PlayStation announced that its next State of Play presentation will air at 3 p.m. PT on June 2. It’ll last for about 30 minutes and focus on third-party games and PlayStation VR2 titles. When announcing previous State of Play presentations, Sony has been very clear about what to expect in any of its specific showcases. So we can rule out any sort of first-party games like the God of War Ragnarok. The game was rated in South Korea yesterday, indicating that it could be released soon, however, it’s unlikely to appear in this upcoming showcase. So what can we expect?…

We could be hearing more about God of War Ragnarok‘s release date soon. The game was rated by South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee.

When a game gets rated, it tends to signal that a release date is right around the corner. Last month, Sony Santa Monica director Cory Barlog released a video in which he says he wants to share footage of the game, but it’s not…

Thankfully, we won’t have to wait much longer for this adventure as it’s only a few months away. Since its announcement, the rights for Lord of the Rings games have gone up for sale,…

Legends never die … even when those legends are obscure Polish 3D platformers. In the 3D platformer boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s, many new franchises emerged as developers looked to catch part of the hysteria started by games like Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot. One such series was Kao the Kangaroo from Tate Interactive, an independent Polish game developer. The series starred a yellow kangaroo with boxing gloves who tries to save his family from an evil hunter. Particularly popular in Poland and other parts of Europe, Kao the Kangaroo got four games but eventually faded into…

The Saints Row series is making its grand return after seven years. The Saints Row universe fully reset at the end of the Saints Row IV DLC Gat Out of Hell, so Volition’s next game is a full-on reboot of the series. After the underwhelming Agents of Mayhem, this reboot allowed the developer to redefine what a Saints Row game could be without the constraints of classic characters or settings. Unfortunately, that new vision is much more plain than I’d hoped despite the series’ expected madcap tone. While the results of this reimagining have the enjoyable and wacky Saints Row…
