Month: September 2025

Knives out. Regarding modern augmentations, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound — released not even a month apart — have a lot of overlap. Yet, after 45 minutes of play, I was convinced that Art of Vengeance is one of the finest 2D Ninja action games ever made. Perhaps the finest; and such…

Ghosted. We were pleasantly surprised to see Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac make an appearance make an appearance in the July Partner Direct, and as we close in on its 26th September release date, Bandai Namco has some fresh gameplay footage for us so we can see how it’s shaping up. The new gameplay trailer (above)…

Though that might be a tad tricky… It’s been well over two decades since the initial launch of Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium, and although the game is now playable on Switch via Capcom Fighting Collection 2, fans are undoubtedly desperate to see a brand-new entry.

What year is it?! The latest UK boxed charts are in and, thanks to the launch of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Gears of War: Reloaded, the top ten has seen a bit of a shake up. Starting with Snake Eater, Konami’s remake for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S has reached number…

Driving solo. The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Open Network Test wrapped up last weekend, but it looks like we won’t have to wait long before we get to go hands on with the blue blur’s upcoming racer again ahead of launch. SEGA capped off the test period by sharing that a free demo will be heading…

Backers, listen up. With just two days (!) remaining until the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong on the Switch and Switch 2, Team Cherry has provided one final Kickstarter update to run through a bit of last-minute housekeeping. Naturally, the update mostly concerns backers who supported the project back in the 19th century, with Team…
