If Paul Atreides could shoot lightning from his hands … Spiders released an appropriately titled “overview trailer” for its upcoming sci-fi action-RPG,Mars: War Logs, which is also appropriately titled: there’s a war, it takes place on Mars, and you’ll be shooting, electrifying, dodging, talking, flirting, and billy-clubbing your way through it later this summer. Narrated by Spiders CEO Jehanne Rousseau, the above-embedded trailer gives you a pretty sweeping look atMars: the premise, the characters, the outline of the plot....

Look at that glistening tongue And I don’t just mean theAssassin’s Creed-esque face! Brett and I partnered up for a few rounds of first-person mode, and the end result felt like a mix between a walking sim as we combed over houses and survival horror as the weather took a turn for the worse and we seemingly entered Silent Hill. I kept getting paranoid about who (orwhat) might be lurking behind us....

I found the DLC inconsistent, but don’t regret buying it After a window of timed exclusivity on PlayStation 4, Capcom has now releasedBanned Footage Vol. 1andVol. 2forResident Evil 7on Xbox One and PC. They’re priced at $10 and $15, respectively. My thoughts onBanned Footage Vol. 1fall in line with Zack’s, which you canhear more about in his full review. In short: “Bedroom” is a nerve-wracking escape-the-room puzzle scenario with Marguerite that I loved but likely won’t play again, the survival-centric “Nightmare” is surprisingly loads of fun, and “Ethan Must Die” is too damn punishing for me to want to try and make more headway....

There’s a PS5-exclusive standalone ‘Maiden’ demo out today During this afternoon’sResident Evilshowcase event, Capcom announced aMay 7, 2021worldwide release forResident Evil Village. That includes not just PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, but also the getting-on-in-years PS4 and Xbox One. Capcom “worked hard” to pull off the simultaneous launch.

Create-your-own It can be tough reviewing games aimed at kids. A lot of people flat out refuse to play them, which sometimes leads to me feeling weird for enjoying them. Thankfully I have an amazing wife who still watches Disney movies, so that stigma is quickly washed away — and returns after the elementary plot and lame jokes kick in. ButSkylandershas one big thing going for it: it has substance and character, and always stays true to its beat-’em-up roots....

No longer the Land of the Rising Ramps At the beginning ofRocket League‘scompetitive season 4, players scored a major victory. They lobbied Psyonix so hard to remove Neo Tokyo from competitive play that the developer finally buckled and pulled it. The much-maligned map (although some defended and enjoyed it) featured elevated sections on the far left and right sides, which critically altered how games would play out. Psyonix isn’t keen to pull it permanently, so it’s offering a compromise of sorts....

Chroma chroma chroma chroma chroma chameleon I played a lot ofXCOMlast year, between running throughEnemy Unknownlate andEnemy Within. The blend of on the ground, turn-based combat and back home base management simulation hooked me. Chroma Squadis basically that. Except you’re directing a Sentai with actors in colorful spandex dancing around lots of explosions and turtle and plant monsters. It’s pretty great. I got a chance to playChroma Squadfrom the beginning....

Here’s a Japanese version of theSonic Generations“City Escape” trailer. The most notable part of the video is the choice of music, as it shows off the new version of the stage’s “Escape From The City” theme tune. This is the version that will play during the “Modern” Sonic stage. Otherwise, the footage is what we have seen before, with lots of blue hedgehogs jumping around and being chased by big trucks....

‘We have a patch that will follow on Xbox One and PS4, also due out this week’ We’ve had some tricky game names hitting the market recently.Gylt? More likeGiltorGuilt.Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? More likeStar Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
