Hiya, PlayStation foodies. Tj here, serving up a big plate of news for our experimental food art game, Nour: Play With Your Food. It’s a game that you might have seen around before. Perhaps you caught a glimpse of some of our wild ramen and boba tea out in the wilds of the internet or

When The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced a few years back, the general response was “who on Middle-earth would want to play as Gollum”. I’m wondering if Atari and Graphite Lab’s “creative sequel” to Pong, aka Qomp2, will face a similar reception. Released in the 70s, the original Pong was videogame tennis. In

Let’s be honest. Party Animals is the sort of video game that has an obvious, undeniable inspiration. If we think of Xbox Game Pass as a grocery store, this is that superstore’s in-house version of a famous branded product; a generic Cola as opposed to Coca Cola. As any bargain hunter knows, these products aren’t

I like Warframe, Digital Extremes’ shockingly enduring free-to-play action RPG, but I do find its sci-fantasy direction a bit much. The mashing together of tinted alloys and astral flame, the blend of over-the-shoulder shooting and swordplay, the environments that occasionally look like GPU boxart on steroids – it’s impressive, but a lot to digest. The

Alan Wake 2 will feature a familiar face in actor Shawn Ashmore. While movie/comic fans likely know him best from his portrayal of Bobby Drake/Iceman in the X-Men film series, Remedy fans were previously acquainted with Ashmore as protagonist Jack Joyce in 2016’s Quantum Break.  Ashmore will play a character named Tim Breaker. Who is

Just when the world thought they’d seen the last bit of Warframe news from Tennocon 2023, Digital Extremes revealed a short tease for Warframe 1999.

We’re trying not to be distracted by the truly terrible title, but ugh, just look at it. Sure, it makes it more Google-friendly than ‘Invasion’, but at what cost. At. What. Cost. A review focused on an abysmal game title wouldn’t be much cop, so luckily there are other things to complain about with Envasion.

NetEase announced its new free-to-play, open-world RPG titled Project Mugen this week, releasing a brief trailer on the game that highlights city exploration via swinging and wall climbing.

The more of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gets revealed, the harder it is to believe this game started out as anything but an expansion that Activision decided to blow up into a full game. Multiplayer is made up entirely of map remakes from the original Modern Warfare 2. The single-player campaign inexplicably brings

The Electronic Arts developer BioWare – known for famous RPG series such as Baldur’s Gate, STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect – has announced it is “eliminating approximately 50 roles” at the studio.

Immortals Of Aveum reviewImmortals Of Aveum lacks focus, and the magical shooting is more chaotic and less punchy than I’d like, but it hits fun often enough for me to respect the big fantasy swings it takes.

Microsoft has revealed new console wraps for the Xbox Series X.  These wraps work similarly to Sony’s PlayStation 5 console covers, allowing players to change the console’s cosmetic look without buying an entirely new one.
