New cars available for World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing

What game does the World of Outlaws sound like? I’d say a sprawling battle royale for cowboys set on a prison island.

Live by the Sword: Tactics goes back to the golden age of tactical RPGs

There are haunted house shenanigans in Silenced: The House

The haunted house is a horror trope as old as scaring people itself. Tales have existed for hundreds of years of naïve people daring each other to visit these abandoned houses.

Silenced: The House is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Explore your own disturbing past in Last Days of Lazarus

I have just finished writing the launch article for Charon’s Staircase, a first-person horror adventure game. That is more concerned with delving into the past of a nation known as The Ministry and erasing it from history. The Last Days of Lazarus is a similar concept, but one that hits much closer to home. Find out what personal history is best left forgotten in Last Days of Lazarus on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
