Isla de las Muñecas, the Mexican island that holds the Guinness World Record for largest collection of haunted dolls, served as the inspiration for Where Dolls Hang, a survival horror game where you play a detective searching for people who've gone missing in a particularly cursed location.

Watch Dogs 2 is currently $2.50 on Steam. It's hardly a classic, but it's not terrible either. At one cent per 10 minutes of content, how can you resist? It's only five pleasantly tactile mouse clicks away.

Brigador devs think it's crucial that their abrasive, hardcore mech sims aren't for everyone: 'I think we make boy slop, but that's okay'

When I recently spoke to Stellar Jockeys lead artist Jack Monahan and lead designer Hugh Monahan about Brigador Killers, a big focus for me was approachability versus depth. Most of my favorite games are super-crusty and complex RPGs or immersive sims, and the studios that made them⁠—Troika, Looking Glass, Obsidian, to name a few⁠—often found sustained financial success difficult or impossible.

What was the first videogame song that you ever heard?

I've been playing videogames since my Dad was convinced my tiny baby hands were strong enough to grip a Mega Drive controller for more than five seconds. I'm sure he was just trying to convince my mum that the CD add-on was worth the insane amount of money—it definitely wasn't, as I'm told it broke within mere weeks of him buying it. I'm still not convinced that my Mum didn't have a hand in that.

That's a bummer: Frictional's Soma follow-up Ontos has been delayed into 2027

We wanted six, but we got seven

To be truthful, these days it's generally surprising when a game isn't delayed these days, whether that be for a month, months, or even a full year. But perhaps in a year like this one, where a certain game that promises to engulf every other game around it like that black hole it truly is is due for release in November, you can't blame a studio opting to delay to get things in ship shape. Which is exactly what Frictional are doing with Ontos, pushing their next game from this year into 2027.

RAMnarök may not be a literal cataclysm, of the kind that smashed Cinder City’s version of Seoul into dirty bits, but it ironic that the upcoming tactical shooter MMO seemingly spent much of the past day oblivious to the fact that there’s a worldwide memory crisis going on. Upon yesterday’s launch of its Steam page, Cinder City declared a set of system requirements that listed 32GB of RAM among the minimum specs – twice what you’d typically see for a modern, well-budgeted 3D game – and a honking 64GB in the recommended specs.

Ah, don't worry, we're not stressing about that. That's essentially what the makes of samurai action battler Onimusha: Way of the Sword said late last month when it was pointed out to them that their game'll be fighting a lot of competition when it arrives amid the September gamepocalypse. Having initially opted to stick with their planned September 25th release, Capcom have now decided to bring Onimusha forward to September 4th.
