Kirby has a delicious-looking new multiplayer title heading to Switch this summer. Kirby’s Dream Buffet pits friends against each other in a platforming, snack-devouring race. One to four players roll their Kirby through four rounds of food-themed obstacle courses, and whoever collects the most strawberries by the end wins. As seen in the trailer, players can

Ubisoft has removed Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD from Steam as part of a larger online “decommissioning” of several of its titles, most notably on PC. What alarmed owners of the game was a notice by Ubisoft implying that those who purchased it would still lose access in September. Ubisoft has clarified that will not be the

Alongside the Tour De France, I’m riding my own Tour De Jeux, a celebration of cycling in games and in life. Saddle up and join me! I had expected to dislike Riders Republic because Ubisoft’s marketing made the open-world xtreme sports game look like it was about gnarly middle-aged dudes with sikk lingo and twatty

2022 is the year of golf, specifically wacky golf. Cursed To Golf leads the pack: it’s a 2D club ’em up in which you’re attempting to escape golf purgatory with the aid of supernatural power-ups. A new trailer brings news of its release date next month.

Team Fortress 2 has received another update, one which apparently addresses “exploits and stability issues” with Valve’s aging but popular shooter. It’s the second TF2 update in as many weeks after the game’s players began protesting a lack of action to address the large number of exploits plaguing the game.

I swear I saw the logo for Small Claims Court and just thought, yeah, that seems like an indie game. Turns out it wasn’t, it was one of several pieces of “fake game art” created by Valve artist Claire Hummel as part of the Steam summer sale. Now that the sale is over, Hummel shared

Protect the innocent and uphold the law. That’s what Robocop is programmed to do, and you’ll soon get the chance to see the world through his visor in Robocop: Rogue City, a new game from developer Teyon and publisher Nacon. Peter Weller, the actor who became Robocop in the feature film, is reprising his role,

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is getting one of the best, and most underrated, Pokémon games from the Nintendo 64 library in Pokémon Puzzle League next week. On July 15, the Panel de Pon-style, tile-matching puzzle game joins the (gradually) growing roster of classic N64 games. Pokémon Puzzle League launched in 2000 and tells

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum’s long journey to release nears its end, and after getting a release date and story trailer in May, curious fans can finally see what gameplay looks like in a new video.  A short trailer provides a montage of the stealth-oriented gameplay as well as Gollum’s emphasis on climbing and

This is the problem with the cavalcade of games presented during Summer Games Fest: it’s easy to miss the gems among all the other gems. Schim was one I failed to spot entirely, despite our Ed placing it among the best games he played at the event in LA. It’s a bouncy puzzle adventure about

The PlayStation Twitter account posted a small batch of announcements highlighting upcoming indie games headed to PlayStation. While Cult of the Lamb’s impending August 11 release was already confirmed, a few noteworthy reveals and updates should have indie fans on PlayStation excited for the near future and beyond. Here’s a quick rundown of the games making their

Following a scant seven months of availability, The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience will be leaving digital console storefronts on July 9.  According to the Matrix Awakens website, those who add the tech demo to their library on PlayStation 5 and/or Xbox Series X will still be able to launch and mess around

With your help, I’m on a mission to answer the biggest question: what’s the best thing in video games? With a wholly sensical face-off between two things each week, we’ll surely soon discover the absolute best thing. Last time, you decided that secrets behind waterfalls are better than boss battles as skill checks. I’m not

Rockstar have reportedly shelved plans for remasters of Red Dead Redemption and GTAIV after the poor reception of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. The trilogy, which released late last year, was a technical disaster and heavily criticised depsite high sales.

Capcom recently announced a 10-game Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, bundling together the six Game Boy Advance Battle Network titles and the various versions that were originally released. I’m excited by the news because I was worried these excellent spin-offs would never receive a revival like the platforming Mega Man series did a few years

Mary DeMarle, narrative designer and lead writer on Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, and on the more recent Guardians Of The Galaxy, is now senior narrative director at BioWare. The switch comes just a couple of months after Embracer Group bought Eidos Montreal and said they saw potential for Deus Ex spin-offs, sequels

Ubisoft are switching off online services for several older singleplayer games, including Anno 2070, Far Cry 3, Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. For several of those games, that means that as of September 1st, “the installation and access to DLC will be unavailable,” according to an Ubisoft support page.

The Tour De France, the grandest race in professional cycling, started today. Across three weeks, 176 cyclists will ride 3328 kilometres (2068 miles) winding through France, Denmark, Belgium, and Switzerland, including the Alps and Pyrenees. As a keen cyclist and avid Tour watcher myself, I’m excited. So in celebration, over the coming weeks I’ll be

Starting a cult isn’t easy work, but somebody’s got to do it in Massive Monster’s Cult of the Lamb, which hits consoles and PC next month. Fortunately, the team behind the devilishly cute game has released a new trailer with tips and tricks to start, and maintain, the best cult. The first step is simple:

Microsoft, the company that brought us furry Sonic controllers and a Far Cry 6 console that resembled a bomb, has unveiled its latest kooky Xbox Series X sweepstakes, and it may be the coolest/dumbest one yet. Hot on the heels of the premier of Thor: Love and Thunder on July 8, the company is giving

Sucker Punch Productions, the studio behind 2020’s hit new IP Ghost of Tsushima, has revealed it is not working on anything related to its previous Infamous and Sly Cooper franchises. The studio also says that no other developer is working on projects related to the franchises.  This news comes from a new blog post highlighting Sucker Punch’s 25th

There’s no rule, but I try to cover things here that haven’t already been poached by, for example, Graham last year. Sanabi is far too good to overlook, though. I’ve nothing against 2D platformers, but to stand out in such a saturated genre you really need to capture something special. Wonder Potion have more or

Every so often, a game development studio comes up with an idea so good other developers insert it into their games. In Pow Wow Entertainment’s newly announced racer, Stuntfest: World Tour, I’m hoping the unique ejector-seat functionality is so jaw-droppingly incredible that it becomes the next craze. In the game’s first trailer, we see drivers

Sea of Stars, the promising-looking retro RPG from the team behind The Messenger, is the latest title to get pushed out of 2022.  Developer Sabotage posted a message stating it simply wants to polish up the adventure as much as possible without crunching its staff. As we are closing in on a very big milestone

Let’s face facts: the old Sonic games have been re-released more times than I’ve had hot dinners. And every single Sonic fan has bought every single one of them, such is our sheer madness. We’re a little spoiled on PC for Sonic content these days, with every recent game of note having its own PC

Monster Rancher was revived late last year with the release of the Monster Ranger 1&2 DX collection, and Bandai Namco isn’t going to stop there. In fact, the series is going bigger. Much bigger! The first trailer for Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher asks a crucial question, “How would you like to raise your very own

The excellent Kingston Fury Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD has dropped in price on Amazon UK, from its regular price of £143 all the way down to £109.98. That’s a significant reduction and equals the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this drive which is the fastest we’ve ever tested as of February 2022.

The Mighty Thor, Jane Foster’s godly alter ego, swoops into Marvel’s Avengers today. Crystal Dynamics released a pair of videos showcasing her thunder-based abilities, giving fans a look at how she compares to her original male counterpart. Jane arrives as a free character in all versions of Marvel’s Avengers. The narrative explains that Jane was torn from

Simogo are perhaps best known now for power pop rhythm game Sayonara Wild Hearts, but their next game, Lorelei And The Laser Eyes, looks like something of a return to their roots. It’s a mystery game, a puzzle game, set in a baroque manor and – as per everything they make – dripping with style.
