The announcement of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is exciting for multiple reasons, but developer Evil Empire coming full circle, along with the support of fellow Dead Cells team Motion Twin, is what’s really got me on board. Hearing that music hit always does the trick, even if I’ve not traditionally been as ardent of a Castlevania die-hard as many of my peers. It’s the team behind the new Metroidvania that will ultimately determine its fate, however, and I can think of few developers I’d trust more than the combined efforts of the people that brought us one of the most magnificent…

Hey, do you remember those Hulk Hands that we all went nuts for when we were kids? They’re back, and GamesRadar+ can exclusively reveal the new, improved version here.Much like the 2003 originals, these things are massive – they’re 1:1 scale, which gives a sobering idea of just how massive Hulk is. They have an equally massive name, too; their official title is “Marvel Legends Series Incredible Hulk Premium Roleplay Fists.” Although I’d like to see the jade giant try to get that out mid-fight (it’s not quite as catchy as “smash”), that does give an idea of what you…
A goose with your skillset must be able to honk freely, unconstricted. They must be versatile, capable, adaptable. They must be grounded, stable, constant. I believe you are ready, goose. Honk. That isn’t quite what Keanu Reeves’ talkative tailor says in the reveal trailer for Space Marine 2 devs Saber’s Untitled John Wick Game, but it’s what I heard. The stubbled and suited hitman’s latest journey into videogamedom is touted as an uber-faithful putting of Wick’s cinematic martial arts brawling and gunfighting into your hands, but until Saber prove otherwise, I’m treating it as a spiritual twin to House House’s…
The Crimson Desert system requirements are surprisingly accessible for the most part, with CPU and GPU specs being quite modest. However, with 16GB of RAM as a minimum and over 130GB of SSD storage space required, the currently high prices for these parts might mean an expensive upgrade to get this game running for anyone whose gaming PC is lacking in these areas. It’s no surprise to see that you won’t need the very best graphics card to at least run Crimson Desert, and it’s still nice to see just how modest its entry-level GPU requirement is. The Nvidia GeForce…

If I had it my way, I’d be getting my ass kicked at Street Fighter 2 with my beloved on an actual arcade machine. However, she’s not able to assume her role as Chung Li Lighting Kicking my head in, so I’ll be taking myself on a date to my couch with the wonderful Super Pocket.It’s no secret that I think the Super Pocket is one of the best retro handhelds to grace the scene in recent years. It helps that it’s only $59.99 at Amazon, as that price is sure to get you hot under the collar when you…
Sharpen your fangs and chuck out all of the garlic bread in your house, Castlevania’s back with a new game co-developed by the folks who made roguelike-Metroidvania Dead Cells. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is the name of this fresh bout of vampire whippage set in medieval Paris, which publishers Konami have teased is just the first of many Castlevania things they have coming as the series turns 40.

It’s not long until The Mandalorian heads to cinemas for its first big-screen adventure in The Mandalorian and Grogu. For co-creator and director Jon Favreau, that means going above and beyond to capture the attention of a willing audience used to streaming the Star Wars series on Disney Plus.Speaking during a panel at the New York Toy Fair (H/T ScreenRant), Favreau said, “We gotta up our game now for the movie theater, and that means taller aspect ratios for IMAX, building sets that take full advantage of that… we have to notch everything up and then the storytelling as well.”Favreau…
