A fresh update for EA Sports FC 25 has dropped today, January 16, along with the reveal of the game’s Team of the Year squads and absolutely no other news in the world of gaming whatsoever. Voting opened up on this year’s UT Teams of the Year last week, so here’s hoping you got your […]

Hello. The Nintendo Switch 2 has now been revealed, in case you missed it, and with a nice bit of new Mario Kart showing off what look like 24 person races that definitely won’t contribute to a big family row after your dad gets side-swiped off Rainbow Road and finds himself behind 23 other karts. […]

I play Monster Hunter Now quite frequently. In fact, I’d say it’s probably the game I consistently spend time with more than any other, phone or otherwise. I may not have a gigantic hour count to prove it – it’s a mobile game designed for short sessions, after all – but I can tell you […]

It’s sounding like no matter how scary 28 Years Later might be, no one will be more afraid than one of its stars, Jodie Comer. The original 28 Days Later might look a touch dated thanks to the fact it was mostly shot in a digital camera, but it definitely still brought the […]

There are plenty of absolutely huge Skyrim quest mods out there, and one that already had an entire plague that spreads like a real epidemic in it has just gotten a whole lot bigger, thanks to a new addition-filled overhaul. It’s called Death Consumes All, and it’s inspired by The Witcher 3’s brilliant Hearts of […]

Look fast! The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t just a thing you can speculate about the reveal of or trawl the internet looking for allegedly leaked pics which may or may not tell you anything about what it’ll look like – it’s actually set to have some games you’ll be able to play on it. Plus, […]

Warframe has added its most ambitious feature yet, one that offers a truly fresh and otherworldly experience. Having a new year’s kiss with someone you like. Finally, a real relationship with someone who thinks my Chroma Prime melee crit build is cool. Thanks Aoi. This addition comes as a small but impactful update to the […]

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now the second highest grossing video game movie in the US, with only his old rival Mario ahead of him. It’s a tale as old as time: plumber versus hedgehog, Mario versus Sonic. OK, maybe not as old as time, more like a tale as old as the late […]

If you need a video game pick-me-up that will cure you of any ailment, then you absolutely need to watch this Crazy Taxi speedrun. I would argue that Crazy Taxi is one of the most video games to ever video game – it is ridiculous, loud, it’s a game many people have played […]

Video game developers change staff pretty often, but one of CD Projekt Red’s CEOs has shared that a lot of The Witcher 3’s development staff are still there. It’ll be The Witcher 3’s 10th anniversary this coming May, and aside from being a reminder of the crushing reality of the passage of time, […]

I’ve not played an open world RPG as thoughtful, earnest, or funny as Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 since… well, The original Kingdom Come Deliverance. With the sequel, Warhorse Studios has managed to strike a fine balance between historical accuracy and deep-rooted seriousness, resulting in a tale packed to the gills with boozy, slapstick hijinks. Just […]

Helldivers 2’s modding community has been putting out some cool stuff recently – especially if you’re into games like Crazy Taxi or, in this case, Halo 3: ODST. You seem, as far as I’m aware, the first ever full-on “Warbond” mod has just dropped for the game, and it looks pretty great. Before we go […]

I told myself I’d work through my hefty backlog over the Christmas break. That was a lie. While I did finish a few short video games, most of my gaming time was spent on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Diablo 4, and Marvel Rivals. All three were riddled with the traditional microtransactions, but only […]

Square Enix has annoucned a new group customer harassment policy to protect its staff against harassment both online and in the real world. It announced this via a blog post in both Japanese and English, which you can read here. In this post, it acknowledges that while feedback from players is important, the acts of […]

If you’re like me, you may at one point have wondered just how much money a PC player with a subscription to PC Game Pass actually saves. It turns out it’s quite the substantial figure, with the total dollar worth of games added to the service in 2024 coming to just under $5,000. This was […]

Move over, Indiana Jones: Xbox is on the warpath once again. Today, Microsoft has announced an Xbox Showcase, set to take place on January 23, 2025 at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK time. The showcase will highlight some of the massive upcoming titles from Microsoft and its partner studios, and whilst we […]

“I’ve had a lot of experience in these gallery spaces and it always felt like this vague form of superficial hell to me,” Filippo Meozzi, director and producer of Doom: The Gallery Experience, tells me. “I work in the art industry as an artist’s assistant, I produce sculptures and other things like that. So, I’m […]

Despite previous reports, it’s sounding like Austin Butler taking on the role of Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s American Psycho is just “fake news.” Last month, it was reported that Dune and Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure actor Austin Butler would be portraying American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman in a new adaptation from Challengers director Luca […]

I love it when a video game makes me say ‘wow’ out loud. It’s even better when it can happen often – and such was the case in an one-hour hands-on session with Split Fiction, the new game from Hazelight Studios that’s set to once again be published by EA. As a co-op game, my […]

Street Fighter 6 has just had yet another battle pass announced for it as it enters the 2025 season, filled with cosmetics for player avatars, stickers, and online challenger portraits. However for Street Fighter 6 fans who’ve been fiending for new costumes for the main cast, the announcement has gone down terribly. If you take […]

You know the Nintendo Switch 2? That small thing absoltely no one’s been speculating about and hungry for news on for a good while now? Well, some fans are now seemigly so desperate for any clues that might help them work out when a reveal is coming that they’re resorting to tarot readings. Yep, forget […]

As Microsoft brings more and more of its games to other platforms, you might be feeling some buyers remorse, but a new third-party Xbox Series X controller could help. Last November, Xbox launched a new campaign under the slogan “This Is an Xbox“, talking about an actual Xbox, your TV, your phone, your […]

Pinball lovers and Dungeons & Dragons fanatics alike will probably be interested in this lush-looking, and wildly expensive, new pinball machine. I have a real love for pinball machines – they’re definitely a bit of a relic of a bygone era, but they’ve persisted all the same, getting more and more extravagant over […]

One of Mass Effect’s most notable features was completely absent from Andromeda, and right now, it’s up in the air if it’ll be back for the untitled sequel. When you think about the Mass Effect series, you probably think about all the choices you can make from the original trilogy, with big and […]

Who doesn’t love a battle pass? Well, hopefully you if you’re planning on hopping into Call of Duty Black Ops 6’s Squid Game crossover event, which kicks off today, January 3, and will run until January 24. You see, it technically comes with not one, but two battle passes, a regular one and a premium […]

