Footage of the cancelled Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link has appeared online, just over a year since development on the game ended.
Not so long ago, I found a stash of my old ZX Spectrum games in the attic. And rummaging through those tatty boxes - the old half-forgotten bargain bin bangers, the illicit passed-around-the-playground compilation tapes - it wasn't the games I found myself thinking about, it was the memories around them. My mind leapt back to evenings spent poring over stamp-sized magazine screenshots; the Friday night trips to Tescos and the exotic box art tempting me to part with my £2; the POKE codes and the dog-eared anti-piracy sheets; the wild classroom rumours of in-game secrets that would only reveal themselves when elaborate steps were performed. But they're not just my memories, of course; they'll be familiar to many of a certain place and time. And it's this sense of cultural nostalgia that Forbidden Solitaire captures so well.
ZA/UM Studio, the contentious developer at the heart of years of bitter public and legal disputes since the release of 2019's acclaimed Disco Elysium, is to lay off up to 32 staff members "across all departments", it's been announced.
I still vividly recall the moment in No More Heroes when my Wii Remote rang for the first time. Confusion turned to delight as I held the controller to my ear and, through its tiny tinny speaker, Sylvia began to speak, as if on the other end of the line. Suddenly, Travis Touchdown's world had broken free of the TV, and I was thrilled. Oxenfree developer Night School's brisk new horror game Unhinged, currently streaming on Netflix, is built from these kinds of fourth-wall-busting moments, helping turn an already breathless thriller into something fascinating.
IO Interactive once considered making 007 First Light more of an ensemble piece than it turned out to be. In other words, the game would have been less about James Bond on his own and more about him and a team of agents working together.

Since it was announced at the beginning of June, God of War Laufey has been receiving an unexpected amount of negative criticism. And a lot of the commentary about the game - of which we've only seen one trailer so far - revolves around the actress playing the eponymous character Laufey in it: Deborah Ann Woll, who reprises the role from God of War (2018).
