Do you remember March this year, a period of time that simultaneously feel like it took place both five minutes and and entire century ago? Dragon’s Dogma 2 came out during it, and it might be worth giving a go now of you haven’t thanks to to a big patch and free trial. If you

Back in 2002, Iron Maiden released one of their now numerous ‘greatest hits’ albums, Edward the Great. Kicking off with Run to the Hills and ending with the iconic Rock in Rio version of Fear of the Dark, the album was my first taste of Maiden’s extensive back catalogue. It was hypnotic to me, delicious,

I’ve made the mistake of underestimating HoYoverse games before. When Honkai: Star Rail launched last year, I approached it very much with the assumption that Genshin Impact had been lightning in a bottle — a one-off banger that I was happy to make the sole exception to the rule that I had no interest in

“There’s before 2024, and after 2024”. That’s the main message from Brazil’s first ever Gamescom, Gamescom Latam. The traditionally German show teamed up with BIG – a storied, local festival in Brazil – to really show off what Brazil can do on the global stage. And at the opening night of the show, the organisers

In light of some chat about fresly datamined Termind models finding their way into the game’s Discord server, a community manager for Helldivers 2 has emphasised to players why it doesn’t acknowledge or take questions on leaks like this via official channels. In recent months, a fair few models and images seemingly lurking in the

Right, I’ve got a lot of racing to do for reasons we’ll get into soon, so I’ll make this quick. Forza Horizon 4 is getting delisted from online storefronts on both Xbox and PC in December this year, Playground Games has announced, citing licensing and agreements with partners as the reason it’s being taken down.

One Piece season 2 is yet to start filming, but it has just added a fresh batch of pirates for Luffy and co to take down. With the live-action adaptation One Piece being as successful as it was, it wasn’t much of a surprise when Netflix quickly renewed it for a second season. Not a

Modders add a lot of cool stuff to their various games of choice, and this might be one of the coolest additions I’ve seen for any game in a while. A relatively new Baldur’s Gate 3 mod casually gives the RPG an entire new mode, which allows you and your party to battle through waves

One-minute review The GameSir Kaleid fixes one of the few problems I had with its predecessor, the GameSir T4 Kaleid (for the sake of simplicity, I’ll refer to it as the ‘T4’ from now on): it lacked compatibility with Xbox consoles, despite having the console’s ‘ABXY’ face button layout. Now, GameSir has released a version

I have a lot of time for Terra Nil. I’ve written about it before and extolled its virtues as a city-builder that doesn’t do things by the book. It felt pertinent and relevent in 2023, and even more so as scorching heat waves cause chaos in 2024. It might be one of the most ecologically-aware

Your prayers have been answered. A fully functional virtual IKEA – yes the Swedish flat-pack furniture shop – opens in Roblox today, with ten people having earned the jobs that were on offer to work in it. Those jobs, in case you were wondering, recieved “over 178,000” applications. If you’re out of the loop, first

Turtle Beach Stealth 600: one-minute review It’s easy to make a premium headset – just pile on the features and get everything hand-made by artisans. Hitting the sub-$100 price point in 2024 as the Turtle Beach Gen 3 Stealth 600 does is much tougher. But if you’re keen to stick to that budget for your
