The game will be available on Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5.

Nintendo has released a new Kirby Air Riders Direct presented by Masahiro Sakurai, the game's director, revealing new details about the game which will be released on November 20 on Nintendo Switch 2.

Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit is obviously a game featuring the famous character created by James Nolf. Fans of this famous American YouTuber will undoubtedly be more receptive to the concept, which takes the form of a new episode in which the Angry Video Game Nerd has to play an (imaginary) NES game. Once the long introductory sequence is over, you are free to choose the level you want to play, each ending with a boss battle, all in a successful 8-bit aesthetic and game design designed to mimic what players in the 1980s sometimes had to face. Expect the full range of tricky situations to overcome, making the tribute as realistic as possible, but fortunately, you can opt for an Easy mode, which is much more accessible when you're just discovering the game and if you don't want to share the same frustration as the AVGN. Most reviews have been pretty positive so far, so if you're into that kind of mood, you know what to do.

Steam Next Fest is in full swing, so now is the perfect time to try out a bunch of demos, including MOTORSLICE, which you may not have heard of until now. While this trial version is quite demanding for our old rig, it's worth noting its rather daring mix of Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Mirror's Edge, and Shadow of the Colossus, which, although not yet perfectly tuned, shows real potential. The few combat sequences included have good feedback, and the choice to kill the main character and his enemies with a single well-placed blow adds a welcome tension, as in Ghostrunner. Since death isn't very punitive, as you resume the game just before the confrontation, there's no real frustration in the demo.
Note: The slowdowns are mainly due to Mirillis Action!, but our poor RTX 2080 Ti was put to the test despite playing at 1440p with a significantly reduced resolution scale with TSR.

Now that Pokemon Legends: Z-A is available on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, we took some time to capture the first 45 minutes of gameplay on Switch 2 in 4K. Here is the video.

The Crew Motorfest is about to welcome quite a few nice surprises for its third year of content, among which two new Playlists (one dedicated to BMW and another focused on Street Racing, much like a certain Need for Speed series), new customization tools, RC cars, a Track Forge system allowing players to create crazy (or realistic) circuits and even a new "playground" island. The game is also now Steam Deck verified and Ubisoft also reveled that The Crew 2's hybrid mode (allowing the community to keep playing the game even when the servers are down) is available as of now. We were invited to a big event in Lyon at Ivory Twoer's HQ and it was great fun to be able to try some of the new features, as well as see some familiar faces again. We have a bunch of images and a video to share if you're interested.

Due to a capture issue on Series X that we hope to resolve quickly, we unfortunately had to postpone our coverage of Electronic Arts' latest soccer game: EA SPORTS FC 26, which is now available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Better late than never, so here is some gameplay footage captured by the illustrious Driftwood, our leading expert on the genre.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is now available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 and also PC. You can watch the Nintendo Switch 2 version in this video showing the beginning of the game.

As you all know very well, the main appeal for Battlefield 6 will lie in its multiplayer component, but since Battlefield 6 is making an effort to include a single-player mode this time around, we decided to share a gameplay video of one of the early missions, which begins in an amphibious tank. We chose to capture the game on PlayStation 5 Pro as it is supposed to take advantage of PSSR.

Already available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is trying to offer an alternative to Mario Kart. Here is our PC video of the game.
