A chill wind blows today, carrying the distinct scent of dinosaur dung. Monster Hunter: World has just launched its Iceborne expansion on PC, sending hunters to icy new lands to fight tough new monsters (and tougher versions of old monsters). We’re arriving late as Iceborne hit consoles in September 2019, though here the PC delay

During today’s Pokémon Direct presentation, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced two new expansions that add new areas to explore and new Pokémon to catch.

While the big news coming out of today’s Pokémon Direct presentation is the announcement of the Expansion Pass for Pokémon Sword & Shield, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company also announced an enhanced version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team for Switch.

Pokémon Sword & Shield have already proven to be massive successes for Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pokémon Company, giving the franchise its highest-grossing launch of all-time and the Switch its fastest-selling titles yet. With more than six million copies sold worldwide, many trainers have been journeying through the Galar region looking for more to

Yes, I know. Fallout 76 is not exactly a beloved game what with the whole Fallout 1st subscription launching at the same time the free Wastelanders update was delayed. Before that was the game’s initial, buggy launch. There are still players out there who do seem to love it and continue to make delightfully silly creations

Interest has been growing in unionisation to help shift the balance of power in the industry and start changing it for the

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Alienware introduced something unexpected: Concept UFO, a handheld gaming PC that draws heavy inspiration from Nintendo Switch. The unit even features detachable left and right pieces that can be connected to create a controller that just happens to look like a UFO. Alienware isn’t revealing hardware

As well as a plentiful supply of new gaming monitors to coo over this week, this year’s CES tech bonanza has also brought us dozens of new gaming laptops, including the world’s most powerful 14in laptop, the Asus Zephyrus G14. But it’s not so much the G14’s souped up innards that have me all aflutter

We have entered 2020. We survived that entire monolith of a decade. I don’t know what 2019 was like for you, but I think I can say with a degree of certitude that I have had better years. Despite the apocalyptic politics, the extreme weather (incl. fires, floods, and earthquakes oh my), and the continued

It’s been several years since I first played MiniLAW: Ministry of Law, the side scrolling shooter/fighter/screamer based on being a hybrid of Robocop and Judge Dredd. In that time it’s come a long way, adding more structure, story and flavour to its already colourful crime-stomping action. The full release landed yesterday, and I have Some

This is The Mechanic, where Alex Wiltshire invites developers to discuss the difficult journeys they’ve taken to make their games. This time, Unity Of Command II [official site].

This one is worth a snort of disgust, for sure Every year we are put in a cardboard box full of straw and carefully packed away in the treehouse attic, until Graham wakes up on January 3rd and chains us to our desks again. It’s a cosy little break for us, but we don’t want

It’s the 23rd day of the RPS Advent Calendar. Yes, twas the night before the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a m- wait, wait, the house itself is stirring. Er. Just try and grab the door as it moves past, eh? It’s Control! Astrid: Control

Only a couple of days left in the RPS Advent Calendar! Are you excited yet? That may just be your over-developed sense of Drama taking charge. It’s Disco Elysium!

On day 21 of the RPS Advent Calendar, we invite you to open the door with some care. There may be more warthogs than you expected. It’s Planet Zoo! This is fine. Nate: Planet Zoo is a lot of things. It’s a surprisingly challenging management game, if you want it to be. It’s even a

It’s Star Wars week, and there are a lot of reasons to be excited about our favorite space opera. One of those reasons is TT Games’ upcoming release of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The new trailer doesn’t add much, but when we saw the game during E3, we were really hot on it. May
