The Crazy Taxi series was a consistent success for Sega during the turn of the century. Debuting in arcades before making its way to consoles, the series tasks the player with venturing around massive cityscapes and picking up passengers to drop them off. The series leans into absurdity for the…
1996 was a banner year for video games. We were treated to all-timers like Super Mario 64, Duke Nukem 3D, Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil, Pokémon Red/Blue, Tomb Raider, and Quake. Just an absolute murderer’s row of beloved games that have easily stood the test of time. However, those high-profile…
Auroch Digital and Big Fan Games have confirmed award-winning composer Mick Gordon has contributed a new track to its upcoming ’90s-inspired boomer shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2. The first taste of the original track can be heard behind today’s new release date trailer for Boltgun 2, which is…
Crocs and Konami have revealed a new line of clogs inspired by the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game and anime series. The collaboration was shown off in a display case ahead of this year's Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship in Tokyo. The line will seemingly include four new pairs of Crocs, two standard and two…

Here’s something I never thought I’d say: the upcoming Call of Duty game is now available to preorder for a Nintendo console. Granted, Microsoft said it would do this, but hearing it and seeing it are two different things. The game in question is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and the Nintendo…
If you’d told me two years ago that Nintendo and FromSoftware would team up on an online PvPvE Switch 2 exclusive that’s also kind of a spiritual successor to Bloodborne, my first reaction would have been, “it’s called the Switch 2??” But jokes aside, I would’ve found this collaboration hard to…
It has been a long time since a soulslike truly humbled me. After a decade of playing FromSoftware’s games and their flock of imitators, I’ve earned a more-than-solid understanding of how to achieve victory without hurling a controller into the TV. It turns out there is some truth in the…
Image courtesy of Xbox When District 9 premiered in 2009, few expected an alien-apartheid thriller to become one of the defining science fiction films of the 2000s. Neill Blomkamp, a South African-born visual effects artist making his feature directing debut, built the story around Wikus van de…
Final Fantasy VII Revelation is available to wishlist on all major platforms, and fans have noticed that its pending rating on the Xbox store is a bit more intense than they expected. Set to release in Spring 2027, the last entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy wraps up the saga for Cloud…
Key Preview Takeaways: The scale and detail of the battles simultaneously is very impressive. Being able to jump into a commander at ground level for more of a third-person action mode is really cool. It's got plenty of cool stuff but it'll put the "early" in Early Access if you decide to jump in…
Key Preview Takeaways: I only got to try the 1v1 Skirmish mode on two different maps. Visually, War for Westeros adopts the look and feel from the show, with heroes like Jon Snow and Tywin Lannister both looking like their respective actors. The camera was problematic in my preview build. Having…
Prior to its upcoming gameplay preview that will debut on Netflix, Rockstar Games has revealed some new story and character details from Grand Theft Auto 6. Over the past week, numerous gameplay clips of GTA 6 have leaked online, much to Rockstar’s disappointment. With the studio now finally…
Frosthaven is one of the best board games on the market. It served as a follow up to the immensely popular Gloomhaven board game, and is one of the most imposing dungeon-delving board games you can buy. It's also really quite expensive. It's not often that we see any sort of discount on this game,…
Some of the first gameplay details for Grand Theft Auto 6 have been confirmed, and it seems like Rockstar is embracing a more RPG-type style this time around. As part of a cover story for Dazed magazine, Rockstar Games revealed heaps of new information about Grand Theft Auto 6. Arguably the most…

TechRadar Verdict As a prequel to Asobo Studio's pair of popular A Plague Tale games, Resonance takes the risk of not only introducing a new protagonist, but significantly switching up the franchise's enduring gameplay formula. Forgoing the stealth, survival, and relentless rat swarms the series is…
Publishing platform indie.io will be on hand at gamescom and PAX West in the coming weeks, and it’s bringing six games for people to try out in person. But if you’re not one of the lucky people who can be there yourself, don’t worry: all six games have free demos you can play on Steam right now, no…
I tend to appreciate risky new ideas over safe sequels, so I was pretty interested to see what the Plague Tale series would be like without its signature tornadoes of man-eating rats. But while Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy makes plenty of intriguing changes, like its focus on a different…
We got off to such a great start this year, with a ton of PC games that looked great and still ran well on pretty much any hardware. One of the common themes among games like Crimson Desert, Resident Evil Requiem, and Forza Horizon 6 was that none of them were running on Unreal Engine 5. And just…
Courtesy of Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment Despite bearing the A Plague Tale name and starring a familiar face, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes the franchise somewhere new. In this prequel to the original games, players step into the shoes of Sophia before she was an established…
