Fans have gotten their hopes up for a new Driver game after Ubisoft revealed that it’s “actively working” on the franchise. The topic came up when journalist Stephen Totilo discovered that a live-action Driver series announced in 2021 has been canceled and its production company has been shut down. Will there be a new Driver
The classic Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire games for the GameBoy Advance were originally going to be titled Pokemon Indigo and Crimson. The news emerged via data miners who were combining through files and found “藍バージョン” and “朱バージョン” which translates to Indigo Version and Crimson Version, which are seemingly earlier names for Pokémon Sapphire Version and
If there’s one series that can be relied upon to dole out 80-hour helpings of joy straight into my eager face at regularly scheduled intervals, it’s the RPG brawler stylings of Yakuza/Like A Dragon. One could, I believe, make a convincing argument for Yakuza 0 being – if not the best videogame ever made –
Materially, what this does to the world of Dune: Awakening, is give you an Arrakis that is in the middle of a full-blown war. The Fremen are nowhere to be seen (we’re told they’re currently “missing”), and the Atreides, who are now alive and well in this alternate universe, continue to battle against the Harkonnen
And so Connections reaches the landmark of 400 games. Will it do a Wordle and still be going past 1,000? Hard to say, but given its popularity it seems likely. Today’s game is a potentially difficult one, which is to say it’s roughly in line with the 399 before it! What should you do once

Got something you want to get off your chest? We’re ready and waiting
There are big changes occurring on Game Pass Is this the best Game Pass week ever? As multiple games leave the service, a host of new ones arrive, with some seriously big names bolstering the subscription across Xbox and PC. The question is, what should you be playing from the new Game Pass additions? Big
AndaSeat Kaiser 4: Two-minute review AndaSeat’s Kaiser 4 is a chair that is entirely defined by its lumbar support, and how you can adjust it. Without a shadow of a doubt, everything pretty much revolves around that. And to be fair, it is impressive. It’s a well-implemented system, that, although mildly finicky to install, is
Do you remember when Elden Ring was first announced? That beautiful moment back during E3 2019, when FromSoftware — at that point riding the high of Dark Souls‘ and Bloodborne‘s acclaim — presented a fresh spin on its signature hardcore fantasy RPG formula. It was like Dark Souls, but not quite. A new world, with
The director of Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel was apparently convinced he was getting fired right up to being asked to lead the follow-up. Cyberpunk 2077 lead quest designer Pawel Sasko is currently set to direct the controversial RPG’s as-of-yet untitled sequel, an obviously big task that surely comes with on stresses (we all remember the state
Nintendo’s cryptic announcement of the Emio game earlier this week surprised many fans. Since then, there has been lots of speculation in regards to the game. There has also been some discussion involving who is developing the game. One theory that has been going around is that the game is being developed by Bloober Team,
We can hardly believe at Antstream Arcade HQ that it’s been twelve months since Antstream gloriously returned to Xbox owners. Now, from the comfort of the sofa, controller in hand, anyone with this modern console can enjoy hundreds of retro games.

Today’s Connections is a fitting one for a lazy Sunday – it’s not too hard, so you can solve it at your leisure over a long breakfast. But if you do need some hints, you’ll find them below. What should you do once you’ve finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I’ve also

There are a lot of video game awards and most of them are simply popularity contests, and therefore also stinky borefests. The one that isn’t, in my eyes, is the yearly Independent Games Festival awards – the IGFs. The IGF Celebration Days Steam sale provides plenty of examples as to why, with discounts from now
Throughout my time with Bouncy Chicken from Eastasiasoft I’ve had one overriding thought circling my mind – how on earth am I going to be able to stretch some review thoughts to decent numbers? At least this opening paragraph has taken up fifty words or so. Only another few hundred more to go. How this
Believe it or not, Super Nintendo World has been open for over a year now. Coincidentally, it just so happens that McDonald’s is holding a special Universal Studios campaign in Japan. So, it isn’t that surprising that Nintendo, Universal and McDonald’s are collaborating to give fans a special treat this week. You see, it was