Jim Carrey is fresh off of reprising the role of moustachioed and bald baddie Dr Robotnik in Sonic 3, and he’s already suggested that he’d at aleast consider the idea of returning for furture Sonic movies – for example, a Sonic 4, provided he thinks the idea of whatever’s pitched “sounds fun”. This comes after […]

Yep, you’ve read the headline, this is serious stuff. Someone claims to have posted some images taken in a Rockstar office of GTA 6 playing on a monitor to Reddit, and it might have shown us what the developer’s bins looked like back in 2021. That’s assuming it’s actually genuine, of course. The alleged leaked […]

You know GTA 6? That small game that’s set to come out later this year and definitely hasn’t had people on the internet going a bit wild as they try to predict when it might get a second trailer? Well, it’s projected to make an obscene amount of cash when it arrives. Yup, in case […]

Look, it’s not my fault I like video games where you run around like a mischievous little Grinch ruining the Christmas that is people going about their everyday lives, by running them down with cars, slamming a bike over their head so hard they don’t get up, or firing an RPG directly at the pavement […]

The PS Portal is obviously meant to be a supplementary device, and some new data shows off some interesting play habits. When the PS Portal was announced, I immediately knew it wasn’t for me. I really would rather have a PS Vita 2 – which Sony might actually be working on (kind of) […]

Will the next Battlefield save the series and bring it back as a major player in the shooter space? Is that something that it could even do? EA would certainly like the answer to both of those questions to be ‘yes’, and the publisher has been working to secure every possible advantage to help get […]

The Exit 8, a liminal space horror game about trying to find your way out of a Japanese subway station, is getting a movie. When it comes to video game adaptations, really anything is on the table these days, and that includes even the shortest of horror games. And next up on that list […]

In recent years, some of gaming’s biggest breakout successes have been released during the post-Christmas lull between New Year and Spring. Traditionally, it’s supposed to be a quieter time on the calendar – where we’re all too full of turkey and trimmings and sated by games gifted over the holidays to have an appetite for […]

2024 is almost over. In the final throes of what has been a terrible year for the games industry and the media that covers it, but a good one in terms of the number of quality games that were released, we can finally look back at some raw data about our favourite hobby. Well, at […]

I first played Another Crab’s Treasure on the side of the street behind the Day of the Devs event in LA earlier this year, the sun glaring on a laptop screen, quickly running out of power. Next to me sat Nick, the studio head, who watched patiently as a hungover blob attempted to navigate his […]

We all know that Sony’s live-action Spider-Verse is a hot mess, but Sony Pictures’ CEO doesn’t get why they haven’t done well. If I were to offer you two cards, one that said “a film about Spider-Man” and another that said “a film about Spider-Man’s villains, but he’s not in it”, what would […]

Last year, around this time, I wrote a feature arguing that Starfield, with its perfectly OK, but a bit synthetic and cold universe, was 2023’s actual game of the year. Not because it was the best game of 2023, but because the feeling of playing it, the short bursts of fun within a meander through […]

Hideo Kojima is infamously known for his lengthy cutscenes these days, but once upon a time he was a lot more cautious of them. There are a lot of players that don’t really like long cutscenes. After all, the point of a game is to play it, right? Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo […]

I was there at The Game Awards 2024, on the ground in Los Angeles. I don’t know how it all felt and played out online, how the onslaught of ads, Muppet Interludes, and occasionally rushed awards categories worked online – but in the room, my first time experiencing that way, it totally just works. Witnessing […]

Earlier this week, the very much expected double XP event kicked off in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 across all platforms. This is something that happens every year, and 2024 is no different. The event grants double soldier/character XP, as well as double weapon XP – though sadly not double battle pass token earn […]

Warning: Spoilers for both Death of the Reprobate and Die Hard With A Vengeance lie ahead. One day, you’re just living your life, and then bang, some dickhead has to come in and mess everything up. For the protagonist of Death of the Reprobate – a point-and-click indie game that’s one big collage of wacky […]

On the heels of Rare’s success with Sea of Thieves, the British studio announced what would be its next project in November 2019. The game’s name is Everwild, and the initial reveal trailer was more of a tone piece than anything, showing a picture-esque world of wild animals and some elements of magic. Rare followed […]

2024 has been a year of massive, perhaps irreversible change for the games industry. The games media space, which has employed me for over a decade, has itself fallen on the hardest times I’d ever witnessed. You simply couldn’t exist in/around the industry without the layoffs, studio closures, website shutterings, and game cancellations having some […]

We can finally say that we know what Christopher Nolan’s next film is going to be about. Universal Pictures shared the first real details about the highly-anticipated picture in a tweet. The movie is called The Odyssey, and it’s going to be taking the legendary director into the mythic action genre. To see this content […]

You know all those games we were talking about potentially being the thing this year around the time that Geoff Keighley was putting on his best corporate forced smile and preparing to take to the stage at The Game Awards? They can all go do one. Well, maybe aside from Balatro, because everyone likes Balatro. […]

Epic Games has announced the next guest characters to officially arrive in Fortnite, and they both hail from Night City. Both Johnny Silverhand, and female V have joined the in-game shop. If you’re counting, this makes it Keanu Reeves’ second appearance in Fortnite. He’s also there as John Wick, of course, though it’s debatable as […]

I don’t believe we’ve ever covered Maniac here on VG247. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen much coverage for it elsewhere, either. Maniac is not the sort of game that generates headlines, even if its entire gimmick is one I can’t believe no one thought of sooner. If you haven’t already started Googling, Maniac […]

No Rest for the Wicked has been one of 2024’s most interesting releases. Though it got snubbed in many end-of-year awards, it remains an incredible title with an eclectic (and clever) mix of genres. While developer Moon Studios was pretty quick to release patches post-launch, things have since slowed down considerably. The developer also stopped […]

When I started writing up my shortlist of 2024 GOTY candidates earlier this autumn – in an attempt to sort through a messy mixture of widely-agreed-upon hits I still needed to play and total heart picks I intended to go to bat for – The Casting of Frank Stone easily cleared my personal top 10, […]

Looking back at 2024, there have obviously been a lot of fantastic games. No doubt about it – it’s been a great year for pretty much anyone who loves turning on their PC, console, or phone and just throwing dozens of hours to the wind. But there is only one game that has truly astounded […]

When your game(s) of the year largely consist of psychological horror and back-to-back, brutal boss fights — as mine did — you’ll almost definitely need something mindlessly relaxing to kick back with. Sure enough, as I wrapped up my time wandering around the streets of Silent Hill 2, an adorable, unsuspecting game began doing the […]

