9 Years Of Shadows is an in-development metroidvania which features music from Michiru Yamane, Manami Matsumae, and Norihiko Hibino, who worked on Castlevania, Mega Man and Metal Gear Solid respectively. This doesn’t excite me, but I mention it in case it’s appealing to you. What does excite me is that 9 Years Of Shadows otherwise

The Overwatch development team announced on Thursday that they would rename cowboy McCree later this year. The change is due to the name’s association with former Blizzard developer Jesse McCree, who left the company after a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard alleging workplace sexual harassment and discrimination. McCree is not specifically named in the lawsuit. Now

Starting on September 1

Imagine a spectrum of videogame trailers, with “meaninglessly vague cinematic trailer” at one end and “explicit and lengthy gameplay footage” at the other. DokeV sits firmly in the latter category, but it’s proven no less baffling as someone trying to get a handle on what the game is about. After a new four minute trailer

The first Dying Light is on its way to Switch by way of a new Platinum Edition. The shiny moniker signifies this as the definitive edition of the 2015 zombie open-world game. The best part about the move to Switch; you can now play those scary night missions outside in broad daylight. Techland announced the

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl isn’t even out yet and already there are Super Smash Bros. levels of hype for new characters being announced to the roster. Today during the Future Games Show at Gamescom 2021, these characters were both announced. April O’Neil, the famous reporter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, already had a Gamescom

WD makes a truly incredible number of hard drives and SSDs, and today one of them is on sale: the WD Elements 14TB external hard drive. This incredibly massive drive has been reduced from £311 to £247, a 21% reduction on one of the very largest external hard drives available.

Much like the first Destiny, Destiny 2 fell into a rut at launch. The game launched under the Activision helm as its publisher and while the team did include a more in-depth story as requested from fans of the first game, the endgame content and most immediate subsequent expansions did little to connect with players.

The next big trailer bonanza hosted by everyone’s pal Geoff Keighley has just come and gone. You can watch all of Gamescom Opening Night Live if you don’t want to miss out on all the bants. If you just want to know who showed up with what, well we’ve got that list here for you.

As we inch closer to the release of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Eidos Montreal is slowly revealing more characters our misfit team of heroes will encounter on their adventures. Earlier this month, we got a look at Lady Hellbender and Drax’s, um… unique way of flirting. Today, we get an introduction to Grand Unifier

Is Aliens a top class sci-fi action series, or the height of ’80s movie schlock? It is possible that it is, and always has been, both. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is the latest game to attempt to walk that line, offering a stand-up fight crossed with Left 4 Dead. It’s out now.

Call Of Duty: Vanguard is getting ready for its trip back to alt-history WW2 with a quick look into this year’s future. Activision have scheduled an “alpha” for PlayStation players this weekend, followed by an open beta on all platforms next month, in as much as those terms mean anything when they’re scheduled so close

Last week, 343 Industries confirmed that Halo Infinite is still expected to launch during the holiday period later this year but would be releasing without campaign co-op and the Forge. The decision to push forward with the release versus another delay was not easy to make, and that’s something the studio is opening up with

The developer behind mobile hits like Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, Supercell, revealed Everdale today, an entirely new IP for the company. Set in a tranquil fantasy realm, Everdale will task its players to work together to build up their villages. The cooperative mobile game aims to be a highly social experience centered around good

Tonight’s SummerSlam event saw a new teaser video for WWE 2K22. 2K Games has been largely silent about the game since it debuted during WrestleMania 37; the publisher hadn’t even divulged what platforms it’s available. Now fans have a new peek at the anticipated title, but the most surprising update is that the game won’t be coming

Valve’s competitive first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive turned nine years old today. It remains the most popular game on Steam – a little bigger than Dota 2, and around four times bigger than the 3rd and 4th placed games. Not bad, eh.

Was anyone really expecting Sony to start releasing their games simultaneously across PC and console? Panicked PlayStation 5 owners, perhaps – but even they should fret no longer. In an interview with Game Informer, head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst committed to PC releases coming only after a period of exclusivity.

Now that all your Travelers have gotten introduced to Genshin Impact‘s new world zone Inazuma, it’s just about time for another game update. Genshin Impact version 2.1, called “Floating World Under the Moonlight”, is just around the corner on September 1. As ever, the update will bring a new storyline, new characters, activities and oh,

We’re living in the age of gaming adaptations, and Bethesda’s Fallout is no exception. With a new Fallout TV show in the works, the producer teased a few details about what fans of the Wasteland can expect from the upcoming “mindf***” that lies ahead.  The upcoming Fallout tribute is currently in production over at Amazon,

I like a good puzzle dungeon. Give me a tiled floor littered with switches and spikes and I’ll probably have a merry time. Temple Of Snek gives me that and more, by crossing those puzzle concepts with the classic rules of Snake. Which are: you are a snake, you are always moving forward, and you

QuakeCon 2021 is going on now and the annual showcase kicked off with a pleasant Quake remaster announcement and a plethora of intriguing panels to listen in on. It also came with the confirmation that Skyrim is re-releasing again for the billionth time, just in case anyone forgot it existed.  For a quick timeline, Skyrim,

I can barely survive a two hour dinner party on most occasions, which is how I know I’d not survive life in the 1700’s aristocracy—especially not right before the French Revolution. I do enjoy a good read though, so perhaps I’ll stand a chance leaving with my head attached in the diplomacy and dating simulation

Let’s be real; the beginning of Skyrim was iconic. Riding in on the cart towards your execution and the “you’re finally awake” line has essentially become the new Rick Roll when it comes to memes. Not only was the scene itself pretty awesome in its own right, but the fade to black effect only to end

Activision has unveiled a teaser trailer for the upcoming Call of Duty title, Call of Duty: Vanguard. The trailer indicates a return to WWII, and lets people know where and when this whole reveal is going down. As has been the case for several Call of Duty reveals now, the action is going to have

Back in June, Syndicate and Ultima Underworld I & II disappeared from GOG.com at EA’s request. Then they returned to the digital storefront earlier this month without much explanation, and are being given away for free for a period of four weeks by way of apology. Now EA have said they’ll have a “process in

If you’re hungry for throwback shooters, don’t you worry. We aren’t done here yet. 3D Realms announced another retro FPS during their Realms Deep showcase called Cultic.

Street Fighter V is starting this week with two new characters releasing in its fifth season: Street Fighter III’s elderly hermit Oro and Akira Kazama from Capcom’s long-dormant Rival Schools series.

DC Comics just released the first issue of Batman ’89, a six-issue limited series that picks up right where Tim Burton’s Batman Returns movie left off. If you didn’t like Joel Schumacher’s colorful sequels and want to see what would have happened to Michael Keaton‘s Caped Crusader, this first chapter is well worth a look.

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is a bold, violent, fun take on the criminal super-powered team, and an unsuspecting character from DC’s universe had a memorable role in the film. David Dastmalchian’s portrayal of The Polka-Dot Man is a sympathetic take on a killer with a mostly sweet demeanor who suffers childhood trauma and a deadly

The LG 27GL850 is an iconoclast, a monitor that broke the mould by daring to combine the colours and viewing angles of IPS monitors with the blazing fast pixel response times you’d normally only find on TN panels. The result is what LG call ‘Nano IPS’ and what I call ‘Fast IPS’, a new class
