We seem to be in a new golden age of trading card games, because we have new ones popping up so often now. Between the many anime games under Bandai – like the recently announced Naruto Card Game and the Magic The Gathering collaborations like Marvel Super Heroes – there’s a card game for every fanbase if they look hard enough. Joining the TCG battle royale for gamers’ attention is a new Cyberpunk experience that piqued interest on Kickstarter called Neuroscape TCG. With Kickstarter fulfillments mostly done, the game is now set to release in stores globally some time later this year. Now, this is not to be confused with the aptly named Cyberpunk TCG in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, as it features very different gameplay – thus giving Cyberpunk fans some choices to bring home to the tabletop. In Neuroscape, players vie for superiority in a digital underground fight club with simulated head-to-head battlefields. The main goal is to bring your opponent down to zero health, and there ...

Silent Hill has been going through a sort of revitalization in recent years. After leaving it dormant for far too long, Konami is finally doing what I'd like to see with more legacy series – letting talented external studios take a shot with their vision of what the series could be while having creative freedom. While Bloober Team did a faithful (and fantastic) remake of Silent Hill 2, NeoBards and writer Ryukishi07 made something truly special with Silent Hill f, which was an original story that was true to the series' core tenets. Sure, there have been absolute misses like the laughably bad movie adaption and a spinoff game in The Short Message, but hey, at least ideas are being thrown out there. However, I'm happy to report we might just have another banger on our hands with the latest example of the franchise’s revival: Silent Hill: Townfall. I only saw a hands-off gameplay walkthrough this time, but now I know that it's tapping into the style of horror we know to b...

Last updated July 1, 2026 - We added new Hunty Zombie codes! Hunty Zombie is a Roblox experience that sees you go up against hordes of... well, zombies. You can play solo or in a group of up to 6 people, but for each zombie you take down, you'll be closer to leveling up and gaining mastery of special weapons, perks, and more. Complete quests, roll spins for perks, and customize your character to be the ultimate zombie-slaying machine. So, whether you're jumping into specific maps like the school or sewer, taking on a raid, or completing campaign mode, here are codes for Hunty Zombie that will give you a boost when tackling the undead. Working Hunty Zombie Codes (July 2026) You need to be Level 5 before you can use codes. But once you've hit that level, here are the codes you can redeem: CursedChef! - 50 Lucky Perk Spins, 50 Lucky Weapon Spins (NEW) Determination! - 50 Lucky Perk Spins, 50 Lucky Weapon Spins, 50 Traits (NEW) BossRush! - 50 Lucky Perk Spins, 50 Lucky Weapo...

Capcom has announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the upcoming action-adventure sequel for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, will now be released earlier than previously guided: it will be available on September 4 rather than September 25. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the first series entry in 20 years; Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams released for PS2 in 2006. IGN awarded it an 8.8 out of 10 review score. Way of the Sword, meanwhile, is set in Kyoto during the early Edo period, and we were quite impressed by it in our recent hands-on session at Summer Game Fest. A demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword is available now for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (on both Steam and the Epic Games Store). Those who play the demo (and, crucially, have save data on their hard drive) and then buy the game will receive a Kubi Akari charm in the full release. Onimusha: Way of the Sword looks to continue a big 2026 for Capcom, who enjoyed great reviews and huge sales numbers for Resident Ev...

If you’ve never played Magic: The Gathering (MTG), the prospect of getting into it can seem pretty daunting. This is a game, after all, with 30+ years of history. That’s more than three decades of cards and mechanics, worldbuilding and lore. If you’ve ever lived and breathed a live service video game you’ll know just how much energy and time it can take simply to keep up. Constant new releases and updates that drive an ever-evolving meta mean it can be tricky to be even a casual fan… let alone finding your feet as a completely new player. Magic: The Gathering definitely has many of the same challenges, but it also has more ways to interact with its cards and its history and its gameplay on your own terms. The fact that it’s mostly played as a physical game, for instance, means that it doesn’t necessarily matter what the best decks are, and what the most competitive players are doing. If you have a bad but fun deck and I have the same, we can still play and have a good time. Wizards of ...

Love and Deepspace fans are holding memorial services for Valko after Infold, the game’s developer, pulled the plug on the wolfy love interest mere days before his debut. Chinese LADS players are showing up to Infold's Shanghai HQ in droves, bringing with them flowers, candles, and tears as they mourn the loss of a character they were excited to romance come July 9. Videos of sobbing fans at the office building are taking social media by storm, but this isn’t the only way players are showing their disapproval of Infold’s choices — they’ve also signed a petition demanding the developer reverse their decision and bring Valko back. "When I first arrived at the Diezhi building and saw that wall, I couldn't help but cry. A girl shared her chocolate with me, another girl was herself choked up as she comforted me and held my hand." pic.twitter.com/1Y66FfAnhV — 𝒔𝒖𝒛𝒖 (@pinkcrispss) July 1, 2026 At the time of writing, the petition boasts over 78,000 verified signat...

After a long hiatus from Civilization 7 following my original review – after which I wasn't exactly in love with it – I decided to give it another go with the big 1.4 Test of Time update, and more specifically the 1.4.1 patch that came out in late June 2026. Firaxis has made pretty big changes across the board, including some much-needed quality-of-life improvements here. But I don't know if I agree with the overall philosophy of making it more like older, existing Civ games. In May, Take-Two' Strauss Zelnick told Game File that Civilization 7 had been a "bridge too far" for existing fans of the series. That's definitely the guiding star the Test of Time update was based on. And man, from my perspective, that was completely the wrong message to take from the negative feedback to Civ 7's launch. There's a quote I keep coming back to from No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray that goes, "Players are normally almost always right about problems … [b...
