STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions is just that! Massively co-operative and not an MMO! When you first run the game you are instantly into the tutorial...
Sometimes when you are browsing the internet for information on how to do something, you stumble upon ideas or projects or even games that people might be working on...
What a meow-gnificent evening it is to send your paw-rcels out to those family and friends! Are mew looking to pick up an item or send something out? Well at Cat Mail Co. we can send and receive all your deliveries!
Have you ever grown up feeling like you don't belong? For our Heroine, that's the feeling she lives with everyday in her small farming village. But it's not her only secret...
Today we’re looking at what has rapidly become an absolute favorite in the open-world RPG genre for me. An interesting story, memorable NPCs, stunning visuals, and a setting absolutely dripping with flavor, Dread Delusion sets its tone immediately and sticks with it.
I enjoy simulation-type games, and I enjoyed the original release of House Flipper, but I never got around to getting the DLC. When the remastered version of the game was released, I figured it would be the best way to experience the DLC while checking out how the base game was upgraded.
GranBlue Fantasy: ReLink released in 2024 bringing the GranBlue universe to an action adventure JRPG format. With a party of up to four members, this band of skyfarers set out for new skies, adventures, and dangers. Two years later, Endless Ragnarok...
70s-Style Robot Anime Geppy-X is a mouthful of a title, but you know what? It’s quite the challenging game to describe as well. At its core, 70s-Style Robot Anime Geppy-X is a shooter...
Net.Attack() is dangerously fun. From thinking that I could dip my toe into the tutorial during a lunch break to having put more hours into the game on my first day with it than I did my full-time job, Net.Attack() smoothly pulled me into a ‘just one more level’ mindset.
Well it was. The start of December seemed so far away and then BAM. American Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and then Zombies. Zombies you ask? Dead Rising 4 is here and it takes ALL the above and wraps it up into a new package while taking everything back to the beginning. Poor Frank.
Zombies not your thing around Christmas time? Then The Dwarves should certainly have you covered!
"The Dwarves" not to be mistakenly googled with the dwarves (a band with NSFW album covers and well just all around NFSW material) is
an amazing looking kickstarted product that puts a bunch of Dwarves (who would have guess right?) into an RTS. Based off of the novel series "The Dwarves" in which I just found out while writing this which is cool since I'm currently reading the first one, take control of fifteen playable heroes in real-time strategy scenarios that will require a bit of tactics to make it through.
Deponia has been around for ages now having released back in 2012 on the PC. Coming over to consoles is this crazy ride from Daedalic Entertainment which should not be passed up on.
Tired of sitting inside when it's snowing outside? Wish you could just take to the hills? Snowing too much to make it to those hills? Strap yourself into your couch, make sure that your controller is charged, and hit the steep hills from the comfort of your own living room.
Some fans had already been making some rather crazy Super Mario levels for a while until Nintendo made it easy releasing an editor that could upload custom levels for others to try. Now no longer having to be home for that Super Mario Maker is now going to be portable on the 3DS.
Werewolves Within makes me think of
a social game apparently called "The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow" in English. We just call it Loup Garou (Werewolf in French). Sounds like a lot of fun with visuals and a heads up display as each player is given a role. There's only one real rule, survive. Are you a human or are you a werewolf? Only you know.
Sooooo apparently it's not vaporware in the end. After all these years The Last Guardian, like Final Fantasy Versus XIII now XV has arrived. It has a lot to live up to. Here's hoping that it can.
Dashing through the snow, with ornament launchers on your sleigh, through the hordes we go, raking in Power Points all the way! Dead Rising 4 brings back not only the iconic Frank West but also brings him back to where it all started. Does this grouchy middle aged man have what it takes? Oh yeah.
Wild Guns Reloaded is definitely a throwback as the original launched twenty years ago on the Super Nintendo. Back for another round are Annie and her hire Clint as she seeks revenge on those that killed her family.
Shantae has had many releases on many platforms and the fourth title which was Kickstarted a couple years ago now is finally here. More Shantae? Yes Please!
Having originally launched for the PSVR, Eagle Flight is now moving over to the PC and will be accessible for anyone that has a VR Headset. Have fun boss!
Finally last on our list is more Zombies! I swear I'm off to watch the Nightmare Before Christmas after I finish writing this. Four years have passed since the start of everything. Put in the shoes of a new character Javier, Clementine will make another appearance as she's really the center role of Telltale's adventure isn't she?
That's it for this month and this year!
Be safe, have fun gaming, and enjoy which ever celebrations come your way!

Having already released for both PS4 and XB1, we've had the pleasure to cover this amazing title for the PS4 back in May. Finally releasing for the PC, those who's been waiting will have to wait no longer as it's out today!
To quote Nick, "We have our soft spots for Trails Games" and we really do. Right before release I've finally we've sat down and covered the first in order to prepare for the second! Needless to say that Trails games are epic JRPGs and "short" is not a word that can be used to describe them. With part two releasing are you ready to resume where the first left off?
As long as you aren't moi who can't hit the deep base notes or the higher ones of a tennor, you should be fine to test your vocals on all sorts of notes! I can't carry a tune either...
Like a few others this month, ESO is packaging everything together to make it easy for someone to get into. The timing of this is interesting considering that Blizzard just released the latest WoW expansion.
