With games becoming an increasingly important distraction in these strange times, you might be thinking it’s time to upgrade your PC with one of today’s best graphics cards. It’s a good time to buy one, too, as Nvidia have finally released all their next-gen GTX 16-series and RTX 20-series cards now, and we’ve also had

The Gears of War series has always focused on being tactical in firefights thanks to a heavy emphasis on taking cover and attempting to gain advantageous positions on the battlefield. Now, Gears Tactics is poised to take that notion to the next level with a full-fledged turn-based strategy game. Xbox Game Studios has released a

Look, Valorant might be fun and aw, but what’s the point if you can’t make the numbers go higher? Right now, folk are just cycling in and out of wizard gunfights, learning the game and having fun, without the very important business of pushing an arbitrary rank higher and higher. Disgusting. From the sounds of

The oft-delayed, always-mysterious Dead Island 2 might still be coming if a new job listing at developer Dambuster Studios is any indication. The position is for an art director to work on a recreation of Los Angeles and, “create the sun soaked backdrop to a full scale zombie apocalypse set across the iconic Californian city

Since their introduction more than two years ago, Overwatch League Tokens have rarely been given out without asking you to pay real-world money. While you’ve been able to earn a pittance for watching Overwatch League matches, you would need to watch 100 maps of play just to earn $5 worth of tokens. However, Blizzard has

The big free update that brings human folk back to Fallout 76‘s desolate West Virginia is launching next week. Settlers and raiders have moved back into the Appalachian hills to rebuild and hunt for treasure. The new factions are claiming territory too, which might conflict with the C.A.M.P. you’ve already built. Bethesda posted a handy

Major League Baseball and Sony Interactive Entertainment are teaming up for the MLB the Show Players League – a virtual season with each MLB team represented by a real-life baseball pro.

Hello to you, and happy Easter weekend! Here in the UK that means a four-day weekend for many. RPS will be run a reduced service until Tuesday, at which point we’ll roll away our egg-bloated bodies and attempt to rise again. If you’re looking to for some Easter exercise and consider P.E.

Electronic Arts is rounding up 20 as-yet-unannounced real-life footballers for a special FIFA 20 tournament (April 15-19) as part of its Stay Home, Play Together COVID-19 charity relief campaign.

It’s been a few weeks since I surprised and delighted you with some custom content of the week for The Sims 4. Typically, I also avoid showcasing CC for Create A Sim (or CAS). It’s the part of the game I’m less interested in (I don’t think that, to date, I have actually played the

Several months ago Google launched Stadia to lackluster fanfare. In our experience, the underlying technology is promising, but the lack of unique features and must-play games really hurts the platform. Google is slowly updating Stadia, so that may be changing. If you’re curious to try game streaming yourself, you can now sign up for a free two-month test run of

Doom Eternal doesn’t have a Deathmatch mode. The multiplayer not a place where marines chase other marines: it’s a place where one character gets to be the Slayer from the singleplayer, and two other players gang up on them as chunky demons. The idea was to capture the same feeling as the campaign, and yep,

You can play a game within a game starting today. Inside Borderlands 3, there is a new experience – Borderlands Science. Essentially, what this does is let you play a game and it helps out science.

What’s wet and satisfying and leaves you feeling disappointed in yourself? Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Slick is such a brilliant word for describing Dead Cells, Motion Twin’s marvellous roguelite Metroidvania. It immediately gets across that we’re dealing with a clever,

The Call of Duty League has shifted away from live events (as has the majority of the world) as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the competitive league is planning to carry on, but with a focus and shift toward a completely online production. Players can tune in to watch all the action beginning

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. With Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor, I thought, “This is it. They’ve perfected Arkham-style combat. It can’t get better than this.” With Middle-earth: Shadow Of War, I realised how mistaken I’d been. Just to make sure, I

League of Legends spin-off CCG Legends of Runeterra is just about ready to play its hand. After kicking off its open beta in January and testing its deck for the last three months, Riot are ready to play for keeps – bringing crate of new cards, a new region and a new competitive season to

While traveling through the Darkest Dungeon and its last several DLC packs is keeping us plenty busy until we hear more about Darkest Dungeon 2, Red Hook is giving players PVP for the first time in the dark gothic roguelike RPG.

I’m always here for a nice Stardew Valley mod, especially one that’s easy to slip into an existing save file without the pressure to start a brand new farm. Modder “Gervig91” has been hard at work on a suite of new mods that make a bunch of items in town just a bit more lively

It’s like Minecraft, except it runs properly Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Minecraft has brought us a great many things, but despite having played it religiously for a good four years and then sporadically for a good six years after that,

Sony Interactive Entertainment has delayed the release of The Last of Us Part II by Naughty Dog, as well as Iron Man VR on PSVR until further notice due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The Asus ROG Zephryus Duo is unlike any other gaming laptop I’ve ever seen. It’s one of the first wave of dual-screen gaming laptops coming out over the course of this year, and it’s both baffling and beautiful in equal measure. It’s beautiful because the engineering on its secondary 14.1in display is just so damn

Balance is everything in multiplayer games, and pushing players to earn/buy new cards is a big part of games with loot boxes and microstransactions. Clash Royale checks both of those boxes, and for the game’s 10th season, developer Supercell is removing a card to make room for another. Heal Spell, which debuted in 2017, will

You’ve already been here before Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. LoveChoice remains one of the shortest, simplest games I’ve ever played, never mind written about. And to write about it in any detail risks spoiling why it’s so special. It can

COVID-19’s impact on the game industry pushes another game date back, as InXile’s Wasteland 3 has been pushed to August 28 (Be sure to check out an awesome feature on Wasteland 3 in the current issue of Game Informer!}.

The roguelike-like survival game Below was a bit more difficult when it came out than its moody, fog-filled trailers suggested, even to me who had been following it for multiple years. Capybara Games announced a while back that they’d heard community feedback and had decided to add a second mode to the game dubbed Explore
