You heard about the new online multiplayer sci-fi first-person shooter that is the latest instalment in the massive multimedia franchise? If you’re thinking about Halo Infinite then you’re wrong. I’m talking about NERF Legends that launches today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
These Smoots folk are a talented sporting bunch. Having bested track and field in Smoots Summer Games and topped the rankings in Smoots World Cup Tennis, they now turn their attention to golf. Can you get a hole-in-one? Find out in Smoots Golf on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC and PlayStation.
One day the inevitable will happen, and humanity be wiped out by an AI. I’ve seen enough science fiction to know that there is more than a little bit of truth to all this. But what if the AI in question is a bit of a tyrant and rather than simply destroy humanity, puts them all to work in some giant human sized hamster wheel? It’s a future far scarier. Thankfully then, Despotism 3k releasing today on Xbox has a bit of a sense of humour when it comes to the demise of humanity. A sick, twisted sense of humour but still, better than nothing.
What would be the logical sequel to One Hundred Ways? One Hundred and One Ways just seems like too small an increment. So, instead, Two Hundred Ways has arrived on Xbox consoles to offer double the amount of brain teasing and ball trapping.
our enemy is your enemy for a reason, but you can at least sometimes admire their aesthetic. Admiring it is one thing, downright copying their look is a good power move. And that’s just what the Rival Tech Pack DLC offers for Deep Rock Galactic, and it is available to download right now on Xbox and PC.
Crazy Gravity on Xbox has a neat feature in flipping gravity around, but even with this, it doesn’t necessarily rewrite the 2D platformer book. It is fun for the hour or so it will take you to complete the levels, and whilst some are more interesting than others, you won’t be rushing back to play them again.
Unpacking is a very original title, and one that is a lot more than virtually unpacking boxes. The ebbs and flows of the story will make you want to see it through to the end, even when the lines between unpacking items and Unpacking (the game) start to blur.
Despite the slow nature of the first half of House of Ashes, when it gets into its stride it is a homage to classic science-fiction action horror titles that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The scares may not be as obtrusive as the previous titles in the anthology, but this may then appeal to those that aren’t necessarily horror fanatics.
Riders Republic on Xbox takes the basic framework of Steep and adds a whole load more to it to create a very fun arcade sports title. The skiing and snowboarding events feel like the SSX games in their heyday, the rocketsuit and wingsuit events are exhilarating, and the bike events ensure you are constantly one wrong move from total disaster.
Everyone knows that if you are going to kidnap someone’s love interest, the best place to hide them is at the top of a tower. Or it was until The Gardener showed up. He doesn’t need a ladder or long blonde hair to climb up these towers. Instead, he just uses his garden shears to cut the vines growing on the tower to climb up. Find out exactly how in The Gardener and the Wild Vines on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 today.
There have been card games to explore dungeons, card games to “Catch ‘em all”, even card games to get you drunk before a night out (my personal favourite). Magic Nations – Strategy Card Game arrives today on Xbox to introduce a new way to play with cards. How about a card game where you can conquer an entire fantasy world?
Returning to its World War II roots, the Call of Duty franchise really does need no introduction. The latest instalment in the acclaimed FPS franchise, Call of Duty: Vanguard, is available now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
We had a video game tie-in to the main Fast & Furious franchise last year in the form of Fast & Furious Crossroads. Now we are getting a tie-in to the spinoff CGI TV series. Can Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R releasing today on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC fare better than its predecessor?
Growing up, I really wanted a friend like E.T. It was only in later life I learned that people were actually scared of the little cutey? The Prince of Landis on Xbox features a similar tale of friendship between species, but the alien here is a lot more sinister looking. How much can this extra-terrestrial be trusted? Find out in The Prince of Landis today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
Despite a few flaws, it’s safe to say Boti: Byteland Overclocked will provide gamers young and old a chance to experience whimsical 3D platforming goodness so long unseen in the industry, even if it’s not the genre defining title that so scarcely appears.