On TV and in films and games, Star Wars has the same problem. The original trilogy was an unprecedented mix of grizzled Western, brooding Samurai film and pioneering Science Fiction which made for transformative popcorn entertainment, a true pop-cultural event. Most things they do make lots of money, but in a cultural impact sense, in […]

While the core ARPG community may be busy arguing the merits of Path of Exile 2 right now; how challenging (and sometimes downright unfair) it can be, and how much it is and isn’t like Diablo, casual players likely don’t care much about all that. What may turn their heads, however – at least, the […]

2024 was a big year for folk with a never-ending affinity towards all things survival-horror, largely due to the fact that the Silent Hill 2 Remake finally released. A game that, after its initial announcement, I was truly dreading. I love Silent Hill 2, so much, and for the longest time, all I ever really […]

Stalker 2 developer GSC Game World has been gradually working to fix as many of the bugs and issues that plagued the game at launch, and today it’s relased a pretty huge swing at solving a heap of stuff. This latest patch comes with over 1,800 fixes, making it worth of being dubbed the game’s […]

I don’t know about you, but I find that so many games that try to be funny fall short. It’s a hard thing to do! Different people are amused by vastly different stuff, so a developer looking to inject humour into their game is treading on inherently trecherous ground. Racoon Logic has somehow managed not […]

Prepare yourselves, parents, as Bluey is making its way to the big screen, but don’t worry, it’s not out for a couple of years. Ever since it arrived in 2018, you haven’t been able to spend a single second with a child without Bluey cropping up in some shape or form. It’s been […]

The best expansions are unmistakably grounded in their base game, but take all of their strongest ideas and distill them down into a more refined, self-contained experience which not only celebrates everything that made the original great, but takes it just that little bit further, too. Shadow of the Erdtree is not just the phenomenal, […]

Remember Lords of the Fallen? Not the original 2014 game, the sequel that came out in October last year and was fairly divisive. The game’s developer, Hexworks, never really stopped working on it. Very quickly after launch, patches started arriving to address some severe stuttering and performance issues, and fix some crucial bugs. Once the […]

Be careful out there, Sonic fans, as spoilers for the third movie have seemingly hit the internet. Look, I’m not the biggest stickler for spoilers in the world, but they’re still a bit annoying from time to time, and especially if it’s for a film that hasn’t even come out. There’s a lot […]

The Witcher 4’s reveal trailer was quite a looker, and it turns out CD Projekt Red is hoping it’ll capture that in the full game too. We all know that whenever a cinematic trailer is released for the reveal of a game that the final thing won’t end up looking that good. It’s never […]

Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki is taking a backseat for Nightreign, but he did have some solid advice for the spin-offs director. FromSoftware has kind of been the Miyazaki company for a while now, but it seems like slowly things are changing again, like with last year’s Armored Core 6, and now with the upcoming […]

We all got our first proper look at The Witcher 4 during The Game Awards last night, via a cool new trailer that showed Ciri – the game’s protagonist – doing some witchering. Ever since it was originally announced via that image of a medallion in the snow, Geralt’s stepdaughter of destiny taking over the […]

Dress to Impress kicks off its Christmas-themed festivities today with a Winter Wonderland event that will be running within the Roblox game until January 14. That’s a whole month of putting together outfits that will sleigh the catwalk, as well as some sleuthing, as players are also tasked with finding out where the hell Santa […]

“Curse you, Jeff!” That’s what I’ve yelled internally as I was thrown into the nearest abyss at least five times since Marvel Rivals’ launch on December 6. Before that, I barely even knew who the hell Jeff the Land Shark was, and this is coming from a pop culture sicko. Look, I’m a reasonably big […]

Elden Ring Nightreign was one of the big healines at The Game Awards yesterday, as you’d expect from anything with FromSoftware’s critically-acclaimed fingertips. Now, Bandai Namco has revealed that it’ll be getting a network test early next year, with sign-ups starting in January. If you somehow missed Nightreign being announced, it’s a co-op focussed title […]

After yesterday’s big update, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead isn’t done. It’s just deployed a fresh warbond to offer to players taking on the new Illuminate threat that’s arrived as part of Omens of Tyranny. The highlights, gear-wise? Well, a big new flamethrower, and a big pointy electric stick. In case you missed it, the game’s […]

EA Sports has just released the early access for FC Empires, a new football 4X Strategy game that’s kind of like Football Manager meets Clash of Clans. It’s available on iOS and Android in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand right now, with a global release scheduled at some point in the near […]

Here’s a fresh development in the ongoing saga regarding whether Bloodborne, and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa Corporation and Sony will put an Elden Ring on it. Sony itself has officially confirmed it’s interested in such a takeover, and told everyone it’d really appreciate not having to do any more talking about it […]

I’m gonna answer the question in my headline in very literal terms, just to get that out the way before anyone decides to comment “it’s this, duh”: Secret Level exists for IP expansion, and money. That’s it, that’s almost definitely the real reason, because all the executives care about these days is IP, why […]

Despite supposedly being done with the game, CD Projekt Red has just released Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.2, with a few neat additions. Remember earlier this year when CD Projekt Red said that development on the much troubled Cyberpunk 2077 had finally finished, many years after it first started, and almost four years after […]

Kraven the Hunter isn’t even out yet, but a new report has made it pretty clear that Sony is done with its SUMC for now. The SUMC, or Sony Universe of Marvel Characters, will go down in history for a few reasons, including having a ridiculous name, featuring films about characters that no one […]

The first trailer for 28 Years Later is here, and if the full thing ends up being as good, we could be in for a strong Danny Boyle comeback. Over the weekend, Sony released a very short and cryptic teaser trailer for 28 Years Later implying we’d be getting a proper trailer the […]

From Sony, to Netflix, and back to Sony again, the art director of God of War: Ragnarok has shared he’s joining Naughty Dog. Back in May of last year, Rafael Grassetti announced that he would be leaving Santa Monica Studio after 10 years at the studio and shipping both God of War and […]

Once upon a time, there was a little bit of Cyberpunk in The Witcher 3, and thanks to some modders we know what that would have been like (sort of). Slight spoilers ahead for The Witcher 3 side quest Through Time and Space, if you’re fussed about spoilers for a decade old game that […]

The 2005 original version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted is easily one of the most popular in the series, and it turns out a remake of it isn’t entirely impossible. Over the course of the thirty years the series has been around for now, there’s definitely a case to be made that […]

