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...

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.

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...

Marvel Rivals Season one of Marvel Rivals is almost here with some new characters and villains on the way to Marvel Rivals very soon Now that we have had a good amount of time to stew in what Marvel Rivals had to offer in Season 0 of its lifecycle, we are here to see the official release of Season 1 out there. The first full season of new content to join the game as NetEase Games has promised and to see if it will have the staying power on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC as it did over the holidays. Given that this will further expand some of the story in Marvel Rivals, that will be fun. 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 As we though, this has been a rather short and slow week for all of our video games out there. We still had a few fun and new announcements, but a good portion of it all was catching up on things like the Ōkami sequel that is on the way, a look at the next thing for Dying Light, new modes for Hollowbody, and getting Think As Thieves out there in the mix. Not a week full of video games, sure, but one that had a whole lot for us to look at even with all of the holidays that have been going down. If only there was a good way to keep things going and the lights on better without needing to do all of the hard work when we should be having some happy times. 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...

Thick As Thieves It is time to become Thick As Thieves with the latest stealth game that we had announced recently also called Thick As Thieves Grab your thieves’ tools and gear up to head into a new video game experience with Thick As Thieves. A new title that OtherSide Entertainment and Megabit are working on that gives us pretty much what the title is alluding to. A new stealth game where we are taking up the role of thieves in a multiplayer setting to see who can get the big score first. All of which on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when Thick As Thieves is ready to launch. Read More...

Onimusha A new Onimusha title is on the way after a very long wait with the announcement for Onimusha: Way Of The Sword It only took a bit of time, but it seems like Capcom is ready to bring back yet another title from the past and not in a remaster or remake style with the announcement for Onimusha: Way Of The Sword. It seems to be all the rage for them and I am sure that fans of the action series will be glad to finally have a fully new entry into the IP. That and to head back into feudal Japan with the fantasy that it all can bring us on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Read More...

Hollowbody A new third-person mode for Hollowbody is out there along with many other fun updates for Hollowbody too If you have played and enjoyed all that Hollowbody had to offer up for us so far on the PC, then get ready to have a whole new way to play the game and enjoy it all again. It looks as if Headware Games has not only been working hard on improving the game through its normal patches but has added in a whole new feature for us to experience with the latest update. If you wanted more of an interactive experience for Hollowbody and see what is going on for our character, then you will be overly excited to know that we now have a way to play the game in third-person mode. Yeah, now we get to see every swing and shot our character makes along the way as well as get ready for some extra hits coming at us. Read More...

Ōkami A sequel to Ōkami has finally been announced and those Ōkami fans only had to wait about twenty years for it all It looks like we only had to wait about twenty years to finally get a Ōkami sequel in our lives. Well, at least to get the announcement that we are going to finally get a sequel to the game from Capcom out here. So, there is still a whole lot of waiting we are going to have to do before we get the full sequel to Ōkami on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC out there. Maybe a few other platforms too, but we still have to wait to get all of that confirmation out there. Read More...

Dying Light A new look at Dying Light: The Beast is here and it gives us a look at the new villain we will face in the Dying Light universe It is time to meet the big villain we are going to have to face down in Dying Light: The Beast. All so Kyle and score a win for the greater good out there in the universe and so Techland can keep the fun of the IP flowing out there just a bit more. Especially as this almost was not going to be a title that we might have seen in the Dying Light mix due to the gaming community. Just like the infected in the game, though, it looks like it cannot be kept down. Read More...

Beneath Let us dive into the abyss with Beneath as we get a little more gameplay to hype us all up for the release of Beneath The heart-pounding action of Beneath is back on display after a bit of a hiatus out there, but it is time to head down into the abyss and get hyped up. That is what Camel 101 is going to want for us as we gear up to play this first-person title on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. As long as you are cool with having a bit more of the horror under the sea and with some otherworldly monsters who look like they are right at home in some of the deep abysses of the ocean. Let us have a look at how Beneath is going to try to stand out from all of the other titles like it. 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 It is time to wrap this week of video games up just as you should be doing for all of your Christmas and other holiday gifts out there right now. As long as you are one of those out there who have been buying into the season and not just focused on things like the new Turok: Origins, Split Fiction, and Borderlands 4 that are on the way in the next year. Those are all some fun video games to look forward to in the coming year, but there is not much that can be played as of right now. We will leave that for other titles you will hopefully be getting in the coming week here. Read More...

Dark Atlas Head deeper into the story for Dark Atlas: Infernum with the latest showcase we have for this Dark Atlas title that is on the way Those looking for a little more darkness in life can get excited about what is out there for Dark Atlas: Infernum now. A new little bit for the game has been offered up by Night Council Studio and SelectaPlay that will take us a little further into the darkness the game is going to give us.

Along with the fact that if this tickles the correct fancies out there, you can also give a new demo for Dark Atlas: Infernum a play and see if it will mirror what is going on in the real world or give you another fun escape into a fantasy away from all of the troubles out there.

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...
