The year is 2020, the world is in a very strange place. While we mostly remain home being safe we find comfort in things we might normally not. Some pop culture experiences gained alot of traction due to our starvation for entertainment (see: Tiger King). Fall Guys is the best game to happen at the best time.     The gaming industry is FULL of various Battle Royale style games :(Fortnite, Apex, Rogue Company, COD, Etc) did we really need…

Finally, the answer to the question “Do you have Battletoads?” is an emphatic “Yes!”, at least if you have an Xbox One (or PC) and subscribe to Gamepass (which…c’mon man. If you’ve got an Xbox One, you should have Gamepass).   Anywho: 26 years after the franchise last appeared in the arcades, and 27 years after the last console release, the Battletoads have returned to kick some tail. The game tries to be a lot of different things, and mostly…

Game Freak, known primarily (rightfully so) as developers of the beloved Pokemon series, steps out and creates a new RPG game unlike anything else. Using card based mechanics unlike what we’ve ever seen before with a splash of board game mixed in created an RPG that doesn’t require constant grinding of low level monsters to beat. Truly something unique in the world of wash, rinse, repeat of game development but is unique always good?   The ...

Direct from Darren Bridges Senior Game Designer, Sucker Punch Productions Today I am very excited to reveal Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a new online cooperative multiplayer* mode that will come as a free download for Ghost of Tsushima owners on PS4 later this year.   Legends is an entirely new experience — it’s a separate mode that doesn’t follow Jin or the companions from his journey, but instead focuses on four warriors who have been built up as legends ...

Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror, set in a remote hotel with a macabre history from Welsh folklore. Brave the nightmares of the Quiet Men. When they arrive, do not panic — don’t even breathe. Based on the haunting true story of Elizabeth Williams, you play as Thomas Evans, a musician who is thrust into a terrifying battle to save the woman he loves. Set in 1898 in and around Sker House, a real dwelling that still stands…

Like a bunch of other Hi-Rez studios games, Rogue Company is an online hero shooter, kind of. Game play is your typical over the shoulder third person look with your character having unique perks and abilities exclusive to you. But not quite in the way of other games like Overwatch where it’s a mad dash to unleash your ULT on the competition, this game is much more strategic. Where Rogue Company stands out is in it’s unique formula of a…

Launch sequence initiated: Pikmin 3 Deluxe lands on Nintendo Switch on Oct. 30 REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 5, 2020 – At the far reaches of space lies a mysterious yet oddly familiar alien world … filled with cute creatures, hidden surprises and larger-than-life fun. Clear a landing zone, because the Pikmin 3 Deluxe game is headed to the Nintendo Switch family of systems on Oct. 30. Pikmin 3 originally launched on Wii U, and now it’s making the leap to Nintendo…

The original Destroy All Humans came out in 2005, and became somewhat of a cult game for many players, myself included. The crazy sandbox that was created that allowed mass carnage, mayhem, and fun wasn’t common in games during that era. So when THQ purchased the rights to the IP a few years back, I genuinely got a little excited over the thought of Crypto making a return in an all new adventure. Hopefully taking advantage of all the modern…
