Housemarque is a modern-day arcade powerhouse. Games like Resogun and Nex Machina were homages to zany, psychedelic shoot ’em ups.

I first encountered the Taiko no Tatsujin series in an arcade in Tokyo, but now it’s even less accessible: it’s out on PC but only via the Microsoft store. If you’re willing to make that journey, you’ll also be greeted by two new DLCs which adds Studio Ghibli tracks and music from classic Bandai Namco
So, James’ Steam Deck review suggests the new handheld PC is pretty good. Good news for Valve, bad news for my wallet. I’ve apparently got a month before I need to commit to buying one, however, according to details laid out by Valve of when emails will go out to those who were first in-line

Elden Ring finally hits consoles and PC tomorrow, and today, one day before its release, Bandai Namco and From Software have released the patch notes for Patch 1.02, which is essentially the game’s day-one patch. In it, you’ll find numerous fixes, bug squashes, and more. If this day-one patch is like previous ones, it’s likely
Lots of games purport to feel like playable cartoons, but I really do mean it when I say that Happy Juice Games’ delightful point and click adventure Lost In Play feels like a playable cartoon. While the full game isn’t due out until the summer, I can confirm that its 30-minute Steam Next Fest demo
