From today, the midpoint of August, it's exactly 2.5 months until the end of October. By then, we'll have our hands on a new 2.5D mascot platformer that has a popular name attached to it. Playtonic Games has revealed that Yooka-Laylee and ...

I feel as if I've cooked more in video games than I ever have in real life or ever will. There are so many compelling choices right now, from lighter arcade co-op experiences like Overcooked to more intricate simulation games like Cook, Ser...

One of the cooler features from the upcoming Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the ability to alter the states of levels by changing the weather in the overworld. It wasn't really present in the E3 demo, but we now have a short look ...

At this point, with the debut of Night of the Hangry Horde, I can safely recommend that everyone who digs Overcooked 2 should get the season pass at their convenience. It's twenty bucks well spent. Ghost Town has proven that it knows how to...

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair popped up unexpectedly a couple weeks ago, and we were able to get some hands-on time with it at E3 last week. It takes the lizard-and-bat duo from 2017's crowdfunded 3D platformer and flattens the actio...

Have you heard about Blasphemous? You need to hear about Blasphemous. It's a dark-fantasy action game from The Last Door creator The Game Kitchen and publisher Team17, and it looks gnarly in all the right ways. I was already feeling the rel...

Automachef is basically an episode of How It's Made in video game form, and I'm all about it. The upcoming PC and Nintendo Switch simulation title tasks hopeful food tycoons with devising automated kitchens. This trailer starts out straight...

If Ghost Town Games keeps the hits coming, I'll keep turning up. Overcooked 2 was already a co-op staple in this household, but with continued support through patches and DLC in recent months, the lovingly hectic cooking game has risen to g...

Overcooked 2 is a figurative backpack game of mine. I'm quite content to pull it out every now and then, plow through whatever new add-on has released, and stash it away in the back of my memory. But every few months, I'm happy to rum...

My craving for more Overcooked 2 hasn't let up yet, and it's not showing any signs of slowing down this year. I'm insatiable! Ghost Town Games has kept us occupied with numerous additions since launch -- some free, some paid -- and there's ...

The early reactions to My Time at Portia weren't convincing enough for me to drop whatever I was playing at the time, but I've left the crop-growing, ruin-exploring, relationship-navigating life sim on my low-priority backlog. I'll get to i...

Farming/life simulator My Time at Portia (which is apparently really good) will be leaving early access next week. Launching on January 15, 2019, you'll be able to grab the game from Steam or the Epic Games store for £24.99 / $29.99 /...

I'm not ready to stop playing Overcooked 2, and thankfully, I don't have to! Ghost Town Games has come out with Kevin's Christmas Cracker, a free batch of DLC with five new holiday-themed levels and fresh recipes including Christmas pudding...

Just when you thought World War II shooters were dead and buried, out comes another one. Publisher Team17 has announced that online, massive scale, team-based first-person shooter Hell Let Loose will be hitting early access in early 2019. B...

The recent New Game+ update for Overcooked 2 that added an unlockable fourth star on every level was a nice gesture for high-score chasers, and I'm still working my way through the lot. But, above all, I just wanted more kitchens. That's al...

I've got my money's worth out of Overcooked 2. My wife and I blitzed through every stage (including bonuses) with three stars over the course of a few weeks, and now there's a dreaded fourth star New Game+ mode ready and waiting for free. F...

It's now October and along with censored-for-TV horror movie marathons and copious Halloween bake-offs, it's time for that promised Overcooked 2 update. The console versions have added New Game+ mode. If you're up for the challenge, there's...

That wasn't long at all! And now I'm low-key panicking because I have less time than I thought to get ready for New Game+ mode in Overcooked 2. The update launched today for PC, adding a new fourth star to earn on every level once you beat ...

While I still have a few secret levels to master in Overcooked 2, my time has pretty much come to an end. I was planning on revisiting the co-op cooking action title again sooner than later since it's the type of game that feels fresh when...

Very little about Overcooked 2 will leave you confused. Frustrated, sure. Overcooked's approach to cooperative play -- both players responsible for individual tasks in pursuit of a common goal -- can get so overwhelming for all but the...

I'm so glad Overcooked found a sustainable, adoring audience in the almost two years since I first tried it on a whim. This simple yet hectic cooking game is one of the best co-op titles around. The basic concept is easy -- you assemble foo...

I'm not exaggerating when I say that there are very few games revealed at E3 that I want in my hands right here, right now, more than Overcooked 2. The original is at the top of my list of co-op favorites. The sequel is the same, but more, ...

Team17, which has made much of its fortune on 10,000 (mostly good, amazingly) Worms games, is moving back into the sci-fi scene as a sort of fully realized follow-up to their previous franchise Alien Breed. Just over a year ago they announc...

I'm writing this one as much for me as for you. Yoku's Island Express is a platforming pinball adventure that has slipped on and off my radar a few times now. It's still on track for a Q2 2018 launch on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, a...

While it doesn't have a date nailed down, it's not long until the scheduled release of Yoku's Island Express during the second quarter of this year. In case you've forgotten about the pure bundle of joy/dung beetle pinball game, publisher T...
