During today’s Summer Game Fest kickoff show, fresh-faced indie developer Wishfully and SteamWorld Quest publisher Thunderful joined Geoff Keighley to show off their next game, Planet of Lana, which looks absolutely delightful.
You know, I’ve always looked at the Metal Slug series and thought, nice games you got here, but they’d be better if I could just slow down and take my time with all the shooting. So the announcement of Metal Slug Tactics looks...perfect?
From the aging musical acts to the partnership deals with Earth-ruining capitalist empires, there’s a lot to tease about Summer Game Fest. One thing that’s unironically cool? The demo event, which allows Xbox players to play a ton of indie games for free. Following last year’s successful inaugural run, it’ll return…
Most video games based on Vampire: The Masquerade focus on trying to maintain the tenuous peace that’s existed between the various vampire clans for centuries. Free-to-play battle royale Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt is what happens when vampires stop being nice and start getting real. Well, real violent, that…
The Anacrusis was revealed today during Summer Game Fest 2021’s E3 2021 kickoff stream. Stray Bombay, the developer behind the co-op shooter, is an indie studio created by former Valve writer Chet Faliszek.
The folks at From Software dropped a new Elden Ring trailer this afternoon, providing almost three full minutes of gameplay for the previously camera-shy game. And while I’m sure the loremasters and other internet sleuths are deducing clues about the game’s narrative and mechanics as I type, my attention has been…
Last year, amid a mismanaged pandemic and sweeping social distancing regulations, the Entertainment Software Association called off its annual E3 event. But the stretch between late May and early November was positively littered with digital showcases and press conferences. If you followed video games closely, you…

Gearbox officially unveiled a new Borderlands game during Summer Game Fest’s Kickoff Live! event today. It’s not a sequel, nor a prequel, nor a cutesy phrase that honestly just means “prequel.” It’s a proper spin-off called Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, starring Tiny Tina, out early 2022 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4,…

A PlayStation 5 version of last year’s best darts-throwing game is out today in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, which makes that door look prettier (and provides some other snazzy enhancements too, I suppose). Thing is, upgrading from the PS4 to the PS5 version isn’t exactly a no-brainer.

While this week only brings a relatively modest 26 games to the Switch eShop, it also brings Game Builder Garage, an app that can be used to make infinite games. Technically, this might be the biggest Nintendo Download yet. Oh wait nevermind, they counted Ninja Gaiden twice.
Weekly Shonen Jump announced that manga Jujutsu Kaisen will go on hiatus for the time being, starting with the installment slated to appear in the issue going on sale June 21.

From a distance Lego Ideas set 21327, Typewriter, doesn’t look very Lego. With printed pieces for each of its 32 keys, a working typebar mechanism, and a new cloth Lego element replicating a typewriter ribbon, it looks every bit the vintage writing tool it’s meant to emulate.

Grass is green, the sky is blue, and Bobby Kotick is still rich. Earlier this year, Activision halved the CEO’s pay and annual bonus target after he spent years pulling in tens of millions of dollars (even after laying off employees), resulting in sustained pressure from investors. A group representing those…
When Battlefield 2042, the next entry in DICE’s long-running series of first-person shooters, releases this October, it will launch as a multiplayer-only game. Sorry, fans of those War Stories. No campaign this time around.
One of my only complaints about the original release of Final Fantasy VII Remake was the texture pop-in and weird, blurry texture of Cloud’s apartment door in the Sector 7 slums. I am pleased to report that these issues have been resolved in the PlayStation 5 version, though Cloud still refuses to close the damn door.
