  22-02-2025 13:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  What makes a game like BioShock? A weird world gone bad? First-person, superpowered shooting? Creepy, slightly off-the-wall enemies? Other bits and bobs that actually came from System Shock first? Either way, I'm more than confident in calling Twisted Tower very, very BioShock-y after playing its new demo released just ahead of Steam Next Fest.Steam Next Fest is flooding the storefront with countless more demos for us to try out, and Twisted Tower in particular grabbed my attention because it wa

• That Captain America: Brave New World cameo changed several times, but it was always going to be that character

  22-02-2025 12:51 via gamesradar.com
  
  When it comes to the blueprint of a Marvel movie, there are two things it can't be without – cameos and post-credit scenes. Thankfully, we got both in the case of Captain America: Brave New World. Besides that head-scratching threat from Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) during the post-credit scene, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) also received a visit from his old pal, Bucky (Sebastian Stan), in the film's final act. It was a wonderful moment between two old friends before one battled a ragin

  With all the reported rewrites and reshoots during the production of Captain America: Brave New World, a number of characters were cut to give Sam Wilson a clear flight path onto screens. The Serpent Society were among the biggest casualties in the film, including WWE star Seth Rollins, who did not make it to the final cut. Another team that appeared in earlier drafts of the film, however, was The Illuminati, who, while only making it as far as script pages, have seemingly been linked to who Sam

  22-02-2025 11:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  PUBG creator Brendan Green's long-term goal is Project Artemis, an "Earth-scale" open-world sandbox. If you're a fan of No Man's Sky, that might sound a bit familiar.

Wait, no, it's definitely just because it's scary as hell.Aside from the obvious stuff like the rage-filled moon that's staring at you with bared teeth, the whole game just has this pervasive sense of strangeness that's just really uncanny and unsettling. A few years later, Twilight Princess would i
