Marvel Rivalsjust teased a surprise new game mode coming later this week, and it’s one filled with nostalgia and pure fun to take a break from the sweat of ranked matches. The new Giant-Size Brain Blast mode inMarvel Rivalsis reminiscent of old school games where you could enter cheat codes (button combinations that existed before microtransactions) to get cool features, like giving all of the characters in a game comically large heads....

Windows overload Accompanying the just-released iOS version ofMs. Splosion Man, the lighthearted platformer is also now available forSteam(Windows only),Games for Windows, and Windows Phone 7. The pricing on those first two ports is $9.99, while the WP7 game takes the same approach as iPhone with its $2.99 asking price. Based onChris’ reviewofMs. Splosion ManiOS and my prior experience with the original Xbox Live Arcade release, I’d recommend going with the title on Windows proper for the cooperative campaign....

Look, I’ve told you just abouteverythingIknowaboutDemon’s Souls, the upcoming PS3 action role-playing game. The next step from here is having us spend some quality time with the title so we can tell you what we think. That’s happening soon, as review code is headed to our office as we speak. So for now, enjoy some screenshots. Demon’s Soulsis one of those games that can pull off darkness, but still be visually stunning....

Also,Railgrade The three big Nintendo Switch eShop releases this week offer something for everyone — but at least two of them will be met with some form of consternation. Overwatch 2is technically launching on Switch in the coming week (Thursday-to-Thursday), as it drops on October 4 on all platforms (with cross-progression). Then there’sEA Sports FIFA 23 Nintendo Switch Legacy Edition, which doesn’t cater to a whole lot of people; given that it’s a Switch version of a yearly sports entry....

Also,Nobody Saves the World Fresh off of a pretty celebrated and hot port, the eShop is bringing us more re-releases.Star Wars: The Force Unleashedis coming to the system on April 20, andNobody Saves the Worldis here now. Beyond that, we haveMario Golfhitting the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service on April 15. So something kinda old, not that old, and really old: but all incredibly diverse mechanically all the same!...

Support for methamphetamine still unannounced The killer app for Oculus Rift is finally here, as the inconceivably popularEuro Truck Simulator 2now features support for the virtual reality headset. As you’re able to see from the lengthy demonstration above, it allows the player to become fully immersed in a big rig experience. You can look left and right and the display moves to the left and right! That might have been tinged with sarcasm....

Other platforms to follow There’s been a fair amount ofOddworld: New ‘n’ Tastynews lately —that dramatic trailer, most recently — but it’s the release info we’ve wanted most. Here it is: the revamped game will be available on PlayStation 4 via PSN on May 17, 2025 in North America and a day later in Europe. What about all of those other versions?

By Odin’s Beard! Atlus sure knows how to put a special edition together. ForOdin Sphere: Leifthrasir, a remake whose name I dare not type out manually, the publisher has a $79.99 Storybook Edition planned. It’s exclusive to PlayStation 4 and includes a 64-page hardcover art book, a t-shirt, a metal slipcase for the game, an art print, and a fancy outer box. For the time being, this bundle is only confirmed for North America....

Bungie… When the lastDestinyexpansion hit, we gotthe recycled, poor excuse for endgame content— the Prison of Elders — instead of a real raid. Bungie claimed that a raid would be “coming later,” leading many to believe thatHouse of Wolveswould eventually get one (what did we pay $20 for, after all), but nothing came. Instead, anew $40 (!) expansion,Taken Kingwas revealed, and the King’s Fall raid was announced. Now, Bungie is noting two weeks before the release ofTaken Kingthat the raid will not be available on time — there’s not even a target date in mind....

The number far supersedes that of the original 2016 premium title, which hit around 15 million players during its early launch months....

Alternatively, there’s also 2-to-4-person multiplayer that can be played locally or online, and you’re able to even combine those two....

My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms spaghetti A small goof on the part of thePlayStation Storemight have have accidentally let the next DLC character cat out of theStreet Fighter Vbag. According to the description of the Season 2 Character Pass (which has since been changed) the next confirmed character to join theSFVroster will be – Ed. That’s right, Ed. You know Ed! That classicStreet Fightercharacter we all love, right? The skinny white dude with psychic powers who looks vaguely like an early 2000’s Marshall Mathers?...
