American Gladiators on NES will give you a Gladiator Spanking

Between 1989 and ‘96 was the best time to be alive. We ate sugar for breakfast, groceries were affordable, and the internet as we know it today didn’t really exist. Mark my words, the world started going to shit afterAmerican Gladiatorswent off the air. The show almost feels like the embodiment of how excessive and unself-aware the time period was. Big ‘roided up guys and ladies in spandex with radical names battling the general public in colorful and ridiculous feats of strength....

Battlefield 2042 is a big step in the right direction with 128-player battles

First impressions of the multiplayer-only game Ahead of E3 2021 this morning, DICE lifted the lid onBattlefield 2042, a not-too-futuristic successor to 2018’s World War II game,BattlefieldV, with 128-player support. After recently attending a hands-off reveal event, I’ve gotta say, I like what I’m seeing and hearing — conceptually, this could be a “return to form” for fans who enjoyed the recent WWI and WWII bouts but ultimately missed the flow and feel of more modern combat....

Before GameTrailers shut down, it re-scored Bloodborne a perfect ten

Its first ten ever The games industry was saddened yesterday to hear of theclosing of GameTrailers, a media staple for the past 13 years. People like to say “it’s the end of an era” anytime anything popular ends, but the phrase actually feels apt in this instance. GameTrailers’ business model revolved around creating original video content; that doesn’t sound noteworthy in 2016 but was an incredibly bold move in 2002. It trusted its foresight and intuition enough to pursue the video format despite technological limitations screaming that this isn’t the smart money....

Can you play Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy?

It was “canceled for the season” in the in-game universe If you were hoping that Quidditch would beHogwarts Legacy‘s answer to Blitzball inFinal Fantasy X: think again! The developers have clarified ahead of time that the popular wizarding sport would not be present inHogwarts Legacy, but thanks to the game’s opening moments, we know why (story-wise, at least).

Sure to be a streaming hit Capcom promised more details aboutProject Resistanceat Tokyo Game Show and it delivered.

As the Mastermind, this adversarial player will be able to set traps for the survivors, unleash zombies, and take control of the entity known as the Tyrant....

Catapult for Hire sends its jetpack bunnies to PAX

Probably its fishing parachute robot cannonballs too At first glance,Catapult for Hireisn’t much to look at. Developer PixelMEGA describes it as a “mix of gameplay that hearkens back to N64 era fun,” and the influence is clearly there in the graphics. However, if you watch the video above, you can see a really unique set of ideas that makes absolutely no sense in the best way possible. Attach a rocket to a rabbit, fire it from your catapult, and use it to explore new areas....
