Trains Crash Through Empty Worlds In My New Favorite Racing Game
16.7.2021
Trains are good. I don’t know how else to describe them other than, yeah, pretty good. But I’m not really into the serious train simulation or tycoon genres. No, I need something with more speed. Something with velocity. Something that lets me twist and turn, knocking rival trains off the rails...
Skyward Sword HD Might Make You Actually Like Motion Controls
16.7.2021

15.7.2021
Resident Evil Village was meant to launch with a multiplayer mode, Resident Evil Re:Verse. In April this year, after some not great open betas, Capcom announced it would be delayed until July.

Gundam Overwatch Would Be A More Accurate Title, I Guess
15.7.2021
Today, Bandai Namco announced a new Mobile Suit Gundam game. It’s called Gundam Evolution, but honestly, Gundam Overwatch would have been better. Of course, Bandai Namco can’t name it that, because Overwatch is owned by Blizzard. But Gundam Evolution definitely looks like Gundam meets Overwatch...

Nier: Automata's Broken Steam Version Will Finally Be Updated This Week
14.7.2021
Nier: Automata’s PC port was a disaster, one so bad we’ve written headlines about it like “It’s Ridiculous That Nier: Automata Still Hasn’t Been Patched On PC”, and then when Square Enix seemed unwilling (or unable) to fix it “Fan Creates Patch To Fix Nier: Automata’s Graphics.”Read more
