Check out the video above for an in-depth appraisal of this very unique adventure, in which we ask the question: is it still possible for games to surprise us?The high-tech world of game development has long had a fruitful creative partnership with the low-tech world of clay people being poked around all day in order to simulate movement. In the world of film, too, stop motion animation always seems to endure, despite the fact that it must be one of the hardest and most arduous ways of get...
2XKO is firmly in its pre-release hype stage. People out there are fiending for the game, but unlike the past few years where information was drip-fed to keen fans every year or so, updates are coming firm and fast. The game is even coming to Evo Japan this weekend! Music to your ears, I'm sure.Speaking of, I sat down and spoke to a certain member of the 2XKO sound team last month that you may be familiar with. Creator of tracks including Bury the Light and Devil Trigger from Devil May Cry V -...
Fallout. It's a series of games about what happens when someone pushes that big red button to drop the nukes, damning an alternate timeline version of humanity to spend an eternity doing fun little quests among the rubble. Within that, there's scope for some of the best RPG fun you can get, no matter what kind of fun it is that you're looking for in an RPG.We've all thought about what'd happen if the bombs were to actually fall, and since 1997, first Interplay and Black Isle, now Bethesda -...
No matter whether you're a big car nerd who loves playing around with setups, or are just hopping in for a quick race against your mates, how the cars feel to drive in an F1 game is pretty key. After all, what you're hoping for in both cases is to get a taste of the same sensation the likes of Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton enjoys as they sweep through turns and blast down straights.We recently had a chance to see what EA Sports F1 24, the latest game in Codematers' long-running series, has...
The first full Deadpool & Wolverine trailer is here, and yes, even though you've probably already seen it, the trailer finally shows what Hugh Jackman looks like in that iconic suit. Back in February, when the teaser trailer dropped for Deadpool & Wolverine, it only offered us Jackman's shadow, suggesting that Marvel wasn't quite ready to give everyone a look at that classic yellow suit in action just yet. Of course, most of us had already seen it thanks to set photos being shared around, but...
Why is everyone so interested in Manor Lords? The game, an ambitious city builder/RTS hybrid, attempts to simulate how medieval towns were constructed by embracing organic layouts and doing away with the grid systems common in the genre. And, today, it hit 3 million wishlists on Steam – that's no mean feat. It's currently above even Hades 2. That's impressive. Its trailers have been attractive, interesting, and intriguing – but there's something else to the game's rampant success. It's 2022...
If you were worried that Stellar Blade and its… well, particular proclivities, would be censored in some way, you don't need to be. Stellar Blade is a bit of a hot button topic at the moment, mostly because its protagonist looks like she's wearing the tightest piece of clothing ever invented, showing off certain rotund areas that are quite obviously designed to make the player horny as hell. You might wonder then if the game would be somewhat censored, reducing those industry staple jiggle...
Following Amazon's Fallout TV show, folks have been hopping en masse back into their favorite games in the series.

A recently published patent from Sony has revealed that the company is considering introducing a method to let your games play themselves. Have you ever thought to yourself, "wow, I sure do wish that my game would just play itself so I can get this annoying grinding out the way and, I dunno, do my taxes or something else adults do in the meantime"? Well, first of all, maybe consider playing a different game, but if you're determined to stick with it, I have some (potentially) good news for...
No Rest for the Wicked developer Moon Studios is seemingly living up to the game’s name. Shortly after the Early Access launch of the action RPG, the team got to work on tackling some of the more common complaints.While the majority of the big issues remain unresolved, Moon already released not one, but two hotfixes just over the weekend.
Embracer Group is no more, as the company has made the decision to split into three separate entities, with various developers divided up amongst them. For the last year or so, it's not been a great time to be a part of Embracer Group. There have been almost 1400 staff laid off across various studios, and several closures too. Saber founder Matthew Karch doesn't think Embracer is evil, just a company "that everyone likes to pick on," despite the fact it spent ridiculous amounts of money on...
