Looks like May Well this is interesting. GameWatcher has apparently found a $1 pre-order card at Target forHomefront: Revolution, which states that the game has a July 05, 2025 release date. Right now it’s merely slated for a “Quarter 1/2” window, but this likely gives us a good idea of what to expect. Deep Silver did not comment on the discovery. I’ll give it a fair shake, but I don’t think there’s any AAA release I’m less excited for this year than this one....

[Update:TheDisney websiteforWreck-It Ralphfeatures a chance to “wreck” the trailer, and a playable version of Ralph’s game,Fix-it Felix Jr.!] Disney is no stranger to movies featuring the “secret lives” of original characters, set in worlds inhabited by recognizable icons of their respective genre. BothRoger RabbitandToy Storyhave illustrated this beautifully, but now it’s videogames’ turn.

Can you disguise three aspects in a trench coat? Once you get deep intoDiablo 4, optimization becomes crucial. While your build is more than half the battle, stacking synergistic Aspects winds up becoming just as important. Some builds can’t even work without the proper Aspects to help them out! Because of this, you may wonder if you can just stack the same Aspect over and over inDiablo 4. After all, once you find the best possible perk for your build, why wouldn’t you just want to keep making it more powerful?...

Given what little information know about Activision’s upcomingBand Hero, we just assumed it wasGuitar Herowith more “mainstream” pop artists artists. Being the first E10+ game in the series, we weren’t really sure what to expect from the game’s music. On one of what seems like a billion jumbo-tron screens, Activision was pimping all of itsHerogames,Bandincluded. The never-before-seen trailer revealed some of the 50-plus artists that would appear in the game, including: Janet Jackson; Jesse McCartney; Culture Club; Snow Patrol; The Go-Gos; Fall Out Boy; The Turtles; Marvin Gaye; and Maroon 5....

At Captivate, Capcom was hinting at an all new area of Fortune City that Frank West would get to explore inDead Rising: Off the Record. If you guessed “amusement park,” pat yourself on the back. Capcom has revealed the “Uranus Zone” amusement park forOff the Record, a sci-fi themed playground of wonders and games. Oh, and yeah, and a bunch of flesh eating zombies. While the small demo was area was devoid of any exposition, it was a good opportunity to sample some of the new and wonderful toys West can use to slaughter (and taunt) the undead....

Even better, a new “Recent Items” tab will be added to the inventory as well....

It looks bright Final Fantasy XIVis in a good place, but just nine years ago, things were looking disastrous. What’s known as the vanilla version ofXIVrushed onto the scene and basically tanked immediately, leading to a complete reboot that’s rarely seen in the industry today. Much of that effort was led by the incomparable Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida, who worked tirelessly with his team to ensure that the new shell,A Realm Reborn, would give fans what they originally wanted....

Foamstarsisn’t unique, but it does offer a colorful, exciting shooter experience. An announcement trailer has revealed that the game launches on Sony’s console’s on February 6. We got a taste of the game last year thanks tothe open betawhich ran from September 29 until October 1, and it was generally well-receieved.
