Trans-Inclusive Gaming
Naomi Fairchild – one of my favorite characters, personally – is a total sweetheart of a retro arcade cabinet repair nerd.
A few weeks ago, we posted that Arcade Spirits would be coming to consoles. That includes digital copies that were available May 1st, to the physical copies coming to North American stores on the 22nd. I received an email with the code for the Switch a few days ago, and since then, I’ve barely been able to put it down.
Total War Shogun 2 is a PC Real Time Strategy game that was released on PC on 15th March 2011. It has received amazing reviews and earned itself a BAFTA in the Category for Games Award for Strategy.
I want to mention here that the developers have made Shogun 2 free for a limited time to aid the campaign to stay at home during these difficult times. You can get the free copy from Monday 27th April 2020. This game is a great opportunity if you are new to RTS genre to sink your teeth into it for no cost!

In case you have not heard yet, Sony is giving away two free games until May 5th as part of their “Play at Home Initiative”. As many places all over the world are experiencing thousands of cases of COVID-19, many communities encourage people to self-isolate. And what better way to self-isolate than to sit in a room with a few games. Every PlayStation owner will able to claim a free digital copy of Uncharted the Nathan Drake Collection and Journey. These games will be available until May 5th for free. For people picking up a form of entertainment, this is a great start. Germany and China however will be receiving Knack 2 instead of Uncharted.
LONDON – April 20, 2020 – Set in modern times where the 80s video game crash never happened, Arcade Spirits brings its highly rated, electrifying experience to consoles for the first time on May 1, 2020 across digital and European retail, and in North American stores on May 22. Fans can now preorder a physical copy of the game through major retailers, including GameStop and Best Buy, for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Nintendo Switch™ for $39.99. Digital preorders are also available and includes Xbox One.
In 2017, Ubisoft released an action based fantasy game on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, which mashed 3 factions from 3 different cultures into 1 world prompting them to fight for dominance.
The 3 factions have very distinct looks to them. The Samurai, the Vikings, and the Knights(western).
The game is well designed and thought out, adding many new and different mechanics that makes it different from other games that are similar in genre. These new mechanics are unlike almost any other game out there. With the only real comparison I could make being something like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. A game that was PC only for a long time, allowing a gap in the market to crop up that For Honor filled.
