The original Quickshot II, with its distinctive flight‑stick profile and signature red trigger, was a staple of 1980s and early 1990s gaming. From the Commodore 64 to the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, and Amiga, it became synonymous with arcade‑style action at home. For many players, it wasn’t just a controller — it was the controller.
In Sub-Species, players pilot a heavily armed submarine capable of full 360° rotation, facing threats from every direction. Missions send explorers deeper into contaminated zones filled with hostile creatures, collapsed structures, and remnants of forgotten expeditions. Along the way, players must balance:
⚔️ Combat – Fluid controls allow players to unleash mines, flares, and dodge bursts against alien swarms.
𧊠Navigation Puzzles – Tight caverns, unstable reactors, and collapsing ruins test precision and problem-solving.
⚙️ Resource Management – Survival depends on adapting strategies under pressure, conserving tools, and outlasting waves of enemies.

Renowned developer and publisher NCSOFT today announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, a global MMORPG set in the acclaimed Horizon universe, during Korea’s premiere game conference, G-Star 2025.
Developed in collaboration with Guerrilla (creators of Horizon and Killzone), a studio under Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), the new title expands the Horizon franchise into the MMORPG genre.
Set in the lands of the machine hunters known as the Deadlands, Horizon Steel Frontiers builds on the franchise’s signature hunting-action gameplay while introducing advanced MMORPG systems. Players can expect deeply customizable combat, extensive freedom, and large-scale battles designed to deliver a distinct Horizon experience to fans worldwide.
NCSOFT has launched the official Horizon Steel Frontiers brand website, featuring the debut trailer and developer interviews. The trailer showcases mechanical creatures, expansive environments, and massive multiplayer encounters unique to the game.
In a developer interview, Jan-Bart Van Beek, Studio Director and Art Director at Guerrilla, expressed his excitement about collaborating with NCSOFT to bring this new Horizon experience to life. Taekjin Kim, NC CEO & Chief Creative Officer, and Sunggu Lee, NC Executive Producer, also shared their inspiration and hopes for the project in a 10-minute gameplay and commentary video.
Further details about Horizon Steel Frontiers will be revealed gradually through the official website. The game is confirmed as a cross-platform release for mobile and PC, powered by PURPLE, NCSOFT’s proprietary game platform.
I came across an upcoming game release a few weeks ago that caught my eye, a Game Boy Color title named Infinity, originally created by Affinix Software back in 2001, the game was never fully released due to publishing issues at the time.
Incub8 Games then picked up the project during a Kickstarter back in 2021, and now over 20 years on, the game is completed and finally ready for a physical release (a digital version is also available).
It’s always a pleasure to get the opportunity to play games lost to the mists of time, and so this is definitely one for the GBC fans out there to get excited about! In the coming months we will be reviewing the full game, but until then, check out the information below, and get your pre-orders rocking and rolling, should it tickle your fancy.
Originally released in 1980 as a direct rival to the Atari 2600, the Intellivision carved out a name for itself with more realistic sports games, richer graphics, and its signature gold-and-black design. The fierce competition between the two consoles became known as the First Console War, a defining moment in gaming history.
Now, four and a half decades later, Atari is reviving that legacy with the Intellivision Sprint—a modern reimagining that blends retro charm with contemporary tech.
Ever wondered what happens after a giant monster levels a city in an epic battle? Someone’s got to clean up the mess—and that someone is you. Indie developer One More Time has just unveiled Kaiju Cleaner Simulator, a hilariously grotesque co-op experience for 1–4 players where the real heroes are the ones with mops, saws, and hazmat suits.
Kaiju Cleaner Simulator throws players into the boots of a professional post-battle cleanup team. Your mission? Restore devastated cities by dissecting kaiju corpses, extracting valuable organs, and scrubbing away toxic sludge. It’s a brutal, first-person affair filled with scalpels, saws, heavy machinery—and more than a few laughs.
Each mission is a blend of precision and chaos. You’ll need to carefully carve through massive monster anatomy, manage biological waste, and harvest upgrade-worthy materials. Think PowerWash Simulator meets Dead Space, with a dash of dark comedy.
