Team Cherry fans will regretfully agree that we know precious little aboutHollow Knight: Silksongat this time, a whopping six years after the game’s original announcement.

There are layers upon layers of memes and sheer desperation to be uncovered here, and honestly, they’re not for the faint of heart. To begin with, it’s important to keep in mind that Team Cherry, the developer ofHollow Knight, hasn’t exactly been forthcoming with information aboutSilksong....

80% Jet Grind Radio, 20% Pokemon Jet Grind Radiois my favorite game of all time. I don’t care that people think it no longer holds up — its place is solidified in my mind as number one.

Creepy thermal imaging I’ve heard ofNoct. Looked at it. Read about it. But, somehow, I didn’t realize until today that it’s built for multiplayer. Publisher Devolver Digital even describes it as “a 2D top-down multiplayer survival horror game.” While you can play alone, that’s not how it’s being pitched. Interesting. Noctreleases fairly soon for Windows, Mac, and Linux and I do love the thermal-imaging aesthetic in this creepy context. Leading into the August 02, 2025 launch, we’ve got a fresh trailer and news that the soundtrack is scored by Worldclock and Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck....

That’s pretty freaking cool. The only sign I know is what friends have taught me. I know diarrhea and some sex ones. Actually, I know a lot of the offensive ones. A recently published patent confirms that Microsoft’s Kinect will be able to read ASL (American Sign Language). And, if you suck at signing, you’re able to just talk and it can read lips. How cool is that? The best part is this section of the patent description, which basically says you can taunt in-game, via sign:...

Ascaught by Kotaku,you can already play the masterful remake ofSilent Hill 2without the series’ ever-present and all-engulfing fog. Behold, the marvel: Though Team Silent originally came up with it just to circumvent the PS1’s hardware limitations, the fog present inSilent Hillended up becoming the series’ most iconic element. I’d argue it’s even one of gaming’s most iconic visual elements, overall. Removing the fog from any of theSilent Hillgames seems like shooting yourself in the foot with a bazooka, especially since the volumetric fog in the newSilent Hill 2is one of the most amazing visual effects ever seen in a game....
