And in the 36 years since, it’s never natively come to another platform. So, it’s been an NES exclusive for almost four…

I love lockpicking minigames, especially when representatively they're as far away from the act of lockpicking as possible. While I admire the elegance of Bethesda's bobby-pin/screwdriver system seen in Fallout 4, I'm much more interested in the weirder solutions like Splinter Cell's baffling…
This December, the magic is set to be flowing through every TV, and not just for Santa Claus' chimney-dipping. Harry Potter and the wizarding world are returning to Hogwarts in the rebooted HBO series, upping the ante from the 20-year-old films with a much deeper look at life inside the castle.…
An N64 exclusive is now available on PS5 for $3 via the PlayStation Store. The same also applies to PS4 users because there is also a PS4 version of the N64 game in question, which is a first-person shooter from 1997. The game in question was completely an N64 exclusive when it was released, but…
I’ll expand on that title immediately, as I know how passionate the team behind Scavland is. I have full faith that this post-apocalyptic pixel-art shooter will evolve and improve, so that title isn’t a negative reflection, but rather a constructive one.

Every new Rockstar game is more simulation-heavy than the last, and Grand Theft Auto 6 aims to bring players closer to real-life in a variety of ways.

One of my first appointments for Gamescom 2026 was a superb roguelike called Stupid Never Dies. It’s like the antithesis of Hades. Instead of fighting your way out of hell as a charming and handsome demigod, your objective is to break into hell as a bumbling zombie. This set-up piqued my interest…
The first thing that strikes you upon seeing the new Tomb Raider live-demoed on a massive 115” TV mere inches from your face, I can attest, is its visual fidelity: Legacy of Atlantis is absurdly pretty. Crammed with fine detail enough that every particle of dust and bat guano flitting through the…
