I’m a simple man. If I catch a whiff of a game that gives off even the slightest hint of Game Boy Advance vibes, I cling to it faster than a wet shower curtain. Last year’s Sea Of Stars hit that nostalgic sweet spot for me, offering up an adventure that paid tribute to its influences while…
In the 90s, no end of films came out that changed the way we look at the world. You could argue that Toy Story changed how we eyed our eyes with scrunity, but for me, it was Small Soldiers. Seeing toys get into such heated battles like that, and in a live action setting, captured my imagination…
Remedy Entertainment had a pretty successful 2023. I say that with trepidation because while Alan Wake 2 was a major critical success, scooping up an array of award wins, it hasn’t yet proved to be a financial success. As of the beginning of February 2024, the game had shifted just 1.3 million…
Who wants a freebie for Nintendo Switch? If so, then this might be the story for you especially if you’re a fan of football. The FIFA series from Electronic Arts has been one of the most popular franchises in the video game industry since the release of FIFA International Soccer in 1993 and since…
It’s always nice to receive a freebie unless that freebie is a slap in the face with a wet kipper. In that case, you can keep that freebie to yourself. Being a subscriber to PlayStation Plus, as with Xbox Game Pass, not only do we have access to hundreds of video games at a press of a button but we…
Any old video game can keep you playing for hours on end by simply offering you a good time. Rare is the game that pushes you to the brink of mental exhaustion, punishes you disproportionately for the smallest mistakes, has you storm away from your controller in a genuine rage, and yet still…
Whenever I’m cooking, I turn into Gordan Ramsey the moment someone steps into my kitchen, their mere presence a disruption to the delicate environment I’ve carefully choreographed for myself. As a result, the notion of me readily eating up the opportunity to play PlateUp! seems like a poor…
To celebrate Lara Croft’s birthday on 14 February, Crystal Dynamics gave us our first look at the redesigned archeologist ready for Tomb Raider to make a return later this year. It has been almost six years since Crystal Dynamics released Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the last instalment in the Tomb…
It’s been a while since PocketPair dropped a new player total for surprise hit Palworld, which may be a sign that growth is beginning to slow and numbers are starting to stabilise. That being said, Palworld still boasts an absolutely enormous player base with high expectations of the game. Already,…
There is so much to explore in the survival game, Palworld, but not everything is explained in totality. Even things as simple as how to get Pal Fluid can be confusing, which lends itself to discovering hidden features as people continue to experiment and explore in the open-world title. Some of…
Fans can claim a free Xbox Series S and other freebies just for upgrading their internet, phones or TV channels as part of a new deal from Virgin Media. The Xbox Series S is the more affordable version of Microsoft’s new-gen consoles, and while it doesn’t pack the same punch as the more expensive…
PlayStation Plus got a makeover in 2022, when the subscription service was split into three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Essential is the cheapest option and gives you access to online features, plus a handful of free games each month. Extra costs a little more and gets you everything that…
Alright, you horny lot, I’ve been putting in the hours, in more ways than one, to determine which characters are the easiest to woo into bed in Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s been time-consuming, but some poor soul has to do it, and, because I’m so selfless, I nominated my beautiful Tav to take on this…
Do you remember when The Elder Scrolls VI was announced? If not, we wouldn't blame you. The Elder Scrolls VI was revealed at E3 2018, long before Microsoft acquired Bethesda's parent company, ZeniMax Media, which gives you an indication of how much things have changed since its reveal. Check out…
You may have assumed that Jason and Lucia are the stars of the brand new GTA VI trailer and while that’s technically true, fans cannot stop laughing at ‘hammer lady’ for lack of a better name. In case you missed it, the GTA VI trailer is now available. Yes, it was due to originally release in, at…
For 20 years, the Call of Duty franchise has been a leader of the first-person shooter genre with no signs of slowing down. Well, that is perhaps until the arrival of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Back when the first Call of Duty arrived in 2003, it was a much simpler time. The first three…
One Call of Duty player has rammed their PlayStation 4 controller through the TV during a sudden fit of rage. Oops. While I’m sure we all relate to feeling the occasional surge of gaming rage, I doubt the vast majority of you launch your controllers at the TV. Personally, my rage lasts for all of…
Nintendo has always been a champion of making games that put a smile on our faces, and continue to push the boundaries of creativity and fun. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is no exception, in fact, I'd call it Nintendo's best work in years. The plot is pretty simple, Bowser is up to no good again, but…
The John Wick franchise has been released over a decade chronologically, but the in-universe timeline differs significantly. Each installment built on the intricate lore and world-building that made the series so unique. Here, the full timeline is presented, both chronologically and how it pertains…
If you own a PlayStation 5, chances are you’re craving yet another State of Play event. With the previous two editions both largely focusing on third-party titles, we have no idea what’s coming up in Sony’s first-party slate beyond the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. It’s a very odd situation to…
Leaked gameplay footage from GTA VI showing off the game's unreal loading times and seamless transitions between the main characters has fans super excited for the finished product. GTA VI was officially announced as in development back in February 2022, and it was recently suggested we can expect…
Much like any grandiose Bethesda RPG for those just starting out, Starfield can throw a lot at its players as they venture out to explore its vast starmap. But before charting such a path, the usual character creation ritual must first ensue, with a surprisingly enriching experience waiting…
If there’s one thing we’re not short of in the year of our lord 2023, it’s open-world RPGs. You can’t move for the little blighters. It takes a lot, then, for a new title to step into that crowded arena and make us sit up and take notice. But Where Winds Meet might have just stolen Gamescom for me.…
Fans are continued to be left in the dark as to when the next entry in the ever-popular GTA series will arrive, but is that about to change? Grand Theft Auto VI was announced by Rockstar Games back in February 2022, but since that time, we’ve heard nothing about the highly anticipated sequel. At…
