🏌️‍♂️⛳️ Cursed To Golf PS5 Review 7/10 “A Charming 2D Arcade Golf Game, That Might Make You snap a few clubs” 🏌️‍♂️⛳️ @ChuhaiLabs #IndieGames #GameDev

Seeing the term ‘roguelike golf adventure’ when I read a preview for this game had me very intrigued, it’s not a combination of words I thought I would ever see, it also combines two things that cause grown adults to curse, break the objects use to play it and utter the words “that’s it, it’s a stupid game, why the hell did I ever start playing this?

Where the hell are my blood pressure tablets… OK, just one more try”

🦇🕷️🦹 Top Ten Superhero Games (That Don't Have Batman or Spider-Man in the Title ) 🦇🕷️🦹

With the decidedly iffy-looking Gotham Knights due for release in the coming weeks, we thought we'd take a look at some of the best games that the superhero genre has to offer. 

We intended to showcase a diverse offering of titles but ended up with four Batman games and six Spiderman games. So to challenge ourselves we decided to make it spicy. 

Not too spicy though, the original title of the article was "Top Ten Superhero Games That Don't Feature Batman or Spider-Man" but apparently Spider-Man is in everything even resembling a Marvel game and good Batman-free DC games simply don't exist.

So with all that said, here are our top ten Webhead and Caped Crusader Lite SuperHero games.

💥 No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Nintendo Switch Review 8/10 "Some Of The Best Bosses In Gaming" 💥 @PixelHunted

You can’t talk about No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle without discussing the first game. 

Suda51’s 2007 punk demo tape of a game was all unsanded edges, wonky controls, and enthusiastic but half-baked mechanics. 

All that was delivered was a healthy serving of passive aggression towards the player, forcing them to grind through intentionally tedious minigames to earn the right to fight a selection of ludicrous bosses.

This made it something of a surprise when No More Heroes was a monster hit on Wii. Three years later Desperate Struggle landed, with the franchise’s ‘difficult second album’ a smidge more conservative but way more polished.

Does it being ‘better’ sacrifice part of No More Heroes’ soul?

The debate has been raging since Desperate Struggle landed in 2010, with many fans still salty that the sequel dares to be… * gasp * f-fun?

📦 Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate | Press Box Unboxing 📦 @dyschronia_en @chronos_ser

Rich received a cool press box through the post for Dyschronia : Chronos Alternate so he decided to make an unboxing video to show you all the nice loot he got given :)

Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate takes place in the city of Astrum Close where the crime rate is only 0.001%. A collective mentoring system ensures that residents of the city remain calm and safe, eradicating any want to commit violent or illegal acts. 

Protagonist Hal Scion is a young investigator who has a special ability called "Memory Dive." 

The Memory Dive allows Hal to see into and alter the past, and he uses this ability to collect evidence in his investigation... 

When the founder of Astrum Close is found dead, Hal must take up the case in order to solve this theoretically impossible murder.
