It really does look like the T2 game we all dreamed about in the '90s (although the arcade lightgun game was fun).

Agreed. Good potential with this T2 game and appeared suddenly.

Last year, EA Sports treated us to the return of College Football for the first time since the Xbox 360 era, and now the company has teased that it's doing the same thing with College Basketball - although details are yet to be revealed.

The company caused a stir after posting an image of an EA Sports-branded basketball on social media with the caption "bring the madness, let's run it back."

This reveal feels particularly interesting because EA hasn't made a basketball game since NBA Live 19, meaning they're essentially starting from scratch with this project - a tough ask when NBA 2K is a formidable competitor.

We'll have to wait and see what comes of this, but we're definitely intrigued to see what EA Sports ends up delivering with College Basketball 25 (or whatever it ends up being called) when it launches presumably later this year. Stay tuned!

A college NCAA basketball game is something I don't remember seeing in awhile. I guess it would include March Madness and the Final Four as official contests.

Does the PS5 version have an English/USA release yet, even if it's digital?

Yeah, it’s on the US store for $20.

For that Wonderboy game, with the girl as the star player, they could've called it Wondergirl: Asha in Monsterland.

Wonderboy 3 and 1 are still my favorites, but WB2 on SMS is still very good.

The Wonder Boy III remake from a few years ago was pretty fun. I mostly played with the SMS graphics for nostalgia, but the new artwork from Lizard Cube looks pretty nice.

Agreed, Wonderboy III Dragon's Trap remake was great. It was the original game, just with the ability to switch to modern graphics on PS4. The bird was always a favorite character, but the weakest.

Monsterboy is a great looking game, but a little tricky to get through. I'll try to finish it eventually. Finally made some progress. It's way more of a puzzle game than anything. Every section seems to require puzzle solving.

Here's a review of Wonderboy Collection PS4. I don't remember hearing about this. I have all the games already though but this is nice.

Hell is Us dungeon gameplay. I thought someone made a Hell is Us thread, but can't find it in advanced search at all.

I was initially interested, but now I'm on the fence. It has potential. Those enemies remind me too much of Death Stranding's blob enemies.




EDIT:
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound looks really good. Giving Shinobi Art of a run for its money in the same exact month of August 2025. This available now, and Shinobi demo now available too.

Remedy game development status:

-Control 2 development is on track towards meeting its next milestones - focus is now on gameplay, environments, and missions

-The Max Payne 1 & 2 remake project continues its progress and remains in full production

-Control lifetime sales reached 5+ million

-FBC: Firebreak launch succeeded technically but commercially were unsatisfied with the launch-phase consumer sales

No surprise about FBC. A game literally nobody was asking for.

Control PS5 I got for 9.99 when it went on sale. Nice graphics and clever concept. Tough game though early on.

Hela game trailer about a mouse that can swing on vines and land on Moose, while trekking through the forest. Looks interesting.

I get Moss vibes from this.

Agreed. this seems less linear and more open, but also with Mice with special abilities.

Firefighting Simulator: Ignite - Launch Trailer | PS5 Games

This is a sequel to Firefighters The Squad also on PS5 published by Astragon. This was developed by Weltenbauer, same team that made Construction Simulator Expanded for PS5.

Really nice graphics here using Unreal 5 specific for PS5. This is a true example of objects that very smoothly appear far away and as you get closer, very smoothly get closer without any noticeable morphing that plagues so many video games using older technology. Almost zero pop in. The game looks amazing for a Firefi8ghting game too.

A fun game believe it or not. You can play in 3rd or 1st person view.
Lots of tools you can use from bar wedges (Halligans), axes, foam or water spray, extinguishers, setting up the red attack hoses, the yellow supply to hydrant hoses, driving the truck (if you want), the firehouse, some exploration, etc.
Fully playable offline or online with 4 players.
