Squirrel with a Gun is an evocative title, and this wacky sandbox platformer by Dee Dee Creations lives up to its namesake. You do, in fact, control a seemingly ordinary squirrel who wields human-sized guns (and other weapons like a rocket launcher) to blast shady government agents while bouncing around a physics sandbox. It's a strange and silly game, and you can watch editors Marcus Stewart and Charles Harte attempt to rationalize this exclusive gameplay montage.  Head to  Game Informer's  YouTube channel  for more previews, reviews, and discussions of new and upcoming games.

Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC Publisher: Capcom Release: September 6, 2024 Rating: Teen The Ace Attorney series spends the vast majority of its games following defense attorneys like Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice , but there are a few games where this isn't the case. After all, the word "attorney" can also refer to prosecuting attorneys, like Miles Edgeworth, star of the upcoming Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. Capcom has been on an Ace Attorney remaster streak these past few years, and the Ace Attorney Investigations games were the last in the series not yet brought to modern consoles. We got the chance to go hands-on with each title to see how well they hold up, and play one that had never made its way North America until now. The collection includes two games. The first, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, was released for the DS in North America in early 2010. It received generally positive reception with a 78 on Metacri

The game also features contemporary controls and and overhauled camera system.

Bungie has announced layoffs affecting 220 employees. In a blog post , Bungie CEO Pete Parsons cites “rising costs of development and industry shifts as well as enduring economic conditions” as the primary factor while revealing some dramatic changes for the company going forward.  These layoffs represent 17 percent of the studio’s workforce and affect every department of the company, with executive and senior leadership roles impacted most. Parsons states that departing employees will receive a “generous” exit package that includes severance, bonus, and health coverage. Bungie also plans to hold employee town halls, along with team and private individual meetings over the coming weeks, to help sort out the next steps. 850 employees remain following the layoffs.  “I realize all of this is hard news, especially following the success we have seen with The Final Shape,” Parsons writes. “But as we’ve navigated the broader economic realities over the last year, and after exhausting all o

A new trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero takes aim at Dragon Ball Z’s earliest story arcs, the Saiyan and Namek sagas. New characters from both eras will be joining the roster.  New fighters include members of both the Ginyu and Frieza Forces (remember Cui?), the Namakian warrior Nail, and every form of Frieza during the Z era. Perhaps most hilariously, you can even play as one of the Saibamen, meaning we get to watch it blow up Yamcha all over again, which never gets old.   Here's the full list of new fighters joining the roster: Captain Ginyu Chiaotzu Cui Dodoria Frieza (Z), 1st Form Frieza (Z), 2nd Form Frieza (Z), 3rd Form Frieza (Z), 4th Form Frieza (Z), Full Power Guldo Nail Nappa Raditz Recoome Saibaman Zarbon Super Zarbon Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero launches on October 11 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus launched to generally solid reviews on July 18, but those playing the hand-drawn action platformer on consoles will have to wait longer for any post-launch updates. Developer Squid Shock Studios revealed that last week's sudden  closure of publisher Humble Games has adversely affected its ability to provide timely support to those versions of the game.  In a statement posted to Twitter , Squid Shock Studios states that Humble Games' apparent closure last week, which saw its entire 36-person staff laid off by owner Ziff Davis in what it calls a “restructuring,” has adversely affected its ability to provide post-launch support for the console versions of Bō. The studio states that this is due to the game’s porting and QA support being tied to its deal with Humble. The PC version doesn't appear to be affected, with the studio currently working on updates for that version. Here’s Squid Shock Studios’ full statement: A statement on console ports
