As Nintendo celebrates 40 years of the Super Mario Bros. series, a couple of iconic developers want to see the popular plumber make it to his 100th anniversary. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Super Mario World director Takashi Tezuka discussed how the Nintendo mascot can live on for decades and decades to come in a recent book.VGC reported on and transcribed a new Nintendo Museum book focusing on Mario's 40th anniversary. In it, Miyamoto and Tezuka--alongside other developers--are asked about the plumber remaining a cultural icon in 2085. "One might think it would be a miracle if Mario was still here after 100 years, since we make things while not knowing when our players may get bored with them," Tezuka said.Tezuka, who also directed Super Mario Bros. 3 and produced Super Mario Bros. Wonder, noted how "different times bring different kinds of fun." The developer pointed out that what Mario is capable of doing in games today has changed a lot since the NES era.Continue Reading at GameSpot...

There are a great number of horror games available on Xbox Game Pass, Game Pass for PC, and Game Pass Ultimate, but if you want to play the best horror games on Game Pass, that list is a bit shorter. The elite few that make up this list represent the scariest, most engrossing, and sometimes simply grossest of the Game Pass horror games available as of 2024. Whether you're playing these in the fall before Halloween or coming back to the list months later to play them all, you can't go wrong with any of these scary games on Game Pass.Of course, if you don't have Game Pass, we also have a wider list of the best horror games, and if you have Game Pass but no appetite for scary games, you may prefer our list of the best games on Game Pass. For more on the best horror games on Xbox Game Pass, keep reading.If you're looking for a deal on Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, this is the best of them available right now. It gives you a membership that reflects the price it went for before two recent increases. Get three months of Game Pass for $45 DayZRelease Year: 2018 on PC, 2019 on XboxDeveloper: Bohemia InteractivePlayers: 1-60Scare Factor: 8The de facto leader in the busy subgenre of open-world survival games featuring zombies, DayZ has been dominating the scene for years now and remains a compelling and unflinching experience today. With a new expansion on the way, it's a great time to get into the game. Just know that it's not going to be easy. Expect to starve, freeze, or bleed to death early on as you find your footing with the game. Nothing comes easily in DayZ, which makes your minor victories--like sneaking out a back door as zombies bang on the front door--all the more riveting. See on Xbox Dead by DaylightRelease Year: 2016 on PC, 2017 on XboxDeveloper: Behaviour InteractivePlayers: 2-5Scare Factor: 7There are many asymmetrical horror games today, but they're all still chasing the 4v1 DBD in popularity. Behaviour's monster mash-up--or Spooky Fortnite, as I like to call it--features dozens of bad guys, including many from licensed properties like Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween, and has built up a passionate (albeit sometimes too passionate) community for itself, making it the biggest game in its field. There's no telling what, if anything, will knock DBD off its pedestal, which is owed in part to the game's high skill ceiling, not just its museum of famous villains. See on Xbox The Evil Within 2Release Year: 2017Developer: Tango GameworksPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 8The Evil Within felt like a strange but charming amalgam of eclectic horror ideas all mashed into one game. The Evil Within 2 hones in on its main ideas a bit more, though never loses its touch of unpredictable madness. With visually striking boss battles, some gameplay inspirations from The Last of Us, and a particular recurring ghost encounter that shook me to my core, The Evil Within 2 is the better, more refined game in a series I hope we see again someday. See on Xbox InsideRelease Year: 2016Developer: PlaydeadPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 7Both of Playdead's incredibly moody puzzle-platformers are on Game Pass, and you'd not be wrong to play Limbo, too, but if you can make time for just one, Inside is the stronger pick. With a story I dare not spoil, nor one I could easily explain anyway, Inside is tense, atmospheric, and mechanically tight to the point of virtual perfection. Making your way through its nightmarish world is an unforgettable experience, and you should play it with headphones--though that probably goes for every game on this list, to be fair. The whole game is great, but the ending will have you jumping into YouTube breakdowns and Reddit discussions in record time. See on Xbox The Walking Dead (Telltale series)Release Year: 2012Developer: TelltalePlayers: 1Scare Factor: 5The entire Telltale series is on Game Pass, which actually makes me jealous of folks who haven't played them before. Though the series' game engine shows its age--it did even when these four games were new--the story remains compelling and single-handedly launched Telltale into a stratosphere of popularity it had never achieved earlier with more puzzle-centric games like Back to the Future and Jurassic Park. The Walking Dead games ignore most puzzle