This Saturn-era throwback racer is the most fun I’ve had on my Steam Deck in months Most retro racing games have left me cold. This took me back to 1995. Image credit:Walaber Entertainment Supposedly, actors use a particularly sad or poignant memory to help them show that emotion in a scene. I’ve never spoken to an actor, so I don’t know if this is true, but if I was asked to summon the emotion of a man thinking back over a life that could have been, I’d only have to picture one thing: The SEGA Saturn....

Todd McFarlane insists his Spawn movie reboot is happening, starts making threats Maybe the Spawn reboot was the friends we made along the way. Image credit:New Line Cinema Wake up, honey. Todd McFarlane has said once again that his Spawn movie reboot is close to finally happening. The thing about pop culture news is that sometimes it feels like you’re stuck in a bizarre Groundhog Day-type of situation, and the most infamous example in recent memory might be that of the long-hyped big-screen Spawn reboot, which aims to right the wrongs of the not-very-good 1997 movie ....

Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 38 - The best game you’d never believe was from that developer. Hi-Fi Rush is a joyous cel-shaded rush of a rhythm combat game with a tone and art style not unlike Jet Set Radio, and it’s surprising, because it comes from a studio most widely known for Evil Within, a spiritual follow-up to Resident Evil , and Ghostwire Tokyo, which is sort of like Far Cry: Shibuya via Siren Blood Curse....

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 feels like a lost Xbox 360 game, and I mean that in the best possible way Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a game that knows exactly what it is, and how to demonstrate it to everyone. Image credit:VG247 Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is perhaps not a sequel I ever expected to play. The original Relic Entertainment game was unusual by perhaps every measure. It was a shooter-melee hybrid that came from a studio chiefly known for its strategy games....
