Calico Gets a Neat Update of Neat Things

Well, that's concise. Does what it says on the tin. Not sure if anyone will get that reference, but we'll go with it. Crazy to see this happening after more than four years, but most certainly welcome. And with the addition of amphibians...does this mean we could see reptiles? Snakes would be awesome to see.…

Show Cthulhu Some Modern Military Hardware in Beneath

Honestly, it's long past time ol' tentacle face had to learn to contend with a stream of armour-piercing rounds, straight to the face. And that's exactly what we're about to see. And you could even be the one to do it, because they're currently accepting submissions for a closed beta. Oh my. Say fhtagn to…

Blood Bar Tycoon – Because Even Vampires Go on the Las…

Have you ever been playing a management sim, and thought "this game needs more gratuitous murder"? Well, we got you fam! 'Cause this time, you're a vampire, and you're all about getting your next din-dins. Just, y'know, make sure you don't kill all of your customers, 'cause you still have a bottom line to think…

The Hungry Lamb is Getting a Sequel

I keep saying, the Chinese dev scene is one to keep an eye on, and here's another example. Set to release at the end of 2025, the next game, The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall is already well under away. You can check the video to learn a little about the art…

Vermintide 2 is Going all Elven

It really never ceases to amaze me just how much support the game gets. It's been out for, like, practically a century, at this point. And today it got a new level set in an Elven temple. Overrun by rats, of course. So make sure those stairs go up, and start smashing.

Rune Factory Goes Full Cozy

Well, almost. Like the rest of the franchise, there's still combat and exploration. But this time around, we're getting a full on city builder experience. Not just a village to explore, but one we can full on create and customise to our hearts' content. Also, riding horses. What more could a growing boy need?

Alien Market Simulator has a Demo

Have you ever been to a newsagents (convenience store) and lamented the lack of extraterrestrial life? What do you mean 'no'? Anyway, that's what this is. You run a shop, stock the shelves and all that, but in space. Pretty cool idea, actually. These kinds of games are awesome little time sinks, very zen. And…

Super Puzzled Cat is Out Now

Be a cat, solve puzzles, slide on ice. The thing that actually caught my eye is save states. Not something we usually see outside of, ahh, let's say more obtuse methods of gaming. Being able to drop a save anywhere and really experiment with solutions is a really cool idea, that I think more puzzle…

Step Into Eriksholm and Extended Gameplay

Isometric stealth isn't something we see a whole lot of, and that's a crying shame if you ask me. So it's quite refreshing to see this. Especially since it's coming from, amongst other things, people who worked on Mirror's Edge. Not sure why there are so many British accents in a clearly Scandinavian county, but…

Be a Cat, Right Now! Stars in the Trash is Out

With a 10% off launch discount, you can dig through the garbage...and find some gold. That's a whole tenner (£8.99 in the UK) to be a cat. But it gets better. Just a picture of yourself playing the game with a cat in your lap, could net you a customised postcard. Check the press release…

The Ghost Who Walks is Getting a Video-game

Don't know who that is? I'm sure some of you will. But for those who don't, let's put it this way. Marvel and DC aren't the only people who have been making comics for a century. Though The Phantom did appear in DC for a while. Anyhoo, he's getting his own game, and it looks…

Squad Finally Has Friends Lists

Bit weird that it's taken so long to implement, but here we are. It's here, now, and that's what really matters. Included in the 8.2 update, that's not all. You can read about the rest below, but the wee image above should give you a little hint.

Scum Goes Questing

With the game hitting version 0.96 (so close!) there are some new things to sink into. The largest being the new Quest system. You can, as would be expected, go off on quests, now. Either single-player, or online with others. Kinda' ominous, really. But check out the press release, below, for all the deets. Including…

Stars in the Trash – Be a Cat, Root Through Trash

Coming next week, December 9th to be precise, this is exactly what it says on the tin. Featuring a hand-drawn art style, you can be a cat. That's literally listed as a selling point. You can see it at the bottom of the press release, down below. 'Nuff said, really. Except, there are a couple…
