Square Enix’s Dragon Quest Tact for iOS and Android is a tactical RPG based on the Dragon Quest series for mobile platforms. It has turn based combat and encounters with enemies from the series on a grid based map. While a closed beta already took place, the company announced a release window for Japan with pre-registrations now live. A localisation has still not been announced for those waiting for an English release. I don’t expect a localisation to be revealed until the Japanese version is out for a good amount

The 1939 classic Gone With the Wind has been removed from HBO Max following an op-ed from 12 Years a Slave writer John Ridley who said it "romanticizes the horrors of slavery." Ridley said in his opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times that Gone With the Wind "glorifies the antebellum south. It is a film that, when it is not ignoring the horrors of slavery, pauses only to perpetuate some of the most painful stereotypes of people of color." Gone With the Wind--which takes place on a plantation in

Kao the Kangaroo, a PS2-era mascot platformer series, is making a comeback. The series, which has been dormant since 2005's Kao: Mystery of Volcano, is returning for a new adventure. The games, which were 3D platformers released in the early 2000s, might not be the most fondly-remembered titles of the time, but with 3D platformers being much less common these days there's perhaps reason for people to be nostalgic for Kao. The game has been announced on Steam, and while details are thin, this confirms that the game will come

Video game retailer GameStop has announced earnings for its first quarter ended May 2, and as expected, it was a tough period for the company. In total GameStop posted a loss of $165.7 million. For comparison, during the same quarter last year, GameStop posted a profit of $6.8 million. The poor results are due in part to the COVID-19 crisis. GameStop shut down all of its 3,526 stores in the United States; about 65 percent of these stores offered curbside pickup for orders. Internationally, Australia's GameStop-owned EB Games was a

It’s been more than 26 years since Revolution Software launched their landmark adventure game Beneath a Steel Sky on PC, and now it appears its long-awaited sequel is finally nearing launch. It’s titled Beyond a Steel Sky, and funnily enough, it began life as a failed stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign for Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse ($4.99) back in 2012. Although they didn’t quite hit the stretch goal amount, Revolution was really touched by the enthusiasm from the fans towards the idea of a sequel to their
