When Foamstars first splashed onto screens earlier this year, the initial reaction was that it desperately wants to be Splatoon. Now, having played a handful of matches, I can confirm that, although it tries a few new things, the comparisons with Nintendo’s inky shooter are completely valid. http://dlvr.it/SvGR2V

In most survival games you’re lucky if you have a shelter fashioned from a few sticks and leaves. Maybe a little fire you can use to cook nasty-tasting berries that do just enough to keep hunger at bay. And while Nightingale starts off in a similar way, with little more than a handful of sticks and stones to keep you alive, it’s not long until you’re able to build something altogether more impressive. Axes are pretty simple to craft early on and are extremely useful for chopping down trees, which can then be turned into logs. Before long you have enough to build a simple log cabin; nothing too fancy, but it provides shelter from both the elements and the local wildlife. It looks quick and simple to make too; although I wasn’t able to play Nightingale at gamescom 2023, the developers did showcase how it’s created a simplified crafting system designed to make building anything – from simple tools to impressive buildings – quick and easy. So much so, in fact, that within a few minutes

The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 clearly wants to be the definitive collection that every Metal Gear fan is going to want and, well, so far so good based on what I’ve played. What Konami has packed in here for 60 bucks – so many amazing Metal Gear games, and some spectacular fan service extras – has left a heck of a first impression after my two hours spent playing it. After getting to play it, I could not believe how much care went into this collection. Like Konami’s TMNT Cowabunga Collection, I don’t think any fan is going to be disappointed. The NES games are there and all of the different versions are included, with Metal Gear Solid clearly having gotten a ton of love and attention for the first time since the Twin Snakes remake back in the GameCube days. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are the amazing Bluepoint HD Remakes, but even those received subtle touch-ups according to Konami’s Director of Brand Marketing Ben Kinney, “We put the white gloves on and just whatever nee

Since Black Myth: Wukong released its first trailer three years ago, every year on August 20th, the developer Game Science has shown something new about the development progress of the game. However, what's different this year is that we finally got to play it. Game Science held a large-scale Black Myth: Wukong hands-on event in Hangzhou China, inviting over one thousand players from all over the country to personally play the latest trial version of this anticipated action-RPG. This 45-minute demo provided three different boss fights and a relatively complete chapter experience. It’s worth noting that after the event, the dev team made some adjustments to the trial version based on the feedback and suggestions received during the closed-door evaluation I participated in. As a result, my experience may differ slightly from what others experienced in Hangzhou and at Gamescom in Cologne. Due to time limitations, this trial version did not include the level-up system. However, it pr
