Put that in your pouch and smoke it In news pretty much nobody saw coming, earlier ’00s platforming hero Kao the Kangaroo is getting set to make a world-rocking comeback. As revealed by developer Tate Multimedia, the haymaker-throwing antipodean is gearing up for a big return at some point in the future. Kao the Kangaroofirst launched on PC and Sega Dreamcast in 2000, where the titular hero bounced ‘n’ clobbered their way through five bizarrely interconnected worlds, including an underground mine, an arctic tundra, and outer space....

XSEED never ceases to amaze me To this day, I’m impressed with the way how XSEED treats Falcom’s titles. One good example is the effort they put intoThe Legend of Heroes Trailsseries since they continue to improve it, such as theTrails in the Skygames getting patched to look better in 4K. As players get a taste of Durante’s features inTrails of Cold Steel, they can look forward to using the PC version’s Turbo Mode in theTrails in the Skytitles....

Video games are big, and they’ve kept getting bigger. So it’s always nice to see devs find ways to make a reduction in their storage imprint like theMicrosoft Flight Simulatorteam has with v1.16.2.0. In itsrelease notesfor an update on May 25, theMicrosoft Flight Simulatorteam notes it has performed some optimizations for the initial full download of the game. Now, the base game should be only 83 GB in size, rather than over 170 GB....

So, I finally picked upBattlefield Premiumyesterday, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to play the new Tank Superiority mode that’s coming withBattlefield 3:Armored Killin September. So, in Tank Superiority everyone gets in a heavy vehicle and they fight to control the key points of the map. I can just see the insanity now. The screenshots EA released today don’t exactly reflect my vision, except the part with all the tanks and everything....

Tenatively titled racing game Nicalis has been pretty busy as of late. In addition to handling a ton of development, they’re also getting into publishing as well. Their latest venture is publishing an upcoming homage to ’90s racing games. No, really! The tentative title for this upcoming game is “’90s Arcade Racer,” and it pays homage to the coin-op racers of old, likeDaytona USA(as a side note, remember playingDaytonawith like six or more people at once?...

50 hz glory! With the PlayStation Classic coming out next week, Sony has unveiled a few more details about the miniature console. The game selection could be considered divisive, but the real problem is going to be playback on the machine. According to a recent PlayStation blog entry, the Classic will be utilizing the PAL releases of nine games in every region. For those unaware, the PAL standard runs at 50 Hz as opposed to the NTSC standard of 60 Hz....

Best of 2013 This year we’ve split up our action and adventure categories as there’s just so much that can fill each now respectively. Gaming offers so many ways to escape the realities of life, and action-style games are the best way for people to let off some steam without inflicting actual pain in real life. Grand Theft Auto V With its hours upon hours upon hours of content,GTA Vprovides some incredible new story missions full of explosive setpieces and increasingly frantic scenarios....

Palworldhas teamed up with Twitch as part of the Summer of Rewards event, offering three brand new Pal Skins for players on Steam. They’re bizarrely adorable cosmetics, and they’re relatively easy to get, but only as long as you play through Steam. This is proving to be something of a sticking point for players who playPalworldon Xbox, and honestly, I can see why. I wouldn’t have known that these drops were exclusive to Steam players fromPalworld’s social media posts alone, as it’s not explicitly stated anywhere....

I’m making a beeline for the giant anteater By now, we know exactly what to expect fromPlanet ZooDLC – several new animals to care for and a whole lot of building, scenery, and foliage pieces with which to craft an extravagant themed zoo. Planet Zoo‘s next DLC,the South America Pack, is coming to Steam on June 20, 2025, for $10. Today’s trailer isn’t exactly forthcoming, so here’s the rundown. The new habitat animals are the capuchin monkey, jaguar, llama, and giant anteater, the latter of which I’m already obsessed with....

Come back tomorrow to see how wrong we were With only a couple more hours until (what we believe to be)the PlayStation 4’s grand reveal, we thought we’d list our hopes, fears, and predictions for the PS4. Tomorrow, after all is revealed (yeah, right), we’ll look back at how wrong or right we were in these thoughts. We encourage you all to post your own PS4 fears, hopes, and predictions in the comments below....

The first premium membership skin is underwhelming at best ThePokemon Unitemembership programis now live, and sadly, it wasn’t really tweaked from itsoriginal leaked incarnation. Now live worldwide, thePokemon Unitemembership program (called the “Unite Club”)costs $9.99 per month, which is a rather large disconnect compared to what other subscriptions offer. Here’s what you get: Don’t all cheer at once! Naturally, these sorts of programs (like a similar one forFortnite) come with a marquee monthly skin....

Stay awhile… Stay forever… We all like a good night’s sleep, especially when away from home, but I’m not sure any of the guests at Ashmann Inn – the setting of Stormind Games’Remothered: Broken Porcelain– will be getting their full eight hours. In fact, it looks like this particular B&B will set you up for the longest night of your life. Publisher Modus Games dropped a new trailer for the stealth-horror sequel, looking at plight of our young protagonist, Jen, as she picks her way through the creepy and decrepit corridors of Ashmann Inn....

RimWorld‘s Odyssey DLC has added plenty of new firepower for the players, and Unique Weapons are at the top of the food chain. First, we have new standard weapons that different methods can obtain. Unique Weapons might look the same on some occasions, but these are special versions of your ordinary guns. Not only do these guns have better firepower, but they have status effects in place as well. They’re extremely valuable resources in your fight against the Mechamind, so let’s find out more about them....
