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 That marks yet another week down, and there were so many indie video games this week. Not a terrible thing, but an interesting thing to take note of, since they generally do not get the highlight out there. Especially when titles like Fable and Life Is Strange: Reunion had some massive news drop out there. Thankfully, they did not overshadow video games like The Run and Annulus as they were brought into the forefront of the lists out there. Read More...

Backrooms The Backrooms are opening up onto the consoles further, with a release date set down for Backrooms Level X It was known that it was coming, but now the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch gamers will have a chance to wander about in Backrooms Level X. That is, it appears that Firenut Games has been able to get things together for this one and has a release date set for the console version of the game. It only took a bit of time, and it was announced it was coming this way, but on February 19th those wanting to experience Backrooms Level X on the consoles will have their chance. I hope you were able to avoid all the spoilers and other gameplay footage from streamers up to now, so you can experience it all for yourself. Read More...

Annulus Another strategy game, Annulus, is on the way to us all, and we have a little bit of a playtest for Annulus coming as well If you are in need of a new tactical strategy title that's set in a dark fantasy world, you're in luck, as we have Annulus on the way to us all for the PC. Not that we haven't had many of these to play around with in the past number of years, but this time it's NIRVANA's turn to take a swing at it all. Not the band, but the game developer who is trying to build a big world out there with Annulus and try to give us all something we might not have seen before in the gaming space. That all said, let's have a look at the little bit that we do for the game to see if it is going to stand out from the other titles in the same structure as it is. Read More...

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, the week has come to an end once more, and we had some fun with the various video games and films we had announced there. Some big ones like Resident Evil Requiem and Poppy Playtime had some highlights. Then we had a whole lot of smaller titles in the mix with Styx: Blades Of Greed, all to wrap with a good look at the upcoming film The Mortuary Assistant. Even if it was a shorter one around here, but that is on us and not the various video games out there that had something to add. Read More...

Resident Evil The latest showcase for Resident Evil Requiem is out there, and it shows how past Resident Evil titles are driving the gameplay Just as we have all been promised, we have a new showcase out for Resident Evil Requiem. Partially to get us hyped up to pre-order the game before Capcom drops it on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC, and partially to make sure we all know what titles from the past we should be familiar with before playing. Not just for the story, but as it seems that Grace will have some basis in certain Resident Evil titles when it comes to tone and gameplay, while Leon will have a vastly different one based on some of the other games. Grace being more of the tension and horror aspect of titles like RE2 and RE7. Read More...

I Must Find Her Gameplay for I Must Find Her is out there, and it further highlights how I Must Find Her will offer up a different take on these events With the many titles that have been out there about the Chernobyl disaster, it is interesting to see one take a different approach as I Must Find Her seems to be doing. We are still going to see a lot of the walking around and darkness that seeped into the world from it all, but it seems that Evil Deal Games will be mixing in a few other things into the game that might take us to some darker places. Usually, we get to see soldiers and other workers at the facility get their stories played out, but in I Must Find Her we get to hear how it affected the local population who were just living their lives before all of it. Read More...

Liminal Shroud Another haunting title in the liminal spaces setting, Liminal Shroud, is on the way to us & we have a small look at what Liminal Shroud brings It seems like the horrors of the liminal spaces just will never die, as we now have an announcement for the upcoming Liminal Shroud. Another in the growing list of titles that take place in the same setting, but are made by different teams out there. This one is coming from Everdeep Studios, who is setting up to bring us yet another title in the area on the PC. Although it does seem as if Liminal Shroud might be taking a bit of a different path than the others in this universe, which are only semi-linked together. Read More...

Hypnos A new exploration title, Hypnos, is teased out there to have us wander more of the realm of Hypnos when it is ready It will be time to enter into another Nameless City in the world out there, with the teaser that we have for Hypnos. This is a new title in the series of titles that Enclave and Redlock Studio are working on for the PC. A title that will have us walking about the lands where the gods dwell, even if this sounds more like a Lovecraftian horror than anything. Sounds can be deceiving, as the visuals that we have to look at for Hypnos, it is a lot lighter than we have seen in the genre before. Read More...

