  A Life is Strange 2 Demo is Now Available

  Try it before you maybe buy it.
  
  Once upon a time, there existed these things called "demos." Demos were free little pieces of a full game that allowed players, players like you, to try out a game before deciding whether or not to purchase the full game. These days, you may think about how many pre-release betas are in all actuality, renamed demos. You are probably usually right in thinking that.
  
  However, a real and proper demo was actually released today. It's...

  Catherine: Full Body Coming to Switch in July

  It's a story of puzzles, sheep, and infidelity.
  
  Starting right now, Nintendo Switch owners can add Catherine: Full Body to their eShop wishlists. Alternatively, they can pre-order the game from select retailers for a special sheep keychain. Whatever is decided upon, it would be wise to get those orders in fairly soon because Catherine: Full Body will be out on the Switch on July 7.
  
  Atlus has passed along a new trailer that should give Switch owners a little sample of what...

  Great game at a great price.

  World War Z is a co-op shooter developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive. It is inspired by the movie of the same name, which itself is...

  Epic Games Signs Publishing Deal with Remedy, Playdead, and gen DESIGN

  A step up from the typical moneyhatting approach.
  
  Epic Games announced today that they have entered into a new multiplatform publishing deal with three different developers. These developers include gen DESIGN (The Last Guardian), Playdead (Limbo, Inside), and Remedy Entertainment (Control, Alan Wake).
  
  These partnerships are a bit unlike other recent Epic deals. Instead of spending a load of money to pull nearly complete games off of other platforms, they will actually...

  EA Returning to Nintendo with Burnout Paradise for the Switch

  It's not new, but at least it's something.
  
  Electronic Arts has largely ignored Nintendo's platforms for a number of years now. Even when they released a handful of games on Nintendo platforms, they usually just released feature stripped versions of a few of their sports titles like FIFA. Well, it seems as though EA may slowly be coming back to Nintendo. It begins with a low risk testing of the waters.
  
  Later in 2020, EA will release Burnout Paradise Remastered on the Nintendo...

  Fast-Paced FPS 'Bright Memory' Leaves Early Access Today

  For those looking for a FPS and melee combo action game.
  
  The 1.0 release of Bright Memory is now available on Steam and GOG.com, having just left Early Access. This is a "high-octane, visually stunning FPS made by a solo developer at FYQD Studio." This is a bit of an odd release, so try to stick with me on this.
  
  Bright Memory's 1.0 release includes some fixes and new content for this "full" release of the game. However, this still isn't the "complete"...

  DOOM Eternal Has the Best Opening Weekend Ever

  When compared to other DOOM games, at least.
  
  Bethesda and id Software just announced that DOOM Eternal has broken franchise sales records. According to the teams, DOOM Eternal has broken franchise records for opening weekend sales. DOOM Eternal has apparently doubled the launch revenue of 2016's DOOM. They also note that DOOM Eternal was the best selling game on Steam for most of the week and has managed to pull in over 100,000 concurrent players at its peak.

  Valve Fully Expects Someone Will Mod VR Out of Half-Life: Alyx

  The question is: What will be lost in translation?
  
  Half-Life: Alyx was just released and with it has come a heap of praise from those with VR headsets along with a heap of complaints from those who are against the mere idea of virtual reality. If you are expecting Valve to release a official version of the game that strips out the VR aspect, you are most certainly barking up the wrong tree. Half-Life: Alyx was built around VR, not the other way around. To release a version of the game...

  Review: Persona 5 Royal

  A master class in improving upon what is already great.
  
  In September 2016, the original release of Persona 5 made its debut in Japan for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It eventually had its Western market debut in April 2017. The game was developed by P-Studio and published in North America by Atlus. Despite a few minor issues, it was largely regarded as a fantastic JRPG with excellent art, an intriguing cast of characters, enjoyable gameplay, and even a rad soundtrack. Persona...
