The break was yesterday, and yesterday is over! Game Two is back from its summer vacation. And that directly with a full gamescom special from the mega fair in Cologne. Look forward to Super Mario Odyssey, The Evil Within 2 and Monster World. In addition, we take a closer look at the eternal kicker rivals FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer in their respective latest installments. Wolfenstein 2, Detroit: Become Human & Kingdom Come: Deliverance are of course also included, just like our overview of the most exciting indie games of the near future.

gamescom 2017 - The Highlights of the fair

The gamescom in Cologne is over. But the Game-Two crew was so busy that a second show with trade fair highlights came out - and it's extra-extra long! Not only blockbuster contenders like "Assassin's Creed: Origins", "Forza 7" or "Anno 1800" are included. Potential little gems like "Crossing Souls", "Sonic Forces" or "The Swords of Ditto" have also found their way into the show. And as a cherry on the pizza, there's our gamescom A(w)kwards 2017: Our editorial team has tracked down the most award-worthy games of the trade fair and honored them in very special categories.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Anno 1800, Yakuza 6

Sofia & Simon, our dynamic dynamite duo, ignite a games rocket of the finest today: In the Switch-exclusive action tactician MARIO+RABBIDS: KINGDOM BATTLE, the moustache and the long-eared team up to explore previously unknown galaxies of gaming fun. UNCHARTED: THE LOST LEGACY also proves with a pair of female heroes that double is not only better, but can also be twice as good. In addition, in PREVIOUSLY NOT ON GAME TWO we dedicate ourselves to hand-picked gems that unfortunately could not be adequately appreciated during our summer break. Including the makeover of STARCRAFT, the dark fantasy battle HELLBLADE or the upgraded sword duel NIDHOGG 2. Your Game-Two-Crew wishes you a lot of fun!

The upcoming Christmas business is already casting its shadow, so Sofia and Lara will be serving up some really fat Polygon gems in September. Let's start with "Destiny 2" - Ballerboy Trant reveals whether the second part can finally deliver what the first promised. Christoph, meanwhile, has picked up the 3DS remake of the Game Boy classic "Metroid: Samus Returns" - how well has the reinterpretation of the old-school adventure turned out? Last but not least, the intrepid Micha plunges death-defyingly into the world of "Knack 2". The predecessor wasn't all that good, has the sequel learned its lesson? Krogi's news rounds off our 38th episode of Game Two. Let's dig in!

Destiny 2, Metroid: Samus Returns, Knack 2

Cutting sleds and wedging battle colossi! The new episode Game Two stands with its name for profound topics and does not shy away from difficult questions. For example, "How much car porn does a current racing game need?" With the question posed, it's clear that only sexy boxing slut Micha can provide the right answers. And since Marvel vs. Capcom features powerhouse super dudes punching each other in the jaw, our very own super dude Tim had to get in on the action. He took apart the super vs. game hero crossover, and tells you if it's awesome. Also awesome is our Top 10, which couldn't be more fitting: Markus has picked out the greatest brand co-ops in the gaming industry. And last but not least, Krogi serves you the hottest gaming news of the week. So hold on to your knickers and press play!

"The best episode we've ever done!" - with this quote from the beautiful Micha we welcome you to a new round of Game Two. Micha also grabbed ELEX right away. Can the latest action RPG from the makers of GOTHIC live up to its old glory days? SOUTH PARK: THE RECOGNIZED DESTRUCTION also has to face the comparison with its brilliant predecessor. Editor Christoph has put some crazy cartoon adventures to the test. Last but not least, we look at the current hot topic of lootboxes: Trant takes a closer look at the different models offered by the game manufacturers and reveals when the tried-and-true gamer motivation of opening boxes turns into an unruly rip-off.ole game tune

Madness! Who's going to play all that? The Christmas business is throwing the hottest blockbusters at us. We have spared no expense and overtime to dissect even the thickest gaming hunks in detail for you and to check their qualities. Tim picked up SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY and checks whether Nintendo's holiest cow lives up to the usual praise on the Switch. Meanwhile, Sebastian faces the horrors of THE EVIL WITHIN 2 - can the sequel finally deliver what the predecessor only promised? And lead-foot boy Trant wasn't lazy either: The PS pro examines the eternal rivals GRAN TURISMO and FORZA and reveals which current series representative is better suited for which racing mind. In short: Welcome to GAME TWO!