Star Trek Dive deeper into the combat of Star Trek Voyager: Across The Unknown and see just how we will be commanding everything in this Star Trek title The captain is on deck, as we take a look at the combat that we are going to have to master in Star Trek Voyager: Across The Unknown. Okay, that's a little off since we will be playing as the captain in the game, but we have gameXcite behind the controls of this new look, so we're not the captain in this instance. Not to mention, this is just a fun way to give us more on how we will be bringing this version of Star Trek Voyager to life, but also a way for Daedalic Entertainment to keep us reminded that it is coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 18th. Oh, and it looks like it has been confirmed for the Switch 2 now. Read More...

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 The world of video games never ceases to amaze me out there, as this week was a lot more packed than expected for a CES week. Not only did we get a lot to check out during the convention, but we also managed to get solid updates out to you all week. Some, like, Styx: Blades Of Greed gameplay, Dead By Daylight and Stranger Things kicking off the crossover, Resident Evil Requiem getting some fun new visuals, and the fact that we will be able to play Xbox video games without the need of an Xbox soon. Yeah, that one is a bit of a wild ride to think about, and we have all of that here on the site for you. Read More...

Grave Stakes The Early Access for Grave Stakes is here, and now we can play the dark gameshow that Grave Stakes is going to bring us With so much going on near the end of the year, it is interesting that we all lost sight of the next game show that was about to pop off with Grave Stakes. A title that was supposed to hit Early Access at the beginning of December last we heard, but it looks as if Wild West Games had to put the pause on that. Maybe the games were not ready yet, or the monstrous hosts needed a little extra makeup time. Either way, we did not see Grave Stakes when we thought. Read More...

Alone Psychological horror, Alone, is announced here and we will see how dark our dreams will truly be in the world of Alone If there is one thing that the horror genre is not going to be this year when it comes to games, is that we are not going to be short on them. Especially as we add in another small title to the mix with the announcement of Alone coming to the PC here. A new title on the way from River Flower Games that will not only be a horror, but one that delves a bit into mental health. It is odd how those keep getting intertwined, but for the masses, I'm assuming it is all still a horrifying thing. Read More...

007 First Light A new look at 007 First Light out of CES is here to show us just how NVIDIA will be pushing 007 First Light forward Fresh off the recent delay of 007 First Light, it looks like we have a lot more driving its way out to us for the game during CES. Not anything unusual, since the gadgets and vehicles in the IP get highlighted during the show, but here we go with a look at how IO Interactive is teaming up with NVIDIA to help give the PC version of the game a bit of a push before the new May 27th release date. Something that will help 007 First Light stand out further than the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2 versions of the game. That is the way of it all when it comes to this hardware. Read More...

Resident Evil Resident Evil is coming to life with the new Path Tracing & DLSS 4 features that Resident Evil Requiem will house It feels like it would not be CES without Capcom showing off something new out there with their games, and it looks like Resident Evil Requiem is taking the stage here. That might sound weird to many, but they do like offering their games to showcase either new PC hardware or showcase a new console feature. This goes back to the day when we were out there playing Resident Evil 5 on the side of a Las Vegas strip hotel before it launched. Read More...

Dead By Daylight The Stranger Things crossover for Dead By Daylight is finally here, with many more kids needing to survive Dead By Daylight Things are getting turned upside-down here in Dead By Daylight with the second chapter of Stranger Things officially out there in the game. We just couldn't let the IP die, and this is a good one to have in the game, so I guess it makes sense that Behaviour is getting this out to us. Even if it feels a little weird to have it after the main show of Stranger Things has come to a close. That's neither here nor there, though, as it does bring us more to play in Dead By Daylight on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC. Read More...
