S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl's development has been a little rocky of late due to the conflict in Ukraine, which is where developer GSC Game World is located.

That's Deadpool for those who aren't familiar with his many monikers. And he's come to Firaxis' Marvel Game Universe to wreak havoc on the already-tested heroes of Marvel's Midnight Suns who already have their hands full fighting Lilith and the other forces of darkness.

But hey, hes Deadpool. And he does whatever he wants.

From New Zealand devs Black Salt Games, DREDGE is a sandbox fishing adventure game with a Lovecraftian spin on proceedings. Playing to the Great Master's small fishing community tropes while hinting at more than meets the eye below the murky depths, DREDGE's cute and accessible exterior belies an experience with dread and horror written all over it.

And we're in love with every aspect of it so far.

Fans love to tug on their own heartstrings when it comes to Nintendo's beloved Fire Emblem series. Whether it's seeing past heroes in other games, other games paying design homage or an all-new title, there's the sense that a die hard FE fan just can't get enough of that wonderful fluff.

Nintendo knows this, which is why Fire Emblem Engage might be the most fan-centric release in the franchise yet as it looks to its own rich history to pad out key aspects of its own design, weaponising nostalgia in unique and creative ways we know fans will just eat up.

The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection launched in 2020 and is a loving remaster of 1995’s Command & Conquer and 1996’s Command & Conquer: Red Alert. With new HD visuals and remastered video, it's the definitive release of these classic RTS games. And it's currently 85% off on Steam.

PlayStation 5 sci-fi rogue-lite action game Returnal is coming to PC on February 15, 2023 - with Sony confirming the release date alongside what extra features players can expect.

Out January 27 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, the Dead Space remake from EA and Motive is shaping up to be the first big release for 2023. And as enough time has passed since the original game's 2008 debut - it's the sort of remake project that has fans excited. Turns out the entire team at Motive are also big fans, and development began as a remake from fans without any mandate from up top.

With the Dead Space remake out this month, we sit down with the voice of Isaac, Gunner Wright, and Motive’s Joel MacMillan to talk in-depth about this passion project.

World Championship Boxing Manager 2 is a 2023 sequel to a 1991 classic, with hand-drawn 32-bit inspired visuals in a mix of running your boxing empire as well as being a bit of sports sim . It's the style of game that became very popular on PC in the 1990s, and as a surprising decades-later sequel - it's looking very cool too.

If you've had an itch for some of that rhythmic Guitar Hero button-pressing action the past little while, but your guitars no longer work or you just plain got rid of it all, fear not -- ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree has you covered in part by way of its rhythm-based combat setup, which is also backed up by an epic Norse-inspired tale.

As a cinematic story-driven co-op action game, Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is on track for a 2023 release. It's been in development for several years and comes from a studio with a solid track record, but a leaked screenshot of the in-game menu doesn't paint a positive picture.

In Surviving the Abyss players take charge of an underwater science lab charged with expansion and survival, in equal measure. Coming to us via Paradox Interactive's Paradox Arc label, the game is currently up on Steam in Early Access form for less than $30 dollarydoos. And it looks cooooool.

DirectStorage is a new bit of DirectX PC tech that will improve load times for PC games when installed on a fast NVMe SSD - basically bringing PS5-style one or two-second loading times. Square Enix's Forspoken, which is out on January 26, is the first game to support it. Being cutting-edge tech also means you'll need a beast of a PC to play the game.

Which isn't to say we're not still keen on the game, because we most definitely are. But as far as "story trailers" go, this one doesn't really give us much to go on, other than there are big battles, big monsters and a bit of dancing. But boy, does this look like a fun jaunt through a dark fantasy Ancient China from a studio known to deliver the action goods.

Back in 2020 we stumbled upon an Indie sleeper called Coffee Talk -- a game set in a fictional Seattle where vampires, werewolves, orcs and more all often need a dose of the good stuff -- coffee. Once inside your cafe, these characters ordering said coffee (or other drinks) would ultimately pour out intricate stories about their day to day lives with you as the game's barista becoming inextricably involved with them, often helping shape their narrative outcome just based on your service alone.

Now, a sequel to this little gem is on the horizon, and is scheduled to land on PC and consoles this April.

Obviously in celebration of the release of HBO Max's The Last of Us adaptation, which is so far garnering a fair amount of critical praise (we're yet to see it, but did have early access), Sony is offering up a free game trial (read: demo) of The Last of Us Part 1, rebuilt from the ground up for the PS5 for anyone who may have missed the OG and is now itchy to get all interactive on escaping the Clickers.

For those that need a refresher Black Myth: Wukong is an action-RPG from Chinese studio Game Science for PC and console platforms. In it players take on the role of the Monkey King in a visually impressive adaptation of the classic "Journey to the West" tale. And that's impressive in a 4K, ray-tracing, DLSS, jaw-dropping way.

In thinking about this deal, I couldn't help but chuckle at the confused Americans who'll undoubtedly see the HJ's logo, recognise it for its familiarity, and then scratch their heads over why the words "Hungry Jack's" aren't the words "Burger King". But then, it's the simple things in life that help me smile.

Anyways, the NBL and NBA 2K have reached an agreement to bring Australia's National Basketball League jerseys into NBA 2K23 which is further evidence of the growth of our local league which hasn't enjoyed this much interest or investment or engagement since the 90s.
