The tastiest thing you can currently do in Haneda Girl is eject yourself from your mech straight into a streaking katana blow that carries you though a door and two torsos before teleport-summoning your mech as though inflating a lifejacket to gun down three other mooks in a giddy gout of purple gore. OK, that’s more than one thing. It is, according to local experts, a combo. What are combos good for? Score multipliers, that’s what. Here is a trailer. Ware the techno.

Park it. We haven't really gone a day without some kind of controversy in the Switch 2 world. And this time Mario Kart World is back in the spotlight, as Nintendo has responded to claims that some of the game's billboards appear to be created with AI. In a statement to Eurogamer, a spokesperson for Nintendo told the publication that "AI-generated images were not used in the development of Mario Kart World."

"Nintendo was very supportive". When Cyberpunk 2077 first launched back in 2020, it had more than its fair share of issues. Nevertheless, largely thanks to CD Projekt Red's excellent Witcher 3 port, there was a part of us that thought, "Man, it would be great to play this on a Switch one day." This feeling only strengthened as time went on and the developer managed to iron out the game's issues, resulting in an open-world experience like no other. Truth be told, none of us really thought it woul...

As promised, Epic Games today submitted Fortnite to the U.S. App Store, and if approved by Apple, it will mark the first time that the Fortnite app has been available in the United States since 2020. Fortnite will include options to purchase in-app currency from the web rather than through in-app purchase, which is what got the game banned to begin with. This time, though, Apple has been ordered to allow all developers, including Epic Games, to direct customers to purchase options that are ava...

Sci-fi FPS La Quimera is the first game from Reburn, a new incarnation of Metro co-developers 4A Games Ukraine. It's out now in early access. That last bit is a surprise: the developers had planned to release the new shooter as "a large, complete journey", but had to make "certain pivots" in the face of resource constraints, technical complications and, presumably, the broad impacts of living in a warzone. This led to a launch delay last week and then, the abrupt announcement that La Quimera wou...

Even with all the signs pointing to the launch of Hollow Knight Silksong arriving this year, it’s better not to spend too long thinking about it. Instead, I recommend plunging yourself headfirst into another fantastic 2D Metroidvania with all the action and platforming chops of Team Cherry’s classic. Inspired by Elden Ring developer Fromsoftware’s best game to date, Nine Sols is one of the strongest contenders to the Hollow Knight crown that I've played in a while, and you can currently get it c...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now verified on Steam Deck, all thanks to one small change made to the texture pool setting. Unfortunately, though, this is another example of a game having its rating incorrectly changed, as the game doesn't have the performance to justify the green tick of verification. Not every game runs great on the best handheld gaming PC, as the now aging hardware inside the Steam Deck is starting to struggle with new, triple-A games. The Indiana Jones and the Great C...

The prices of two AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards have leaked online, and if they're right, Nvidia will be jumping for joy. On Amazon, two XFX Swift OC listings appeared, one for the 8GB 9060 XT, and one for the 16GB model. The most notable one is the $449.99 price attached to the 8GB card, which is laughable, if it's correct. In general, 8GB VRAM graphics cards are a harder sell as game demands start to push right up against this figure. Most notably, the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle...

If you sent something you regret in a Google Messages RCS group chat, it looks like you'll soon be able to delete it for everyone, not just yourself. On Thursday, a Reddit user posted (via 9to5Google) a screenshot of the option in a public beta for Android's messaging app. The image from u/seeareeff shows a pop-up menu asking if they want to "Delete for everyone" or "Delete for me." Until now, the latter has been the app's only deletion option. The delete for everyone feature aligns with the RCS...

As far as I’m concerned, Nic Cage appearing in Dead by Daylight remains one of the most bonkers moments in recent gaming history. The iconic actor’s face and voice have been in the horror game for two years now as a chaotic survivor, and, since then, even more famous faces and voices have passed through The Fog.

Many moons ago, I read a book about the concept of 'The Devil.' Is he a little horned, goat-legged guy who likes to cause chaos? Or is he that eerie feeling in the back of your mind; the one that tells you to mess things up and see what happens. It certainly gave me a lot to think about (I read it at least ten years ago now), and It Has My Face, a new horror game published by Dead by Daylight's Behaviour Interactive, has brought it back to the forefront of my mind.
