Front-page  Silent Hill 2 remake developer Bloober Team has seemingly redesigned James' face

The original Silent Hill 2 is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time which is why anticipation of its upcoming remake has fans seriously hyped. Following months of speculation, Konami finally announced the Silent Hill 2 remake in October 2022 and it will be developed by the studio that brought us the likes of Layers of Fear, The Medium and Blair Witch, to name a few, Bloober Team. Check out the Silent Hill 2 trailer below! Granted, as a big fan of the series, I was a little disappointed that Konami had skipped giving us a modern remake of the original Silent Hill that was released on PlayStation in 1999 (and no, I'm not counting Shattered Memories) but given that Silent Hill 2 is one of my favourite video...

Created by Digital Dreams, the...

Front-page  Steam 10/10 shooter rises up charts, free for a limited time

Would you like to play a fantastic indie shooter on Steam that some fans have been scoring 10/10 for free? Of course, you do, otherwise, I doubt you'd be reading these words if not. Back in the early 1990s, series such as DOOM, Wolfenstein and Quake were taking the video game industry by storm and would help shape the first-person shooter genre for generations to come. In fact, those series are still going strong to this very day. Check out the Ultrakill trailer below! However, no matter how the likes of DOOM and Wolfenstein have evolved today, sometimes it's nice to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to a time of simpler days. It's why retro-inspired games are popular with the indie dev community and one such game is the...

Front-page  Persona 3 prequel "Aegis: The First Mission" will be ported to Switch & Steam

Back in 2007, Atlus released the action RPG Aegis: The First Mission, a Persona 3 prequel focused on Aigis, exclusively for mobile phones in Japan. It hasn't been available to download for quite some time, and with no ROMs available online, the game was considered lost. That will change sometime soon, however, thanks to the G-Mode Archives, a series of re-releases of Japan-exclusive mobile phone games on Switch and Steam. The G-Mode Archives release, like the original, will only support Japanese text (as confirmed on the Steam page), but it's possible an English translation patch will be available after launch. While the original game has been lost, a full playthrough video was uploaded to the Japanese video-sharing website NicoNico...

Front-page  Preview: Read Only Memories: Neurodiver (PC/Mac)

I would describe Read Only Memories: Neurodiver as a cyberpunk psychic mystery visual novel with point-and-click adventure elements. Or is it the other way around? Either way, use the word psychic in any capacity describing a game and I'll instantly be interested. (Or the word cryptid, kind of funny because Read Only Memories: Neurodiver actually references Mothmen 1966 by the same publisher.) It follows an esper (psychic) named Luna, codename Esper8801 or ES88 for short, as she tries to unravel the identity and reasoning of Golden Butterfly. I was lucky enough to play a preview build. Like, seriously lucky. Because I've been drawn fully into the world of future Neo-San Francisco. Luna is generally referred to as ES88 in-game, so I'm...

Front-page  MisterFPGA has been updated to include an official release for its Nintendo 64 core

The highly popular and accurate FPGA hardware, MisterFGPA, has received today a brand new update with a long-awaited feature, or rather, a new core for hardcore players to enjoy, with the N64 core. For the unaware, an FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which in layman's terms means that the hardware is made up of a wide variety of "arrays" that allow the programmer to modify the way in which the hardware itself works, basically reconfiguring the hardware to achieve or meet certain requirements, and in some cases, to mimic other hardware, which in the case of the MisterFPGA, it mimics the original hardware of several video game consoles through "cores", which are developed by many contributors and cover a wide range of...