BioShock has to be one of my favorite First Person Shooters. It has Steampunk. It has crazy. When taking the three of them into account it has everything. BioShock 1, 2, and Infinite are coming to the current gen. Time to play BioShock in higher resolutions!
MeiQ is an awesome Dungeon Crawling JRPG from Compile Hearts and Idea Factory that has it all. Awesome Dungeon Crawling, Customizable Robot Guardians, Magic, and fun quirky characters. Check out our review when it goes live! <- Needless to say we loved it.
Nick
was a fan of the first episode giving it quite a nice review. Surprisingly coming out early though is a physical box that contains the season pass for the rest as they release. Maybe not that surprising that Minecraft had the same treatment but lovers of physical copies should be happy.
I look at ReCore and can't help think of Septerra Core. This isn't a bad thing as Septerra Core was awesome. This amazing looking RPG may even see a PC port at some point. Seeing that Keiji Inafune is involved though has me a bit worried after what Mighty Number 9 was like though. Here's hoping that everything is ok though!
While fans may never really see Dead Rising 3 and 4 outside of the Xbox One and the PC, the originals are back for another spin in HD with
Dead Rising 2 coming out later this month on the 20th.
Psycho Pass was an intereting concepted anime that made me think somewhat of Minority Report. Set up with an original story based within the anime series do you have what it takes to do their job?
I would love to take one of these out in real life... alas I'll have to settle for it digitally instead. Fast cars and slick tracks, just let me out of the gate already! I've got rubber to burn.
Even more les sports! Let's be honest at this point that sports comes down to the Boss Man and Jim. I know how to play all of the above physically and digitially, but in regards to seasons? Hockey is the only real one followed up here in Canada *hides for cover*
As excited as I am for the next segment of Trails of Cold Steel, I'm EXTREMELY excited for this one. While I'm still going through the orignal entries of the series one at a time, currently still on V, VII is not one that I've ever been able to get my hands on short of missing a mortgage payment. Though I did finally see a good copy for under three figures the other day but all of that is about to change as North America is finally getting the 3DS remake! It's finally here! After years of being released in Japan Square has finally localized it. Now the only DQ that needs to come over is X...
Almost everyone likes a good ghost story. Here's what this one is about!
One day, a transfer student arrives at Kurenai Academy in Shinjuku. During a tour of the school with the class president, Sayuri Mifune, they spot a ghost – a girl in a white dress. Moments later an evil ghost in a red coat appears and attacks them. His classmate Masamune Shiga shows up with a mysterious woman named Chizuru Fukurai and, with help from the new student, they exorcise the ghost.
After the battle, Fukurai explains: "I’m the CEO of a company called Gate Keepers, Incorporated. We receive inquiries from people to defeat evil ghosts." Shiga works part time for her. She tells the transfer student that he has the ability to sense ghosts, and invites him to join Gate Keepers. He accepts.
This is how the transfer student - you - starts life at Gate Keepers. That moment marks the start of his life-or-death battles against the ghosts that lurk in the darkness of Tokyo.
Why settle for one when you can have two!? Air Conflicts arrives this month with a double pack for twice the dogfighting action. The action looks like a lot of fun both from inside and outside of the cockpits for both revised versionf of Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers and Air Conflicts: Vietnam.
Killer Instinct is back with everything under one package including all the characters, new upgrades, new modes, and the old games. I need to play this against my brother and most likley lose...
SMT IV: Apocalypse is interesting as it's a whole new game set in the same timeframe of SMT IV and not simply an enhancement or expansion.
I hadn't realized that it's already been three years since it's release but need to know about the original? We've got you covered with Nick's Review of SMT IV.
The newest expansion is here. Haven't touched it since launch? Maybe only after the first real expansion? Been meaning to get back into it but don't want to shell out for every missing part? The Collection's got you covered with everything from launch including the newest.
And... we've got our last sports entry with more European Football! Not to be left behind by
Pro Evolution, FIFA is also here to hit the field. Fans of either or both will be happy this month!
This has to be the epidemy of getting screwed.
You've fought and then died in the honour of the god and when you get to the doors of Valhala... they are closed? What the hell do you mean they're closed? Not taking this crap you and those like you will show Odin that Vikings are not meant to be messed with as they march themselves towards Valhalla without needing a front door.
You know what? Trailer is below and the 9.25 get's quoted "XCOM 2 is a stunning game and near, if not at the pinnacle of squad-based strategic combat and is an instant classic"
I am happy to see the original coming to the consoles through an upgrade. Having finally started to sit down to this series with Pirate's Curse, I'm looking forward to seeing how it started.
Reus is an interesting
Simulation Town Builder? I've seen Breanna play for hours upon hours only to go back for more. The way that the game is built the consoles should be a good home for it.
Steins;Gate 0 is a visual novel and a follow up to the previously released Steins;Gate. I'll be honest that I don't quite know much about this series but it looks like it should be a good one to get into!
This looks brilliant and amazing. With the PC version coming later this year, console owners are going to get to experience this tactical real time RPG later this month!
The ghosts are back! I've been looking forward to this as I was a fan of the first one. Join up again with Nate or Katie as they run around town taking care of business with Yo-Kai of their own.