If you’ve been fancying taking a Pokemon nostalgia trip after getting hooked on TCG Pocket, then you’ll be happy to hear Pokemon TV is back! At the start of the year, The Pokemon Company announced that its anime-viewing app Pokemon TV would be shutting down. That wasn’t exactly great for fans of the […]

Epic Games clearly wants Fortnite to be everything and anything, and its newest gamemode appears to be a move into the competitive FPS space. I know Fortnite is inherently competitive, given the whole number one victory royale, yeah Fortnite we ’bout to get down thing, but Epic has just announced a new mode that […]

Warcraft 3: Reforged 2.0 is almost the perfect upgrade of one of the all-time greats of the RTS genre, but I think the upscaled OG graphics are still better. It’s well known that Reforged’s original launch in 2020 was a bust. Many features from the original game were missing; some advanced key commands had been […]

There is definitely, absolutely, 100% a new trailer for Borderlands 4 on the way, we’re just not meant to know about it technically. Look, we all make mistakes, but when you’re the CEO of a company you’d think that you’d be more cautious about making them. Then again, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has […]

Remember that point in June when Helldivers 2’s community really weren’t inerested the idea of getting anti-tank mines as a reward, so they went out and called Arrowhead’s bluff by saving some Super Earth kids – a thing that didn’t benefit the divers’ selfish desires at all? Well, there’s now another Major Order offering a […]

A new holiday-themed Monopoly Go season is upon us, as the Monopoly Man swaps his stovepipe top hat for a fluffy red cap and (presumably) turns to giving presents instead of hoarding infinite wealth for himself. Well, maybe not, but they’re still releasing the Jingle Joy sticker album anyway. Taking over from the long-serving Marvel […]

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the franchise’s latest Disney+ show, had its two-episode premiere earlier this week, and so far, it’s gone over well with most critics and fans. It’s also a return to uncomplicated, swashbuckling Star Wars adventures full of puppets and cool costumes and all that jazz which gives the galaxy more colour and […]

It sounds like Warner Bros. is trying to bring back as much of the original cast as it can for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, as now they’re after Viggo Mortensen. Back in September, it was reported that Warner Bros. was looking to get Ian McKellen to return to his […]

Critical Role is celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, and it seems like the next big step for the actual-play podcast is video games. It wasn’t really a surprise that something like Critical Role, a Dungeons & Dragons podcast featuring some much beloved voice actors, would take off in the way that it did. […]

On October 15, Michael “Mynki” James Brennen died after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He is best known for his work at Digital Extremes and Warframe, on which he was the first art director. Even after his departure from the company in 2017, he retained contact with the team and contributed to the games art […]

When the Nintendo Museum was announced back in 2021, the reveal gave it a slightly different name to what it launched as. Back then it was known by the tentative name of the ‘Nintendo Gallery’ – and that conjures up a much fairer, more appropriate image of the final product than the title ‘Nintendo Museum’. […]

Oh dear, there’s a new 30th anniversary video from PlayStation, and it might just be poking fun at all your Bloodborne remaster requesters. I think there probably isn’t a first-party PlayStation game that fans want a remaster for than Bloodborne. It’s essentially become PlayStation’s “Smash?” in every Nintendo Direct, literally every State of […]

CD Projekt Red won’t be using REDengine for The Witcher 4, but the developer’s vice president of technology has made it clear the engine isn’t why Cyberpunk 2077 suffered. It’s pretty rare for most developers to use their own engines. Square Enix long struggled with its Luminous Engine, the one Final Fantasy 15 was […]

Apart from the gameplay itself, a lot of players’ favourite thing about Helldivers 2 is its soundtrack, but its composer almost gave up on orchestral music. I’d argue that one of the most important aspects of any game is its soundtrack. A bad one will be pretty noticeable, especially because tracks are often […]

Early this morning Pokemon TCG Pocket got a brand-new promo pack event, where players can battle the CPU for a selection of limited-time cards. The grand prize being a special Venusaur with some new art on it. This event is set to run until December 12 at 10PM PST / 1AM EST (13th) / 6AM […]

Good news Lies of P fans, the game’s upcoming DLC is set to release in Q1 of 2025. In addition, the developer Neowiz is currently working on a sci-fi survival horror game. Precious little is still known about this DLC. We have the snowy screenshot provided by the game director from earlier this year, but […]

Light of Motiram, which has gained some critical ire due to its clear and ample “inspiration” of the Horizon series, is coming to PS5 and mobile platforms. Also, there’s a 16 minute gameplay trailer out too! You can watch it yourself, and see just how far the comparisons go. Shocker, it’s a lot like Horizon, […]

You might not have heard of The Summer Hikaru Died just yet, but I think the first trailer will have you adding it to your Netflix watchlist. I’m not sure that slice of life and horror are two genres you’d typically find mixed together, and yet that’s exactly what The Summer Hikaru Died […]

You know what’s a just fine piece of telly? Arcane! It’s an absolute stunner to look at, I’ll give it that, but I personally don’t find the story all that compelling, and season 2 is rushed beyond belief. As a lover of animation I really did just watch it for Fortiche’s in-house style, that […]

Diablo 4 has completed more than a single rotation around the sun. Since its initial release in June, 2023, Blizzard delivered several fundamental changes to its itemisation, levelling experience, difficultly options, and dramatically changed the structure of its endgame. The game received one full expansion, six seasons, and plenty of updates that managed to address […]

That’s right, folks, you can finally start counting down the days to the next Witcher game, as production has finally kicked off at CD Projekt Red. Now, don’t get too excited as it’s almost definitely still years away, but those of you desperately hoping for some Witcher updates finally have a juicy one: […]

Paramount and Sega have graced us with a new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 today, and a bit unexpectedly, there’s a reference to Pokemon in it. It’s been a couple of months since the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 dropped, but with the film releasing in about a month’s time, fans […]

A recent Windows 11 update has seemingly made a number of Ubisoft games unplayable, including Star Wars Outlaws. You know what, computers are a bit annoying aren’t they? We rely on them for so much and then one day one little update can just ruin something for no immediately discernible reason. While playing […]

To this day, players still love The Simpsons: Hit & Run, and apparently there could have been more, if it wasn’t for someone who helped publish the game. I’m not sure if there’s a PS2 game more universally loved than The Simpsons: Hit & Run. I’ve just never heard a bad word against […]

Unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Rebirth won’t be getting any DLC, but it’s not like the director isn’t doing it just because. Following the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there were plenty of fans wondering if a DLC announcement would be coming considering Remake got some during the wait for the sequel. […]

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s a game about you and a group of different people – weirdo mates, if we’re honest – doing a fantasy thing. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a slightly different game about you and a group of different people – weirdo mates, if we’re honest – doing a fantasy thing. And now, thanks […]

Stalker 2 has made me look back and realize that maybe it was a mistake to make Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5 become an industry standard for the next decade. Sure, GSC Game World’s big comeback FPS/survival game is a ‘worst case scenario’ of an UE5-powered game being broken as s**t at launch, but I’ve […]

At this point, Helldivers 2 actually getting its long-rumored third faction – the first game’s Illuminate – feels like something that we’ve been chatting about on and off for years. However, there’s fresh hope now, in the form of a Steam depot update to the game that literally titled, er, “gameplay_illuminates”. No, I’m not messing […]

“I remember going to what was probably the local video game shop or computer shop, and me and my friends saw it on the 3DO, and we were like ‘what’s this?’, we all jumped on it, and you felt badass,” current Need For Speed producer Patrick Honnoraty says. “Being able to drive it, being chased […]

There are some games, really good games, which are time vampires. They entice you with engaging gameplay, snatch your gaze with beautiful visuals, and trap you in a vice of challenging fights you don’t want to give up on. Having played around seven hours of Path of Exile 2 during a preview event – all […]

So there’s a lot of excitement around 2XKO, obviously. Following various reveals of characters like Jinx and Braum, as well as an Alpha Lab test that appears to have gone down well, the average player has had ample opportunity to jump on board this particular hype train. But what about the game’s competitive future? Believe […]

HoYoverse might be gearing up to set Sunday and Tingyun – Fugue, whom I affectionately call Fugueyun or Deadyun (IYKYK), loose in Honkai Star Rail, but that hasn’t stopped them from teasing HSR 3.0’s characters already. First up was The Herta, a 5-star variant of the Herta puppet that’s been present at launch with an […]

Another Alien: Earth teaser trailer has been released upon the world, and there’s not much to see, so let’s be thankful there’s a release window. It seems like with every Alien: Earth tease we get we don’t really get any closer to actually seeing the damn show. The first one mostly just showed […]

Some Spider-Verse fans have spotted a big ol’ neon sign the size of an apartment building in New York, and a few of them think it might be to do with the upcoming third film. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was originally meant to be released in March of this year, in part due […]

The first trailer for Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ series The Studio is here, and it features plenty of big names telling him how awful he is. Okay, they’re not specifically telling Rogen he’s awful, but there really are some big names in this thing. The Studio is an upcoming, 10-episode long series created […]

We all know Baldur’s Gate 3’s mods have proven pretty popular since official support for them was added by Larian with Patch 7. The developer’s gone out of its way to tell us just that, even letting us know just who we need to thank for contributing. Anyway, now Larian’s publishing director has shared that […]

Over the last few years, the retro floodgates have opened – and it’s honestly never been a better time to be an elderly gamer. If you want to relive the glories of your childhood there are now numerous options from a wide variety of companies – but this latest contender might be one of the […]

Crikey, Half-Life 2 just turned 20 this week, but despite that, and even thanks to that, it’s just hit a new concurrent player count peak. Look, we all know that Half-Life 2 is one of the greatest games around. I’ve not even played it and I know that! It just is, but it’s […]

My least favourite trend in gaming has hit Avowed, meaning if you’re happy to pay some extra money for it, you’ll get to play it five days early. Video game company executives have really run out of ways to get you to pay more for their games, haven’t they? They couldn’t just leave […]

Those of you hoping that we’d get a Predator film with the alien as the main character will be very happy to hear that Badlands is doing just that. Predator is having a bit of a renaissance right now, with Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey being very well received when it came out in 2022. […]

You might know who’ll be in Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four film, but an official synopsis finally tells us what they’ll actually be doing. Back in February, after lots of fan casting, hopes, and questions around who would be the MCU’s Fantastic Four, Marvel finally revealed a pretty strong cast. A lil while after […]

In a press roundtable following the Warcraft 30th anniversary direct, World of Warcraft game director Ion Hazzikostas stated that player housing is the “most ambitious feature in a WoW expansion ever”. In a response to a question from the press, Hazzikostas stated, “Dare I say it’s our most ambitious feature in a WoW expansion ever. […]

Helldivers 2’s Democracy Space Station might be a bit of a problem right now, due to the fact its orbital barrages keep blowing up just as many helldivers as they do bots and bugs, but there’s good news. Arrowhead says it’s on the case, and has just enacted a temporaray measure to help out while […]

It’s no news to anyone that I’m a pretty big fan of Pokemon, and I’ve been collecting Pokemon cards ‘for fun’ for just over three years now. The past three years, however, have largely seen me enjoying the hobby on my own, occasionally sharing rare pulls with my friends, before finally pulling the plug on […]

Atomfall, the upcoming game from Sniper Elite developer Rebellion that a lot of folks are be looking to for another fix of British post-apocalypse with a radioactive tinge to it that isn’t quite an official Fallout take on our sad little island, now has a proper release date. It’s arriving on March 25, 2025, as […]

Surprise! Activision Blizzard has suddenly dropped remasters of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, as well as Warcraft II. Not only that, but Warcraft III: Reforged been given a 2.0 update, fixing several issues with the game that hopefully will make it more presentable to classic Blizzard RTS fans. All of these are available today, right now! […]

Bloodborne, a legendary game. In my eyes, the best FromSoft game. The first one I fell in love with. The one that opened my mind to the grizzly machinations of Miyazaki and co., and that still echoes in my blood today whenever I pick up the pad and enter the Lands Between or venture back […]

We all at one point or another dream about owning a Batmobile, and soon enough 10 (very rich) people will get to make that reality. With so many different incarnations of Batman, we’ll all have our favourite Batmobiles depending on when we grew up – my personal favourite is Batman: The Animated Series, […]

Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket has done the unthinkable for a mobile game: it’s actually excited and invigorated my group of friends. Our Whatsapp group chat, usually solely dedicated to planning our next pub outing, is now awash with screenshots of Pokemon card pulls and chatter about online matches and limited-time events. In a chat […]

