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 2012 release of SSX felt like a reboot for the series. But even this game is ten years old now, and the series has been left in limbo ever since. Could it be something to do with the change in direction the 2012 SSX went in?
It is tough to know who to pitch Fluffy Cubed to. Puzzle fanatics and sokoban fans will find this a rather lacklustre attempt, whilst those who prefer a more relaxing gaming experience may be put off by the fact it is a puzzle game. Similarly, feline fans may be taken aback by this cubed moggy.
Why as humans do we have a penchant for naming inanimate objects? I do it too, namely with cars (Hi, Vanessa). But it isn’t limited to vehicles, as weapons are certainly another commonly named object. In PUBG you can use a frying pan as a weapon, but has anyone ever named their kitchen utensils? My point is, Carnage in Space - Ignition which is out now on Xbox and PC and that has a very cool named weapon.
In life, having a healthy balance of offence and defence can get you through most situations. Too much offence and you appear hot-headed, too little and you can be walked right over. This applies in videogames too; you need that balance. But what if they only item you were given was a shield before a fight, how would you go on the offensive then? Find out in Brain Storm: Tower Bombarde on Xbox.
We have all sat and wondered what we would do if we were rich. But less will have thought about how they actually got the money in the first place. Some people inherit their wealth, some win the lottery. Some work hard for their pennies, and others go deep into the catacombs underneath pyramids and seek out their fortune. You can do the latter now, as Pyramid Quest is out now on Xbox.
Ratalaika Games are known for porting over a variety of different visual novels and 2D platformers. Racing titles therefore would not exactly be the first genre that springs to mind when you hear their name. Especially not a classic title from yesteryear.

Based on the hit internet film, Tux and Fanny, is this very retro looking adventure game. Join two best friends on a quest to inflate their football. Tux and Fanny is out now on Xbox.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Ooops, sorry, get my rings mixed up. But here is a game that needs no introduction at all. Patience has been wavering at times, but the wait is finally over. Rise, Tarnished: Elden Ring is out now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
Season 8 in Crossout is known as Steel Gladiators. If you’ve purchased one of the Battle Passes for the game by now, then you will know what to expect. Once again there are two available. Let’s jump in and see what we have this time.
Imagine being one of the chosen few that makes it up to heaven, only to find out it isn’t what you wanted it to be? What would you do then? You’ve made it that far, surely you just stick it out. It’s got to be better than returning to Earth, right? Right? Find out about someone who tries to get back to the land of the living today in From Heaven to Earth on Xbox and PC.
If you are going to create a tactical RPG, the shape you choose for map spaces is absolutely crucial. There is a right answer and a wrong answer. The wrong answer is not hexagonal, meaning the right answer is unequivocally a hexagon. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Gem Wizards Tactics is out today on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. And more importantly, it does use hexagons.
With the Micro Machines series committing seppuku with their last offering Micro Machines World Series, the gap for premium toy car racer has been left wide open. The Super Toy Cars series would be a good shout, but this racing series has all been about shrinking the action down whilst remaining a typical arcade racer. And with two instalments down, it’s done a pretty good job of that. This next release heads into much more dangerous terrain: Super Toy Cars Offroad is out now on Xbox and PC.
We all know by now what Ratalaika Games are really famous for: easy Gamerscore. They port and publish tiny indie games for developers to consoles that likely would not have been able to do so. Take their latest offering for example, it is actually the seventh title from lightUP to appear on Xbox consoles. The developers of the likes of Mina & Michi, Milo’s Quest and Super Wiloo Demake are back. Mages and Treasures releases today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Steam.
