Red Dead Redemption 2 just got red-er, dead-er, and more redemption-y with a massive expansion mod that adds over 100 new quests to the game. It’s a real shame Rockstar Games didn’t support Red Dead Redemption 2 with much additional content after launch, though to be fair they haven’t really…
An extremely impressive mod for Elden Ring keeps making the rounds online… but for equally complimentary and controversial reasons. Garden of Eyes is a Bloodborne-inspired mod for Elden Ring, made by someone whose name doesn’t appear to be known to the general public. I say “someone” but the…

Doing the job that I do, reading certain articles and trawling social media on a daily basis, one thing is becoming more and more likely: GTA VI is never going to live up to expectations. Let’s look at this objectively and take in a few stats. GTA V has sold over 200 million units worldwide, which…
If you were to ask me if I like Grand Theft Auto, I’d give you a hearty yes. As a teenager when the original game dropped onto PC and PlayStation back in the 1990s, I played each title as the franchise evolved from a top-down arcade adventure to a fully-fledged 3D epic. When GTA IV came out in…

Black Myth: Wukong performed well critically, garnering a score of 82. With that in mind, it always felt like a game that was destined to somewhat perform well commercially. I say somewhat because let’s not forget that the game was marred with controversy, namely over influencers being told not to…
Sometimes, waiting before you cash in all those Xbox points pays off. Xbox users have been left in awe of one gamer’s financial savvy skills after said gamer ended up with $400 worth of free store credit. As distracting as it is to learn that a major 2024 Xbox release is headed to PlayStation, you…
As much as I enjoy exploring other genres, I always return to cosy games whenever the land calls to me to don my straw hat and wellies once more. Yet, as much as I love the good life it conveys, the genre has become stagnant of late. Too many developers have attempted to capture the magic that…
