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 because they

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.

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.

Ubisoft has just announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been delayed from its latest release date of February 14, to a new date of March 20, 2025.