opportunities in favor of mainlining story beats and character development, and it proved to be a winning formula. See on Xbox World War ZRelease Year: 2019Developer: Saber InteractivePlayers: 1-4 in co-op, 2-8 in PvPScare Factor: 6Though Left 4 Dead isn't on Game Pass, one of its best imitators is. World War Z comes from Saber Interactive and is still receiving updates as recently as a few weeks ago at the time of this article's publishing. Played in four-player co-op, with first- and third-person options, WWZ is a horde shooter obviously modeled after Valve's GOAT. It doesn't quite reach the same heights, but with so many updates piling on the cool new campaigns, characters, and game modes, the game is also a much fuller experience than L4D, which was a less-is-more kind of game. That worked there, but WWZ's approach works too, making it an excellent co-op zombie shooter. See on Xbox Amnesia: The BunkerRelease Year: 2023Developer: Frictional GamesPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 9The most recent Amnesia game of the four is also the scariest. In it, you play a World War I soldier left stranded in a military bunker after the exits have been covered in rubble. You'll need to find your way out through a series of dimly lit puzzles all while…something stalks the halls. The Bunker uses a dynamic enemy AI system akin to Alien: Isolation in which the monster reacts to your behavior, following your sound or falling for your distractions. The semi-unscripted nature of the beast makes escaping it the best Amnesia game to date, and subsequent playthroughs go a step further by changing the locations of quest items, giving you a fresh nightmare each time you restart the game. See on Xbox Dead SpaceRelease Year: 2023Developer: EA MotivePlayers: 1Scare Factor: 8The Xbox 360 and PS3 era was especially quiet for horror games, but Dead Space would've been a hit in any era. Though the original is a part of Game Pass Ultimate via EA Play, the 2023 remake is also included and makes for a better starting point for new players. The gorgeous remake from EA Motive recaptures so much of the original game's excellence, but builds on top of it with more missions, added story content, and a greater sense of dread. Dead Space is an all-time great horror game, and if you've played nothing on this list, it may be your best bet if you can only play one of them. See on Xbox Resident Evil 2Release Year: 2019Developer: CapcomPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 7The remake of a classic survival-horror game is now itself a classic survival-horror game. That's not always how that turns out, so it's nice that it did here. The Resident Evil 2 remake is a masterful entry in the long-running franchise--some might argue it's the best Resident Evil game of them all. The game is largely faithful to the original, but where it differs, it's usually for the better, like some terrifying new sequences featuring instantly memorable monsters we'll merely tease in this space. See on Xbox Still Wakes The DeepRelease Year: 2024Developer: The Chinese RoomPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 6Some stories on this list are quite complicated. Others aren't. Still Wakes The Deep falls into the latter camp, and that's part of its appeal. In a short sentence, the game is John Carpenter's The Thing, but set on an oil rig. The creature feature also has a bit of Alien DNA in it, given how the blue-collar workers are picked off by an incomprehensible threat one by one. There is an added narrative layer to the game that we'll let you discover on your own, but really you could go into it with the above premise in mind and take from it nearly everything you're meant to. And at about 5-7 hours long, it makes for a great Halloween all-nighter. See on Xbox Dead Island 2Release Year: 2023Developer: Dambuster StudiosPlayers: 1-3Scare Factor: 5Let's get the obvious joke out of the way: Yes, Dead Island 2 is set in Los Angeles, which is famously not an island. But set aside that funny disconnect between name and setting and you'll discover a fun first-person zombie co-op game that has a GTA-like view of Hollywood. The satirical zombie-slaying RPG lets up to three players join together and take on dozens of missions across several large hubs around the city. And as comical as the game often is, it's also quite tense, with combat that levels alongside your character very well. You'll rarely feel overpowered in this sunny metropolis swarming with the undead, so bring a friend or two. See on Xbox State of Decay 2Release Year: 2018Developer: Undead labsPlayers: 1-4Scare Factor: 7If DayZ is the global leader in the open-world-zombie-survival-sim subgenre, State of Decay 2 is the more approachable sibling. While it doesn't offer as many systems to contend with, that makes it easier to take control of, without exactly being easy itself. Several difficulty options allow for increased customization, with the hardest of them actually exceeding DayZ in its willingness to dole out punishment. State of Decay 2 is actually my favorite zombie game ever, and I've played nearly all of them. Catch up with this classic before State of Decay 3 launches and hopefully raises the bar higher. See on Xbox Wolfenstein: The Old BloodRelease Year: 2015Developer: MachineGamesPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 4For a while, Bethesda was