It's ironic that a site that enjoys the Earth Defense Force series as much as we do hasn't covered the upcoming Earth Defense Force 6 until now. We've been busy, okay? D3 Publisher recently announced a Japanese release date for EDF 6, however, so it's time to start preparing. Earth Defense Force 6 will arrive on PlayStation 4 a...
It's finally time to unpack that boomstick and oil up the chainsaw again! On May 13th, the aptly named Evil Dead: The Game will finally hit store shelves. The first new Evil Dead release since 2005s Evil Dead: Regeneration (we don't count those lackluster mobile titles in between). We really can't wait to take on the Kandarian Demon with our friends. We may even stop playing Elden Ring for it.
As home arcade fans surely know, iiRcade is a home arcade cabinet/console for which players can legally purchase classic and modern indie games. This week, the platform’s co-op options just improved thanks to the addition of online co-op to the excellent Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode III as well as the launch of a new beat ‘em up with local co-op, The Age of Heroes: Silkroad 2.
The original House of the Dead arcade game is one of the titles for which Sega famously lost the source code, hence there were no further ports of the game after the Saturn and PC versions in 1998. Despite the first game’s limited availability, it would go on to spawn numerous sequels and even a terrible Uwe Boll film. Now, more than 20 years...
Last night the Nick, Jason and Locke dove headfirst into a virtual table-top RPG sans VR goggles. Demeo: PC Edition is out in early access on PC and with it comes broader support to the tactical RPG where players must conquer three levels of a dungeon together.
iiRcade is a home arcade cabinet/console for which players can legally purchase classic and modern indie games. Today, two classic co-op games launched on the platform: Elevator Action Returns from Taito and Twin Cobra from Toaplan. What’s more, five new iiRcade games just received online multiplayer features, including the obscure-but cool beat ‘em up, Knuckle Bash, and the vertically-scrolling shoot ‘em up, Dogyuun, both of which feature 2-player co-op. Plus, the platform just got an auto-fire option for shoot 'em ups.
Exclusives aren’t necessarily a good thing for gamers, so it’s nice when a timed exclusive heads to more platforms. When the Switch version of The House of the Dead: Remake arrived at the beginning of April, we predicted that other versions wouldn’t be far behind. That has now proven to be true, because Forever Entertainment just announced that HotD: Remake will launch on Xbox, PlayStation, Stadia, and PC on April 28. That’s not a terribly long wait for beefier versions of the classic horror-themed shooter.
It has certainly been a cowabunga-cool week, Turtles fans. The highly anticipated TMNT: The Shredder’s Revenge finally got a release window yesterday, and preorders have opened for a physical limited edition of the also-anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. The limited edition of the 13-game collection will come with some attractive physical items, but gamers may balk at how much the whole thing costs.
It's a great year for Turtles-loving gamers. Not only do we get the exciting TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection from Konami, but Dotemu Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge in store for us as well. Shredder's Revenge is an all-new cooperative beat 'em up that draws on the iconography of the 1987 TMNT cartoon series. Today, we learned that the game takes things a step further by utilizing the original voice actors from the 1987 cartoon as well!
Is this the year of the retro collection? Taito Milestones and Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection have already come along, and the upcoming TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection is hotly anticipated. Sega wants in on that classic compilation action too, as Sonic Origins now has a firm release date of June this year. Alongside the release date and opening of the preorders are new details about what the collection of 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog games will contain.
It’s hard to imagine nowadays, but long ago, two of the 8-bit era’s most popular beat ‘em up franchises once teamed up in a single game called Battletoads/Double Dragon. Developed by the wizards at Rare, the crossover game deftly mixed the two properties to produce a game that remains well-liked by those who played it. Sadly, Batt...
Drinkbox Studios, the developers of the Guacamelee series, released Nobody Saves the World as a timed Xbox and PC exclusive earlier this year. A lighthearted fantasy-RPG, Nobody Saves the World stars a character named Nobody who can shapeshift into various forms. Now that time has passed, the game has finally arrived on PlayStation and Switch. As if that wasn't cool enough, all versions of Nobody Saves the World now have local co-op in addition to the 2-player online co-op that the Xbox and PC games started with.
