On June 11, Capcom turned 40 – happy birthday Capcom! A new showcase is definitely the best way to celebrate. It features eight titles of 36 minutes, which is perfect both for the amount shown and the length of the presentation. Capcom has a pretty solid catalogue of titles, so…

Major shoutout for Ubisoft for its accessibility efforts for this Ubisoft Forward! In English there are four live streams to choose from, including English subtitles, English audio description, and American sign language (you can find them all here).

The Tribeca Games Spotlight is one of the few (if any) showcases with no reveals or surprises. Rather, it announces the games in advance and then spends its time taking a good long look at each title. Last year’s was great, as it included Immortality. There are seven games in…

This is the first annual Access-Ability Summer Showcase. I was pleasantly surprised to even hear that it existed, and in all honesty I’m honoured to cover such a strong selection of current and upcoming titles. While I wish I could give full coverage to every game mentioned, I honestly just…

Shadows of the Damned is pure grindhouse. Originally released way back in 2011, the game follows the story of Garcia, a motorcycle-riding tough guy, as he descends into hell to rescue his lingerie-clad true love from an army of demons. Armed with Johnson (a talking skull-gun ally and, yes, the…