In the new episode, fists, blades and unfiltered emotions take the helm. Christoph has taken a look around Ancient Egypt and reveals whether Ubisoft's general overhaul of the ASSASSIN'S CREED series has been a success. Meanwhile, the handsome Micha gets to the bottom of the ultimate Gretchen question for nerds: Is wrestling just a make-believe sport for brain-damaged meat mountain fans? WWE 2K18, which recently began courting buyers, serves as the occasion for the investigative reporting. Meanwhile, Sebastian takes a look back at the past weeks and all the cool games that unfortunately didn't make it into the show - UNDER THE RADAR.

Welcome to another brutally good episode of Game Two. Tim delves into the alternate post-war reality of WOLFENSTEIN 2: THE NEW COLOSSUS and reveals just how well the creative mix of blood-dripping gunplay and cynical satire has worked out. Meanwhile, Trant takes a closer look at Microsoft's latest console update, the XBOX ONE X - is this potent powerhouse worth its 500 euros? Sebastian, on the other hand, goes into reverse and travels back to his youth. SHADOW HEARTS: COVENANT was a highlight in the JRPG monotony for the blond bearded man. Why the idiosyncratic role-playing game with a horror twist is still worth a look today, you can find out at EXCAVATED. The whole crew wishes you a lot of fun!

Christoph followed in Schröck's footsteps to understand his fascination for CALL OF DUTY in the newest part WWII. He tells you himself whether our brave warrior returned from the battlefields of World War II full of knowledge and in one piece. NEED FOR SPEED PAYBACK, on the other hand, landed on a different desk - Markus checks whether the arcade-oriented counter-design to GRAN TURISMO & Co is just loud or whether it's also fun. Last but not least, guest editor Hauke goes in search of his favorite genre, MMORPGs. Where have they gone? Are they still there? Or were they never gone? We'll enlighten you!

Call of Duty: WWII, Need for Speed Payback, Report MMORPGs

With the lootbox policy for BATTLEFRONT 2, manufacturer Electronic Arts has sparked a shitstorm of epic proportions. Tim looks at the facts behind the heated discussion and examines whether there might be a viable STAR WARS game underneath all the layers of shitstorm. Meanwhile, Sebastian looks at Nintendo's successful Switch console and asks why the portable console is becoming an attractive gaming platform for more and more developers. Last but not least, we take a look at the upcoming games month: Which titles should you sneak onto your gift table just before the holidays?

It's hard to believe, but the Japanese pocket monsters are already 20 years old. On the occasion of the release of POKEMON ULTRASONNE & ULTRAMOND, Markus reminisces about the indestructible success story behind Pikachu, Karpador and Co. In terms of Japanese role-playing games, things get really interesting just before Christmas: XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 wants to prove that it outshines its celebrated predecessors on the Switch - Trant puts the RPG to the test. Last but not least, Christoph has taken care of our tidbit review UNDER THE RADAR: among the missed gems of this issue are OUTCAST: SECOND CONTACT, BLACK MIRROR, HAND OF FATE 2, DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB! and NIOH for the PC.

20 years of Pokémon, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Under the radar

For the 50th episode, we're really popping the corks: Whether you're a virtual farmer or a polygonal law enforcement officer - today it's all about games that let you slip into the profession of your choice digitally. Accordingly, on the occasion of the add-on HEUBERGUNG for the LANDWIRTS-SIMULATOR 2017, Sebastian asked around in the iron fan scene about the reasons for the fascination. Michael, Trant and Colin dedicate themselves to GOLD RUSH: THE GAME, AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULATOR as well as VIRTUAL RIDES 3: FAHRGESCHÄFT SIMULATOR in a hard-hitting self-experiment. And with a bit of luck, Mark will finally get his turn: With AUTOBAHNPOLIZEI SIMULATOR 2, our recording manager may fulfill his dream of making his own contribution.
