    Xbox is giving away a custom Fallout-themed Series X that will surely survive the apocalypse

    If you're a Fallout fan and you would like a custom Xbox Series X, then you might want to check out the giveaway Xbox is currently holding. Prime Video's Fallout TV show is basically right around the corner, and as part of building hyper for the upcoming series, Xbox has teamed up with the streaming service to make "the world's first vault for an Xbox." Now, this is obviously quite a bold claim and to be perfectly honest isn't necessarily verifiable, however, the resulting custom...

    Uh oh, things don't sound great for the PS VR2 as production is reportedly paused to help shift a backlog of headsets

    Remember the PlayStation VR2? No? That's understandable, as it seems that Sony is struggling enough to sell units that it's reportedly paused production on them. In all its years and forms, virtual reality has never really managed to properly take off, and it seems like the PS VR2 is much the same. A recent report from Bloomberg has claimed that Sony has apparently paused production of its PS VR2 headset because it has a backlog of units that it hasn't managed to sell yet. According to...

    20 years on, Katamari Damacy is still the most "video game" video game there is

    People who played games from a young age often don't really understand how difficult games are. You do actually have to learn how to play them, and having spent time with adults that didn't grow up playing them trying to adjust to using dual analogue stick controllers, it's interesting to watch them figure out how to move about in 3D spaces. Thankfully, there's a type of games that I like to call gateway games that often help people understand games as a whole. These can come in a lot of...

    Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's own Aerith shares her take on gaming's longest running shipping war

    Arguing over who Cloud ends up with is a tale as old as time, but the voice actor behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Aerith has her own take on the debate. The younger Final Fantasy 7 fans out there, including myself, won't really remember what the shipping wars were like back in the day. It was a warzone, from what I can tell, with people constantly in disagreement over whether Cloud should be with Aerith or Tifa. None of the extended Final Fantasy 7 material has ever really settled on an...

    Stardew Valley's next update will let you drink mayonnaise, and I do not like that

    Stardew Valley is soon set to receive its 1.6 update, and apparently you'll be able to drink mayonnaise. Look, I love mayo. I know you lot over in the US mostly use it for sandwiches, but it's simply the best condiment for fries and fried chicken. It comes in countless varieties and flavours, and even your bog standard mayo differs from country to country. I realise this is incredibly white of me to say, but I've got five different kinds in my fridge right now, so that have a different type...

    Good news, Helldivers 2’s galactic war is going pretty well right now! As of writing, folks are on the verge of finally securing Draupnir, though, as always, this success has been accompanied by a bit of anxiety regarding what big twist the conflict could have in store next. It’s looking like the answer could be a returning faction from the first Helldivers game.This is a bit of a shift from the major sources of worry throughout most of last week, which were mostly bug-related, as the massive...

    Bandai Namco celebrates Katamari Damacy's 20th anniversary by opening a Twitter account

    It's the 20th anniversary of one of the best games ever made today, Katamari Damacy, so what better way to celebrate than by opening a Twitter account? In the ancient year of 2004, a little game developer known as Namco released a strange game called Katamari Damacy where you are a little prince and you must roll anything and everything up to create stars and planets. It was, and quite honestly still is, a very weird game, and probably quite safely holds the position of having one of the best...

    While you wait for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, try out the demo for this Dark Souls 3 mod that's basically a new game

    We're still a few months out from the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, but in the meantime, there's now a demo for an impressive looking Dark Souls 3 mod. Last month, after a two year wait, FromSoftware finally announced the release date for Shadow of the Erdtree. Unfortunately for all of us, it's still a few months away until the DLC actually releases, and there's only so many times you can replay the base game (that thing is massive, I haven't even seen all there is to see yet...

    Persona 5 might have taken six years to go multiplatform, but leakers are claiming Persona 6 will be on more than just PlayStation

    While Atlus fans are still waiting on an actual announcement, leakers are currently claiming that Persona 6 will launch across multiple platforms. Earlier this week, industry insider and leaker Nate the Hate made the claim that Persona 6 will be on Xbox whenever it does launch. "From information I’ve heard, it does seem that Persona 6 will be coming to the Xbox," Nate the Hate said during an episode of the DirectXbox podcast from Spawncast. "I'm not 100% sure if it's, like, day-and-date with...
