Blasphemous might be 2019's gnarliest video game. Its odds are certainly up there. Drawing direct inspiration from the usual suspects like Dark Souls and Castlevania – the series, I mean, not just Symphony of the Night – Bl...

This might be a bit premature given that Blasphemous is not a particularly short game and it hasn't even been out a full week yet, but I figured some of you would benefit from this PSA. The game has multiple endings as you might expect, but...

Virtual-On is a kick ass mech combat series that doesn't get nearly enough love today. A lot of folks probably remember encountering its unique cabinet in the arcade years back, but the franchise also hit multiple consoles since its 1995 de...

Sakura Wars is a series I only have a passing familiarity with. Beyond characters from it appearing in the crossover game Project X Zone and its sequel, just one title from the core franchise ever made it to the west many yea...

One Piece: Pirate Warriors is shaping up to be possibly the most successful Musou spinoff series to date, as the operation keeps on chugging along with Pirate Warriors 4 in 2020. Set to debut on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch (it's crazy how...

I've been keeping my eye on the new Gungrave game. We could really use more character-driven action in an era full of high concept open world chimeras, and with any luck, the upcoming Gungrave G.O.R.E. will deliver. Developed by Iggymob, G....

Dauntless has been in Early Access for several months building up a respectable playerbase, and it's nearly ready to officially arrive. Phoenix Labs has announced this morning that version 1.0 will launch on September 26, which will herald ...

Capcom's Iceborne expansion for their uber-popular Monster Hunter: World may have only just recently released, but already a string of giant terrors are already waiting in line to give you and your buddies a claw-assisted head-ectomy.Take, ...

It's not quite the 49 minutes of footage teased, but Kojima Productions has shared the intro briefing cinematic from Death Stranding and I still have no idea what the hell is going on. First Lady Amelie (played by Lindsay Wagner) has conta...

Human Head Studios has announced that Rune 2, the belated follow-up to its 2000 cult classic Rune, will be releasing on November 12, 2019. Coming exclusively to the Epic Games Store, the title was originally known as Rune: Ragnarok before ...

[Update: You can find the official trailer below!] Nioh 2 can't come soon enough. Okay, actually I can wait for practical reasons: 2019 is a packed year of games, and between all the time I spend with Final Fantasy XIV, WoW Classi...

Control is the sort of game that you don't stop thinking about when it's finished. It invites retrospect and analysis -- a thorough rehashing of everything you saw and read along the way, all in pursuit of connecting every little threa...

Today's contest sees the dead rise again in a Blu-ray copy of The Dead Don't Die. Man, zombies just don't die. I mean, they do kinda, but I meant the zombie genre. In both movies and gaming it's still going pretty strong, despite being a ma...

Fans of indie games and limited retail editions have reason to celebrate as Devolver Digital is teaming up with Nighthawk Interactive to create a physical edition of My Friend Pedro, the quirky side-scrolling shooter from developer DeadToas...

You know, I've never played a Spiders game. I've been interested in a couple, like Technomancer, but never got around to actually buying or playing them. They've mostly received lukewarm reviews with plenty of uses of the word "jank." Greed...

With Monster Hunter: World last year, the adrenaline-pumping series finally managed to break through for me, and – given what a colossal sales success the game has become for Capcom – plenty of other would-be players. It's not ...

This contest features a PSVR copy of The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure! I'm usually pretty good at managing the several jobs I have. I've got a decent handle on keeping on schedule with things and juggling several tasks at once. So...

In this contest, you can win Men in Black: International on Blu-ray, as well as a matching poster from Mondo! Physical prizes, ho! Giving away actual, tangible objects is one of my favorite things, so today I've got a double dose of things ...

In today's contest we're giving away Switch copies of Torchlight II! Normally I'd do some sort of intro here, but look, Torchlight II on Switch gives you a pet unicorn. That's my introduction to today's game and contest. You get a pet unico...

Path of Exile's 3.8 content patch goes live today, and brings with it the Blight Challenge League, introducing a surprisingly refreshing league mechanic (for an ARPG, at least): tower defense. Throughout the league, players will be fightin...

The original Xenoblade Chronicles, the one that launched on Wii back in 2012, will eventually hit Nintendo's newest console. The beloved action RPG is being remastered for Switch. At least, we're left to assume it's a remaster. During its ...

It seems as if Nintendo's Japanese website is the place to get all of the first hot Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 news! Once again the site has been a boon in giving us the first big of info on Curse of the Vampire, the first paid DL...

Synchronicity is a theme, or at least a phenomenon, that's used in Control. Through its elaborate and convoluted story, it's established that spectacular results can be achieved when distant and separate things are attuned to one another. T...

When Astral Chain kicked off with a janky vehicle section, I was worried. Then the toilet fairy came. Then the insane mechanical depth we'd expect out of Platinum. Then I got to moonlight as an office mascot named Lappy who helped out ...

No one likes having to guilt-trip their friends into helping them move, but that won't be an issue with Moving Out, a hectic co-op action game from Death Squared creator SMG Studio. It looks lovely. We've touched on Moving Out before (I ne...