experimenting with standalone chapters of its most popular games that went in weird directions. The Old Blood is one of those, as it reimagines what is typically a Nazi-killing shooter series in a zombie framework. It turns out that works just fine, as it keeps intact the game's excellent, fast-paced first-person combat and adds a touch of mysticism, turning the aggressively violent historical fiction series into a horror story. It would've been very easy for this game never to become a reality, but I'm glad we don't exist in that timeline. See on Xbox The QuarryRelease Year: 2022Developer: SupermassivePlayers: 1, with up to 7 more influencing decisionsScare Factor: 6Supermassive launched itself into a new tier as a studio to watch with 2015's Until Dawn, and since then, it's been chasing that high with a half-dozen and counting other horror games. The Quarry comes closest to that summit, with a supernatural slasher filled to the brim with spooky vibes, fun scenarios, and gorgeous visuals. It's actually the team's best-looking game to date, perfectly capturing the counselors-by-campfire mood of things like Friday The 13th and Sleepaway Camp with animation tech that outperforms the team's other games like The Dark Pictures Anthology and The Casting of Frank Stone. It also stars I Saw The TV Glow's Justice Smith in a role that predates his extraordinary performance in 2024's best horror movie. See on Xbox A Plague Tale: RequiemRelease Year: 2023Developer: Asobo StudioPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 3; 8 if you're afraid of ratsIf you played Plague Tale: Innocence, you already have a pretty solid grasp on what to expect out of Requiem, though the sequel is far more expansive in its cast of characters, hallucinatory displays of Hugo's disease, and the destruction left in Amicia and Hugo's wake. The short version for newbies, though, is that it's a stealthy adventure game taking place during the Black Plague in France. The Plague would be enough of a problem but in the case of poor Hugo de Rune, he's got a far more sinister affliction infecting his blood that both weakens him and gives him supernatural powers including, unfortunately, summoning hordes of hungry Plague rats to his location. His big sister, and actual protagonist Amicia, has done a good job of keeping Hugo's power dormant, but that all changes when they find themselves on the radar of a pagan cult. That's a severe shorthand for a story out to cause all sorts of emotional and property damage. That is, when Amicia's not creeping around ruining French scumbags with a slingshot. See on Xbox The Casting of Frank StoneRelease Year: 2024Developer: Supermassive GamesPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 6Every Dead by Daylight fan loves horror on some level, but not every horror fan enjoys online multiplayer. That makes The Casting of Frank Stone a godsend for the folks who just want to hang out in an ever-expansive universe without getting merked by Clown from Slipknot 26 times an hour. Instead, it's Supermassive doing what it does best--a decision-based narrative game populated with hapless cannon fodder for a bloodthirsty menace, and your job is to make the right decisions that will keep them alive. The staunch Dead by Daylight fans will just get a little more out of the deal, with the game’s narrative filling in a few big gaps in the overarching lore, particularly in justifying the original game's specific 4v1 setup. See on Xbox Ghostwire: TokyoRelease Year: 2022Developer: Tango GameworksPlayers: 1Scare Factor: It's spoooookyIt's always a treat whenever Japanese concepts of arcane horror show up in a game, but there's no real equivalent to how well Tango Gameworks marries it with modern day in Ghostwire: Tokyo. As a mysterious fog rolls into the middle of Tokyo one night, the entire population evaporates aside from our hero, Akito. And that's only because he's possessed by a spirit already. Everyone else, however, has been replaced by all manner of forgotten cryptids, yokai, and good old-fashioned ghosts. Being the only living being in the city, Akito is tasked with hunting down an elusive man in a Hannya mask who's responsible for summoning all these things to Tokyo. Akito does this with a combat style that feels like playing a first-person Doctor Strange anime. It's an oddball gameplay loop, but it's also chock full of creepiness, effective ghost stories, and supernatural curiosities. It's one of the most unique titles of recent memory. See on Xbox CarrionRelease Year: 2020Developer: Phobia Game StudioPlayers: 1Scare Factor: 7How many times have you been sitting around watching John Carpenter's The Thing, seeing an unholy abomination of tentacles and abortive genetic material lay waste to the works of mankind, sighed and said, "That should be me, dammit." Welp, for whichever sickos that just described, there's a game for that. Carrion puts you in the--well, not shoes, that's for damn sure--but in control of a massive tentacled monster that escapes from an underground lab. Your job is simply to find a way out of this place. Oh, and mercilessly slaughter and eviscerate any screaming scientists you might find along the way. Occasionally, you can even infect and possess them, manipulating them to pull switches and use guns for you. Have we mentioned this thing slaughters and eviscerates a lot of people in this game?

Between the original Matrix and its first sequel, The Matrix Reloaded, Lana and Lilly Wachowski had the ambitious idea to tie in the story to a video game as well. The project that eventually came out of that was Enter the Matrix, which was published by Atari. But if the Wachowskis had their way, that game would have reportedly been made by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima.Konami's former VP of licensing, Christopher Bergstresser, recently shared an account of Kojima's meeting with the Wachowskis while speaking with Time Extension. According to Bergstresser, the biggest reason it didn't happen was because of Konami executive Kasumi Kitaue, who shot down the idea immediately."The Wachowskis were big fans of Kojima," related Bergstresser. "So Kazumi Kitaue, Kojima, Aki Saito (who still works with Kojima), and I were at the Konami HQ, and we got a call from the Wachowskis, who wanted to come in and meet with Kojima. So they did! The two of them came in with their concept artist, and effectively they said to Kojima, 'We really want you to do the Matrix game. Can you do that?' Aki translated this into Japanese for Mr. Kitaue, and Kitaue just looked at them and told them plainly, 'No.' We did still get to enjoy the Matrix Japanese premiere and afterparty, though."Continue Reading at GameSpot...

It's been nearly 20 years since Rockstar Games' Bully came out, and while there's no word of a sequel, the next best thing may have dropped: a mod that introduces online multiplayer to the high school action sim.As reported by IGN, a group of modders has finally revealed Bully Online. Led by YouTuber, developer, and "massive Bully fan," SWEGTA, the project has been a long time coming, but is inching ever closer to an early-access launch in December 2025 for those who support the team on Ko-Fi. At the time of this writing, it appears the developers have received at least 76 Ko-Fis.What is Bully Online, though? According to the YouTube video's description, the mod "allows you and your friends to play minigames, role-play, compete in racing, fend off against NPCs, and much more." SWEGTA described it in greater detail in the nearly nine-minute video below, stating that it's a "mix between minigames, free-roaming, and role-playing." There's a "fully fleshed-out inventory system," letting you earn money in-game to spend on Bully goodies from items to housing to vehicles. It sounds like the online modes of other Rockstar games, such as GTA Online and RDR Online.Continue Reading at GameSpot...

Brick Like This! A Lego Party Game $20 See at Amazon For the second year in a row, it's looking like an official Lego tabletop game is going to be one of the most popular board/card games during the holiday season. Last year it was Monkey Palace, a fun strategy board game for up to four players. This year it's Brick Like This, a collaborative party game for up to eight players. Brick Like This: A Lego Party Game--not to be confused with Lego Party, the video game--is available now for only $20 at Amazon and other major retailers. Brick Like This and Monkey Palace were designed by Dotted Games, a studio under the Asmodee umbrella dedicated to Lego board games. Based on the sustained success of Monkey Palace and how well Brick Like This appears to be performing out of gate, it seems likely we'll be talking about Dotted Games' third Lego board game this time next year. Brick Like This! A Lego Party Game $20 Brick Like This supports 2-8 players and is recommended for adults, teenagers, and kids ages 7 and up. It's a fast-paced game that's dynamically designed to offer a different experience each time you play.Players are split into teams of two in a race to see who can build miniature Lego models the fastest. One player builds the model based on instructions communicated by their partner. There are 92 shape cards and 48 total Lego pieces. Models have a minimum of five bricks and a maximum of eight bricks. You're awarded more points by opting for models with more pieces--though the instructor won't know what the model actually looks like until they flip the card over.In addition to the regular shape cards, there are 20 challenge cards that introduce restrictions for builders and instructors, such as building the model with your eyes closed or with one hand and limiting the types of hints you can provide as the instructor.When a team completes the model, they flip the hourglass, which starts a 30-second countdown to the end of the round. After six rounds, teams tally their scores and declare a winner. Each game takes around 15 minutes total. See at Amazon Lego Recreate Activity Cards $10-$12 Each If you're buying Brick Like This to play with your kids or as a gift, there's another newly released Lego experience that could make for a great stocking stuffer this holiday.One of Lego's main book publishing partners, Ameet Verlag, created a series of activity kits for kids ages 6 and up. Dubbed Lego Recreate Activity Cards, each themed kit comes with at least 30 cards and 25 Lego pieces. Each card tasks you with completing a challenge using the bricks in the box. Lego Recreate Activity Cards are themed around broad topics like tech, space, animals, and magic as well Lego City and Ninjago. Most of the kits are priced at $10.AnimalsCastleCool SchoolMagicNatureOceanSpaceTechLego City: No LimitsLego Ninjago: Ninja Adventures See at Amazon Monkey Palace: A Lego Board Game $39.25 (was $42) If you haven't played the studio's debut game Monkey Palace, I'd highly recommend for family game nights if you like strategy and puzzle games. Two to four players take turns building staircases and decorating the makeshift palace. While the project is a collaborative effort, you're in competition with your fellow builders for Banana Points. Monkey Palace is recommended for players ages 10 and up. There's more "traditional" Lego building involved with this one, as it comes with 231 Lego pieces and an official Lego baseplate. Each game takes around 45 minutes, and no two games will be the same. Adding to the replay value is the inclusion of two double-sided maps, which are placed on the baseplate to alter the starting foundation.

