Cosy indie sensation Unpacking is heading for mobile this year
Whilst Humble Bundle is mostly known for its eponymous bundles of cheap video games that bloat our Steam libraries every month, they also operate an indie video game publisher, Humble Games. They have had quite a few hits, but now one of their undisputed top titans, Unpacking, is coming to mobile devices. Developed by Witch Bean, Unpacking is pretty much what it says on the tin. You follow the life of a female protagonist as she moves into eight different abodes through the years, from 1997 to 2018, and it is down to you to unpack her boxes and organise your new home. You will start with a single room to unbox and decorate, before advancing to multiple rooms, to a full house. It is a very…
Blade and Soul Revolution tackles the biggest MMO bugbear
Anyone who has ever played an MMO can attest that the most tedious task you are practically required to do is to grind, whether that is to complete the story missions or go ahead and tackle the endgame content, its a slog, however thankfully Netmarble is giving players a reprieve in Blade and Soul Revolution. A new training ground has opened, dubbed the Skyforest Plateau. Whilst the name sounds quite pretty, the main draw to this new area is the XP potential. You will be able to hunt high-level monsters whilst spending more stamina to maximise the among of experience you will gain, helping you reach that required level much easier. After you have achieved your slightly not-so-hard-earned l…

Our hapless heroes are determined to make this anniversary one to remember, and what better way to do this than to carve the face of their fearless leader, Gru, onto the Moon? It is a nice little callback to the first movie for the fans, and one that will require you to collect the necessary oxygen tanks, hammers, and parts to build the rocket and laser needed.…
Indie developers are thrust into the spotlight in the inaugural Pocket Playfest
Some of the best games out there aren't the highly-financed AAA titles from affluent developers and studios, but instead, the humble Indie scene, developed by Barry and Dave in a shed in Devon after their day jobs. TapTap, the games discovery platform, is shining a light on these independent idealists, with the Pocket Playfest: An Indie Celebration. This inaugural event will kick off June 16th, and last until June 29th, 14 days on indie magic. TapTap will be inviting dozens of developers to showcase their creations to a wider audience, one that an independent studio might otherwise not reach which is incredibly invaluable. Participants will be able to play and vote for their favourite games…

NetEase Games announces perfect crossover for its asymmetrical survival horror Identity V
Identity V has had quite a few crossovers by this point, as well as amassed quite a big cast of Hunters and Survivors, but very few have hit the nail on the head quite as squarely as this latest team-up with physiological horror IP, Angels of Death. It has taken long enough for these two properties to cross, as the dark, morbid nature of Angels of Death definitely meshes well with the themes of Identity V. When a young girl named Rachel wakes up in the lowest basement in a sick and twisted murder game, she teams up with serial killer Zack to escape, on the condition that when they do, he will dispatch her, based on Rachels own wish. Morbid indeed. The Manor Escaping Project will task you t…

Never fight alone in new mode for Boxing Star
FourThirtyThree inc has announced the implementation of a new mode for their sports simulator Boxing Star. Tag Mode is the newest way for you to enjoy the action, and will be adding a whole new dimension to gameplay for your to master. As the name suggests, Tag Mode takes a little step away from the reality of Boxing and borrows a bit from wrestling matches. You pick two characters before the fight, and then can freely switch between them as the action unfolds. It is an interesting concept for the sport and one that opens up a lot of tactical possibilities. You could start with a fighter with high stamina to slowly whittle down your opponent, before tagging in your more fragile but stronge…

One of the best parts of any MMORPG is heading into the PvP mode and duking it out with the best of the best and emerging victorious, so the return of the iconic Bounty Hunter minigame in Old School RuneScape comes to much fanfare. As you enter the battlefield, called the Crater, you will be assigned a target to hunt down and slap into submission.
