If you were to draw up a blueprint of the ideal video game sequel, it would be a schematic of Rogue Legacy 2. The latest roguelite dungeon crawler from developer Cellar Door Games retains everything that was captivating about the 2015 original while improving upon it with some fantastic new additions. If you played the first game, you’ll notice there’s an immediate familiarity to Rogue Legacy 2’s crunchy combat and satisfying gameplay loop, yet it doesn’t take long for new wrinkles to appear that significantly alter each run through its ever-shifting world.
The basic premise of Rogue Legacy 2 is identical to that of the first game. You play as a valiant adventurer who’s sent to explore the ruins of a mysterious castle. Your ultimate goal is to find and defeat six unique bosses in order to unlock an imposing door that leads to the final area. As you gallivant across Rogue Legacy 2’s six varied and increasingly treacherous biomes, you’ll accrue golden coins b…
In its recent past, the Ace Attorney series has moved away from using mysticism and more fantastical elements in its plot. That all changes with Spirit of Justice, in which you’ll find yourself questioning just how grounded the roots of series’ legend and myth are. Sporting a cast of familiar faces and a handful of compelling new ones, Spirit of Justice may be the most involved Phoenix Wright title in recent years, with complex murder trials that culminate in you feeling both smart and relieved. It’s refreshing to see the series go full-supernatural this time around and step up its difficulty, a criticism of the last game. There are a few moments where the tension and drama lag thanks to some vapid court antics, but this is small potatoes compared to the beautifully crafted web of intrigue blanketing the rest of the experience.
Spirit of Justice opens with Phoenix on vacation in Khura’in, an eccentric country without separation of church and state. Here, guilty verdi…

Peter Molyneux, the famed video game designer known for his work on the Fable series and making bold claims about his projects, has begun to tease his next game.
Speaking to GameReactor, Molyneux said his next game has a mechanic that has “never been seen in a game before.”
“I feel like we are exploiting that mechanic in a world and an environment which may be familiar to people. And because it is in a familiar environment, it’ll be a lot fresher,” Molyneux said. “And a lot of this is very mystical because I’m trying to avoid to tell you what it’s like. But it’s going to be a lot more like a kind of Fable, Black and White, Dungeon Keeper kind of experience.”
Molyneux admitted that, for past game announcements or teases, he would go into more specifics and tell everyone why he believed his next game would be “the most brilliant game in the world.” But for his next title with his independent studio 22cans, Molyneux wants to avoid doing that people people might get “v…

British and Irish iGaming behemoth Flutter Entertainment has announced that its decision to temporarily pull out of the newly-regulated market of the Netherlands could cost it up to £10 million ($11.6 million) this year.
The London-listed firm included the revelation in a third-quarter trading update before detailing that this expense could eventually rise to as high as £40 million ($46.3 million) for 2022 even if the country’s Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) regulator grants it a license by the end of next year. The company detailed that it voluntarily suspended its Dutch operations from October 1 after the small nation instituted a new licensing regime that has so far attracted a group of ten rival operators.
Positive postulation:
Previously known as Paddy Power Betfair until undergoing a name-change in early-2020, Flutter Entertainment is responsible for a slew of online casino and sportsbetting domains including Betfair.com, PaddyPower.com and PokerStars.com. The…
In Japan and legislation is set to take effect from Monday that will lay out the basic rules governing the nation’s planned trio of integrated casino resorts as well as the specific duties and responsibilities of the new Casino Management Board regulator.
According to a report from GGRAsia, the Integrated Resorts Implementation Act was ratified in the summer of 2018 and is due to allow three disparate Japanese jurisdictions to host Las Vegas-style developments complete with casinos. The source detailed that these coming gambling-friendly venues are to be run under 40-year licenses and permitted to offer a large range of currently banned games including two types of baccarat and eight derivations of poker.
Subsequent schedule:
The enactment of the Integrated Resorts Implementation Act from July 19 reportedly comes after the government of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga completed a public consultation period some ten weeks ago and will allow communities hopi…
The Nintendo Switch is about to have a new Legend of Zelda game on it, though it’s a familiar one for fans of the franchise: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD releases this Friday, July 16, on Switch. An enhanced port of the 2011 Wii game, Skyward Sword HD is still available to preorder, and there are some neat retailer-exclusive bonuses for doing so.

In addition to the HD remaster, Nintendo is releasing Zelda-themed Joy-Cons alongside Skyward Sword HD (unfortunately, these have become extremely difficult to find in stock). There are two ways you’ll be able to play Skyward Sword on Switch, and the first method i…

After a bill proposal to legalize online casinos was filed in the New York Senate with an aim to boost the US-largest online market, Gov. Kathy Hochul reportedly released the 2024 Executive Budget to exclude online casinos in the Empire State. As reported by Play NY, Gov. Hochul released the $233 billion Executive Budget on 15 January 2024 to dispel hopes of online gambling proponents until further notice.
$233 Billion Budget:
Hochul said: “This budget makes it clear that fiscal discipline can co-exist with progressive, people-driven policies. I am committed to fight the right fights on behalf of New Yorkers, and to pursue the common good with common sense – by seeking common ground.” The same goal will reportedly be pursued by the lawmakers supporting the bill recently proposed by Sen. Joe Addabbo. His bill S8185 proposing to add online casino gaming and lottery to the state’s online gambling portfolio will be waiting fo…
The United Kingdom has long been one of the world’s premier online gambling markets. Stewarded by the Gambling Commission, the industry has been able to thrive thanks to the strict rules put in place and the balance struck between tight regulation and the free market.
A clear showing of the prominence of the industry in the country can be seen on Premier League football shirts. Although, per The Guardian, from the 2026/27 campaign, the brands will be limited to sleeves and hoardings rather than being primary, middle-of-the-shirt sponsors. Even with this, gambling will continue to thrive.
Being such a competitive and relatively open market, spotting the preference trends of UK customers is key for existing brands to remain popular and new brands to break in an…