Doom could be headed to your board-game collection if a new Kickstarter is funded. Just launched on Kickstarter, Doom the Arena Board Game takes one man's war on hell into a full-scale tabletop warzone. Joining Vampire Survivors as another video game-turned-board game, Doom also includes a host of hellish minitatures, but also comes in two editions, as Doom: The Dark Ages will also be available with its own assortment of distinct miniatures.Officially licensed by id Software and Bethesda, and designed in partnership with Resurrectionist Games, the campaign is developed and published by Modiphius. It's aiming for a $133,000 goal and has already raised around $50,000 at press time."Designed to bring the DOOM experience to the tabletop, you and your friends will wield weapons and abilities pulled directly from the video games, and command a legion of iconic characters and creatures brought to life as detailed, high-quality PVC miniatures," the campaign reads. "Doom the Arena Board Game offers strategic depth through engaging, brutal gameplay. Like heavy metal chess, it's simple to learn, yet hard to master, with each piece commanding a unique style of movement and attack that demands clever tactical positioning to achieve victory."Continue Reading at GameSpot...

Loulan: The Cursed Sand has been officially revealed, and this action-RPG will see players take control of a skeletal warrior--who goes by the on-the-nose name of Cursed Sand--on a quest to rescue his beloved princess. Thanks to magical sand powers, the resurrected warrior stands a fighting chance against the monsters standing between him and the princess as he travels along the ancient Silk Road. In a PS Blog post, game director Hongwen Huai revealed that the design of Cursed Sand is inspired by the Loulan mummies and the desert sand of China's western regions. This resulted in developer ChillyRoom creating a "dual-form" protagonist, who wraps himself in golden sand to take on a human-like appearance. When he uses his powers, he shifts from Sand Form to Bone Form, which Huai described as a powerful stance built for one-against-many combat."On his journey, he will face powerful factions ranging from the Loulan royal family--who embody the power of the sun--to the frost-bound spiders of the Western Regions," Huai said. "We've reimagined iconic landscapes of the western region through a fantastical lens, from vast deserts to flowing rivers of sand."Continue Reading at GameSpot...

In April 2022, developer and publisher Sharkmob officially launched Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt, a battle royale set in White Wolf Publishing's World of Darkness. Players took control of vampires in Prague as they joined rival sects and battled each other with their supernatural abilities and conventional weapons. However, new updates for the game ceased in 2023, and now Bloodhunt's servers are going offline in 2026.Sharkmob announced the news on its site that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt will have its final death on April 28, 2026.

Aside from its massive success with Steam, Valve has also benefited from the longevity of Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike 2, which fueled massive in-game marketplaces. However, Dean Hall--the creator of DayZ and Icarus--believes that Valve should be taken to task for using gambling mechanics like loot boxes to monetize Counter-Strike 2."It's something I think Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism about," Hall told Eurogamer. "I'm honestly disgusted with gambling mechanics in video games at all--they have absolutely no place. My challenge to game developers is that if they think these things are not a problem, they make the data available to universities who are crying out to study this stuff."Loot boxes have largely fallen out of favor in the industry, especially after many attempts to legislate or ban them entirely. In Counter-Strike 2, loot boxes can contain desirable objects like weapon or armor skins that can be traded or resold for real money. But there is often no guarantee that the loot boxes contain the items players want. If players are spending real money to purchase loot boxes over and over again to find what they're looking for, it could be considered a form of gambling.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
