Alongside the Tour De France, I’m riding my own Tour De Jeux, a celebration of cycling in games and in life. Saddle up and join me! I had expected to dislike Riders Republic because Ubisoft’s marketing made the open-world xtreme sports game look like it was about gnarly middle-aged dudes with sikk lingo and twatty

According to some recent job postings on Respawn Entertainment’s career webpage, a new single-player FPS set in the Apex Legends universe is in early development. Eurogamer asks if this could be the long-awaited Titanfall 3 in disguise, but that remains to be seen since the posts don’t mention anything about the wall-running, mech warfare FPS.

Team Fortress 2 has received another update, one which apparently addresses “exploits and stability issues” with Valve’s aging but popular shooter. It’s the second TF2 update in as many weeks after the game’s players began protesting a lack of action to address the large number of exploits plaguing the game.

2022 is the year of golf, specifically wacky golf. Cursed To Golf leads the pack: it’s a 2D club ’em up in which you’re attempting to escape golf purgatory with the aid of supernatural power-ups. A new trailer brings news of its release date next month.

I swear I saw the logo for Small Claims Court and just thought, yeah, that seems like an indie game. Turns out it wasn’t, it was one of several pieces of “fake game art” created by Valve artist Claire Hummel as part of the Steam summer sale. Now that the sale is over, Hummel shared

Protect the innocent and uphold the law. That’s what Robocop is programmed to do, and you’ll soon get the chance to see the world through his visor in Robocop: Rogue City, a new game from developer Teyon and publisher Nacon. Peter Weller, the actor who became Robocop in the feature film, is reprising his role,

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is getting one of the best, and most underrated, Pokémon games from the Nintendo 64 library in Pokémon Puzzle League next week. On July 15, the Panel de Pon-style, tile-matching puzzle game joins the (gradually) growing roster of classic N64 games. Pokémon Puzzle League launched in 2000 and tells

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum’s long journey to release nears its end, and after getting a release date and story trailer in May, curious fans can finally see what gameplay looks like in a new video.  A short trailer provides a montage of the stealth-oriented gameplay as well as Gollum’s emphasis on climbing and

This is the problem with the cavalcade of games presented during Summer Games Fest: it’s easy to miss the gems among all the other gems. Schim was one I failed to spot entirely, despite our Ed placing it among the best games he played at the event in LA. It’s a bouncy puzzle adventure about

E3 will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center in 2023 during the second week of June after a three-year hiatus.  The last E3 event happened in 2019, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 event was canceled. It skipped out on 2021 and 2022 as well, but E3 is set to return next year,

With your help, I’m on a mission to answer the biggest question: what’s the best thing in video games? With a wholly sensical face-off between two things each week, we’ll surely soon discover the absolute best thing. Last time, you decided that secrets behind waterfalls are better than boss battles as skill checks. I’m not

In conjunction with revealing the release dates for Valkyrie Elysium, Square Enix also announced it’s bringing Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth to PlayStation consoles. Lenneth is the 2006 enhanced PSP port of the first Valkyrie Profile, which first arrived in North America in 2000. Lenneth came to mobile devices in 2018 but it hasn’t been available on

The Ryzen 5 5500 is one of AMD’s latest Ryzen 5000 processors, but a strong competing Intel lineup means it’s already gotten a 33% reduction on Amazon, dropping from £176 to £113. This six-core twelve-thread chip is a solid upgrade over the likes of the Ryzen 5 3600 from the previous generation, but mostly makes

I like anime, but I possibly like anime intros even more. At their best they’re a rush of style and energy, they often feature better animation than the show that follows, and they are regularly scored by first rate Japanese jazz, rock or blues tracks. Netflix just posted the intro to the upcoming Cyberpunk anime,

Ubisoft are switching off online services for several older singleplayer games, including Anno 2070, Far Cry 3, Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. For several of those games, that means that as of September 1st, “the installation and access to DLC will be unavailable,” according to an Ubisoft support page.

I can’t tell you how much I’d prefer to ignore brandter, in which corporate Twitter accounts pretend to be people with terrible senses of humour. Alas, in this instance I cannot. Yesterday EA tweeted a terrible meme and related it to single-player games, and in the process drew the ire of several current and former

The Tour De France, the grandest race in professional cycling, started today. Across three weeks, 176 cyclists will ride 3328 kilometres (2068 miles) winding through France, Denmark, Belgium, and Switzerland, including the Alps and Pyrenees. As a keen cyclist and avid Tour watcher myself, I’m excited. So in celebration, over the coming weeks I’ll be

Starting a cult isn’t easy work, but somebody’s got to do it in Massive Monster’s Cult of the Lamb, which hits consoles and PC next month. Fortunately, the team behind the devilishly cute game has released a new trailer with tips and tricks to start, and maintain, the best cult. The first step is simple:
