One of the coolest games released on PC last year UFO 50 has been finally released on a console and it had a surprise launch today on the Nintendo Switch. 

UFO 50 is a collection of 50 8 bit style games made by multiple developers. The cool thing about the game is that you are essentially going through the history and gaming catalogue of an old fictional gaming studio playing the games they released from 1982-1989. These games arent just short 5 minute mini games as well. You have side scrollers, auto scrollers, rougelikes, RPGs, sports games, puzzle games and more. 

UFO 50 is available now on Nintendo Switch. 

There is more to a sporting event than simply what is happening on the court or field during a game, but sports video games don’t often portray what is happening off the court very well. 2K Sports is looking to fix that with NBA 2K26, adding several improvements to enhance the look and feel of its digital NBA action to bring the current-gen versions of the game more in line with its real-life counterpart.

Turning up the dial on authenticity, 2K26 utilizes a redesigned lighting engine to improve light intensity and color correction, as well as new floor shaders to bring arenas to life more vividly than before. Additionally, a new player shader to bring out the subtleties of each player’s skin, muscle definition, and even the stitching on their jerseys. Arena atmosphere has also been expanded, with new crowd character models, new arena elements unique to teams (like “The Wall” for the Clippers), and fan items like rally towels and LED wristbands for light shows.

The broadcast booth is getting a glow up as well, with NBA analyst Tim Legler joining the broadcast team of Kevin Harlan, Greg Anthony, Stan Van Gundy, and Shams Charania. The commentary team will now react more dynamically to what is happening on the court, with a shift in tone when a close game is coming down to the wire, for instance.

For full details, you check out the new Courtside Report here. NBA 2K26 launches September 5^th for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

RayNeo, makers of AR glasses, has teamed up with Yaber, makers of projectors, and BLUETTI, makers of portable power solutions to promote a combination that'll allow you to play games, watch movies, and listen to music outdoors for long periods of time.

First up, RayNeo has their new Air 3S AR glasses that sport micro-OLED displays and mimics a 201" screen at 4 meters. Just plug in a compatible device using a USB-C cable and you can experience a large screen display in private. The Air 3S also has some really nice built in speakers as well. I'm currently in the process of reviewing them and will have it up here soon. So far, I've really enjoyed them and they are priced very competitively.

If you're into sharing your gaming or media, Yaber has their portable T2 Plus GTV. This portable projector can be used for up to 2.5 hours with its built-in battery and has Google TV built in. That means you don't need a dongle and there's an HDMI input to plug things in like consoles. 

What if you want to watch or play for longer than 2.5 hours? That's where the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 portable power station comes in. With its 1,800W output and 1024Wh capacity, this little power station can keep the T2 Plus GTV going for another 10 hours or so. Combine it with a console, go ahead and play outdoors without being tied to an outlet.

I'll have reviews of the entire package here soon, but you can grab all three with up to a 10% discount.

Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainoids, the new action strategy game from XCOM creator Julian Gollop, got a couple of exciting multiplayer updates today. For starters, it will include a Friend Pass at launch, allowing players who own the game to invite a friend to join them for free via online co-op, no strings attached, with the full campaign and all PvP maps available to them. Additionally, cross-platform multiplayer will be supported across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox at launch, meaning you can team-up (or battle it out) with friends and not-friends across platforms.

If you’re just now hearing of Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainoids, it is a third-person combat, real-time action strategy game that can be played single-player, in co-op with a pal, or in PvP against other players in large-scale alien army battles. It will launch with a single-player campaign, which, if I understand correctly, can also be played in two-player co-op, in either split-screen or online play. The same goes for the PvP mode, which also lets you compete against others from your living room or in online matchmaking.

As we await further news of a release date, check out the new multiplayer overview trailer below:

Independent developer 3DClouds has announced that its open-wheel “sim-cade” racer, Formula Legends, is launching September 18^th for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $19.99. Its blend of simulation and arcade-style racing features tracks and cars spanning the history of open-wheel racing, billed as “approachable yet challenging”.

Formula Legends will include staples of other sim racers such as tire wear, fuel consumption, track evolution, a vehicle damage simulation, and dynamic weather. It also has a neat retro art style that gives it a bit of unique flavor compared to other sim racers.

Although we’ve still got several weeks before it releases, you can check out a free demo tomorrow on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch demo coming on August 14^th. Check out the new release date trailer before you go too:

Battlefield has been the talk of the gaming town since last week's big reveal event. Longtime fans are excited. Newcomers are curious. Seeing this level of excitement for Battlefield 6 has been a glorious thing. Luckily, for all excited parties, we don't have to wait long to get our first taste of the game, as the first week of an open beta will take place this weekend, August 9th through 10th across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. If you don't want to wait until the 9th, you can watch an hour of Twitch streams from partnered creators to unlock open beta access beginning August 7th. A second beta test will run August 14th through 17th.

Week one will include three maps: Siege of Cairo, Liberation Peak, and Iberian Offensive. It will also feature five game modes: Conquest, Closed Weapon Conquest (class-restricted weapons), Breakthrough, Domination, and King of the Hill. The second beta weekend will keep all of these maps and modes while adding in more of both.

The Battlefield 6 open beta does not require a purchase or pre-order to play, you simply have to download the open beta app from your preferred storefront. Participating will award cosmetic items including soldier skins, weapon skins, charms, and vehicle skins to use when the full game releases on October 10th.

After 4,228 people entered the Street Fighter 6 EVO tournament for EVO Vegas, your undisputed champion is MenaRD. He went straight through the winners bracket. We thought we were going to see Mickey upset Kakeru. Kakeru got sent to the losers finals, by MenaRD, the champion hit the EVO Japan Finals run back, not once, but twice. An absolutely insane finals. I think I lost my voice. 

Street Fighter 6 is so good. It's so fun to watch, and to watch it here, at EVO, in Vegas, for the first time ever, I may have a new addiction. Congratulations MenaRD, and watch out for Mickey. Call it a hunch. 

C. Viper just got her teaser trailer revealed at EVO, and we don't even have Sagat yet. (He appears on Monday). The Street Fighter 6 intro shows off her at a SiRN research facility, and then sending a Bison clone after you. Capcom then reminds you that you don't get her until Fall, which is pretty far away. After you watch that, make sure you get your first looks at the outfit 4 for Luke, Kimberly, A.K.I, Chun Li, Cammy, Manon, and Jamie. 

Arslan Ash just became a 6 time EVO champion. The Tekken 8 grand final started as a quick reset, as Atif climbed out of the losers bracket, and then quickly asserted himself. They both chose Anna Williams, much to the chagrin of the live crowd, and it proved deadly for Arslan. And after the reset, Arslan found the answer. Anna's in game sister, Nina Williams. It was on from there, and after a very wonderful effort, Arslan pulled it out. 

This was a runback from last year, so let's see if we can get some new challengers for this 2026! When asked who would win if we were to see an Arslan Atif III, Arslan didn't hesitate. Humbly, he responded, "It will be me."

After a thrilling battle with ET, and ET's valiant attempt after reset, the finals came down to a final final. In the end, it was Goichi (Kain) that overcame ET's Hotaru. The game has some pretty good numbers at 1,500 for it's first year. And now that Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is currently 40% off, you can go and try it yourself, if you think you can hang. 

Ken Masters will be added to the game today, as announced at EVO, and Joe won't be there until June. Check out the finals with City of the Wolves Below.
