Remember Golf Club: Wasteland by Demagog Studio and Untold Tales? Well, it is they who are combining the joys of The Jungle Book with the devastation of the armageddon, announcing a continuation of the story with a narrative-led, old-school hardcore platformer that has been inspired by the SEGA classics. That game is The Cub.
Those pesky pandas will do almost anything for a bit of bamboo. Who are we to judge though, when it is pretty much the only thing they can eat? And their latest predicament sees them doing just that to get their paws on some bamboo. Find out what in Taqoban, out now on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Excited for the launch of Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong in May? You'd do well to check out the latest trailer for the game, as the focus drops onto the RPG side of things.
From The Elder Scrolls and Fallout to Dishonored and Wolfenstein, the Bethesda catalogue has been a staple of many a PlayStation console's third-party lineup. Its games are unique and varied. And while not all of them land, you're always in for something a bit different. Microsoft's acquisition of the company means that's all set to end, and Ghostwire: Tokyo represents one final taste of the publisher's distinctive blend.

The latest game out of The Evil Within developer Tango Gameworks isn't a bad one, but it's not particularly good either. It's just, well, fine — which, unfortunately, represents a significant drop in quality after The Evil Within 2 really put the Shinji Mikami led studio on the map.

How cool would it be to have to actually physically go into your computer and destroy the viruses that infect it? I would be downloading trojan horses left, right and centre if I got to do that. Thankfully though now I don’t need to risk the integrity of my computer. That’s because Devastator is out today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and PC and offers that same experience in a much less hazardous way.
Tomorrow sees the launch of Ghostwire: Tokyo on PC and PS5, marking the third consecutive horror game release from developer Tango Gameworks, but studio founder Shinji Mikami says he wants the company to be known for more than just horror games in the future.
"At the moment, we are still seen as a studio that specialises only in survival horror," Mikami admitted in a recent Famitsu interview (as translated by VGC), but while the former Resident Evil series director says it's "nice" to have that reputation among fans, "we also want to be viewed as a studio that can create a wider variety of games."
We would have put our house on NACON and Cyanide coming back to the virtual cycling scene with a 2022 edition of Tour de France and Pro Cycling Manager. That home would be safe too as today they have fully detailed and dropped the all-important release date for Tour de France 2022 on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, as well as Pro Cycling Manager 2022 on PC.