Are you eager to jump back into 2XKO? Did you miss out the first time and want to try it out fresh-faced and eager? Well there’s some good news! According to an official post by 2XKO game director Shaun Rivera, the team is aiming to set a 2nd Alpha Lab test in Spring 2025. This […]

MachineGames has kindly offered up a deep dive into the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it’s looking good! Been feeling like you need a good long look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle before you consider picking it up next month? Well it’s your lucky day, as there’s 15 whole […]

There’s lots of reasons to remake a game, but for Konami, its choice to make Metal Gear Solid Delta comes from a concern about young people. Kids these days – can they even tell you which one is Big Boss, The Boss, Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, or Venom Snake by looking at pictures […]

Romance options are pretty popular in RPGs these days, and even though Avowed doesn’t have any, its director thinks it’s better off without one. For reasons that will probably be pretty obvious, video game players love to digitally smooch other video game characters, with romance options being quite popular in a lot of […]

“We’ve all waited 14 years for this game,” modder Badass Baboon says of the original Red Dead Redemption, when it finally arrived on PC at the end of last month. “My excitement was through the roof, even though with the datamined information from the Switch/PS4 version, we pretty much had confirmation that a PC version […]

We’re drowning in Star Wars things that’re in the works right now, and here’s another one to add to the bacta tank. A new trilogy that Lucasfilm has reportedly agreed a deal for Simon Kinberg – known for his work on several X-Men movies – to write and produce. So yeah, make some space, the […]

PlayStation players have waited long enough for this one, but it’s finally becoming a reality. Fatshark announced this week that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is officially coming to PS5 on December 3. Longtime fans of the Swedish developer should be very familiar with the studio’s seeming love of releasing games and major updates towards the end […]

There are no ducks in my pool. There never were any ducks in my pool. To be honest wit’cha, I don’t even know if the ducks in The Sims 4 would hit the same as the ones I fed back in the old place. But I miss ‘em all the same. Why? Will you stop […]

Bang. While we’re all waiting for more fun Death Stranding 2 teasers and info, the Director’s Cut version of the original Death Stranding has been surprise dropped onto Xbox Series X/S. While the base version of the game has previously been on an Xbox thing – Game Pass – that was just for PC, and […]

I’ve been spending much of my time in Pokemon TCG Pocket battling other players, especially as I wait 12 hours for another pack to become available. Doing so, I’ve seen truly unfortunate disasters. Sometimes it’s me hitting countless tails with my Marowak EX deck. Sometimes it’s the enemy Misty card never ever hitting heads. I’ve […]

The Babadook director Jennifer Kent might be directing an adaptation of a book from Hellraiser creator Cliver Barker, and I really hope she is. As we all know, when The Babadook isn’t galavanting off as a queer icon, it’s generally sitting around as quite a good horror film, and it turned 10 years old […]

Look, pretty much everyone loves Helldivers 2, even if things have looked a bit shaky on that front on a few occasions this year, and sometimes the best way to show that is by demanding Arrowhead fill it with crossovers. We’re not talking about official crossovers, and Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt’s just run down his […]

The chickens are saved! Stardew Valley players hear me now, the recent surge of fowl falling foul of a nasty bug around freshly built Meadowland Farms has been fixed at last. Thank you, Mr ConcernedApe (sole creator of Stardew Valley), for thinking of the birds in these crazy times. This wonderful news came via a […]

There’ve been a lot of cool custom class mods released for Baldur’s Gate 3 since it came out, no matter whether you want something pretty standard that just doesn’t happen to be in the base game, or something that comes from the utterly bizarre cauldron of your own DnD exploits. One of the latest to […]

Warning: Spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard lie ahead. Dust off your lore tomes and most unhinged expressions, Dragon Age: The Veilguard players have unearthed a board on a wall that looks to be a hidden easter egg trying to convey something about the wider narrative of the series or just having a bit of […]

Quite frankly, GTA Online can physically never have enough robberies. Like, it never can. Those people who own half of Los Santos at this point, they always need more stuff to nick, and the game’s December update’s set to deliver in that regard, with Rockstar also dropping some good news for PC players. It’s been […]

Are you a troll? Do you like being a cheeky so-and-so? Then, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may be the game for you right now, as its hardcore playlists allow you to flash allies for XP. It’s not a lot of XP, and it’s actively hurting your team’s efforts to win the match, but […]

The Monster Hunter Wilds beta has being doing very well in terms of attracting players so far, but plenty of those folks seem like they might now be in danger of wetting the bed – either in fear or amusement – after encountering some graphical glitch nightmare fuel that makes the game not look like […]

One of the things that filled the ten year gap between Dragon Age: Inquisition and its recently released successor Dragon Age: The Veilguard was fans wondering aloud if BioWare would consider releasing a collection of the older games in the series, all nicely tweaked for modern hardware. After all, the developer’s other big RPG series, […]

Helldivers 2’s latest Warbond, Truth Enforcers, arrived in-game earlier today, bit it looks like the armour set that’s dropped via the Superstore just after it that’s arguably attracting even more player attention. Some of that’s for good reasons, as it looks nice, but it’s also causing a lot of folks to question whether it should […]

Keanu Reeves might have come across some cursed online knowledge while prepping for his role as Shadow the Hedgehog for Sonic 3, something even darker than his part as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. Director Jeff Fowler praised Reeves’ commitment to the character during Sonic Revolution’s Shadow Revolution online stream (hat tip to GamesRadar). “He […]

You know how Baldur’s Gate 3’s mods were proving pretty popular since Patch 7 brought them to everyone? Well, that’s not slowed down, as Larian’s just revealed that 50 million have now been downloaded by players across all platforms since that point. That big figure might not yet include everything the studio suggested modders would […]

There are plenty of Marvel fans that want Josh Brolin to come back as Thanos in some shape or form, and it sounds like the actor is generally up for it. The build up to Thanos took almost an entire decade, culminating in the pair of Avengers films that pretty bluntly did away […]

Dave Bautista has just joined a film about a group of alien invaders who disguise themselves as a 1950s biker gang, and he’s only the tip of the A-list cast. You probably don’t know David and Nathan Zellner, but with the huge cast attached to their next film Apha Gang, you probably will […]

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s reviews went live yesterday ahead of its release later this week, and naturally that ignited a lot of chatter from folks who’ve already played the game and those who’re planning to. Among this noise was some talk about Bioware’s other beloved RPG series, Mass Effect, with the developer currently leading work […]

