The Thing video game adaptation was an ambitious but flawed title, so Nightdive is hoping to help realise what it could have been. John Carpenter’s The Thing was originally released back in 1982, but 20 years later Computer Artworks opted to make a sequel to the classic movie in video game form. It sold well

Here’s your Connections puzzle for Sunday from the NYT. It’s hard, as always, but not so tricky as some are – and I have hints if you need some below. What should you do once you’ve finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I’ve also got daily Wordle hints and answers, Strands hints

Dragon Age: The Veilguard (God, I really dislike that title change) is almost here, finally. After an early scare because of a slightly confusing first trailer, that gameplay demo quelled many of our worries, but can it really escape Baldur’s Gate 3’s shadow? I’m of the striking opinion that it already has… kind of. It’s

PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds: Two-minute review The PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds are excellent gaming earbuds that are easy to recommend. If you’re on PlayStation 5, PlayStation Portal, or PC you won’t find better-sounding earbuds.  The sound quality is simply superb. I’ve never heard such clear, detailed, rich, and high-quality audio from a pair of earbuds

It’s being reported that Sony is drastically scaling back its funding for PSVR 2 as well as first-party VR games for the headset. The report comes from Android Central, where it’s claimed that sources close to the outlet are suggesting that Sony is “making deep cuts” to VR game funding internally. Additionally, a second source

As you might have seen, when the reviews of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree came out the other day, it snatched the title of most highly rated DLC ever among reviewers on Metacritic. The Witcher 3‘s brilliant Blood and Wine expansion was the foe it surpassed to earn that honour, and now developer CD

Following Microsoft’s shuttering of a bunch of studios last month, including Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Redfall studio Arkane Austin, Xbox’s execs have been asked a few times – as you’d hope – which that call was made. Matt Booty’s the latest to talk about it with regards to Tango in particular, and his

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 just got a brand-new gameplay trailer ahead of the game’s launch later this year. First announced back in 2021, the upcoming third-person shooter hack-n-slash has been a long time coming, following its most recent delay. But with only a couple of months left until the game’s release, today (June 20),

Look, make sure you’ve got some tissues ready before you read this. Helldivers 2‘s poor spear. Up until the game’s most recent updates, the aiming on it was broken, and a loyal legion who love stabbing stuff spent ages praying and badgering Arrowhead to fix it for them. The developer did. But now the poor

Aurora has just been announced officially as the next big champion release for League of Legends. As an AP carry with a focus on confusing enemies and quickly roaming around the map for skirmishes, she looks to be an absolute powerhouse. I was able to try out the champion earlier this month firsthand, and can

I played a few games of Marvel Rivals at Summer Game Fest 2024 earlier this month, and came away thoroughly disappointed. It’s a competent enough team-based third-person shooter, and one with real appeal for Marvel fans, but it’s a shadow on the wall compared to other competitors in the same genre. Let’s break down how,

The development of DLC-sized Fallout New Vegas mod Fallout Nuevo Mexico has been officially confirmed to be “on hold”, about two months after the mod ‘went dark’, with its YouTube channel, Twitter account and Discord server either having some content removed or ceasing to see regular updates. If you’re out of the loop, Nuevo Mexico

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree managed to get me excited about a tiny golden circle in the corner of a screen. Not an epic boss, beautiful vista or stunning revelation, but the non-combat area icon, suggesting I might get to learn just a little bit more about this dark, vast and scary world. FromSoftware
