Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week Well, this was certainly a solid week in video games and all of the interactive media out there. The big thing being that the Nintendo Switch 2 was shown to the world officially and then we have a whole lot for the Until Dawn movie that is on the way in a few months. In addition to all of that, We had another fun look at the upcoming Virtua Fighter title out of CES 2025 along with a few new video games in the Backrooms line of things. All from different developers and to give us all different looks into the horror IP out there. Read More...

Backrooms Get ready to escape The Backrooms in a different way when The Backrooms: 1998 launches onto the various consoles out there After a long spat as an Early Access title for the PC out there, it looks as if The Backrooms: 1998 will finally be coming over to the consoles and giving the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch gamers a chance to see how this all flows out there. At least as fast as Feardemic can get them out on the platforms with the PS5 being the getting its listing first and the others still to come. Along with no release date for us all to look at too.

Mortal Kombat Conan The Barbarian is almost here for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns and we have a taste of what he will do to the Mortal Kombat universe Get ready to slash things up a bit more in Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, as Conan The Barbarian is about to enter the arenas out there. This is the next DLC character that NetherRealm Studios has been working on for the game and is currently slated to be fully available on January 21st for those who have the Expansion passes or are ready to shell out to add the character in on his own. All so we can get another massive Arnold Schwarzenegger character into the Mortal Kombat IP for us to do what they do best. Kill and do so in some very imaginative ways. Read More...

Switch 2 All the speculation of the Nintendo Switch 2 can now be put to rest with the official first look at the new Switch 2 The wait is over, and kind of begun, as the Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially shown off and announced out there. 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...

Donkey Kong Donkey Kong and the family are coming back as Donkey Kong Country Returns HD launches out to the world once more The Switch is just about to give us all more of that nostalgia feeling out there with the launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. The adventure that started years ago with Nintendo is now ready, on January 16th, to bring us all back in or bring in new fans to enjoy the game again. Maybe even to further introduce gamers to Donkey Kong after the film and other versions of the character have shown up to audiences that might not have known where they all came from. The solid mix of players out there to keep the IP rolling and jumping along the rails out there once again. Read More...

Tomb Raider A look at the coming bosses in Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is here so you can get ready to face them all again with our Tomb Raider If you needed to respoil what is on the way to us for Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered in terms of the bosses, it is time to gear up and dive into a new tomb. That is what we have to hype us all up today for when Aspyr drops this new remake on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC this coming February 14th. Those who have been playing the Tomb Raider titles for a while now should know what is on the way, just in a better visual quality. Read More...

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. Read More...

Carmen Sandiego The release dates for Carmen Sandiego are now set down for us so we can head back into the hunt for Carmen Sandiego again It was announced not too long ago that we would be seeing another Carmen Sandiego title back in the mix of things on the PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, PC, and various mobile devices via Netflix Games. 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. Read More...

Toxic Crusaders Some new updates are here for Toxic Crusaders to give us a sign of what is to come later in the year when Toxic Crusaders releases It has been a bit since we had a solid update for Toxic Crusaders, unless you have been lucky enough to go to various smaller gaming conventions around the United States. That is where Retroware has been showing off the bulk of the game updates, changes, and allowing some to play the demo live with them. A demo that PC gamers can pick up and experience as we have already here. Read More...

Ayasa Join in the fun with Ayasa as you take on the latest demo that is now out there for Ayasa: Shadows Of Silence Those who might be in the market for a fun new title on the way to us can now take notice that Ayasa: Shadows Of Silence has a new demo for us all to play out there. At least there is a new demo on the PC with Aya Games still working on getting the full title there and on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch too. That is still slated for 2025, but as mentioned, we can get a small slice of the game right now to see just what kind of adventure Ayasa will be taking us all along. In a new platformer that looks to be set in a very different post-apocalyptic world with even more weirdness going on than the usual setting for it all. 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...

Sure, we are going to be getting a bunch of new characters to play with in the game, but 10:10 Games is giving us another cameo level to experience too. One that will get so many people in a specific fandom excited and ready to head back into their cozy show. Funko Fusion is finally taking us all into The Office and we can all do that right now on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC if you are ready to shell out for some sweet new DLC. Read More...

Dead By Daylight The holiday event for Dead By Daylight is back and bringing all the bone-chilling events back into the Dead By Daylight universe We have made the joke a few times already, but it is that time of year again when all of the holiday fun starts to seep into our video games, and here we go with Dead By Daylight getting the update. The Bone Chill Event that Behaviour has offered up before is back and running as of right now until January 7th on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
