Zenless Zone Zero opens entries for its next round of Beta Testers

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 18th, 2024

miHoYo, aka HoYoverse, has become such a big name in mobile gaming that it's hard to believe that arguably their flagship title, Genshin Impact, is only three and a half years old. Now, they continue the road to the next title in their world, with Zenless Zone Zero gearing up for another round of beta testing.

Zenless Zone Zero, as well as being a title I struggle to say without getting tongue-tied, is an urban fantasy ARPG, set in a world destroyed by a supernatural disaster called the Hollows. The remaining dregs of humanity create the city of New Eridu, and now you, a Proxy, rise to make your mark in this dark history.

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 15th, 2024

As a Warframe player one of the best things about it launching on iOS, despite it being arguably the best way to play the game if you have a controller, is that I can now be paid to talk about it. To whit, we are gearing up to receive the first Warframe addition of the year on March 27th.

Our upcoming Warframe arrival goes by the name of Dante. Once an academic confidant of the Entrati family, Dante was relentless in their pursuit of knowledge. One day, they stumbled upon an artefact known only as The Book, and upon reading, found themselves infected with wrongtounged words, leading to their disappearance. That is, until today.

Wage a war against the floor as SYBO release a new mode in Subway Surfers

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 11th, 2024

It often amazes me how SYBO managed to create the most downloaded mobile game of all time without ramming it down our throats, but then they go and whip out quality events for Subway Surfers and I completely understand. So, without further ado, a new mode awaits.

We all know the Floor is Lava from our childhood right - you can’t touch the ground and have to jump from chairs to couches to tables to stay away from the lava that is definitely there. The game either ends when you hit the floor and legally have to melt, or most likely when someone hurts themselves. Well, now you can enjoy this in Subway Surfers.
