In a rather lacking week of new video game releases, Ubisoft’s March release of The Division 2 has jumped back to the number one position on the weekly UK sales chart. After a strong debut from the Switch exclusive Yoshi’s Crafted World last week, the loot shooting of The Division 2 has seemed to prove to have
Ysbryd Games and Sukeban Games’ VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is one of the most unique visual novels to come along it recent years.

NeocoreGames’ Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr came out for PC last June; unfortunately, the response to the ARPG upon release was somewhat mixed.

This might lose me some “gamer” cred, but I’ve never played a Streets of Rage game. Not that I can remember anyway. There is a small chance I played the first or second games from the beloved beat ‘em up series on my uncle’s Sega Genesis but I was a Nintendo kid. My beat ‘em
Graphics aside, Three Fields Entertainment’s Dangerous Driving feels like a racing game straight out of 2005. From the UI to the focus on speed, thrills, and arcade-like action as opposed to realism, the game certainly elicits a feeling more akin to Project Gotham Racing and Burnout, which this game’s developers created at Criterion, as opposed to modern
Developer Juicy Cupcake has announced Brief Battles will make its underwear-filled debut on PC, PS4, and Xbox One debut on May 7, 2019. Players can make sure their “butt reigns supreme” in this party game of multiplayer mayhem. The main mode of the game is an arena battler (think Smash Brothers) with super-powered underpants. As
Always leave it up to Sony Santa Monica and God of War director Cory Barlog to be the even-keeled voice in the room. Over the past couple of weeks, a debate has been raging among the development, critic, and average gamers on whether difficult games should come with accessibility options, and to what extent developers should dedicate
Boneworks is an upcoming VR action adventure game by developer Stress Level Zero. The team recently visited the Node Youtube channel to show off the first level of the game.

Super Neptunia RPG, which has already been announced for a Western release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch this spring, is now coming to PC in summer of this year. The Artisan Studios developed title will make its way to Steam with support for English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and French subtitles. Along with the announcement, a
Apex Legends cheaters are a recurring scourage on the incredibly popular battle royale game, and some players are taking matters into their own hands — even when it involves teammates. In a new viral video, players tackle a verified cheater through an expert bamboozle. While it won’t clear the droves of cheaters, it still manages to warm
Producer Hiroaki Iwano, who has worked on the Kaku San Sei Million Arthur mobile game franchise, has officially left Square Enix as of the end of March.

The official Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Twitter confirmed that even though the title, which is set to launch sometime in Q1 2020, is releasing on the Epic Games store it will not be exclusive to it: Just to reiterate, as we have had a few questions around it – We will not be
A small rumor that finds its origins on imageboard and rumor-den 4chan seems to be confirmed finally. According to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, Watch Dogs 3 will is going to the UK — London to be specific.

Sapulpa Public Schools is one of ten Oklahoma schools that will be working together to start up a school-sponsored esports league for the 2019-20 academic year. The teams will compete in Clash Royale, Madden 2019, Overwatch, Rocket League, and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. One of Sapulapa’s coaches Jessie Swayze said he started the league to “give
The announcement of Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s release date in March was also accompanied by the confirmation of a physical and digital release of the game for Nintendo Switch. Both DOOM and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus made their way to the hybrid console, so it made sense for Bethesda’s latest title to follow suit. Unfortunately, it
There are perhaps no games more nostalgia-inducing than Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. And it seems fitting that the Scarface-inspired game has an artistic tribute in the city it is based on: Miami, Florida. Thankfully, some awesome artists have come together to honor one of the best GTA games with a terrific mural alluding to the in-game loading screens.
The Enter the Gungeon unique brand of bullet hell shooting might be finishing up its post-launch updates, but it is going out with a bang. Developer Dodge Roll and publisher Devolver Digital released their final content update, “Farewell to Arms” and it is an explosive way to end an indie darling’s life. The update packs quite the
The debate rages on if time-saver microtransactions are pay-to-win. In a recent update to open-world survival game Fallout 76, the still-dedicated community noticed that there were non-cosmetic items coming to the real-money Atomic Shop. This would be a big departure from previous statements from developer Bethesda Softworks that the Atomic Shop would be cosmetic only, plunging
Recently Valve, developer of the popular PC gaming platform Steam, has landed itself in hot water with the European Commission over accusations of geo-blocking games throughout the European Union, which violates their antitrust laws.

Toy enthusiast and Instagram photographer Captain Dangerous turned her love of toys into art, by creating original product diorama-based photography using toys from her favorite video games.

It’s no secret that developers aren’t a fan of review bombing — and Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford can be added to that list. Following a wide-spread review bomb of Borderlands games on digital marketplace Steam, Pitchford is using it as a basis to defend Borderlands 3 moving exclusively to competitor Epic Games Store. Even if his claims
Review bombing is nothing new. Steam users have been using the tactic for years now to express their displeasure directly with developers as well as consumers. However, many times the player’s review bombing tactic doesn’t even involve the game. So, Steam has implemented a system to try to separate the fair criticism from the criticism that doesn’t
Love and relationships have long been a topic explored in video games, but in the last few years indie games in particular have really seemed to be able to explore the topic in more experimental and emotional ways. As indie games have often focused on building narrative experiences or unique ways of storytelling rather than
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will hold a public workshop on August 7, 2019, to discuss the many consumer protection issues surrounding loot boxes.

Hot off the heels of announcing Cetrion earlier this week, NetherRealm Studios has today unveiled an all-new fighter that will be joining the day one roster of Mortal Kombat 11.
