One of my favorite games of all time has just gotten a full re-release on mobile and tablet platforms! Control: Ultimate Edition, developed by Remedy Games (creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake) has been re-released on iPhone and iPad. If you’re not familiar with the game, here’s the original trailer.

The game is currently $4.99 US on the App Store, provided you have a recent enough device to run it. (Ed Note: Personally we would recommend an iPad Pro). The best part is the game has been released in full with all of its original DLC, including the famous second DLC called AWE, a crossover with Alan Wake. If you’ve already purchased the game on Mac through the Mac App Store, you will not need to pay the additional 4.99 to play the iPad or iPhone version.

Control: Ultimate Edition is out now for PC, Mac, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and iOS/iPadOS.

Nintendo has just released Pokemon Champions, a Pokemon battle focused free-to-play game. When connected to Pokemon Bank, the game allows you to use supported Pokemon you’ve collected from other games (such as Pokemon Go) and use them for online ranked battles! Check out the opening video below:

You may want to get your Pokemon Bank account in order before installing the game. Since Champions’s launch we can attest to performance slowdowns in the Bank which may add to transfer times.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been setting the video game landscape on fire since the release of its Phantom Liberty expansion several years ago. Based on the iconic tabletop RPG Cyberpunk, created by Mike Pondsmith, the game, and its anime expansion Cyberpunk Edgerunners, featured legendary characters gamers identified with, and many of us have longed for a way to return to Night City in 2077. That return will come on the form of the Cyberpunk TCG.

Once launched, this officially licensed TCG will release in booster packs similar to games like Magic: The Gathering and will feature cards with the art and likenesses of many of the iconic characters from the iconic video game. So how do you play this game? Here are the rules:

If you’re interested in learning more about the game you can check out their official website. If you’re interested in funding the game, you can back it on their Kickstarter page! As of the time of posting the game has met its minimum funding goal, with just under $14.5 million dollars backing it! There’s still plenty of time to back the game. The developers have promised if they reach $15 million dollars in funding, they will provide an exclusive promo card of the character of Lucy (foil and non foil) to backers.
