All of that and it looks like we have a bit of a first look for us all to start a different kind of speculation as we wait for the full details and launch of the new console this year. Sadly, the first will have to wait until April 2nd when we are going to get the full Nintendo Direct showing off all of the features or any of the various locations around the world where you can get handsy with the Switch 2 before everyone else. Thankfully, we have a good starting point for some of that speculation and a fun first look at just how the system is going to look and handle. Read More...

Chernobylite Fans of Chernobylite can now help bring Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone into a full release state here right now New challenges are on the way out there with Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, and we are not talking about just with the issues going on in the game's world out there. In this instance, we are talking about The Farm 51 getting the game over the final hurdles out there and releasing it on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Some of that is just more work to iron out minor things in the game and some of it is funding those hardships out there. That is where we can all step in, as the team has opened up a Kickstarter for Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone that we can all toss our money at and gain a few little extras along the way.

House Of The Dead Another bit of House Of The Dead fun is on the way back to us all with the announcement for The House Of The Dead 2: Remake It looks like we all loved the first remake that was out there that now we have The House Of The Dead 2: Remake on the way to us all now. I mean, Megapixel Studio and Forever Entertainment did an amazing job bringing us the previous remake to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC that it would make sense for them to bring the next one back to us all. Even if we do need to wait until the Spring of this year to see how The House Of The Dead saga continues in our homes. Those of us who were able to play the originals in arcades might know how it all goes, but that was half a century ago, so it would be understandable if we all forgot some of that along the way.

Hyperkin Hyperkin has a new controller on the way with a look at the updated Hyperkin Competitor controller While gaming is not usually a huge focus out at CES, this year Hyperkin came on out there to show off the new Hyperkin Competitor as it is licensed by Xbox. Normally, it is not a huge thing and one would expect it to just be something that has the branding of the company on another company's product. That is only slightly the case with this one as the Hyperkin Competitor is taking the form of another competitor's product to give many gamers a layout and experience that was only able through third-party and other backdoor ways out there. The biggest bit being that it is an Xbox Series X|S style controller but without the split stick design. Read More...

Restitched A new 2.5D platformer, Restitched, is announced with Restitched giving off a feel of another big title in the genre Those who are fans of 2.5D adventure using stitched together creatures will be glad to see we have another adventure on the way with Restitched. No, this is not another title in the line of a popular mascot IP, but a new one that Trixel Creative will be putting together on the PC. One that feels like it is getting right up to the line of things but not crossing it so Restitched will be able to launch out there. Once you are able to dive into the newly released gameplay footage to come along with this big announcement, you might be able to figure out what we are talking about without calling out the other IPs directly.

There was a bit of a mixed reception at the time, but that did not stop Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions from pushing forward and building the game out further for us all to get excited about. It is a return to form with the thief in the world and I, for one, was excited to see how it will be us playing as Carmen Sandiego in the game and not specifically hunting her down again.

More so when we learn that Dream Cage will have us facing off with some true demons and not just those that our brains might be making up for this PC title. Read More...

Shadow Labyrinth A new take on an old IP is coming with Shadow Labyrinth getting an announcement and gearing up for Shadow Labyrinth in 2025 Get ready for a fun new twist on an IP that is older than most of the hardcore gaming community out there with the announcement of Shadow Labyrinth. Before you dive in and try to find a bunch of things about that name, that is not what Bandai Namco is bringing back to life. In fact, this might have been spoiled a bit if you watched all of the Secret Level episodes before the full announcement came. Shadow Labyrinth is a fully different take on the Pac-Man IP with a new action-platformer coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC in 2025. Read More...