Er, Helldivers 2 folks, you might want to start emplying some of the more dramatic post-Liberty Day hangover abatement techniques in your arsenal, if you’re still suffering from the effects of freedom overindulgence. Why? Because Arrowhead’s just dropped a fresh Major Order and it looks pretty damn tough. Yep, after granting everyone some nice free […]

It turns out that I can relate quite a lot to the new live-action actor behind Kazuma Kiryu, as he’s waiting to play the Yakuza series until he has more time, too. Look, you don’t have to sell me on them – I know I’ll love the Yakuza games. Every single thing I’ve […]

Insomniac confirmed last week that no new story content is coming to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but a new update will still likely be welcome to (some) fans. Much to the dismay of many Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans, when Insomniac and Sony announced last week that the game would be coming to PC in 2025, […]

If you ask someone like me, who’s really into the Yakuza/Like A Dragon games, why you should play the Yakuza/Like A Dragon games, fairly early on in the process there’s a good chance they’ll end just defaulting to grabbing you by the lapells and in their best husky Kiryu voice saying something like: ‘Look, just […]

Have you played Call of Duty Black Ops 6 yet? The first thing you’ll notice when you boot up the game and jump into the single-player portion (if that’s what you’re into), is the theme. There’s one single horn, playing this gorgeous, simple motif, to start things off. Bass and drums build slowly in the […]

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 out and about, a lot of time is being spent figuring out the new movement system. That makes sense, omni-movement is a major addition to the game that offers a lot of skill expression, not to mention it’s a lot of fun. But with the good lurks the […]

It’s been a pretty depressing year for the games industry, with more layoffs and cutbacks than anyone can remotely justify, as corporate bigwigs still take home huge compensation packages, or waltz into golden parachutes. As much as they can, developers are trying to fight back against this tide of misery, but it’s a tough task, […]

The Sims 4 Life & Death expansion pack is due to launch on Halloween, which is all well and good for an add-on that gives playable ghosts their long-awaited overhaul. But while the spooky trappings aren’t inappropriate for a DLC that’s also reintroduced the oft-requested ability to bone the Grim Reaper, I can’t help but […]

How do you follow-up your work on Disco Elysium, without just making something that’s too much like Disco Elysium to be as innovative as Disco Elysium was? It’s a hell of a riddle, and also a thing that Summer Eternal, the new studio featuring ex-ZA/UM devs that came with its own manifesto, is grappling with. […]

The previously announced John Wick anime project is still on the way, and now it’s apparently a film about how the titular character retired. Around this time last year, John Wick series director Chad Stahelski shared that an anime project set in the franchise’s world was in the works, and at the time […]

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hype train has nearly arrived at the station, with the game set to release in a matter of days. In part of the celebration, Activision has created replicas of classic gifs featuring Peter Stormare. He, in case you aren’t aware, plays a recurring character called “The Replacer”, […]

While there are plenty of FPS-heads out there who’d give an arm and a leg for Guerilla Games to put down the Horizon series it’s spent the past decade getting off the ground and go back to making Killzone, it seems the studio itself is still pretty comfortable with the choice to switch to making […]

If you’ve been wanting someone to take another stab at Stephen King’s Carrie, you’re in luck, as The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan is working on a TV adaptation. There have been several film adaptations of the classic Stephen King horror novel Carrie over the years, obviously kicking off with the […]

Hey, it’s the first big patch for the Silent Hill 2 Remake following its arrival in all of our lives a week and a bit ago. What’s it do? Well, aims to help curb some of poor James’ glitchy shenanigans, plus some other stuff. If you’ve yet to play the game, you probably should if […]

Things’re never too routine for long in Helldivers 2, and the latest twist appears to have come in the form of this Major Order’s new baddies – the automaton Jet Brigade – momentarily being shown as assaulting every bug and bot-controlled sector on the map. Thankfully, they weren’t actually doing so. If you’re out of […]

Have you ever wished Hades starred cuddly (but lethal) animals and had co-op? If your answer is positive, you ought to check out Motion Twin‘s Windblown, whose early access launch is just around the corner and is preceded by a killer Steam Next Fest demo. If the studio’s name sounds familiar, it’s because the team […]

It’s been a busy few years for Too Kyo Games since it was formed as an independent offshoot of Spike Chunsoft back in 2017. Even with that whole global pandemic presumably slowing down production at least a little bit, the studio has managed to ship three games since 2020: FMV mystery Death Come True, kid-friendly(ish) […]

If I’m being honest, consuming any kind of horror media any time of year is always the best time to do so, but it really does just hit a bit different when it’s in October. I know that that’s as much an influence from capitalism, what with all those Brands trying to sell me […]

The Russia-Ukraine war rages on, and there is no team more impacted by this reality than Stalker 2 creators GSC World. At the outbreak of the war, the team was split in two, with half evacuating the country and the others staying behind. The company fell victim to cyber attacks following its decision not to […]

FBC: Firebreak is Remedy’s first crack at doing a multiplayer shootery thing, and after it was revealed at the latest Xbox Partner Preview, it’s been revealed that the game’s gonna be coming to PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass at the same time, day one. Yep, fresh off of showing the gameplay from Alan Wake […]

Cronos: The New Dawn – an interesting looking third-person survival horror game – was revealed at the latest Xbox Partner Preview, and, in a amongst lots of monster shooting, its trailer featured a chess match that’s earned big praise from chess nerds. Yep, fresh off of releasing the Silent Hill 2 remake that’s earned a […]

2K has announced Project Ethos, a new “3rd-person roguelike hero shooter” – yep, here’s another one of those – from 31st Union, the studio headed up by Michael Condrey, the co-founder of Call of Duty studio Sledgehammer Games that didn’t do The Callisto Protocol. If you need a quick refresher, before forming 31st Union in […]

Uh oh, it’s sounding like The Witcher season 4 will have even more new faces, as the actor behind Vesemir has also reportedly been replaced. We’ve known for quite a while now (two years in fact) that when The Witcher season 4 rocks up presumably sometime next year it won’t be Henry Cavill […]

I’ve played Guilty Gear: Strive, Tekken 8, and Street Fighter 6 against people in the states over the weekend, and I think it’s safe to say that the war for better netcode in fighting games is pretty much won at this point. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings We’ve got […]

The Witcher 3’s REDkit modding tools continue to be a blessing, whether you’re after cut content, autumnal vibes or the chance to sail a big ship. Now, someone’s offering Geralt a chance to head off on an entirely fresh adventure to a land loreheads’ll defintely be familiar with – Cintra. Yep, as a sumbmission for […]

