Your Only Move Is Hustle hit Steam back in February this year, but had been on Itch.io before that. It’s a strange prospect, because while this is undoubtedly a fighting game, it’s also turn-based, and matches can take up to thirty minutes depending on the people and characters in play. While most fighting games have […]

Survival horror fans, rejoice! The Super Famicom classic, Clock Tower, is getting remastered for modern consoles.
In an LRG3 presentation event held by Limited Run Games today, the company confirmed that a remaster was in the works and development is a collaboration effort between Capcom, Sunsoft, WayForward, and Limited Run. This remaster also marks the first time the original Clock Tower game will see an official release outside of Japan, which up until this point only had fan translations.
"Starting with River City Girls Zero, we've been bringing these Japanese-only releases to a Western audience," WayForward CEO and Founder Voldi Way said in the announcement video.
Clock Tower was originally released in 1995 and is not to be...
The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived: the verdict is in for Microsoft vs. FTC, and Team Xbox has won! We spend the entire show discussing the massive implications of the ruling, which seems to have set the stage for Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision-Blizzard to finally go through. We talk about the games we might see out of it - particularly from Raven Software - the very serious matter of how Xbox boss Phil Spencer must take steps to clean up the toxic workplace culture at ABK, whether or not Microsoft (and Sony) are done making big acquisitions, and more!

Gex Trilogy – a collection of Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko – is officially coming to modern consoles, Limited Run Games announced during a livestream today.
The snarky lil gecko will be hitting the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The stream didn’t announce a release date or show off any gameplay, but it did note that it’s being remastered with the Carbon Engine.
Gex was first released all the way back in 1995 for the EDO and later ported onto the original PlayStation, the Sega Saturn, and PC. It spawned sequels in 1998 and 1999, but publisher Square Enix hasn’t released any new entries since.
Fans have long hoped for a return, though. The games were...
Skyrim's prevalent modding scene is notorious in the video game industry for extending the life of one of Bethesda's greatest games. But right now, the modding landscape is surrounded by controversy because of the rise of AI-generated voice clips in mods based on real Skyrim voice actors. If that doesn't raise enough ethical questions already, some of the mods feature pornographic AI voice performances, causing backlash and outcry in the voice actor community.
This issue was first reported on by GamesRadar, which called attention to Nexus Mods, a mod distributor that hosts a number of the pornographic Skyrim mods in question. When IGN reached out to Nexus Mods for comment on this story, a spokesperson simply linked to the site's...
The Steam Deck is a terrific handheld gaming device. It's powerful enough to play some of the best PC games while also being compact enough to take on the go. Unlike the Nintendo Switch, however, it doesn't come with a dedicated dock to connect it to your TV. Fortunately, all you need to do is pick up a separate Steam Deck dock to play games on the big screen.
If you want the very best Steam Deck dock, it actually just went on sale on Amazon today for Prime Day 2023. With the Steam Summer sale going on through tomorrow, now is a great time to buy some dedicated accessories for you new Steam Deck handheld for less.

Our all-around favorite Steam Deck dock, the JSAUX Docking Station HB0603 does everything...
In the year and a half since Xbox announced its intentions to acquire Activision-Blizzard for $68.7 billion way back in January of 2022, it's felt at times like we're all just kids in the backseat of a car asking, "Are we there yet?." Everyone's a little sick of hearing about it by now, but every few weeks it seems like there's a new trial, a new document, a new email, or something else to bring forward more speculation of whether or not the deal will go through. Yesterday's verdict denying the FTC’s request for a pause on the deal until its August hearing is another such moment.
But after months of waiting, it seems like the answer is finally, “Yes, we’re here.” According to the analysts and legal experts I’ve spoken with in the wake...
As with a lot of sequels, Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals sticks with what works. The first Oxenfree became an instant favorite because it’s a horror game about being on the edge, both literally and metaphorically. It centers on teens on the cusp of adulthood battling terrifying ghosts trapped on the boundary of reality between space and time. Those were two edges that worked extremely well together, especially with time-travel elements that make possible futures and outcomes feel more real. In some ways, Lost Signals feels familiar to the point of being somewhat repetitive, but it still goes just a bit further. You have a similar array of secrets to uncover, dialogue to engage in, and choices to make that can drastically impact the ending and...
Eventually inflation comes for us all, and Xbox gamers are not immune. With Starfield coming out September 6, Microsoft recently raised the price of Game Pass Ultimate to $16.99 per month. Thankfully, during the Prime Day 2023 sale, Amazon is leaning the other direction. Right now you can get three months of Game Pass Ultimate for $39.99. That’s $11 less than you’d have to pay if you got it directly from Microsoft. It’s not even technically a Prime Day deal, so it’s available to everyone.
Game Pass Ultimate Deal
Yes, Starfield is coming to Game Pass Ultimate at launch. Forza Motorsport is another big first-party game coming to the service in October. And there are already well over 100 games on the service you can download and play to...
Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells is retiring at the end of the year, leaving Neil Druckmann to fully take the reins of one of the PlayStation's best-known studios.
In a message published on Naughty Dog's officiate site, Wells talked about his 30 year career in games and praised Druckmann, saying that he's "incredibly confident" that he's leaving the studio in "the best hands."
