No Straight Roads just comes straight out and says what we’ve known all along: that EDM as a genre is evil and must be defeated by the power of independent rock music. We’ve got a lot to unpack with No Straight Roads, so let’s start with the fact that this game is uniquely Malaysian. There are a lot of games that have bits and pieces made in Malaysia, like Dark Souls 3, Street Fighter V, and Batman: Arkham Knight, but Metronomik is the country’s first studio to come out with a game that’s just theirs and nobody else’s....

We don’t want to get your hopes up too high, Nintendo Switch fans, but it certainly sounds as though Oceanhorn 2 just might be making its way to the hybrid handheld. Not very long ago, the mere idea of a Nintendo system receiving ports of the likes of Doom, Borderlands, Overwatch and such may have seemed downright silly. The poor old Wii U was given slim to nothing in the way of third-party support, which was one of the major factors that doomed the kooky console in the first place....

Between its simple and satisfying combat and its short and sweet story, Olija is a riveting platformer without the stress of being overly challenging. For those looking for something quick to take a break with over the weekend, the newest indie game from Devolver Digital might be the short, rewarding experience to pass the time. In Olija, players assume the role of Faraday, a European whaler whose ship has wrecked on an island called Terraphage....

Three OnePlus devices are rumoured to launch on 14 May in the form of the OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 Pro 5G. Some of the OnePlus 7 Pro’s specifications were revealed by @OnLeaks on 17 April, but we now have some more details from another leaker, as well as an official tease from the OnePlus CEO and founder, Pete Lau. Ishan Agarwal has presented a few more specifications for the OnePlus 7 Pro on Twitter, claiming the device would have a triple rear camera, as we have seen in previous leaks, a 4000mAh battery and dual speakers....

French games publisher Asmodee Digital has announced that it will be publishing two new titles that focus on multiplayer co-op: Innchanted and Ember Knights. Innchanted is an inn-management co-op adventure while Ember Knights is an action rogue-lite dungeon crawler. Developed by DragonBear Studios out of Australia, Innchanted is a great blend of resource management and Overcooked action. Players will need to team up in order to brew potions, cook meals, deter monsters, and serve customers before their impatience becomes your problem....

This month marks three years since Blizzard released its competitive hero shooter Overwatch, the first new IP from the company in 17 years. Since launch, the game has played influence to a number of seasonal events, which promptly started with the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, as well as finding its own space in the eSports ecosystem with the Overwatch League. While most of this timed seasonal content comes and goes, the upcoming anniversary event will offer some of what’s been lost to the game’s live service model....

The Overwatch development team has never been shy when it comes to tweaking and re-balancing the game’s 25 heroes, regularly introducing changes to the character roster in order to keep things fresh. The latest character to undergo tweaks is none other than the explosive-loving Junkrat, who some players believe is in need of a buff. In a new thread over at the Blizzard Forums, fans have suggested a series of minor changes to Junkrat in order to increase the character’s viability, such as reducing the cooldown and increasing the damage of his Concussion Mine, as well as increasing the damage of his Steel Trap....

Blizzard Entertainment kicked off BlizzCon 2017 the right way, giving Overwatch fans plenty of reasons to celebrate during the opening ceremony. In addition to brand new healer character Moira, Blizzard also revealed a brand new map. Blizzard officially unveiled a brand new Overwatch map called Blizzard World with a new teaser trailer. The Blizzard World map lets players visit several areas inspired by other Blizzard game universes. There’s a section for Azeroth, a section for Tristram, and there’s a section for Koprulu Sector, too....

The more I see of Monster Hunter Rise, the more it’s becoming my most anticipated game of 2021. I’ve dug the hidden ninja village aesthetic since the start, and addition of loyal canine steeds is true blessed content. The newest trailer, and announcement of a demo, only upped my excitement. We can ride monsters now!? There’s going to be more amiibo? There’s an ogre-yeti hybrid that makes ice blades? Oh, and there’s also a new flagship monster that’s basically tiger Zinogre....

Following Mortal Kombat 11’s reveal at The Game Awards 2018, fan excitement has practically become palpable, with the forthcoming fighting game easily being one of the most highly anticipated titles of 2019. Now, it looks as if NetherRealm Studios is preparing to begin building on that hype by eking out information regarding the next entry in the long-running series, as it intends on providing a look at gameplay, story details, and character reveals next week....

With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim releasing exactly one month away from today, the floodgates are open. Yesterday saw the release of a new set of Skyrim screenshots and leaked scans from the game’s manual which revealed interested details about companion and follower controls. Adding to The Elder Scrolls overload, today we have a full map of the province of Skyrim, scanned from the map that comes with the game, a tradition for all of the games in the series....

Even though, so far, November has belonged to Halo 4 (don’t believe us? Read our review), Rockstar Games is doing its best to pull off a publicity coup. The company announced on its newswire today that Grand Theft Auto V is now available for pre-order worldwide, and that a second, yes, second trailer will be releasing next Wednesday on November 14. In fairness, the trailer was delayed from a previously-planned, early-November unveiling due to the devastation and disruption caused by Hurricane Sandy (the publisher is headquartered in Lower Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood)....

Easily one of the most anticipated PS4 “launch window” titles, inFamous: Second Son is finally one month from release. At first, many gamers assumed that the super-powered open world experience was actually a day one next-gen offering - but Sony later confirmed that it would actually be arriving in the first quarter of 2014 (which, technically, is part of the aforementioned launch “window”). While Sucker Punch has been able to keep a surprising lid on all of the powers available to new superhero (or antihero) Deslin, new details have slowly been unveiled....

Twisted Metal may have been delayed until Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean David Jaffe and the crew at Eat, Sleep, Play are going to stay tight-lipped about their reboot of the iconic car combat franchise, in fact, they’ve just released three new screenshots from the game’s all new Nuke Mode. It’s been a long time since fans have been able to sit down with a game like Twisted Metal. Games in the car combat genre have mostly been non-existent or hardly stellar, but after playing Twisted Metal several times over this year and last, we can say that this is sure to be a nostalgia trip for anyone who played games during the PSOne era....

A new trailer for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu has been released online and it gives us our first glimpse at Lickitung, which might be the most horrifying creature in a movie that is already filled to the brim with nightmare fuel. The thirty-second long trailer is mostly composed of clips from the movie that have already been shown elsewhere, with the exception of a Lickitung cameo. It seems that the people at Game Freak performed a seance to bring H....

Slated to launch this May, Deathloop looks to be yet another ambitious project from developer Arkane Studios, the team behind Dishonored and Prey. The game received a new trailer yesterday courtesy of PlayStation’s State of Play livestream and, today, IGN provided yet more coverage of the stylish and surreal assassination game during its Fan Fest event. Debuting a new trailer, the fresh Deathloop footage looks to explain the title’s mind-bending concept, with the game’s Creative Director, Dinga Bakaba, running through the rules of its world and how that affects gameplay....

There’s a new Warzone glitch that is causing Captain Prices to form lines to be executed over and over again. Which is weird. Season 4 has arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone, and with it brings new content in the form of Captain Price himself. It also brought a brand new glitch that is pretty hilarious, if I do say so myself. Here’s how it works. In the pre-game lobby, you walk up to someone, execute them, and then they get right back up and do it to you....

Today, Niantic announced the start of its new program to support small businesses by upgrading them to Pokestops and Gyms. Called the Local Business Recovery Initiative, Niantic will be sponsoring 1,000 local businesses at no cost. In a letter, Niantic senior product manager Carla Li explained that the initiative is designed to help revitalize local communities and show an appreciation for the range of businesses and services in the neighborhoods where we live and play....
