Honestly, given Rocket League’s prodigious success, it’s a surprise more games haven’t attempted to follow in its car tracks. Announced this week, Turbo Golf Racing looks to change that. It’s a multiplayer game about driving a car into a ball, but as the name suggests it’s drawing inspiration from those ruined good walks rather than
To my mind the original PlayStation never had a good kart racer, but that might change sometime in the future – sort of. The developer of the recent Bloodborne PSX demake has announced their next project and yep, it’s Bloodborne Kart. There’s a teaser trailer below.

Master Chief makes his official television debut today, but you won’t find Microsoft’s iconic green Spartan soldier on traditional TV stations.

Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel is a newly announced survival horror game opening its doors this year that invites players to survive a monster-infested hotel.
