PS5 has a great new RPG, and this new RPG is PS5 Pro enhanced at launch. The game in question was released this week, and on PS5 Pro it has visual enhancements. What these visual enhancements are, we do not know, as its developer has not detailed them. This may suggest they aren’t very…
Prepare to try and not die Another week, another Mortal Shell 2 update! The first proper one arrived a week ago, and smoothed down some of the game's rough edges to make for a (slightly) more generous experience. This next update brings with it a bevy of changes, but most notably is an experimental…
(Image credit: Warhorse Studios) DLSS 5 is a controversial technology for all sorts of reasons—you might have heard about this little thing called AI slop—but perhaps the most infamous is its uncanny look. Real concerns have been raised about the potential for something so aesthetically…

An NES exclusive game that hasn’t been seen since the Wii U virtual console is getting a remake. The NES game in question, a sci-fi shoot ’em up, debuted all the way back in 1990. And in the 36 years since, it’s never natively come to another platform. So, it’s been an NES exclusive for almost four…
Image courtesy of Sony By 2006, the PlayStation 2 had already established itself as one of the defining consoles of its generation. Players had spent years exploring sprawling adventures, brutal action games, ambitious RPGs, and experimental Japanese releases that pushed the hardware in unexpected…
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. It’s an early-access game, after all, so you…
Peter Mountain/Dna/20th Century Fox/Kobal/Shutterstock28 Days Later is hugely significant for many reasons: it was a key film in the 2000s zombie revival, it was a British production that competed with the best American horror films of the decade, and it was proof that future Oscar winner Cillian…
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.

(Image credit: Valve) It's strange to think about in hindsight, but Left 4 Dead 2 was a controversial game in the run-up to its release in November 2009—just one year after the original Left 4 Dead laid the foundations for today's enormous cooperative gaming scene. Indeed, it was that rapid…
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…