"This is something that I’ve been discussing with Naughty Dog’s Studio Leadership Team for well over a year, and with Neil for even longer than that," Wells wrote.
"The decision brings with it overwhelming and conflicting emotions, but I’ve come to realize that I’m content with my time at the studio and all that we’ve accomplished together over the last 25...
At the heart of the multiple ongoing legal challenges to Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, one core theme has cropped up again and again: will Xbox take Call of Duty exclusive if the deal is done? Xbox has repeatedly said no both verbally and in writing, and according to a judge in the recent FTC v. Microsoft trial, that attitude has been consistent even in Microsoft's most secretive, internal documentation.
Today, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley issued her decision on the Federal Trade Commission's move for a preliminary injunction on the merger, which would have stopped it from completing as scheduled next week until it could be brought to a hearing in August. And in that ruling, she revealed that Xbox is remarkably...
Microsoft just held its latest ID@Xbox showcase highlighting a slew of indie games that will make their way onto Xbox platforms. While this is not saying all these games will be console exclusive, Xbox wanted to highlight just a handful of some of the many wonderful indie titles that its fans can look forward to in the future.
If you missed the showcase, don't worry; here's a roundup of all the games that appeared at the event. Plus five games that stood out.
Stray Souls
Announced in 2021, Stray Souls is an upcoming indie horror game from Jukai Studio and one of a handful of games that will use Unreal Engine 5. Stray Souls follows Daniel, a teenager who recently inherited a house from his grandmother. As my colleague Ryan McCaffrey...
The developer of Battalion 1944 has announced all Kickstarter backers will get a full refund regardless of platform, pledge tier, or time played in the game.
In an unusual move, Bulkhead Interactive said all 10,096 backers, who had collectively pledged £317,281 to help bring the World War 2-themed first-person shooter to life, will receive refund instructions via email.
Battalion 1944 was Bulkhead’s first multiplayer game, and was made by a team of 18 people in just 19 months. While it enjoyed a strong early access launch in 2019, with a number of high-profile streamers bigging it up, Battalion 1944 suffered a significant drop-off soon after.
Bulkhead was acquired by fellow UK developer Splash Damage in December, and it’s Splash...
Console deals are pretty much par for the course during these sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday. But this one is slightly different. I mean, yes, it is a console at an insane price, but there's an extra carrot on the end of the stick this year. Not sure about you, but just reading about the upcoming Starfield game has me scrambling to buy an Xbox so I can spend my entire winter exploring space.
I think a lot of people would be doing the same thing while Xbox consoles were at full price, but now thanks to Prime Day, you can grab yourself a certified refurbished Xbox Series S for just £149.99. Coming down from £249.99, that's a huge drop in price. Plus, if you top up your account by £40, Amazon will also give you another £5...
343 has announced a big update for Halo: Master Chief Collection, due out Wednesday July 12.
The core update, the first for MCC in over six months, adds a significant amount of new content for the shooter, welcome quality-of-life tweaks as well as modding improvements.
The highlight here is Firefight, which gets a number of important improvements. First up is the addition of a seamless drop-in-drop-out Firefight experience. This means players can now join-in-progress, as well as use the match rejoin feature in Firefight matchmade games. “Firefight matches tend to last longer than multiplayer matches," 343 software engineer Dana Jerpbak said in a post on Halo Waypoint, "and now if you experience a connection hiccup during the match...
Dave the Diver sold an impressive 1 million copies just 10 days after launch.
Mintrocket’s debut game launched on Steam on June 28 and quickly shot up the most-played games chart. Its peak concurrent player record is currently 98,000, with 66,000 concurrent viewers achieved on Twitch.
Dave the Diver is a 2.5D pixel art game in which you explore the deep sea during the day and run a sushi restaurant at night. IGN’s Dave the Diver review returned a 9/10: “Dave The Diver is an aquatic adventure RPG that’s wholesome, wonderfully complex, and delightfully hard to put down.”
“I appreciate the community so much for being active and providing crucial feedback,” said Game Director Jaeho Hwang. “We improved a lot of systems and found bugs...
The boss of Blizzard has insisted Diablo 4 will not launch on Game Pass amid rumours the action role-playing game is set to hit Microsoft’s subscription service.
Responding to a tweet that mentioned Diablo 4’s availability in Xbox Game Pass on a Brazilian payments app, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra said: “This is not happening.”
That’s a definitive-sounding statement, but it hasn’t stopped some fans from wondering whether Diablo 4 will eventually come to Game Pass if Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion buyout of Activision Blizzard goes through.
The entertainment world awaits a verdict in the FTC trial some experts say will determine the fate of the deal. An announcement could now be imminent, with all eyes on the San Francisco judge...
As Diablo 4 nears the launch of Season 1, players are working through the endgame, hitting the level cap and completing some of the game’s toughest challenges. But for some, that is not enough. For some, the ultimate challenge is hitting enemies for billions of points of damage just five weeks after launch.
Last week, Diablo 4 streamer Moxsy hit the highest damage ever in-game: 957,957,504.
