The Ghostbusters are back in town and will soon light up specters in a new asymmetrical multiplayer game from IllFonic, the development studio behind Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds. In an exclusive new look at the studio’s forthcoming Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, we see four proton packs charge up and ignite against a purple Slimer-like ghost with […]

What would happen to Gotham City if Batman stopped protecting it? We’ll soon find out in Warner Bros. Montreal’s Gotham Knights, a story-based action/RPG that begins with Batman’s death. As criminals try to take advantage of Batman’s absence, his understudies are trying to keep order. Batgirl, Red Hood, Robin, and Nightwing unite to maintain order, but quickly learn Gotham now […]

Nerf, the leading foam dart and water weapon manufacturer, has unveiled its first-ever mascot, which fittingly goes by the name Murph. Murph Nerfington (I gave them the last name) will represent the company as part of a multi-year marketing push in social media, public events, and more. Murph looks like a Koosh mascot more than a Nerf representative, although that would still be […]

Fans of old school beat-em-up video games will get a real kick out of this British-set brawler. It’s just like the Sega Mega Drive classic Streets of Rage. But you swap New York’s mean streets for the gritty side of London as UK developers at Numskull Games use their locality for a pixel-art all-out fighter. So expect red phone boxes, […]

Football fans are going to love this action game that’s a mix between their favourite sport and all-out Mario Kart mayhem. Because while it’s a soccer game at its heart, there’s plenty of Nintendo gaming dazzle rubbed in to make this a rather unique title for the handheld Switch console. Battle League not only features four-on four footie matches, but […]

Super Nintendo World opened in Universal Studios Japan last year, and word of mouth (and various YouTube videos featuring walkthroughs and more) says it’s a great theme park addition. Universal is clearly a fan of it because Super Nintendo World expansions have received the greelight at both Universal Studios Hollywood and at the Universal Studios theme park in Florida.  Now, we […]

This Playstation blockbuster feels like an homage to all the best video games of the modern era. It’s got the puzzle based action-adventure of Uncharted, the post-apocalyptic visuals of The Last Of Us, the bow and arrow gameplay of Tomb Raider and a sprawling open world like something out of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Then there’s the Mass Effect […]

For decades, Kao the Kangaroo has languished in the purgatory of platforming mascot obscurity. Unfortunately, his big comeback does little to change this status quo. His latest adventure is competent, but uninspired design and noticeable technical problems make for a hollow excursion that inspires mild indifference at best. Kao (pronounced “K.O.”) is a young kangaroo on a journey to find […]

I am exactly halfway up the wall of an exorbitant chateau in rural France when my cover is blown. As I hang suspended from vines that have outgrown their trellis, bullets pelt the area around me, punching concentrated holes in musty stone. Bizarrely, not a single slug connects with me until I have scaled the wall and entered the building, […]

This is not a review of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. If you clicked on this thinking that it would, in fact, be a review of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that is not what this is. Unfortunately for me, who agreed to review The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe for Polygon, to even describe […]
