Until we worked in the games industry, many of us almost never played a video game in the year it was released: they’re expensive, there’s a lot of them, and they can be very time-consuming, so there are plenty of good reasons to leave it a while — even, potentially, a few years — before

I can’t wait to see the looks on their goofy little faces. As my red and white interstellar sleigh streaks across the starry sky towards Jemison, I stare out at the train of alien reindeer – headed up by an Aceles with a red nose – stretching out in front of my modded ship’s cockpit.

Well, for the six of you who kept asking, Merry Christmas. For this festive episode on VG247’s Best Games Ever Show, Tom and Jim are reunited with friends and former colleagues Simon Miller and Steve Burns. Since they all parted ways from their infamous stint at VideoGamer.com, Simon has gone on to become a professional

New draft regulations from China’s National Press and Publication Administration (PPA) may spell trouble for the countries gacha game industry. These new regulations have three goals: to prohibit encouraging daily logins and / or spending, to warn players of “irrational consumption behavior”, and to limit how much time and money players can spend in-game. While

Let’s not beat around the bush; the Razer Fujin Pro is one of the best gaming chairs we’ve tested here at TechRadar Gaming. It’s an exceptionally comfortable chair that provides solid back, neck, and lumbar support thanks to its breathable mesh surface and intelligently designed ergonomics. As a result, it’s a chair we can recommend

In this job, you spend a lot of the time at the end of the year in a retrospective frame of mind, reconsidering everything that’s crossed your desk. What are the highlights, the lowlights, and the memorable moments? We’ve covered a lot of that in our Alternate Game Awards and in our more serious GOTY

Surprise, surprise. Rebecca’s Game of the Year is Baldur’s Gate 3, and can we blame her? Not at all, especially considering that the majority of folk agreed with her when Baldur’s Gate 3 took home the GOTY award at The Game Awards. And the rest of us at VG247 can scarcely disagreee with her, despite

The CEO of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, is officially stepping down from his role later this month, it’s been confirmed.  After it was announced that Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard had been closed, Kotick stated that he was “fully committed to helping with the transition,” and would stay as the CEO of the company, reporting

Those that have a hankering for robotic meats won’t find the upcoming Horizon cookbook useful, but everyone else who likes regular food might. Earlier this week, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West developer Guerrilla games revealed that an official Horizon cookbook is coming next year. Titled Tastes of the Seven Tribes, a description of the

Rocksteady has announced that the Epic Games Store version of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed. “The release for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on the Epic Games Store is now March 5, 2024,” wrote Rocksteady in its Discord channel (via Eurogamer). As of writing, the game’s store page on the

In a year of wall to wall bangers, with at least one genuine GOTY candidate coming along every week, it’s surely impossible to pick one overall game of the year. So you should disregard any website that tries, and just listen to us. Elevating any one entry on 2023’s golden roster would do a disservice

Disney has confirmed its release schedule for titles arriving next year, and with Andor nowhere to be seen, it seems like the series has been pushed out of 2024. Sorry to say it, Andor fans, but it looks like those of you hoping to see the second season of the popular Star Wars series sometime

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone are getting the festive treatment with the latest ‘Codmas’ holiday event. Starting today (December 19) through to January 3, players can jump into the shooter and experience a new set of seasonal maps and modes and be rewarded with a host of unique prizes

2023 was, for better or worse, a year. One of its good bits was The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, the only good game that came out in August. Ahem. Much like that other story-driven masterpiece I’ve sneakily alluded to there (Baldur’s Gate 3, just in case you’re reading this before 8AM) Cosmic’s main draw lies in

I still think about that one Final Fantasy Versus 13 trailer. You know the one, that first time Square Enix really showed off the supposed Final Fantasy 13 spin-off in full for the first time. The opening shot of a sleepy Noctis being driven into a modern day city, the blend of fantasy creatures and

Surprise! Out of nowhere, FromSoftware has announced that a brand new update is being rolled out for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon tomorrow (December 19), which will add ranked player vs player (PvP) matchmaking to the game alongside some brand new maps to duke it out in. In a new trailer posted to YouTube

Good news, sweaty mech pilots, Armored Core 6 is getting ranked online matches as part of a fresh update tomorrow, so you can spend Christmas absolutely merking some poor fools. Yup, FromSoft is dropping patch 1.05 for the game on December 19 and it features ranked online play with a leaderboard of some kind, which

We have a lot of guests on the VG247 podcast because we know a lot of Games Media Personalities and most of them are too polite and/or socially inept to say “no” when we ask them to be on our podcast. In the last year we’ve had such Talented Greats as Mike Channel from Outside