But it didn’t take long for Moxsy to break through the billion barrier with an incredible 1.8 billion hit.
Since then, a Diablo 4 YouTuber called Echohack posted a screenshot showing a 2.1 billion hit.
These astronomical damage numbers are beyond what the vast majority of Diablo 4 characters are currently capable of, and make the game’s...
Spy shooter No One Lives Forever was critically-acclaimed when it released back in 2000, earning multiple awards nods and a sequel. We called it one of the best shooters of the year in our original review. If you want to play it in 2023, though, you'll have to turn to one of the handful of digital archives available on the internet, because neither No One Lives Forever nor its sequel are commercially available on Steam nor anyone else.
No One Lives Forever is one example of a market where just 13 percent of games made before 2010 are commercially available, a new study conducted by the Video Game History Foundation revealed. For every remastered update of Metroid Prime, thousands of games are difficult or even possible to obtain...
Warning: The below story contains spoilers for The Boys Season 3.
The Boys’ Black Noir has returned from the dead – kind of – to reveal the details of the previously teased collaboration between the Prime Video superhero series and Call of Duty.
Black Noir confirmed (in his trademark silent fashion) that he’ll be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 along with Starlight (Erin Moriarty) and Homelander (Anthony Starr) with a press conference video posted by Vought International, the fictional corporation that oversees the superheroes within The Seven.
Of course, those who watch The Boys know that Black Noir died at the end of Season 3, which today’s video has an answer for. It says at the beginning in a text card that “the following press...
Paul Eiding, the voice actor behind Colonel Campbell in the Metal Gear Solid series, has spoken out about the use of his voice for AI projects without his permission.
Eiding tweeted yesterday urging content creators not to use his voice of Colonel Campbell and other characters from Transformers, Fallout, and other work involving him in an illegal manner.
“If you do not have written permission to use my voice, you DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION to use my voice,
including AI use,” he wrote. “Doing so is a violation of my legal rights and a real slap in the face.”
Eiding’s anger over the AI use of his voice comes on the heels of Erica Lindbeck, who voices Futaba Sakura in Persona 5, Hrist in God of War Ragnarok, and Blaze the Cat in the Sonic...
It's official: Sega of America has unionized. More than 200 workers working out of the company's offices in Irvine and Burbank voted today to unionize under the Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega banner, which is represented by the Communications Workers of America.
The election took place on July 10, with 91 voting "yes" and 26 voting "no." There were also 19 challenged ballots and three void ballots. It encompassed workers in departments including Brand Marketing, Games as a Service, Localization, Marketing, Product Development Ops, Sales, Quality Assurance, and others.
Sega of America workers announced the union back in April, with demands including higher base pay, improved benefits, and clear opportunities for career...
100 Thieves announced their new Fortnite game mode called “Bank Heist” coming to the community creator list July 11th at 11 AM PDT. Bank Heist will be available by searching the community pages or by using their island code that goes public tomorrow. I got a half hour of game time in so here’s what to expect going into Bank Heist.
Bank Heist is a 3v3 team-based game. You can queue in with a group of 6 if you want to face off against your friends and your teammates will be randomized when you enter the game mode. One team of three are the Defenders, and the other team are the Attackers.
There are four set classes you can pick: Muscle, Tank, Grenadier, and Sniper. Each has specific guns tied to their classes with the Tank having a...
There’s a beautiful scene in the second half of Venba where Venba, a mother with an adult son, spends all day joyfully cooking a veritable feast of different foods. The scene is wonderfully executed in so many ways - the context, the timing of the cooking and the music, and the way Venba’s confidence in the kitchen comes across through gameplay. But what had me in tears well before the actual emotional turning point of the scene was how clearly the developers managed to convey food as an expression of relentless love.
When I went to meet my fiance’s family in Georgia for the first time in 2021, I too was loved in this way. I didn’t grow up in a household where cooking happened with any regularity, so it wasn’t until meeting Amma and...

Recently-announced Xbox game Clockwork Revolution is the “love child” of Arcanum and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
That’s according to Clockwork Revolution game director Chad Moore, who worked on both cult-classic role-playing games before joining Microsoft-owned studio inXile Entertainment.
Arcanum is a much-loved 2001 steampunk RPG developed by the defunct Troika Games. Both Moore and Clockwork Revolution principal designer Jason Anderson worked on Arcanum before moving on to Troika’s cult-classic 2004 RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Now, over 20 years later, the pair are back together making Clockwork Revolution.
“With deep world building, compelling narrative, crunchy RPG systems, engaging gameplay, and massive...
The actor who plays Adam Jensen from Deus Ex has said he has yet to be asked to reprise his role.
Elias Toufexis, who played protagonist Jensen in Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, took to Twitter to reply to a question asking if he was working on a new game in the series.
“Yeah, as happy as I am to be busy, I wish I was even more busy on a new Deus Ex. I am not under any NDA for Deus Ex because no one has called me about it. Truly.”
Toufexis’ tweet has saddened fans of the series, which was left unfinished after 2016’s Mankind Divided ended on a cliffhanger.
In November, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier tweeted to say a new Deus Ex was in the works at Eidos Montreal, although still in the "very...
