Not lime green As an enormous fan ofEnslaved, I am excited for Ninja Theory’s newly announcedHellblade, but it’s not all Ninja Theory had been cooking up. The team was working onRazer(Xbox One, PS4, PC) with a publisher, but it was never green lit. Because Ninja Theory owns the IP, however, this normally never released information can all come out. You can check it outin full here. All of this stuff is not originally intended for the public, so it’s kind of neat....

Errbody in the club gettin’ Wang Chung tonight After the greatness that wasRise of the Triad, I’m kind of on an old-school FPS kick right now.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacrelaunches its next update today, Jul 29, 2025, and players irritated by those long lobby queues may see some relief. Patch notesfor today’s quick fixes add a lot of little tweaks that add up to big changes. Notably, Gun and Sumo Digital took out the lobby timer that was added in a previous update following community backlash. Sumo intended to give players more time to fill lobbies, but the patch notes seems to acknowledge it backfired:...

Oh, Kojima! Kojima had been hinting around at something known as the “Metal Gear Collection 2014” for a few weeks now. Naturally, the internet was abuzz with rumors that it could actually be HD remakes of the previous games likeHalo’s Master Chief Collection. Imagine everyone’s surprise when it was revealed to be a clothing line packed with T-shirts, jackets, and other items emblazoned withMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painimagery....

On that date we’ll be getting the game on Switch, Windows 10 and Xbox One.

I know, I know, calling the PlayStation “retro” is up for debate, buta few months agoI decided to make it official: the original PlayStation and the Nintendo 64 are retro consoles in my mind. I can’t really explain the reasoning behind that decision, but that is the way it is going to be in my dolphin, rainbow, butterfly-filled universe. I hope you’re able to respect that. This week’s quiz is all about original scare-fest,Resident Evilfor thePlayStation....

Backbone One and Game Pass streaming are a match made in heaven While attaching the PlayStation-branded Backbone One to my phone, I immediately felt some serious nostalgia. It took me back to the good old days of gaming on the troubled and misunderstood PlayStation Vita — Sony’s last swing at a dedicated handheld device. Thankfully, Sony hasn’t completely deserted mobile gaming fans, and hasteamed up with Backboneto create the latest Backbone accessory controller for iPhone....

I’d play something like it In a new video series from Square Enix’s Tokyo RPG Factory where they answer fan questions, the developed focused on a very special one —where’s the sequel?! Well, they went ahead and confirmed it — it’s not happening. Tokyo RPG Factory notes that this was kind of a one-off project, and “it’s own complete game.” Yet, they explained that they would like to make other games based on the “’90s RPG” aesthetic, so there’s hope....

The shirts look like iron-on transfers, actually Harajuku’s LHP fashion shop is displaying a line ofPersona 4 Arena Ultimax-themed apparel and accessories, and it’s all extremely expensive (6,000 yen/$58.50 for a t-shirt) and pretty ugly at that. Dengekibrings us a cavalcade of photos of the storefront and the massivePersonapromotion, which also features hoodies for 8,800 yen ($85.81) and bags that retail for about the same price, with the smaller ones going for 6,800 yen ($66....

Renovate the kingdom Looking for a reason to dust off your copy ofSkyrim?Holds: The City Overhaulmight be the excuse you’re looking for. This gigantic mod (a 4 GB download) took its creator Galandil more than three years to put together. Why so long? Because the mod basically remakes several ofSkyrim‘s less impressive cities and towns (while also adding in some brand new ones). Cities such as Falkreath, Dawnstar, and Winterhold all get some much needed TLC with added vendors, improved buildings, and more impressive holds and courts....

Hopping around as a lil mug Even after that last round details from QuakeCon, I’m feeling a little hazy on what exactlyPreywill be like (or maybe — well,probably— I’m still just coming to terms with its deviation from the originalPreyand also the dropped bounty-hunter concept forPrey 2). I know a fewodds and ends, and the most memorable one makes an appearance in this latest footage out of gamescom. Some of the game’s shadowy aliens can mimic everyday objects, and okay, cool, so can you!...
