Confirmation has landed at long last. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl should now run nicely on Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. The titles, which can be purchased via the Nintendo eShop, have struggled with compatibility issues since the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch in June of last year.…
Bethesda gamers are getting a Morrowind remake before The Elder Scrolls VI, but to be honest, I’m not complaining. Announced during E3 2018, when Bethesda revealed that The Elder Scrolls VI was in the works, it wasn't only those in attendance who were buzzing with excitement, but so was social…
A new tease for Cyberpunk 2 has seemingly confirmed that there won’t be a third person mode. At least, not yet. One big criticism of Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2020 was that while the game offered you a huge amount of freedom in the character creator, the lack of third-person view and cutscenes meant…
Die-hard Fallout lore enthusiasts aren’t too pleased with some of the big changes that the second season of Amazon’s Fallout TV series has already made to the pre-established canon, especially where Fallout: New Vegas is concerned. It’s understandable, and I can’t entirely say I disagree with a lot…
Steam has a reputation for being the best of the best when it comes to prices, making the upcoming Steam Machine slightly more appealing than a PlayStation or Xbox in my opinion. From the never-ending sales to occasional freebies Steam is a champion when it comes to saving you money, and it turns…
As someone who adores the classics with an extensive physical collection of retro video games, emulation has always been a bit of a mixed bag for me. Emulation can very quickly become piracy if it’s not done right, but when you follow the right pathways it can unearth thousands of hidden gems, each…
Putting aside my nostalgic feelings towards a SEGA Mega Drive or Nintendo 64 controller, in terms of functionality, the DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5 is one of the best controllers of all time, in my opinion. For starters, inspired by PlayStation controllers of previous generations,…
With each passing day I'm reminded by something that I'm getting older and older, and it seems video games are going to do their best to continue that trend for a while longer yet. We are very much in the remake and remaster era of video gaming history right now, with a ton of classic titles from…
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launched in 2023 and was a controversial release by Nintendo as many argued it wasn’t a worthy successor to its predecessor. When The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch in 2017 it seemingly altered the course of…
It’s a brand new year, and that means new free games up for grabs on Steam. Steam has thousands of games released on the platform each year, with many of them being released completely free. With so many free games coming to Steam every single week, it can be tricky to decipher what to play if…
Sony is not having the best start to 2026, as the ROM keys for the PlayStation 5 have been discovered and uploaded online. Earlier this week, somewhere around New Year's Eve, the console ROM keys for the PlayStation 5 were leaked onto a website that I am definitely not going to link here for very…
As a Halo fan I’ve got a love-hate relationship with Halo 2, and I don’t think I’m alone. It was quite the controversial game when it was released due to its split-protagonists, cliffhanger ending and obnoxiously tough Legendary difficulty…those damn sniper Jackals. Nevertheless I do find myself…
A new version of the Splinter Cell Enhanced mod has been released for the new year, and it might be a good reason to revisit the 2002 stealth classic. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is one of the best stealth games of all time, but it’s a little tricky to get into if you’re a new player approaching it…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was one of 2025’s biggest and best games, and with news of a live-action adaptation in the works, players have already put together their dream cast. In case you missed the news, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was a big deal last year. It got heaps of praise at launch, won…
Bloodborne on PC just hit a new major milestone, as online functionality has now become a reality. A few years ago, the mere idea of playing Bloodborne on PC was a simple pipe dream. With Sony seemingly uninterested in breaking the game out of PS4 jail, there was simply no other way to play it.…
PlayStation Plus has revealed the next batch of free games hitting the Essential tier in the new year. PlayStation Plus Essential always drops a handful of new free games on the service each month, giving you a little extra bang for your buck. Well, it’s that time again where Sony has revealed the…
It may feel as if Starfield has been abandoned, but that’s not at all the case; the game’s second expansion has been confirmed, although you’d be forgiven for not realising. Earlier this year, Bethesda celebrated the two year anniversary of Starfield by dropping a celebratory video. That video…
Stardew Valley’s 1.7 Update is officially in the works, so hopefully we’ll see that land in 2026. In the meantime though, if you want to infuse new life into developer Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone’s cosy titan, you may want to check out the ‘ValleyTalk’ mod. Developed by NexusMods user dandm1,…
If you’ve ever wondered what The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time might look like if it were developed in 2025, as opposed to in the mid 90s, then I have some great news for you. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the all-time greats for a reason, and, personally, I think it’s survived…
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but did you know The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim features a secret unlock based on The Legend of Zelda? The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now almost 15 years old, and in that time it’s been ported to a whole manner of different video game systems. You can play it on…
To multiplayer or not to multiplayer? That was seemingly the internal question asked at CD Projekt RED when Cyberpunk 2077 was in its development phase. However, with the Poland-based team planning to stick with single-player for the hit RPG, some fans were left feeling disappointed with the urge…
Christmas 2025 is officially over and although many of us have some incredible presents to show for it, others are left feeling the strain after splashing the cash on loved ones. Maybe you got a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X/S and want some incredible titles to go alongside them, or maybe you…
I am constantly running out of storage space on my PlayStation 5 console. I try to see the positives in that; running out of storage forces me to actually focus on finishing the games I’m pretty far into as I can’t really afford to have too many on the go at once. Every now and then though, I do…
It is the end of an era as one beloved ARC Raiders character seemingly gets the chop despite being in the game since its launch. To celebrate the launch of a brand-new Expedition in ARC Raiders, players have been offered the chance to receive a manual reset, allowing them to journey to a whole new…
