Experience the festival of your nightmares in Dead Island 2: SoLA

Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals.

Madden NFL 23 Early Access Begins Now

There was only ever going to be one man legendary enough to grace the cover of this year’s Madden instalment. The late, great John Madden played football, coached football, commentated on football and even lent his name to the videogame franchise. And in Madden 23, early access out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, he will forever be immortalised for the larger-than-life character he was.

Perennial achievement gifters Ratalaika Games are also jumping on this trend with their latest offering. Releasing today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch is Voyage.

Arcade Paradise Review

Arcade Paradise is a love letter to the days of those summer afternoons, spending pocket money in these delightfully dingy places. It could also be the final nail in the arcade coffin, because no real-life arcade can offer this many good titles under one roof.

Arcade Paradise has you running the arcade of your dreams

We all wish we could find more time for our favourite hobby. Sadly, those 24 hours a day are as long as we are going to get. But at least in this latest release we can find out what it would be like to live, eat and sleep gaming, as we will be in charge of our own arcade. Discover what kind of manager you will be in Arcade Paradise, out today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Avenging Spirit Review

With the rewind feature, Avenging Spirit can still be completed in under an hour, but it is a highly original title when compared to what else was out around that time. And even in the year 2022 it is still a fun 2D jaunt, with the Ratalaika Games promise of easy achievements to boot.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Review

There is definitely a more varied overall list of games in the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium compilation than the first one, but there are also more repeated titles.

Truckload of new Hot Wheels Unleashed DLC

With over 50 years of creativity and designs behind them, it should come as no surprise that there is more Hot Wheels Unleashed DLC on the way. This time around it is a mix of additions from the Hot Wheels Pass Vol. 3. And it is out today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.

The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle Review

These major chapters for The Elder Scrolls Online rarely disappoint, and High Isle is one of the better ones - if only for introducing Tales of Tribute alone.

New threads available in Kao the Kangaroo

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but dressing up animals is fun, so long as they aren’t put in any discomfort when being dressed. Real-life or digital, animals just look far cuter when wrapped up. Even the animals that you wouldn’t dare go anywhere near when out in the wild: sharks, bears and kangaroos amongst others. These are best left instead for digital dress up. And speaking of digital kangaroos, Kao the Kangaroo has just been given some new outfits on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch in the form of the Summer Drip DLC.

SD GUNDAM BATTLE ALLIANCE Demo out now

The humble demo feels like a dying art. With everything being so accessible thanks to the internet, you’d have thought demos of games would be flourishing. Instead, here we are celebrating that one has released. It might not be for a game you would normally play either, but that’s the beauty of a demo. You can try before you buy! The SD GUNDAM BATTLE ALLIANCE demo is out now for Xbox, but you can also try the demo on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Two new DLC packs for Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master!

Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master! already covers a very diverse range of genres in its playlists. And multiple DLC drops since its initial release have only helped further increase that list. These latest releases are no exception as they cover metal and anime genres of all things. Available today for Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master are the Tatsujin Metal Pack and ONE PIECE Anime Songs Pack.

The Medjay brings Egyptian brutality to For Honor

Remember when it was just Vikings, Knights and Samurais in For Honor? Even then this fantasy multiplayer melee combat game had to take some liberties with the timeline. And now they’re altering the path of space and time even more with the inclusion of the first Egyptian warrior. But he does look a bit of a brute. The For Honor Medjay Hero is available to download now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Possess your enemies in Avenging Spirit

Not a week goes by without a Ratalaika Games release it seems like anymore. And with the greatest of respect, many of them are achievement fodder of retro looking games at best. Sometimes though, Ratalaika manage to get hold of a lesser know classic title for re-release. This is one of those games, and it sounds pretty good to boot. Avenging Spirit is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Evolve your digital monsters in Digimon Survive

Videogame delays are nothing new. Some games struggle with delays more than others and get pushed out multiple times. These delays can be seen as a positive though, as they help drum up excitement. They can also lead people to believe that a game will ever release. This next game suffered a bit of both. But I am pleased to report it is final here. Digimon Survive is out today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
