A bunch of new games are headed to Xbox Game Pass this week, but that also means that some titles will be departing the service to make room for those latest additions. On December 31 you can say goodbye to the Dragon of Dojima early entries, as Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 will be leaving the Game Pass library alongside Pro Evolution Soccer 2021 and The Little Acre.

Each Yakuza game is an excellent slice of Japanese crime drama, mostly focused on Kiryu Kazuma as he punches his way out of gangland disputes, property wars, and the occasional conspiracy that goes all the way to the highest echelons of the Japanese government. While there’s still time to play any of the three Yakuza games that are leaving soon, playing all three to completion is unlikely unless you ha…

“Nothing is true; everything is permitted.” We learned this adage in the original Assassin’s Creed, and Assassin’s Creed II carries on the tradition beautifully, inspiring you to rethink the conspiracy at the heart of the series–and to reconsider what you should expect from a sequel. The franchise’s second console outing is an impressive piece of work. Developer Ubisoft Montreal has addressed almost all of Assassin’s Creed’s flaws by filling its follow-up with fresh and enjoyable mission types and layering on new and mostly excellent features, while still retaining the joy of movement and atmospheric wonder that characterized the original. These enhancements range from the subtle (you can swim now) to the game-changing (there’s an economy), but aside from a few small missteps, every …

You can’t keep a good slasher IP down for long, as the Halloween film series will be returning in the form of two new games. These new projects–one of which is being developed in Unreal Engine 5–will be made with input from Halloween’s original director John Carpenter, and both of them are being produced at Boss Team, the studio behind the recent Evil Dead: The Video Game.

“As a huge gamer myself, I’m thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly,” Carpenter said to IGN, adding that he’ll be “intimately involved” with the development of the games Come from bangladesh online casino .

The next project from the Horizon studio Guerrilla Games is reportedly an online game, and the third single-player entry in the series is still a while away.

On the Spawn Wave podcast, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said, “Horizon Online is [Guerrilla’s] next project, not whatever the third single-player game looks like. So that one might be a ways off.” Schreier also said that PlayStation’s live-service initiative was “no joke” and that this Horizon online project is one of the few ones that hasn’t been already canceled or flopped like Concord did.

Sony is leaning into the Horizon franchise heavily with the release of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and Lego Horizon Adventures. The former adds visual fidelity on par with the PS5’s capabilities as well as accessibility options. The…

Taking nods from a number of design elements endemic to traditional trading card games and combining those with the flexibility and ease of digitized play fields, Artifact brings a uniquely compelling twist to the TCG formula. The bulk of this comes from Valve’s tentpole franchise of late: Dota 2. Artifact remixes many of the core ideas, focusing on the essentials of MOBAs to bring new layers of tactical complexity to great effect. Establishing a broad number of possibilities allows for near-limitless experimentation and development of new and complex styles of play.

Those unfamiliar with the free-to-play behemoth, Dota 2, and its competitors (League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, etc.) won’t need much additional context, but a grasp of the basics can go …

There’s nothing quite like a good old-fashioned shoot-’em-up to get your pulse racing and your thumbs twitching. And if there’s one company that knows a thing or two about hurling a barrage of beautifully crafted bullets at you, it’s Cave. Akai Katana Shin (known simply as Akai Katana in the UK) is the latest in the studio’s line of psychedelic, 2D arcade shooters to make its way to the Xbox 360, bringing with it an impressive array of gloriously over-the-top visuals, expertly crafted stages, and a lot of depth that make chasing high scores an absolute blast.
