Quick Links As you progress inSchedule 1, you’ll gain experience points based on both your dealer’s and your own sales, but you won’t be gaining regular levels. In this game, it’s all about rank – essentially respect and how the city of Hyland Point sees you. If you aren’t a high rank, certain customers won’t give you the time of day. Rank doesn’t just unlock customers and new dealers, either. It’s key to obtaining all sorts of useful items and equipment for your business, and the boost in how much your character is respected can even get them into some exclusive locations, like the Warehouse....

Summary Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but aTransformersgame has been canceled and content from it has managed to leak online. In early January,Splash Damage announced that it had canceled Transformers: Reactivate to focus on other projects. Then,a day later, gameplay from the canceled title leaked online, showcasing driving and combat mechanics. Now, in a bit of déjà vu, another Transformers game that has been canceled has had elements shared online....

Summary Sonic and Knuckles have teamed up countless times since their Sonic 3 rivalry became a friendship inSonic & Knuckles. If you had told five-year-old me we’d be celebrating 30 years of that friendship with an official Sonic and Knuckles-themed Lamborghini though, I wouldn’t have believed you. That Lamborghini has teamed up withSegato give one of its supercars a Sonic and Knuckles makeover is for the 30th anniversary of the Sonic 3 successor is actually an assumption on my part....

What’s up gamers, welcome back to another- oh, this is an article, not a video. Well, if you’ve ever tried your hand at some video or audio content creation, then you may be familiar with how tricky and fiddly certain hardware and peripherals can be. Especially with wires and connectors. I swear I’m untangling things at least three times a day. When recording on the move, whether it be interviews, public interaction, or the need for going hands-free, lapel mics are the way to go, but often, these are some of the most annoying for wiring or setup....

Going purely by its title, I can confidently say I have seen two thirds ofMario Kart World. I saw Mario, and boy did I see a lot of Karts. Didn’t really see the World, though. In my hands-on preview of theNintendo Switch 2launch title, I played three races: a regular race in docked mode, another regular race in handheld mode, and a Knockout race. While the latter did showcase something of the scale of the game, being one long race across several connected race tracks, I still don’t feel like I’ve truly experienced what makes Mario Kart World different from other Mario Karts....

Summary Let’s not beat around the bush – we all love the absolute thirst trap designs of the Marvel Rivals characters. What’s more? The devs know this and are only doubling down on it. Don’t take my word for it – arecent updatemadeseveral characters' backsides bigger,Venom’s iconic cake is considered to be the unofficial mascotof the game, andNetEase even gave him a twerking emote. To cap this off, NetEase recently introduced Marvel’s biggest thirst trap to the game, Emma Frost....

Summary PlayStation has a long list of memorable heroes in its games. Just look at Astro Bot withits PlayStation hero cameos. However, if you look through the special bots, you’ll notice plenty of incredible villains, though not as many. Some of the greatest PlayStation villains rival those of other mediums, including comic books. Similarly, villains are better off alive and kicking, developing new stories rather than getting killed off, an issue both video games and comic book movies can have sometimes....

We are less than 24 hours away from the long-awaitedNintendo Switch 2Direct, a showcase that is expected to provide us with nearly an hour’s worth of new information on the console, including its release date, price, launch games, and much more. To our surprise, nothing major has leaked yet, although some patents and insiders are already speculating the console could support anunorthodox second-screen experienceas games likeMetroid Prime 4,Mario Kart 9, andPokémon Legends: Z-Aare expected to act as early titles for the system....

Summary Indiana Jones and The Great Circleappears to have been the hitXboxhoped it would be with more than four million people playing the adventure game, and that was before it came toPS5. So much so that it seems very likely we’re going to see more from MachineGames' take on Indiana Jones. Xbox boss Phil Spencerspoke with Varietythis week and was asked if there are plans to build on The Great Circle’s success (thanks,VGC)....

Summary Black Isle Studios was one of the eminent role-playing game developers throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s. The studio began by creating the hugely popular Fallout series and ended with the beloved Icewind Dale series and Baldur’s Gate 2: Dark Alliance. However, in between those two series was a standalone game that would eventually go on to reach cult classic status among the roleplaying faithful. That game wasPlanescape: Torment, an Infinity Engine-powered RPG set in the obscure Dungeons & Dragons setting of Planescape....

It’s funny to look back atStellar Crownand see how concerned I was about thePokemon TCGin 2025. With the card game catching up to the finalScarlet & Violet DLCand Pokemon Legends: Z-A nowhere in sight, it seemed like the TCG was going to have to spin its wheels for a while. Fortunately, TPC has succeeded in filling that gap in the most exciting way possible. The year kicked off with the highly-anticipated release ofPrismatic Evolutions, an Eeveelution-focused special collection that was so hyped it hadpeople fighting over it in Costco aisles....

I’ve shared an onsen with a giant egg, chased down fox spirits, been straddled by a pink box (not that kind), stumbled upon a profane ritual, and spoken with angry gods on an otherworldly shore. None of that is compulsory in Promise Mascot Agency, but if you’re going to play this quirky little game, you better play it right. Besides, the main content is just as strange. Legendary yakuza Michi is exiled to the rundown town of Kaso-Machi to run a mascot agency from within a grubby love hotel to help get his crime family out of debt after a deal gone bad....
