If you’re as old as me, there’s a decent chance you grew up with a PS1 and a particularly revered 3D platformer: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. Now 27 years on from the game’s 1997 release, original developer Argonaut has been resurrected, and its first project back from the dead is a remaster of the

Soaring above the landscape of Fera: The Sundered Tribes, I spot a hulking, icy, behemoth roaming the wetlands below. It doesn’t look that big from up here, but I quickly find out it’s just far away. Slamming down towards the clearing, I land a solid blow on the beast, but it’s only wounded and it’s

In case you’ve not been keeping tabs on the live service space in recent years, it’s a bloodbath. A feast or famine venture where developers can either bring home some serious crash (see Helldivers 2), or drown in tumultuous waters like the recently released and often mocked Concord. For every game that succeeds, there are

CD Projekt Red has provided an update on the development of The Witcher 4 and the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. In a new press release looking back on the studio’s financial report for the first half of the year, joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said that CD Projekt Red is now “gearing up to begin the full-fledged production

I’ve been saying it for years: the only things Animal Crossing is missing are rocket boots and superpowers. Okay, I’ve not been saying that – but now that I’ve seen it’s a thing, I’m quietly obsessed. Floatopia, a free-to-play Animal Crossing-like from NetEase Games, is like a toybox life sim crossed with that anime trope

Razer Wolverine V3 Pro: One-minute review Whether you play on Xbox or PC (or both), the new Razer Wolverine V3 Pro controller is a must-own if you’re looking for a seriously premium gamepad. The brand’s penchant for top-notch build quality is here, but that was also true of its predecessor, the Wolverine V2 Pro. However,

Everybody Still Hates Chris, the animated continuation of 2000s sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, finally has a release date. You can only wonder how long people could hate Chris Rock for, but as it turns out, it’s quite a while, as people are continuing to hate him in the upcoming Comedy Central show. Earlier this week,

The latest reports on a potential PS5 Pro are stating that the mid-gen refresh console is still on track for a release this year and yes, it’ll likely cost you an arm and a leg. As reported by GameSpot, the reports come from reporter Jeff Grubb, who spoke about the PS5 Pro in a recent

Mountaintop Studios has officially announced the launch day of its debut title, Spectre Divide. The free-to-play shooter arrives next week – on Tuesday, September 3 on Steam. Spectre Divide comes from a team of Riot, Bungie and Respawn veterans and brings a new twist to the competitive shooter formula. Having recently wrapped up a couple

What makes a good arcade racing game in 2024? Aiming to be a bit like what the Forza Horizon series has morphed into, aside from the whole open-world thing? Yeah, alright. This, I’d assume, may well have been the conversation that took place when Milestone began putting together its plans for Monster Jam Showdown. Showdown

Sony has announced a new way for users to customize their DualSense Edge controller on PC. As revealed in a new X / Twitter post today, PC players will now be able to fully customize their DualSense Edge controller directly from their desktop thanks to the brand-new PlayStation Accessories app. With this app, which you

Okay imagine this. A 26-year-old big, bearded man walks through Gamescom – having drunk three Red Bulls and smoked five cigarettes – and stumbles towards the Infinity Nikki booth. It’s this massive, adorable set-up with rows of PCs along cutesy white booths. I hop right in, finding myself in control of a young lady, as

The latest PlayStation-published live-service shooter Concord is here, and launch numbers are looking pretty bad so far. When it comes to concurrent player counts, numbers don’t always matter, particularly for single-player games, but live-service titles are a different story. Valve’s new hero shooter Deadlock, which it finally officially revealed last week, had a concurrent player

Sabacc cards on the table first, right: Star Wars Outlaws won’t win many Game of the Year awards. There are a lot of reasons for this, not least because there have been other major releases this year which have been bolder, better marketed, or which have advanced the medium in some exciting way. Other major

Thrustmaster T-GT II: One-minute review The mid-range of the best racing wheels is a tricky space where competing technologies vie for space, but Thrustmaster makes a compelling argument with a wheel, wheelbase, and pedals bundled for $799.99 / £699.99.  That’s a lot pricier than Logitech’s all-conquering G923 bundle, but the advantages are clear: a quick-release
