HBO has released a new trailer for The Last of Us, its upcoming TV series based on the hit Naughty Dog game of the same name. And it looks awesome (and sad…very, very sad).  The show’s first bit of footage was released back in August and slowly, HBO has been revealing more and more about

Google have started issuing refunds for their recently canned game streaming service, Stadia.

Romance has never been Bethesda’s strong suit, from Skyrim‘s barebones marriage system to Fallout 4‘s bonus-XP-granting fade-to-black cutscenes. Starfield will be a little more nuanced than that, suggests executive producer Todd Howard, offering more complex romance options than Fallout’s. That’s just one detail from a nearly 3 hour-long interview Howard gave on the Lex Fridman

Final Fantasy XVI has received a few trailers throughout the year, and it’s set to hit PlayStation 5 and PC sometime next summer. But an exact release date is still unknown.

Somewhere in the region of 8,000 games have been removed from Steam since its inception, from the mass banning of “fake games”, to publishers removing their own titles due to licensing disputes, pending re-releases, personal disillusionment, server shutdowns and political scandals. Valve even took down one of its own games. Released in 2004 with Steam

When I gave you a sneak peek at 1/1, my cyberpunk novel about teens saving the future with NFTs, I could not possibly have predicted that Elon Musk would become a controversial figure. No one could.

While Valve have now released their own dock for the Steam Deck, the third-party alternatives which beat them to market are still worth considering. Chief among them is Jsaux’s line of Steam Deck compatible docks. If you decide you want something with a lower price than Valve’s official hardware, then you can currently find the

The Long Dark already offered an expansive survival game, including an open survival mode and many hours of a story campaign.

AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900X is an awesome gaming processor that also kicks a lot of butt in content creation tasks, but a high asking price means that it’s out of reach of many. However, that is slowly changing, with Black Friday Eve bringing a new low price on the high-end CPU: £475, down from a

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet sold more than 10 million combined units over its launch weekend, claiming the top spot for most three-day launch weekend software sales in Nintendo’s history. The number, which includes physical and downloadable copies as reported by Nintendo, already places Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in the top 15 best-selling Nintendo Switch titles

Age Of Empires 4 is the first RTS I’ve taken seriously. I’ve practised build orders, memorised specific civ counters, watched pro matches and agonised over key bindings. I have gone down into the nitty gritty of sheep micro, just to shear off microseconds from early villager gathering times, but I’ve never seen a good reason

A new Fire Emblem Engage trailer has detailed how players can summon ”Emblems,” characters from past Fire Emblem games. Units will be able to equip Engage Rings to gain the ability to gain the power of a hero, like Marth or Byleth.
