Lifeline 2 Updated With New Engine/Improved Apple Watch Integration June 5, 2025

If you own an Apple Watch and an iPhone I want you to close this browser window right now, open the App Store and immediately purchase a game called Lifeline. It is a wonderful combination of a choose your own adventure game and an alternate reality game, where you try to help someone through a supernatural situation.

The thing I appreciated most of all about the games was its seamless progress integration between my Watch and my iPhone. So if I had to wait for an event to transpire, my Watch could notify me of the event, and present me the chance to respond to it on the spot, as opposed to having to bring up my phone every time I wanted to respond. However, I later discovered this integration was not completely seamless on all the sequel and spin-off games of the Lifeline franchise! At the time of my ownership of an Apple Watch, only the original Lifeline had this functionality, but support for it was later added for Lifeline: Silent Night.

Late yesterday, the App Store released an update for Lifeline 2, where they announced they have ported the game to their improved engine, bringing with it the improved integration features that made the first game so incredible.

Lifeline 2 is out now for iOS and Apple Watch.

VR Game PROJECT MIX Kickstarter Launched May 22, 2025

A promising Virtual Reality game which offers you the chance to play a bartender in a cyberpunk-inspired future has just entered its kickstarter, and I wanted to tell everyone about it!

PROJECT MIX is a virtual-reality story-based interactive visual novel, where you play as a bartender in a cyberpunk future. Your job is not just to make your customers happy, but your bosses and peers as well. Everyone seems to have their own agendas. The game has just offered a request for funding on Kickstarter, and if you want to give the game a closer look, you can check out their Kickstarter right here.

As of the time of this article being posted, the game has already met its funding goal and exceeded one of its promised stretch goals. Many more stretch goals still have yet to be funded, but (if reached) they promise it can bring new features to the game such as additional original music tracks, a flat version of the game that does not require VR, or a scene set at the beach!

Project Mix currently has a demo out for PCVR on Steam if you want to check it out now. The developers said they will also be targeting a Quest 3 release.

Bitmap Books Releases Hurt Me Plenty: The Ultimate Guide to First Person Shooters from 2003-2010 May 21, 2025

One of our favorite video game coffee table book publishers has to be Bitmap Books! Every book we’ve picked up from them has literally been a reference-quality tome focused on providing not just the history of its featured games, but also presents each of the games as a work of art. Today, they’ve released their newest book, Hurt Me Plenty: The Ultimate Guide to First Person Shooters 2003-2010.

The new book, written by Stuart Maine, is a sequel to Hurt Me More, which we featured in a previous video. I remain a huge fan of First Person Shooters, and I believe some of the finest examples of this genre was released during this era. So you can be absolutely sure I am excited to see it finally released.

You can check out some info about the new book, and place an order for it here.

Nintendo Switch 2 – Creator’s Voice May 21, 2025

We are mere weeks away from the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo has been allowing us to pass the time waiting for the console to come out by highlighting some exclusive developer interviews in a segment they’re calling Creator’s Voice.

The first up I want to highlight is Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition. Nintendo promises that all the enhancements and DLC that were released over the lifespan of the game will be included in the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game….and it looks like we’ll be getting some Joy-Con 2 motion controller for

At E3 2015, Sony and Square Enix blew us all away announcing the game everyone had wanted to play for nearly 9 years, Final Fantasy VII Remake. After being a smash hit on multiple platforms, Nintendo has confirmed they are bringing it to Switch 2!

Finally we want to highlight my favorite new game that launched earlier this year, the cooperative multiplayer masterpiece Split/Fiction. Well, it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, and its director will not mince any words about it!

Final Fantasy VII Remake is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 June 5th, 2025. It is out now for PS4, PS5 and PC.

Nintendo Releases Update for Switch That Adds Data Transfer to Switch 2 April 30, 2025

Nintendo Switch owners lucky enough to get their hands on a preorder for a Switch 2 should power on their OG consoles right now because Nintendo has just released a free update for them. The new system software, version 20.0, adds a bunch of new features but in our opinion the most important new feature is the ability to transfer your Switch’s internal save data to a brand-new Switch 2.

Nintendo is currently offering two methods of performing a Switch to Switch 2 transfer through their new feature. The first would be to do a direct Switch to Switch 2 transfer, the other is to tell your Switch to save all your data to their cloud service for later retrieval on the Switch 2. This second option would be useful for gamers who plan to sell or trade their Nintendo Switch before getting their hands on the new Switch 2. In both cases this process is irreversible, and once concluded your original Switch will reset to factory settings.

This is a much welcome feature, and I’m happy Nintendo is offering it to gamers. While Nintendo has offered system transfer options in the past, including from Wii to Wii U, as well as DSi to 3DS, their offerings for Switch to Switch transfer has been disappointing. It is nice to see this added at the right time so we can be ready for when the new console launches.
