Review: Turnip Boy Robs a Bank

Publisher TBS Games and developer Three Rings have announced I am Adventure Boy: Ultimate Escape Island for Switch. It will launch in March in Japan.

If you’re a fan of the Mega Man Zero series but always thought it was a tad slow, you’ll want to keep an eye on Berserk Boy. The action-platformer from the appropriately-named BerserkBoy Games is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC on March 6. 

Pokemon Concierge was released on Netflix earlier this month, which was a delightful breath of fresh air for the series, and depicted a more calm and zen-like experience in the Pokemon universe. It was a smash hit for Netflix, and one that prompted fans of the series to start asking two questions. One, when are we getting more seasons, and two, when will Game Freak smell the roses and turn this concept into an actual video game?

Berserk Boy first appeared on Steam in 2022 and immediately impressed as a fast-paced action platformer inspired by classics such as Mega Man. Then it vanished from Steam - and re-appeared, and vanished again, and so on.

High-speed action platformer Berserk Boy will launch for Switch and PC via Steam on March 6, developer BerserkBoy Games announced.

Director Doug Liman is boycotting the premiere of his upcoming in protest to Amazon’s decision to release the movie straight-to-streaming on their Prime Video platform.

John Boyega is set to star in and executive produce The Book of Eli, a TV prequel series based on the 2010 post-apocalyptic action drama of the same name.

David Szymanski, developer of acclaimed horror titles like Dusk and Iron Lung, has just released his latest game, The Pony Factory. Featuring a striking black-and-white aesthetic and gruesome horse skeleton enemies, it looks just as brilliantly bone-chilling as his previous offerings, and it's certainly gone down well on Steam. At the time of writing, it's got a "very positive" rating from players and is flying high on Steam's New and Trending chart. That being said, it's not quite managed to make it all the way to the top of said chart, and it's all because of a turnip on a crime spree. 

A sequel to 2011's, expands upon its predecessor in fun new ways while still keeping the trademark silliness that made the first so beloved. Developed by Snoozy Kazoo and published by Grafitti Games, the title eschews the melee focus of the original and shifts to a more shoot 'em up style with delightful results. Though it's not a very long or complex title, its fast-paced style, inventive weaponry and quests, and frequent laugh-out-loud moments make for an incredibly enjoyable journey.

In The Last of Us Part II Remastered, you’ll experience a brutally emotional action game about how an endless and vicious cycle of violence can slowly chip away at your humanity. In Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, you’re going to play as a god-killer turnip who decides to join a gang and rob a bank.

The problem with 2021’s Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was definitely not its name. In fact, I’d argue it has one of the greatest game titles ever, but its absurd sense of humor and cutesy style could only carry its repetitive three-hour campaign so far. Its 2024 sequel, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, may not have as memorable of a name, but it’s somehow even more ridiculous than its predecessor. See, in order to rob the bank, Turnip Boy gets a gun! A lot of guns in fact! And he’s ready to mow down so many cops and monsters on his way to riches, acceptance, and something far more mysterious. This follow-up may not be much longer, but some much-needed quality of life improvements and cleaned up combat make its more fast-paced action and roguelite structure are a clear improvement over the original.

In their quest to complete just one tab of Old School RuneScape's herculean item collection log, one MMO player has robbed the members of a notorious cult of racists 500,000 times and looted an impressive collection of chickens, shrimp, daggers, axes, and much, much more.
