The first installment of the Psychonauts series celebrated its 15th anniversary last September, but fans have been waiting for its sequel for more than five years. Psychonauts 2 was indeed officially announced back in 2015 at The Game Awards ceremony, but it's one of those games whose development has not been easy. While the first Psychonauts game received excellent reviews from the players, it was a real commercial failure for Double Fine. It was difficult to make a...

Sometimes it's quite difficult to understand the reason behind some actions when it comes to video game developers. What happened yesterday with Rockstar Games could be considered a good example. Both Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire are games that have been available for a long while. The first one was released in 2012 and as the third installment in the popular third-person shooting series, it follows the adventures of  Max Payne as he is pulled into a war between rival...

We have talked about Sony's change of policies when it comes to PlayStation exclusive games in the past. It seems that the company is now more open to releasing those games on PC and Horizon Zero Dawn is among the first ones that have been made available on another platform different than Sony's consoles. This action role-playing game that follows the story of a brave huntress in a post-apocalyptic land dominated by robots has been the reason for many players...

Most of the Street Fighter V: Champion Edition fans already knew that Rose is the new fighter coming to the game but they have not had the chance of watching her in action until yesterday.

The video shows all her V-Skills, V-Triggers, V-Shift, and V-Reversal, and we can also see a revamped version of her classic...

Loot boxes are quite a controversial feature in most cases and they are even considered as gambling in certain countries, but they are a common way of getting additional income for game developers. Paying real money for a chance of getting an exclusive cosmetic item or a minor boost is something that most players agree with, but when we are talking of items that give you a certain advantage in combat all alarms seem to trigger for most people, especially...

More than just a habit, it's almost become the norm for the Steam rival platform to offer at least one free game every week. But there are times when Epic Games is even more generous. This is the case this week, as you can pick up not one but three games for free on the platform today.  The first one is Deponia: The Complete Journey, but it's actually three games together in one collection: Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, and Goodbye Deponia....

Capcom has on its back quite a successful story as a video games developer and publisher but it's undeniable that Resident Evil is one of its most popular franchises. The titles in the series have multiplied over the years and with the release of Resident Evil Village getting close there are more and more fans that are showing an interest in the new installment. The Maiden demo was a real hit, and it allowed players to discover the atmosphere of...

Even though Ubisoft has made quite a good job with Assassin's Creed Valhalla it's having some problems meeting the schedule with its upcoming DLC. Wrath of the Druids was announced in February along with other post-launch content that would be included in Assassin's Creed Valhalla Season Pass.

As the spiritual successor to the System Shock series, BioShock caught the attention of many players when it was released in 2007. The original game was followed by two sequels, BioShock 2 and BioShock: Infinite, whose also had a very warm welcome, but we have been eagerly waiting for a new installment since 2013. In December 2019, 2K Games had announced that the development of such a game was underway, the one that is for now soberly called...

Sid Meier's Civilization franchise has changed a lot over the years but it has managed to maintain quite a wide fanbase. It's probably the video games series that has contributed more to the popularity of the turn-based strategy genre. Choosing your nation and developing it through the ages as you build cities and claim territory is just the basic elements of a game that turns out to be quite complex in many aspects of its gameplay but at the same...

All fans of the WWE 2K series have had a hard time during the last couple of years. The launch of WWE 2K20 was a disaster and the game soon became an endless source of memes due to an incredibly high amount of graphics and gameplay bugs. It was just ridiculous and so bad that publisher 2K Games decided not to launch last year's installment. Although most fans were quite disappointed, their trust in the developer was at...

It was received with enthusiasm during E3 2019 with a trailer full of colors and music, worthy of a Tarantino film. Deathloop is the new baby of the Lyon-based studio Arkane, which is responsible for the Dishonored series, Prey and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. At the Playstation event in June 2020, we were able to discover more about the game, and learn that Deathloop would be a temporary one-year exclusive on Playstation 5. Even though its release...

Old classics never die, and the Streets of Rage series is one of those. Beat 'em up video games were quite popular in the '90s and Street of Rage was one of the most popular series in the genre, along with others like Double Dragon or Final Fight. Spending whole evenings fighting against the members of the criminal syndicate controlled by Mr. X as one of the three protagonists of the games was a common thing, and it was a...

Back in November 2020, IO Interactive announced that the studio is working on a new project based on the James Bond license. Very few things have been unveiled about this new game, and it's for a good reason. In January we could see quite a few job offers from the studio, including one for a producer position, which suggested that Project 007 was only at the very beginning of the development process. Although the studio announced that Agent 47 is not...

It's rather curious that the biggest announcement at this year's Blizzcon is about an old game instead of bringing a new title into the spotlight. Well, technically Diablo II: Resurrected is a new game but as far as we know, it won't bring many novelties in terms of content compared to the old Diablo II, so it's just the same game with a new skin. It's true that it will include new features like cross-platform progression, revamped ladder...
