Get weird with this contest for Catherine Classic for Steam! I've never played Catherine, mostly because I felt shame enough even having the box on my shelf. I thought surely I'd get weird looks from anyone passing if they saw me playing it...

Video games have really changed as a storytelling medium. What was once a casual dash from left-to-right, dropping baddies and collecting shiny objects, opened up into new realms of drama, narrative, and even philosophical messages. Of cour...

Hamster has released another old-school SNK title via their Neo Geo Classics range. Here's a suprise, its a forgotten, colourful fighting game from the mid-'90s. Kizuna Encounter is now available on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.Release...

And Boom. After weeks of rumours and rankings, Atlus has finally launched Catherine Classic on PC, via the Steam platform. This release is an upscaled edition of the 2011 puzzle title, which blends box-shifting, tower-climbing action with a...

With Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo came close to maxing out on the concept of being anyone you want to be. While that made for a one-of-a-kind experience within the Mario universe, there were actually a few other games that used the same ho...

It's a new year, and Hamster are already continuing their pledge to re-release hundreds of arcade classics on modern platforms. This week sees the return of a particularly obscure SNK title, Ragnagard, which has been dusted off for the Nint...

Are Games Art? Cool your jets, I'm not going down that route. Do people still care about the answer to that question? Maybe they do. I sure don't - just games, innit? Sometimes they're great, sometimes they aren't. Sometimes they pick you u...

Screaming Villains, the small-scale studio that brought us Night Trap: 30th Anniversary Edition, has today launched its second remaster from the annals of terrible FMV video games. Double Switch: 25th Anniversary Edition, is available today...

I played a ton of Katamari Damacy over the weekend on Nintendo Switch. It's not my first time rolling up junk to make celestial bodies for my large disappointed dad, and it definitely won't be the last. It's a timeless classic. But now I'm ...

It’s been 14 years since Katamari Damacy graced us with its bizarro charm and broken family dynamics, but the King of All Cosmos is back in full HD and it’s up to you to do the (literal) groundwork so the universe can be whole...

Over the last decade, gaming auteur Suda51 has become a force to be reckoned with. His games have subverted standard video game tropes and provided some of the zaniest and most esoteric experiences around. Pick any random title from his cat...

There's a little-known Australian exploitation flick called Thirst. Released way back in 1979, it stars Henry Silva as the head of a massive corporation that has made big business out of vampirism, kidnapping innocents, and siphoning their ...

You won't be up against monsters or jump-scares in Colorfiction's Ode to a Moon; instead, you'll find an unsettling atmosphere and the knowledge that something has gone terribly, horribly awry. There's probably nothing you can do to set thi...

XSeed Games has dropped a trailer announced a date for fun-looking rhythm-action game Gal Metal, which is coming to shred on Nintendo Switch later this month.The goofy-looking game, by new developer DMM, tells a completely twisted story of ...

Atomic Heart looks like one of the most visually intriguing first-person shooters in a good long while. I'm stoked! A large part of my curiosity can be traced to its strange setting and enemy designs. In developer Mundfish's alternate-histo...

While most of the SNK titles re-released by funsters Hamster of from the early-to-mid '90s, this week saw the publisher head into the latter days of SNK pre-bankruptcy, with obscure platformer Zupapa! available now on PS4, Xbox One and Nint...

This contest is a spooky one -- enter to win The Midnight Sanctuary for Steam, PS4, or Switch. It's October, which means I get to bask in all the spooky glory of the season. Sometimes it's movies, and sometimes it's short stories -- but tod...

[Update: Katamari Damacy Reroll is heading to Nintendo Switch digitally on November 30, with a physical release planned for later this winter. The Steam version is set for December 7.] I love it when a juicy trademark listing pans out with ...

If you're in the mood to take a chance on a strange, uneasy, and uneven but ultimately memorable experience, heads up: there's a public alpha build for Pathologic 2. It's an open-ended survival adventure about doing what little you can duri...

My biggest disappointment of 2018 is that I am not able to use the subtitle “Hyakki-Suck” to describe Haunted Dungeons: Hyakki Castle. It really is just a darn shame, but you can’t win ‘em all. I have a little soft s...

As summer starts its eventual descent into fall, it brings with it my two favorite things of the year: my back and nethers dry up instead of being under constant siege by the Coastal Virginia humidity, and stores start putting up their Hall...

I can't really call Biomutant my biggest surprise of PAX because I once publicly said it "looks weird as hell and I'm really into it," and the Internet never forgets. But if it weren't for that article, it sure would be. It's strange, risky...

I can hardly call England a "dystopia," but it sure feels different to the country I've spent my whole life in. Don't get me wrong, most politicians have been charlatans and people have always been ignorant. But, in the last few years, a se...

The Power Rangers/Street Fighter crossover going on in the Power Rangers: Legacy Wars mobile game was pretty weird to begin with, but it may have just kicked things up a notch.  It was announced today at San Diego Comic-Con that a new ...
