Will any Sonic racer...scratch that...any kart racer ever be as good as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed? It's been 13 years, and although you could argue Mario Kart has challenged its legacy, I still think Transformed is the best kart racer ever made. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds isn't attempting to chase that crown. Instead, it's doing its own thing, and will focus more on the Sonic universe, with post-launch content doing the heavy cameo lifting.

Although the mainline entries (and the remakes) are the ones that are hitting the top of sales charts for Capcom, there's also a ton of worthwhile spinoffs that came out and were lost to time.

As the hard-boiled Jack Pepper, you'll follow a conspiracy in a rat-ridden town, while taking down tons of enemies in the process. All of this is while using Roger Rabbit logic, on top of some expansive FPS movement mechanics. There's a reason this is on so many people's radar: It...

The Quest headset has been on a roll lately, landing some bigger games and working with some rather large IP. Batman: Arkham Shadow is a recent standout, bringing the DC legend to life in a way that feels authentic to Rocksteady's memorable Arkham series. Now, legendary developer Twisted Pixel is giving the Marvel universe a go with Deadpool VR, with a bit of help from actor, singer, dancer, and voice-over artist, Neil Patrick Harris.

As I flew into Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, I had no idea that Bandai Namco would announce a roguelike. Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree took folks by surprise, and they won a lot of fans over with the game's vibrant art style and colorful cast. On the one hand, Towa is yet another roguelike to add to the pile of the increasingly oversaturated genre.

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your ScreenRant account Custom image by Chris Carter As soon as I heard that Spine was going to be a Summer Game Fest, I had to play it. I'm drawn to action adventure games, especially ones that focus on style with cinematic homages to boot. Although it still doesn't have a release date, a game with the tagline of "this is gun fu" will be on a lot of people's radar by the time it actually comes out. I also spoke to several members of the art team over at...

At a behind-closed-doors session at Summer Game Fest (SGF), the publisher showed off a recorded demonstration of gameplay, which showcased the hospital-like area that Grace was stuck in during the kickoff trailer. Grace, completely unarmed (even with a melee weapon),...

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your ScreenRant account Custom image by Chris Carter Stealth games are really hard to get right. If they're too hectic, they may as well not even be labeled a stealth game. If they're too passive, players can easily get bored, especially if your aim is to capture a general audience. There's a reason so many of them fail to captivate people, but Thick As Thieves could be on to something special if they can deliver on what we saw at Summer Game Fest. "A PvPvE...
