Aphelion is not at all what I expected, but that’s not a criticism. In fact, its unique blend of inspirations has truly captured my imagination. French developer Don’t Nod has a wonderful habit of surprising me. It’s a studio perhaps best known for its choice-based formula. Projects like Life is…
If someone told me that Half-Life 2 is playable on a smartwatch, I don't know what I'd say. It's happened with DOOM, it could happen with anything. Half-Life 2 is widely considered to be one of the great video games of all time, as reflected by its 96 Metacritic score. When it was first released on…
Ghost of Yotei is getting its long-awaited free ‘Legends’ DLC, and it arrives much sooner than you might think. Ghost of Yotei was one of my favourite games of 2025 and, in my humble opinion, was almost on par with Ghost of Tsushima. While expanding on its core gameplay and visuals, Ghost of Yotei…
Steam gamers may want to keep their eye on the store later this month, as hundreds of free game demos will be going live later this month. Several times a year, Valve runs Steam Next Fest as a way to get eyes on upcoming games and developer showcases. Steam Next Fest usually always features…
"Лично мне врезалась в память одна безумная деталь: он [Сайлас] всегда работал с двумя мониторами и двумя клавиатурами, одна лежала поверх другой. Одна громадная рука набирала код на одной клавиатуре, а другая что-то печатала на другой. Я такого в нашей сфере никогда не видел, ни до, ни после.…
New details have leaked regarding a new and much-needed improvement to the already fantastic Xbox controller. Over the years, we’ve had some wonderful controllers and, on the flipside, some truly atrocious ones too. However, other than the chunky Duke controller from the original Xbox, Microsoft's…
Guerrilla Games may have just quietly confirmed that Horizon 3 is on the way, which could be Aloy’s epic finale. After months of speculation, Sony PlayStation and Guerrilla Games finally revealed the Horizon multiplayer spin-off, which we now know is called Horizon Hunters Gathering. Horizon…
A new Skyrim mod re-adds a cut quest into the game, which should fill your time while waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the biggest games we’ve ever played, with hundreds of hours of content available at your fingertips, plus plenty of reasons to revisit with…
HBO’s The Last of Us is reportedly set to start filming its third season very soon with both Bella Ramsey (Ellie) and Kaitlyn Dever (Abby) having confirmed they’ve seen the scripts. In line with The Last of Us Part II, season three is due to tell Abby’s side of the events in Seattle, although that…
The PlayStation 5 has tons of features that we might not know about or even forgotten about, and we’ll let you know what some of them are. Arguably, in terms of a technical perspective, Sony’s PlayStation 5 is its best machine to date. It’s capable of an 8K resolution at 120 frames-per-second, it…
Xbox users can claim a month of Game Pass for free, giving access to hundreds of titles; no payment required. There’s no denying that financially, many of us have struggled, especially in recent years. Whether it’s everyday household bills, commuting, price hikes to Netflix and Disney Plus, it…
If you feel like you need a reason to jump into Starfield again, but there’s nothing currently pulling you back to the game, then the community has just the right recommendation for you. Bethesda gets a lot of stick for the way Starfield turned out. Sorry, that was the end of that sentence.…

I love playing video games, but I love playing video games more when it’s with my friends. So all of this “friendslop” discourse that's been circulating the internet over the last month or so doesn’t bother me in the slightest. “Friendslop” is a new term that’s being used to describe multiplayer…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
Before Avengers: Doomsday, there was Avengers: The Kang Dynasty which aimed to welcome back Kang the Conqueror as the next major villain. However, following allegations of assault, Kang actor Jonathan Majors was fired by Disney leading to the total overhaul of the Avengers franchise. Instead, it…
