After months of speculation, Nintendo has revealed their upcoming console, which is expected to launch later in 2025. Once it does, the Switch 2 is going to, directly or indirectly, compete with the Steam Deck. After all, there are certain similarities between the two, which could force a lot of us to make an important decision. Yet, I strongly believe that the comparison isn’t going to be a straight-faced battle at all, and let’s take a look at what will be a potentially better deal in 2025....

Last week Capcom unveiled a rather unusual new project.E.X. Troopersis a cel-shaded third-person shooter with a manga-style art direction. Sounds plenty Japanese, but not exactly out of the ordinary. Oh, did I forget to mention it’s aLost Planetspin-off? While few might have guessed Capcom’s interstellar colonial war series had an association withE.X. Troopersbased on looks alone, some fans had a sneaking suspicion that the forthcoming 3DS and PS3 title was the “reanimated corpse ofMega Man Legends 3....

From Metal Gear producer, featuring David Hayter and Jennifer Hale Republiquehit its half-million-dollar Kickstarter goal almost a year and a half ago now. While it’s looking at its projected June 2013 release date in the rear view, aRedBull(I know, right?) chat with formerMetal Gear Solidproducer andRepubliquehead Ryan Payton revealed that the game is “probably going to be coming out in December.” Initially announced as an iOS exclusive,Republiqueis also getting, “a unique version ofRépubliquespecifically designed for PC and Mac with new features, gameplay and story elements that speak to the strengths of the platform....

Building a better hero It takes something a little extra to stand out in a genre as specialized as isometric dungeon crawlers. A few games are already providing a lot for players to dig into, and so something new like Stitch Heads and Raw Fury’sSuperfusewill need something fresh and new to draw players in. I think it might have that, and in some unexpected places. Booting upSuperfuse, the first thing I noticed was the look....

Cute and deadly to say the least Every year there are some pretty awesome exclusive toys and figures to grab at Comic-Con for the would-be collector. With this year’s holy grail being none other than theGreen and White Ranger’s Legacy Power Morpher— which easily fetches over three times its value on Ebay at the moment. While I was fortunate enough to obtain this rare treasure — after shoving my way through a sea of vicious early morning toy vultures — it is not the coolest looking trinket I snagged for my shelves....

A modern art-inspired 3D platformer Oh,Bound! (Psst. What’sBound?) A few days ago, Santa Monica Studioteaseda game announcement with an obscured clip of someone dancing. I couldn’t make any sense of it, but as some of you smartly guessed, it’s a new thing, not another take on an existing property like, hah,God of War. Boundis 3D platformer from Plastic (Linger in Shadows,Datura) “designed for people with the desire to concentrate on the narrative side of games and experience a mature story....

Play the hatred of 10,000 years Blizzard’s alpha for the upcomingWorld of Warcraft: Legionexpansion winded down recently, but the beta has just begun. As of today Blizzard is rolling out the new build, which will unlock at roughly 2PM PT today. It’ll feature the Demon Hunter class, “every new zone,” and the Broken Isles intro as well as a 110 level cap. It’s…pretty damn hefty (there’s 10 dungeons and two raids too), and if you don’t mind your character getting wiped, there’s going to be tons of stuff to do....

HYUH HYUH That’s the sound of me, Judah Ben-Hur, spurring my horses because I am a Bad Horse Man. All those other horses? Not white like mine — an obvious indication that we’re good and they’re bad. I whip them hoping to kill them. I ram them hoping, also, to kill them. This isBen-Hur, a free video game on Xbox One. It focuses very narrowly on the signature chariot races. I wish instead to be in the leper colony....

‘The Last Bastion’ After watching this latestOverwatchanimated short, you might not be able to look at Bastion the same way again. He can be one hell of an annoying murder-bot, but deep down, he really does mean well. Unsurprisingly, there’s less, uh,talkingin this video compared to theprior ones. But Blizzard still manages to build a touching little story and even inject a moment or two of levity. I don’t know if there are plans for every single character to get a dedicated short, but I hope that’s how it works out....
