It goes without saying, this idea of an all-digital future is pretty crap. One minute you might have created a nice little living out of an online platform for it to disappear soon after, and in one case return shortly after thanking…

Helskate 1.0 Now Available on Steam

If you’re not kicking Demon Tail while grinding rails, are you really skating? Helskate was immediately a unique take on the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater formula from the moment I saw it. Now, after over a year in Early Access, Helskate is…

Combat-Free Metroidvania Embroideryvania Announced

Closed Network Test Registration for Elden Ring Nightreign Open Now

One of the more interesting presentations from The Game Awards last month was for Elden Ring Nightreign. Don’t get me wrong, the whole show was solid, but Nightreign was interesting. Now, fans can apply for their first taste of Nightreign, ahead of…

Prime Gaming – January 2025

Another year, another month, another one of these Prime Gaming articles where I need to talk about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly Big Fish Games games (currently un)available throughout January. As always, Lost (T)Ark has some dried, shriveled-up, piles…
