op sci-fi shooter Helldivers 2, and Square-Enix’s 4v4 Splatoon-esque foam-party battler Foamstars due. The latter is set to make a splash on PS Plus at launch and appears to have come …
Have you ever stepped into an arcade and become instantly overwhelmed by flashing lights, bright colours, and loud noises? CRT screens flicker, speakers warble and neon signs pulsate. I’m not sure if it was intentional but Go Mecha Ball taps into the same energy. It’s set in a world with walls formed from TV screens, …
The first payday of 2024 is imminent for many, and the Switch eShop has a new line-up of games ready and waiting. Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is the only new title hitting both the eShop and retail this week. This 2 vs. 2 brawler is the first console game based on the Weekly Shonen Jump …