Destiny Rising – a mobile game and alternate timeline prequel to Bungie’s hit sci-fi FPS Destiny 2 – has been announced. Developed and published by Netease Games under the liscense of Bungie, closed beta registration for what will surely be a controversial project in the eyes of Destiny fans are now live. The game was […]

Everyone pretty much already knew that Payday 3 had a really terrible launch, and in a recent interview developer Starbreeze has admitted as such, even as it makes some hopeful promises. Right out the gate, Payday 3 was a struggle to run – matchmaking issues were constant, and only a month after it […]

The “Bros” part of Super Smash Bros. has always been a bit of a mystery, but series creator Masahiro Sakurai has shed some light on what it means. For the most part, the name Super Smash Bros. title makes a lot of sense – super, because, well, Super Mario, Super Nintendo Entertainment system, […]

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero has surpassed over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, following the conclusion of its early access release window. As of writing it is at the top of the store’s Top Selling list. The game, which is brilliant by the way as noted in our review, hit this eye-catching milestone overnight. Before that, […]

A group of former members of the original development team of RPG darling Disco Elysium have today revealed their first new title under a new UK studio: XXX Nightshift. No, you’re not getting deja vu – this really has happened twice in one day, with this reveal following hot on the heels of the announcement […]

If I had to choose a single word to describe Mario & Luigi: Brothership after an hour or so seeing a few different areas of the near-final game, that word is up there in the headline: it’s delightful. If I had to choose a second, well… let’s go for refreshing. It feels a bit like […]

The Phantom Menace is the one Star Wars movie that probably received the most tie-in games back in the day, and it appears that Lucasfilm Games is making sure we remember all of them. After a straightforward re-release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace earlier this year, it’s been announced that Aspyr is remastering Jedi […]

Finally, it’s here, the announcement all you Mario and Zelda fans have been waiting for… the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo. Nintendo Switch 2? Never heard of it, but what I have heard of is the freshly announced Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, a literal alarm clock from the Mario makers themselves. No, you haven’t just […]

Gladiator 2 might not even be out yet, and Ridley Scott might be getting quite close to his 90s, but he’s already working on a script for a third one. After a 24 year gap, the 2000 historical epic classic Gladiator is finally getting a sequel, with Ridley Scott still at the helm, an […]

I think Junji Ito might be cursed. Or at least, maybe his work is, because when it comes to animated adaptations of any of his manga, they just never seem to come out right. 2018 saw the release of the Junji Ito Collection, which was made up of a range of his stories, more […]

I feel like I need to begin this review by clarifying what exactly 2024’s Until Dawn is and what you should — and shouldn’t — expect from it. We all know it’s a re-release of the now-classic 2015 branching-narrative horror-adventure game developed by Supermassive as an exclusive for the PS4, sure. But is it a […]

Over the weekend, Chinese Tekken 8 player xiaochenchen (XCC) made a scorching run through the bracket at Thaiger Uppercut. To call this an unexpected result is an understatement. People know that there’s a fighting game space bubbling away in China, but fairly or unfairly, it’s not held in the same regard as other countries. XCC […]

Three years on and a few bumps in the road later, Halo Infinite is looking to mix things up with… uh, a third person mode! Everyone has their preference over first and third-person shooters (when’s someone gonna make a second-person shooter?), but no one can deny that the defining way to experience Halo […]

If you’ve been on the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page recently and noticed the review scores seem a bit low, that’s because someone’s been tampering with them. Against all odds, the Silent Hill 2 Remake has been reviewing quite well. There are plenty who feel surprised by that fact, some reviewers included, […]

There’s been some breaking news around Ubisoft today. According to a reportfrom Bloomberg, the French video game industry giant is considering leaving the publicily-traded and family owned ways behind, to seek shelter from recent stock lows under Tencent’s umbrella. This should worry those who’ve been paying attention to major gaming news over the past few […]

Strange Scaffold‘s recent streak (over two years) of wildly different indie releases has been pretty wild: From El Paso, Elsewhere to Life Eater to Clickolding, the indie studio has represented tight and laser-focused gaming at its best and most experimental. Its latest release, I Am Your Beast, might be the less weird one of the […]

When Claude Makelele moved from Real Madrid to Chelsea at the height of Galacticos era, Zinedine Zidane famously said: “Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you’re losing the entire engine?” And, despite the exciting addition of PlayStyles in the inaugural EA Sports FC, EA’s flagship football franchise has felt a […]

When I first sat down and really dug into Starfield after it came out last year, I was between jobs. I had two weeks to interact with the thing as much as I wanted to – this game I’d been looking forward to not necessarily because I was that into the premise, but because of […]

Yo. Do you know someone that’s say, a bit too into true crime stuff, or just likes making replicas of their entire social group/family that eventually end up meeting sticky ends? Well, very carefully wake them up, EA’s just revealed The Sims 4’s next expansion, Life and Death, which’ll let you take on being a […]

Warning: Spoilers for the main quest of Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC lie ahead. STOP. Can you NOT touch things in here and maybe just THINK about p**sing off? They keep telling me this, in pretty huffy tones, their spooky ghost people faces made of slightly wiggly light scrunching up into cyber-frowns. It’s not enough. I […]

It turns out that legendary director Steven Spielberg is quite the gamer, and in particular loves Call of Duty. There’s obviously been several games based off of Spielberg’s works over his many years of filmmaking, so there’s always been a link between the two, but I bet like me you didn’t know that […]

EA Sports FC 25’s second title update is here, but it’s only released on PC to start off with, with cross-play between that platform and consoles now being on hold until Xbox and PlayStation folks get it too. So, if you were hoping to get into a match with your mate who’s on the opposite […]

The Simpsons aired its series finale yesterday, except it didn’t, as it was all one big prank on you, the viewer. Spoilers ahead. Last night, some viewers of The Simpsons felt a bit confused while watching the show, as the newest episode did an odd thing: it told everyone that this was the show’s […]

Ace Attorney fans, your chance for a new game isn’t zero, as Capcom has promised you can expect more from the series in the future. As beloved as the Ace Attorney series is, there hasn’t actually been a completely new entry in the franchise since 2017’s The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. In the […]

It turns out that Sony was not particularly confident in the original PlayStation doing all that well. As it stands, the original PlayStation is the sixth best selling console of all time. It’s not quite as popular as the PS4 or the console that takes the number one spot, the beloved PS2, but […]
