The biggest game EA is planning for this season must be Anthem by BioWare. It’s a persistent multiplayer game with a deep single player campaign. To me, this feels a lot like Bungie’s Destiny, but with a lot more gameplay options.

EA posted the first video of their newest series, This Is Anthem. This particular video will focus on the game’s story, progression and customization. If you want to know more about how this game will work, this is a video you need to watch.

Anthem is coming in 2019 to PC, Xbox One and PS4. A demo is coming Feb 1st, 2019.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Launch Trailer January 18, 2019

Travis Strikes Again is the third game in the No More Heroes franchise, and a game I’m so pleased to see developed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. The game was first announced alongside the Nintendo Switch, but details about it were scarce at that time. Now we know the game will feature series hero Travis and a partner (playable by couch co-op) battle through multiple game challenges inspired by games from the 80s and early 90s.

Take a look at the game’s launch trailer and see for yourself what is in store for us! It isn’t No More Heroes 3 (that may come later), but it sure looks sounds and feels like a No More Heroes game.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

We are continuing our Let’s Play of Spider-Man on the PS4 Pro. In this part we check out some of the game’s research stations, battle with the Shocker (who shocks people), get evicted, and try to find a place to crash for the night.

All gameplay footage includes full video commentary.

Eagle eyed viewers may notice this part has a resolution drop from previous parts. That is due to the fact we were unhappy with the framerate we were getting at higher resolutions. We will be tweaking the resolution over the next few parts to see what we like best.

Spider-Man is out now exclusively for PS4.

It got an expansion pack New Luigi Bros U in 2013 as part of the Year of Luigi. Now both games are on the Nintendo Switch, and here’s the official launch trailer!

Catherine Full Body Coming to the US and Europe January 10, 2019

When the 2011 puzzle game Catherine was first released in the US, it not only was loved by many, it fundamentally rewrote the book on what kind of story is possible with a game. Catherine told a mature story about a young man faced with the choice of moving on to the next relationship phase with the woman he was dating steady, or risk his stable relationship by hooking up with a spitfire who didn’t believe in being tied down by marriage.

After completing it, I had been hoping for years that Atlus would make a sequel. Earlier today, Atlus finally released the game on PC in glorious 4K with an unlocked framerate, but that wasn’t the only Catherine related news Atlus had to share with us today. Catherine: Full Body is an upcoming remaster of the original Catherine for the current game consoles with all new story components. Until today, I believed that game would never get a release in the US or Europe. I’m happy to announce that belief was wrong!

Catherine: Full Body is coming in 2019 to PS4 and PlayStation Vita.
