Baby Steps from Ape Out Creators is Exactly the Sort of Irreverent Comedy Experience Gamers Need
By on - 0 Comments
The so-called 'walking simulator' is about to meet its parody moment, and it couldn't come at a better time. Baby Steps, from the creators of Ape Out and Getting Over It, is a physics-based adventure(?) title that simply tasks you with moving your 'life-got-the-better-of-me' avatar, Nate, by being in control of his legs. And while that might sound easy enough, as you can see from today's State of Play trailer, it's anything but.

Watch This - 17 Minutes of Glorious Race Action in Forza Motorsport
By on - 0 Comments
Turn 10 has definitely become the premiere racing game studio. And while all of its peers and some of the OG are nipping at its heels, you get the sense that Turn 10 is Max Verstappen with everyone else just playing catch up, including its own teammate in Playground (definitely Perez in this silly analogy).

By on - 0 Comments
Starfield is huge, and even though only 10% of the game's 1,000 planets to explore are not classed as 'Barren,' there's just something about landing on a desolate rock or mass and walking around. Very early on, the game lets you fully explore the Sol System - and that's what I did, checking out the harsh conditions on Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth.
