Boss Run

This week, we take a deep dive into Silent Hill: Townfall for our full review. Does Screen Burn and Konami’s first-person psychological horror deliver on its eerie Scottish atmosphere, or do its overt Silent Hill 2 callbacks and PC technical hiccups hold it back? We also share our first impressions of Remedy’s Control Resonant, looking at how its sprawling, open-world Manhattan sandbox and pulled-back camera reshape the combat flow.To wrap up, we explain why Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey remains an unmatched dungeon-crawling experience on the original Nintendo DS hardware, followed by a preview of October's massive release calendar—including Ace Combat 8, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Gears of War: E-Day, and Hellraiser: Revival!

This week, we take a hard look at Sony: what is going on with the PlayStation brand, and why are we in the middle of a collective existential crisis regarding its first-party direction, pricing, and hardware ecosystem? We also share hands-on impressions of Marvel's Wolverine now that it's in our hands, go over early impressions of the NYXI Hyperion 3 Ultra joy-con replacements on the Nintendo Switch 2, and discuss a pleasant surprise in the Hellraiser: Revival demo. Finally, we look ahead to late September’s horror-heavy drops with Silent Hill: Townfall and Remedy's Control Resonant!

This week, we unpack a massive week of gaming news and impressions! First, we dive into Onimusha: Way of the Sword—Capcom is officially on fire with an easy top 5 contender for the year. We look at the surprisingly lukewarm early review scores for Marvel's Wolverine, share impressions from the Crazy Taxi: World Tour Closed Network Test, and react to the official November 5th release date for the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake!Then, it's all about BlizzCon: an open-world StarCraft shooter, the official reveal of Diablo V and its Netflix series, World of Warcraft: Forever delivering true "Classic Plus," a surprise new Warcraft III campaign shadow-drop, and Diablo IV heading to Switch 2!

This week, we dive back into Metal Gear Solid 4—unpacking its war economy themes, heavy cutscene-to-gameplay ratio, how its DNA paved the way for MGSV and Death Stranding, and why the pacing helps make sense of the Shenmue divide. Then, we share hands-on impressions from the WARDOGS playtest (channeling Battlefield 6 meets Tarkov with its own mercenary economy), break down why Onimusha: Way of the Sword feels like peak Capcom action, and look at the Final Fantasy Resonance demo to see how its mobile gacha origins translate to console. To wrap up, a trip down memory lane unearthing the New 3DS XL and DSi XL to jump into Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey!

We kick off this week with our breakdown of the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look on Netflix and our favorite reveals from Gamescom 2026—including Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, Rainbow Six Tactics, and the wild alternate-history RPG Showa American Story. We also dive into Microsoft’s game-changing "Disc-to-Digital" initiative. Then, we get into hands-on beta impressions with The Duskbloods and the Modern Warfare 4 Switch 2 beta: it looks rough and controls strangely on stock hardware, but is there still fun to be had? Plus, handheld ergonomics with the NYXI Hyperion 3 Ultra and what’s brewing for the next Nintendo Direct!
