ORIGINAL POST: Insomniac Games’ latest, Sunset Overdrive, comes to Xbox One on October 28. I’ve been tooling around in the game for a few days now, and have taken to describing it as “Tony Hawk with guns.” You grind and bounce all around this open world city, using an array of completely bats–t firearms — this is the Ratchet & Clank developer, dontchaknow — to carve up legions of mutant-zombie things, evil robots, and post-apocalyptic bandits.

There’s a lot about the game that I can’t talk about yet due to standard review non-disclosure agreements, but we’re clear to stream as much footage as we’d like from the first two hours of the story. And we’re going to do just that this afternoon at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on the Digital Trends Twitch channel. It’ll be a fresh start in the game, so you’ll be able to see character creation and intro cutscenes in addition to some raw gameplay.

I’ll stream for two hours, from 3 to 5, and will be happy to answer any questions I’m able to. So join us in the Twitch chat this afternoon for your first taste of Sunset Overdrive!

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

GameNative just made it dangerously easy to fill your Android phone with PC game mods

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
