Demolish & Build Classic – Review

is a video game based on an anime based on a video game series, which means it borrows elements from both, but feels more like the former than the latter. That being said, knowing a lot about the franchise or the anime (or manga) isn't really necessary for this experience. Featuring some of the iconic monsters and spells from, is more of an anime recap than a game, which is a bit unfortunate considering just how excellent the actual gameplay is.

Bethesda boss Todd Howard says Starfield was "basically done" by holiday 2022, and to help test the mammoth RPG, virtually everyone on the development team got a build to play on their own Xbox consoles and PCs at home.

Tilting Point has revealed a new SpongeBob SquarePants mobile game developed by Whaleapp, titled, with a trailer. It’s now available on iOS and Android devices.

A vast open world, base building, and Dwarven ingenuity await you in Polish developer Star Drifters’ action RPG First Dwarf. During PAX West, I was lucky enough to score some ample time with the base-builder, and this multi-faceted game has a lot to offer both single and co-op players – but don’t call it a survival game!

Between Frostpunk 2 and Cities Skylines 2, city builder fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months. A stalwart of PC gaming, it’s always intensely satisfying, poring over your intricate topographical and urban designs, then sitting back to marvel at your architectural creations. But even games like Civilization and Command and Conquer, which blend building and extensive strategy, invite a kind of efficient, sometimes detached approach, where you care more about maximizing success and productivity, and less about the personality of what you’re developing. This is where Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, available to try now thanks to a free Steam download, comes in, using slick, kitbash building mechanics to bring a personal connection back to the building sim.

Cyberpunk 2077 and I have a troubled history. From its disappointing launch state on console and PC back during its earliest days, I’ve had a hard time really getting into the sprawling RPG, as bugs, glitches and overall performance issues held everything back.

may be the last of V's story, but it's a step towards a brighter future for CD Projekt Red. The expansion is both the first and last for the futuristic RPG, which is set in Mike Pondsmith's universe — and after the game's less-than-ideal launch in late 2020, its announcement sowed both seeds of curiosity and doubt. Even though it's not quite flawless in its execution, delivers its promise with an excellent story, engrossing gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements that make the game it always should've been.

Remember how many dildos were originally in Cyberpunk 2077? You couldn’t loot a corner in Night City without picking one up, to the point where CD Projekt Red actually had to patch a number of them out. Lootable dildos weren’t necessarily a problem on their own, but their abundance was a good example of how Cyberpunk’s grand story could occasionally clash with the cheap shock humor found around it. Phantom Liberty aims to right that dildo misalignment, and after some soul-searching, has seemingly found what kind of Cyberpunk story it wants to tell, and nails it. Balancing the punk-rock verve of Mike Pondsmith’s tabletop RPG with an exquisitely crafted spy story and best-in-class visuals, Phantom Liberty is Cyberpunk 2077 at its best.

The original Daymare 1998 was notable as much for its development origins as its actual gameplay – starting life as it did as a fan-made Resident Evil 2 remake. While never quite escaping from the shadow of this context it turned out to be an enjoyable slice of survival horror that showed some genuine potential. I was therefore excited to try out Invader Studio’s prequel title and was pretty impressed with the demo content I tried out earlier this year.

Last year, we took a look at the DUNU Kima , an affordably priced pair of single-driver IEMs that leaned into crisp detail and exceptional comfort. The Kima Classic is the latest version of these earphones and embraces a more V-shaped tuning with bigger bass and even more detail. It’s well suited to rock, pop, and especially gaming, punching above its affordable pricing. It’s as comfortable as ever, and at $109.99, won’t break the bank to try it for yourself.  

A city-building game where you lead the construction of a beaver colony has proven to be such a massive hit in Early Access that the devs have finally been able to invest in a decent trailer.

The Bomberman games, in one guise or another, have been around since the early 1980’s, and the fact that the series is still popular is indicative of how compelling the arcade gameplay is. Navigate a maze, drop a bomb, blow up a friend to much hilarity; repeated over dozens of iterations. Considering how well-practiced the gameplay formula is, it’s absolutely jaw-dropping that Super Bomberman R 2 plays a pretty lousy game of Bomberman.
