What if you could play through Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Rear Window or Shia LaBeouf’s slightly-less-classic Disturbia? That’s essentially the premise of Hello Neighbor, which asks you to uncover what your creepy neighbor is doing behind closed doors.
The Nintendo Switch may be selling like plastic hotcakes, but the system’s library still has its share of unfortunate gaps. Hungry for a Switch racing game without futuristic hover cars or homing turtle shells? Until now, you’ve been out of luck. Enter Gear.Club Unlimited.
“3D Sonic games suck” is perhaps the oldest, moldiest chestnut in gaming. It also isn’t particularly true. Sure, the chili-dog-scarfing hedgehog has suffered his share of embarrassing missteps in recent years, but the bad has been more than balanced out by solid titles like Sonic Colors, Sonic Lost World, and...
Need for Speed Payback feels like an attempt at a comeback. EA’s racing franchise never really went anywhere, but recent entries like Need for Speed: Rivals and the 2015 Need for Speed reboot didn’t leave much of a dent. With Payback, EA and developer Ghost Games deliver the series’ biggest...
AER Memories of Old has some rather lofty aspirations. The game’s world, made up of a myriad of floating islands, is reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Wind Waker, and its visual style brings to mind indie favorites like Journey and Bound. It’s a bold ploy by...
The simulation racing field is a lot more crowded than it was when Gran Turismo last hit the asphalt back in 2013. The Forza franchise adds impressive new layers of depth with each new entry, Project CARS has successfully introduced a more meticulous brand of simulation racing to the masses,...
WWE 2K18
It’s been too long since pro wrestling fans last had a true championship-caliber WWE game. After a hot run in the late 90s/early 2000s, WWE games began to run out of gas. They were still fun enough, but the formula was becoming tired. When 2K Sports assumed the WWE license...
Battle Chasers is back. That may not mean much to most folks in 2017, but if you were a hardcore comic nut in the late 90s, the impending release of Battle Chasers: Nightwar may stir up a few emotions. Excitement, curiosity, and perhaps a bit of frustration.
Darkwood aims to put the “survival” in survival horror. Most classic examples of the genre – your Resident Evils and Silent Hills – are just action-adventure games with a creepy edge and limited health and ammo. Darkwood, on the other hand, attempts to deliver scares and a full-on survival experience...
Basketball may not quite match soccer, football, and baseball when it comes to real-world popularity, but the sport is champion when it comes to video games. For years now the NBA 2K franchise has been pushing the entire sports genre forward with its cutting-edge AI, wide array of modes, and...
Being the hero of a point ‘n’ click adventure game isn’t easy. Bizarre things happen to you constantly, every minor chore requires an elaborate logic puzzle, and nobody likes you because you’re always rummaging through their drawers for clues. How do Phoenix Wright and Guybrush Threepwood keep from going insane?...
Pyre
Pyre is a bit of a departure for developer Supergiant Games. The small 12-man studio was quick to establish a brand with their first two titles, Bastion and Transistor, which were both isometric RPGs with a focus on action, innovative mechanics, and gorgeous art. Supergiant's third game builds on those...
