Across several hours, it featured several notable indies, ranging from the unlaunched to those already out and coming to Game Pass. Among the upcoming games, there were some neat-looking indies, like the cyberpunk action-platformerAeon Driveand the previously showcasedOlliOlli World.

Sweaty men not included I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release ofAdvance Wars 1+2 Re-boot Campsince its announcement.

When I started collecting for the Famicom, it was one of the first games I looked for....

3, 2, 1…let’s jam! I like it when a company modifies their logo to fit with the theme of whatever it’s attached to. It’s a stupid thing to like and here it’s just an old timey World War II filter, but I like it nonetheless (see: SEGA matchingAlien: Isolation‘s aesthetic). ThisHearts of Iron IVvideo comes with a nicehistory lesson, likely much needed in some parts of the world (okay, just the United States, and maybe North Korea) as the History Channel is now about Hitler being an alien mermaid or something....

Take Furi for example Yesterday, the developers ofFuriannounced that the Xbox One port of the game would include anexclusive boss battle. It’s such an innocuous thing since a lot of you probably haven’t even heard of it, much less played it, but for the dedicated folks who already have 100% runs completed on PC or PS4, it’s probably a bummer. I mean,Furioriginally came out in July, and now three months later the news drops that a new port has exclusive content?...
