I don’t have much of a connection to the original Onimusha games from the PS2 era, but I did play them briefly. While that was many years ago, I did review the more recent remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, and felt that it had plenty to offer both new and existing fans amongst modern-day action…
For the second night in a row, Nintendo kept Aussies up till the early hours with a second packed direct full of announcements for new titles, expected titles, and so many ports of existing games coming to the Switch 2. Metroid Ravenous After the middling reaction to Metroid Prime 4, Samus is back in a…
Insomniac Games did such a great job with Marvel’s Spider-Man over the course of three titles that I would personally trust them with any superhero game they wanted to tackle. With that being said, Wolverine is one of my absolute favourites, and I really can’t believe it’s here. In many ways, Marvel’s Wolverine absolutely nails…
Nintendo kept us up till the wee hours delivering the first of its two Directs this week. The first one focused purely on The Legend of Zelda, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. With the recent announcement of the Ocarina of Time remake, I was excited to see some actual gameplay footage and…
After two surprisingly addictive outings in the Hot Wheels Unleashed series, developer Milestone has taken that same arcade racing and put it into an open world spanning four massive islands in their latest game, Infinite Rush. The result is a game that handles brilliantly but loses some of the structure that made the last two…
As a die-hard Boston Celtics fan, I was hoping NBA 2K27 would be kinder to me than the offseason was. It’s a tradition that I jump straight into Play Now and whip up a quick match between the Celtics and whoever I believe will be the best in the East for the upcoming season. As…
Fresh off PlayStation’s back-to-back State of Play showcases, it’s Nintendo’s time to wow us with two Nintendo Direct showcases, one of which is delivering a closer look at a game we admittedly all can’t wait to see. The first Nintendo Direct will take place on Wednesday, the 9th September at 12:00 am AEST for The…
An absolutely massive showing hit us late last night, with two back-to-back PlayStation State of Play streams highlighting not only a bunch of titles from PlayStation Studios and third-party developers, but also a range of titles from Asia as well. Without further ado, let’s dive in! STATE OF PLAY A NEW RESIDENT EVIL MOVIE TRAILER…
PlayStation’s State of Play streams are always something to look forward to, but I guess we’ll have to double our excitement for this week. We’re getting two State of Play streams back to back later tonight, the first of which will focus on the upcoming titles from PlayStation Studios and third-party developers alike, including another…
There are a few things to note before I begin my review of Orbitals. If you read my Split Fiction review last year, then you’ll know how much of a sucker I am for a good cooperative experience. For one, I love getting my wife, who is not a gamer by any stretch of the…
I was a fan of the original Mortal Shell when it was released back in 2020, but I will admit that it fell through the cracks, wedged within the rapidly expanding world of Souls-like games. Even so, it had introduced and implemented a few new ideas, mainly stemming from the Shell mechanic, but for the…
The PAX Aus Indie Showcase is back once again for 2026 to celebrate Australia’s most inventive independent game creators, by highlighting a selection of digital and board games, which will be available to try out later this year. Superloop will be sponsoring the PAX Aus Indie Showcase for this year, supporting the next generation of…
The first game from brand-new studio Rebel Wolves is a massive single-player RPG that features heavy development from the team that worked at CD Projekt Red on a little indie game called The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. An incredibly ambitious open-world action RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker is an ambitious debut with teeth, though…
I got the chance to go hands-on with Star Wars Zero Company earlier this month, and due to the lengthy nature of that build, feel like the genuine love I have for this game might not only sound familiar, but might also have increased. So apologies in advance if we touch on a few of…
While Netflix subscribers got an exclusive look earlier this morning, everyone got to see a whopping 26 minutes of Grand Theft Auto 6 just hours later. The Extended Look showed us plenty of cinematic sequences, action, activities and a decent dive into this much larger version of Vice City. Without further ado, let’s jump in…
For what it’s worth, I really loved 2019’s The Sinking City. It might have been a little janky in parts, but it served up a foreboding and tense atmosphere that felt like the best bits of Resident Evil and BioShock combined. While the gameplay felt a little stiff, I had plenty of fun simply existing…
It is arguably one of the best games of all time; Elden Ring became a smash hit when it debuted back in 2022. The extremely difficult and beautiful Souls-like game was and still is undeniably a breathtaking masterpiece. It is safe to say it surprised everyone when FromSoftware advised they were making an edition for…
Gamescom 2026 is here, and with that, the Opening Night Live showcase, highlighting a whole bunch of new and exciting games on the horizon. There’s a fair amount to cover here, so let’s dive in and run through all the announcements. STAGE TOUR THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT – REMASTERED IS FREE FOR ALL CURRENT…
It’s hard to believe that Grand Theft Auto 6 is not only real, but is releasing later this year. While we’ve known for a couple of weeks now, it’s certainly worth getting excited for Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look, which is set to hit Netflix, YouTube and Rockstar’s own website later this week. No…
I play the current Call of Duty every year mainly for its multiplayer offerings, but it’s no secret that the franchise has had its ups and downs in recent years. I mean, the less we say about 2023’s Modern Warfare III, the better. But since then, the Modern Warfare franchise has been left at bay,…
I’ve had my fair share of FromSoftware games over the years, and while I absolutely love Elden Ring and think it may be the best FromSoftware title, my favourite is still Bloodborne. I simply love the world, tone, slightly more linear nature, and faster combat mechanics, and return to it almost every year. Directed by…
Mafia: The Old Country holds a special place in my heart, mainly for its decision to return to its roots, with a setting based in Sicily. With Sicilian heritage myself, and having been to Sicily only a month after the release of the game last year, it still stands as one of my favourite games…
After Xenoblade Chronicles X took the Wii U in a more systemic, player-driven direction, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 marked a return to narrative focus. Now, with its Switch 2 upgrade, it’s worth revisiting whether this ambitious RPG still holds up. After the release of Xenoblade Chronicles – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition last month, it seems we…
NBA 2K27 is right around the corner, and we’re getting plenty of inside looks at some fresh gameplay features from this year’s iteration. From general gameplay enhancements to a new city and MyCAREER updates, there’s plenty to look forward to when the game launches on the 4th of September, 2026. Gameplay This year, players will…
Zero Latency VR provides a wide range of original and licensed VR experiences at several locations across Australia. That range is set to grow again, with the announcement of Jumanji: The Lost Levels, coming to all Australian Zero Latency VR locations on the 4th of December, 2026. Based on the upcoming film, Jumanji: The Lost…
I’m a massive fan of anything Marvel and fighting games in general, so it’s no secret that I’ve had my eye on Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls for a while. I also believe that Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is one of the best fighting games of all time, so I was worried…
Big Walk is the brand-new multiplayer game from developer House House, otherwise known as the team that previously made the wildly popular and addictive Untitled Goose Game. This time, they are going all in on the multiplayer angle, allowing for up to 12 players in a walkabout game that sees you communicating with your friends…
While I’m a massive AFL fan, I also have some incredibly fond memories of Aussie Rules Footy on the NES. While I’ve played almost every AFL game since then, I’ve always missed the simplicity and charm of that first NES game. So when I saw Pro Jank Footy, my eyes lit up. Pro Jank Footy…
Phantom Blade Zero is shaping up to be one of the more exciting releases of the year, and PlayStation have announced in its latest blog post, that it will be the next State of Play for 2026. While we’re not sure exactly how long this will run, we do know it will extend upon the…
I’ve never really gotten into any of the X-Com games over the years, and to be completely honest, I’m not sure why. I’ve heard nothing but great things about them, but with Star Wars Zero Company essentially reviving the genre more recently, I felt compelled to dive a little deeper and check this one out….
