Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed dads that'd been away. Haven't changed, had much to say, but man I still think them cats are crazy. My dads are back in town, you see, now that Yakuza Kiwami 2 is out on PC. Mobster-with-a-heart-of-gold Kazuma Kiryu will once again roam around Tokyo and Osaka in this brawler-RPG sequel, becoming a father figure to total…

I only found out about the dad dating sim, Dream Daddy [official site] a few weeks ago when a friend brought it to my attention as we paddled in the freezing sea and toasted a wedding. Look, that is just how we roll - do not question my lifestyle choices. ANYWAY. The point of Dream Daddy is that you are a dad romancing other hot…
Bethesda continue to prove that they're the kings of lyrically-relevant, stylistically-incongruous music choices. Wolfenstein 2 used Wayne Newton's Danke Schön, while The Evil Within 2 [official site] uses a Duran Duran cover in the reveal of its grisly horror sequel. Watch the trailer below.
Good morning! While we were all sleeping (and Adam was fighting terrible conference wifi), Bethesda's press conference happen. With came announcements of new games, including Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus [official site]. There's an 8 minute trailer below, which includes live action sequences, cutscene vignettes and lots and lots of killing Nazis and robots and robot Nazis.

Dads are a notoriously angry species, we all know this, we’ve seen the documentaries. But what is it like to be a dad? What goes on in those strange, otherworldly minds? Washing up worries? Beer? I can’t answer that question, for I am but a humble games journalist, and thus banned from procreating. But maybe I have something here that can help us decode these…
Will Dad Quest explain the mystery of where all these dads keep coming from?
Dads: what are they? Where do they come from? Why are they here? And how have these pod people managed to replace a full half of Rock, Paper, Shotgun? Some say games can offer powerful insight into others' lives but, beyond Shower With Your Dad Simulator, almost all dad games star raging goons who stomp out the teeth of anyone who goes near their daughter…
The duties of a game dad usually entail smashing in the teeth of anyone so much as looks at your daughter figure, but Who's Your Daddy takes a far more realistic approach. The two-player asymmetric multiplayer game will have a game dad rushing about trying to child-proof a home while the baby crawls about trying to find ways to injure itself. Drinking soap is always…
Does the latest Dad By The Sword [official site] trailer tell us much new about the first-person dad-action-RPG? Nnnooot really (you get a nice look at your dad's bejorted leg as he kicks a monster, mind). The trailer does, however, have the best live-action sequences since Roundabout. I never knew dad was such a versatile - and prevalent - element.
You can hardly swing a cat in here without hitting a dad and being sent to your room. On Monday I was tip-toeing around the first-person melee roguelikelike parenting of Dad By The Sword, and now I'm slipping on headphones so I can listen late at night to the bizarre rewrite of Kanye West's Power in the trailer for Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015:…
In contrast to many of my treasured colleagues, I dislike puns. I suppose I never went through the Future Publishing punmill. Dad By The Sword [official site] might have a punny name, but its puns are seeds sprouting justification for roguelikelike first-person melee mutilation and murder.Your game dad will run around procedural dungeons in his jorts, see, hacking monsters and hot dogs to pieces, collecting…
It's not easy, being a game dad - a gruff, burly, bearded figure whose parenting technique is heavy on slitting throats, kicking teeth in, shooting faces, and shouting. I can't imagine how this works with mundanities like homework, chores, and teenage rebellion, but it seems to work out all right in apocalyptic scenarios. When your daughter/daughter figure is in trouble, a game dad's gotta do…
