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. The latter being the chance to forget troubles of the real-world and just exist in a several day long party. But what if you annual pilgrimage to your festival of choice turns sour when say, the uninvited undead come and crash the party? Find out how you would cope in Dead Island 2: SoLA DLC, out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

The Evil One – The Man with the White Eyes Revealed

Films based on books are already commonplace. Games based on books however, are only really a handful. But developer RedDeer.Games have just announced a new title based on a cult Polish crime novel, coming to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. It’s called The Evil One and is arguably the most popular crime novel of the People’s Poland (PRL).

Purple power with the new Call of Duty: Vanguard – Tracer Pack: Violet Stealth Pro Pack

Bored of your current look in either Call of Duty: Vanguard or Call of Duty: Warzone? Fancy some new threads? How about something a bit, purple? If you answered yes to any of these, then you are in luck. The new DLC – Tracer Pack: Violet Stealth Pro Pack - has just dropped for both on Xbox, PC and PlayStation.

The Parasite Pack is a Ratalaika Games double header

Every achievement hunter knows about Ratalaika Games by now. Their offerings are quick and easy ways to get 1000G, and the games aren’t half bad either. Sometimes, they try to change things up a bit with their weekly releases, and this one is no exception. We’re getting two games for the price of one here, but hopefully the easy achievements still remain. The Parasite Pack is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

A tribute to couch multiplayer games, OctaFight is out now

It’s no secret that the shift to online gaming has meant the classic trope of competitive gaming within the same room is dying out. Some games try and rekindle that magic: the likes of TowerFall Ascension and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge immediately spring to mind. However, there still aren’t as many as there should be. OctaFight, out today on Xbox, attempts to provide another much-needed alternative.

Monster Trampoline brings family friendly multiplayer to Xbox

Maybe it’s just because I have watched too many horror films involving killer sofas and psychic rubber tyres, but my first though when I saw Monster Trampoline was something very different. I for one would love a horror movie where a sentient trampoline gobbles up anyone dumb enough to jump on it. This, however, is something much more child friendly. Monster Trampoline is out today on Xbox.

Cartoon karting chaos in Renzo Racer

Everyone has their favourite kart racer, and the majority plump for Mario Kart. And it’s not hard to see why, it’s a game that boosts the sales of any Nintendo console due to its popularity. Kart racers on other platforms are invariably compared to it, and a lot of the time fall short. However, we have a new one arriving on Xbox today. How will it fare? Find out as Renzo Racer releases today on Xbox.

Solve puzzles and create art in Sixty Words by POWGI

There is another word game on Xbox from the creative couple at Lightwood Games. This time around it is a much requested – and at the same time expanded – port to Xbox. Fifty Words is one thing, but can you find Sixty Words by POWGI, out today on Xbox?

Looking back to 2017 and the franchise killing Micro Machines World Series

If one day thousands of unsold copies of Micro Machines World Series were found in a ditch alongside the remaining copies of ET: The Videogame, I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised.

More sci-fi murder mystery fun in AI: The SOMNIUM FILES Nirvana Initiative

It seems like the Xbox is finally starting to really understand Japanese games. The Danganronpa series has recently been added to Xbox Game Pass, and the Persona series is coming soon. These may be major Japanese series but another that is making a name for itself recently has received a sequel today. AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Nirvana Initiative is out today on Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Release date announced for Way of the Hunter

If you have been itching for a new digital hunting game, then you are in luck as we have just received word of the release date for Way of the Hunter. Coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation 5, you won’t have long to wait.

Molten Mirrors is the next Mirror of Mystery for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

They have been controversial, but they keep on coming. The third Mirror of Mystery is here, this time featuring a mountain stronghold with plenty of booby traps. Molten Mirrors is out today for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Stealth game The Psychoduck features a crazy killer canard

Ducks are normally a peaceful bird, especially when compared with swans. Those long-necked buggers are deceitfully violent. But this particular duck is different. The Psychoduck, out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, is hell bent on stabbing herons to collect their crowns. It’s a concept that can only be in a videogame.

Book of Adventum take the FPS genre back to its heyday

First-person shooters have been around since the likes of Wolfenstein and DOOM, but it was the mid-noughties where it really took off. The likes of Halo, Call of Duty and Battlefield elevated the genre into the juggernaut it is known as now. Book of Adventum is out today on Xbox, but rather than looking forward, is decidedly more interested in reliving the genres highlife.

Arcade veterans rejoice at the Capcom Fighting Collection

Capcom may now be known more for the likes of Monster Hunter and Resident Evil to name but a few, but their brand was formed on arcade machines back in the day. This new compilation may represent a time after the golden era of arcades, but it still offers many Western gamers the chance to play a few of these titles for the very first time. The Capcom Fighting Collection is out today for Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch.
