SEGA has kept its Yakuza franchise in the spotlight throughout the years, and the latest entry to get a remake is coming up for release this week. Featuring not only a remake of Yakuza 3, but also a brand-new adventure starring Yoshitaka Mine, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio promises tons of content. Read our Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties review to see if this two-in-one remake is yet another hit in the making.
Dragon Quest VII is over 25 years old. In fact, it has already been remade once before, for the 3DS. For this second remake, everything has been rebuilt from the ground up with modern sensibilities in mind.
Time Crisis turned 30 this year. Tassei Denki, a manufacturer of licensed gaming equipment, saw fit to release the G’AIM’E (simply pronounced “game”), a dedicated lightgun home console, fully licensed by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It will work on any modern display – from your desktop monitor to your 150” projection screen.

Everybody’s Golf is back! Eight years after the release of Everybody’s Golf on the PS4 in 2017, the popular arcade golf game has returned, but this time things are different. With a new developer and publisher, can the fun the series is known for be captured by a different team?
The Soulslike genre of games has been a staple of modern gaming for well over a decade by this point. Chinese developer Leenzee has produced their own take at this popular (and merciless) genre.
The media hype train is starting to ramp up for the upcoming third Tron movie. Bithell Games has been tasked with developing a new game set within the same universe. TRON: Catalyst has just released, and it has a lot more interactivity than Bithell Games’ last entry, TRON: Identity. We’ve spent some time locked into the Arq Grid, and have our TRON: Catalyst review ready right now.
It has been four years since we last took control of the Doom Slayer, but the time is finally nearly here. We spent the past week or so playing through id Software’s latest entry in this long-running, iconic first-person shooter franchise, and we have our DOOM: The Dark Ages review ready right now.
Blue Prince was worth the wait. It’s easily the best first-person puzzler since Portal (or its incredible sequel). With countless mansion layouts, dozens of rooms to discover and best utilize, plus a nearly constant drip-feed of lore content to absorb, this is an ideal first game for any studio. If you enjoy puzzles even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to check out Blue Prince as soon as you can. Bring a notebook or at least be ready to take a ton of screenshots as you work to unravel the game’s many layers of secrets when it launches on April 10, 2025 on Steam, PlayStation (free w/PS+ Extra or higher subscription), and Xbox Series X|S (also free if you have Xbox Game Pass).
Metal Slug Tactics is a robust turn-based strategy game. You don’t have to be a fan of the franchise to appreciate the tactical options it presents you. While it’s not exactly the most helpful to players who might be new to the genre, the type of person who would even want to try a strategy game is naturally inquisitive anyway, so the trial by fire method of simply experimenting with your units and moves works here. The launch price is fair considering the average campaign length of around five hours, and its roguelike mechanics keep things fresh for each run. If you want a faster-paced turn-based game, then this is one to check out.
