It’s been a great year for fighting game events. Not only did Evo 2024 — the biggest fighting game tournament in the world — wrap up after breaking records, but we’ve seen growth across the genre, and across the globe. It feels like more attention than ever is on a historically niche style of game,

The Plucky Squire – one of the coolest looking indie games set to release this year – has finally got itself a release date. It’s going to launch on September 17, but PlayStation Plus subscribers will be happy to learn that they’ll be able to download it day-one. This was announced via the official PlayStation

The release date for Dragon Age: The Veilguard has leaked online. This comes just a few hours after BioWare officially announced that it would be unveiling the launch date for its fourth Dragon Age game in a new trailer scheduled to go live later today. A snippet of the supposed trailer unfortunately leaked ahead of

Earlier this year, we saw the biggest open bracket video game tournament conclude – Evo 2024. With over 16,000 tournament entrants and many spectators alongside them, Evo made clear to the Las Vegas crowd that it’s not going away any time soon. Or, well, you could argue it said the opposite! Not in terms of

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Mini: Two-minute review The name of the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Mini appears to be a slapdash assortment of buzzwords, but it at least signals its intentions of being a rapid gaming mouse. HyperX claims it’s 16% smaller than the Pulsefire Haste 2, as well as being a few grams lighter

Naughty Dog’s canceled The Last of Us multiplayer game was reportedly deep into development before it was canceled, a decision that reportedly caused a stir at Sony.  That’s according to Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, who shared some insight into the scrapped project on the Friends Per Second podcast (via GamesRadar). While at first discussing the

The Borderlands movie is so trash, so bereft of merit, that it’s driven Borderlands refugees back to the old games. In the wake of the film’s release earlier this month we’ve seen player counts spike for Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands 3, as these poor souls search desperately for a reason to still care about

Two new games based on the Halloween series were announced yesterday, and one of them, a pixel art platformer, has already been revealed. Yesterday, Evil Dead: The Game developer Boss Team Games announced that it was working on two games based on the Halloween series, with one of them being developed in Unreal Engine 5,

Death Stranding 2 was revealed at The Game Awards 2022 and is set to follow on from what we think is one of the best PS4 games ever. While we’ve yet to receive concrete details relating to the Death Stranding 2 release date, we do know that it is officially titled Death Stranding 2: On

Fallout: London’s massive, but naturally there’s still some stuff that didn’t quite make it into the Fallout 4 mod. For example, in addition to the whole cut Wild Card questline that’ll be arriving in a future update, the team had a go at making rideable horses and bikes. Yep, if you’ve not run into Fallout:

“Don’t.” That’s the first thing Fallout: London project manager Dean ‘Prilladog’ Carter, through a cheeky grin and a chuckle, says when I ask him, aside from the obvious point of not being a modding novice, what advice he might give to someone who sees the massive Fallout 4 mod and decides to embark on a

WD Black P40 Game Drive: One-minute review The WD Black P40 Game Drive is an external SSD geared towards gamers. It’s compatible with PlayStation, Xbox, and PC and offers impressively fast file transfer speeds.

Everyone’s favourite witcher Geralt of Rivia will be in The Witcher 4… it’s just sounding like he won’t be the main character. When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first came out… almost 10 years ago (holy moly I’m getting old), it was clear by the end of the game that it was meant to be

The 10th anniversary of Life is Strange is fast approaching: in January next year it’ll have been a full decade since Max, Chloe, and co. first entered our lives and, in many cases, won our hearts. For many of us who really loved Life is Strange upon first encountering it, it’s fair to say that

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 Wireless: Two-minute review If there’s one thing SteelSeries has delivered on when it comes to the Arctis Nova 4, it’s the sound. This thing absolutely slaps when it comes to driving that audio. Bass is well-rounded, with a broad depth to it, without compromising on any of the mids or the

My skeleton has become detached from my body. It looks quite painful. Whenever I crouch, I find myself staring directly into a patch of my own crimson innards. I think it’s my ribcage, and it’s stopping me from being able to see the prison guards I’m trying to stealth kill from the first-person view. It’s
