Get it while it’s hot! Namco Bandai just put out a newDark Souls IIItrailer, and it’s pretty much two straight minutes of unfettered gameplay. It also features a cover of the hit song “True Colors,” written for Cyndi Lauper and mastercrafted by Phil Collins. Against All Odds, that’s mysecond Collins referencethis week — I’ll be here for One More Night. As always, I suggest not watching it if you want to go in blind, as a ton of cool enemy reveals are spoiled....

Don’t you just love it when games poke fun at other games? This teaser forKane & Lynch: Dead Men(PC, X360, PS3) doesn’t really show anything at all gameplay wise, but is a funny treat nonetheless.

And the community is already gearing up to unleash some of its own custom mods for the upcoming Bethesda title. If you head over toNexus Mods, you’ll see that the site has now opened up its modding section for the game.

Taito and Inin have announced that a port of 2005 arcade title,Spica Adventure, is coming to Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One sometime in Spring 2024. Never heard ofSpica Adventure? That’s not surprising, considering it was only released in Japanesearcades in 2005.

You play as Nico, who beats the crap out of robots with a magical umbrella....

It’s hard Hard Head 2is janky as hell; but that’s what makes it so fascinating. Released in arcades back in 1991, the game wants to be aSuper Mario Bros.clone. Yet for some reason, the developers at SunA decided to throw out everything that made Mario control so well and instead amped up the weirdness. The story starts out with our protagonist dancing with his girlfriend. A giant cyclops then comes along and sucks the girl into his mouth and starts chewing on her....

See for yourself Yacht Club Games is gearing up for their second free expansion for the originalShovel Knight— a game that I felt was wholly complete on its own, but is somehow the gift that keeps on giving.Plague Knightwas really good, mainly because the developers found a way to make every level feel fresh again with some slight tweaks and a new character that felt fresh. And they’re basically doing the same thing with Specter Knight inSpecter of Torment....

Disney Interactive has tasked Korean developer SmileGate with the project which is looking at a 2014 release in Asia, reports MMO Culture. Project PK, as it’s known currently, could presumably see a worldwide release under the right conditions....
