Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K Universe Inches Closer To Reality
22.12.2023
In the grim dark future of the 41st millennium, there is only... contract negotiations? A year ago Games Workshop announced that it was working with Amazon Studios to bring the universe of its legendary sci-fi miniatures game Warhammer 40,000 to film and TV. Today it did so again, but now it’s even...
Troubled Warhammer 40K: Darktide Is Getting A Major RPG Overhaul [Update: And Coming To Xbox In October]
23.8.2023
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was one of my most anticipated games of 2022. I couldn’t wait to play Fatshark’s first-person shooter evolution of the rat-infested melee frenzy that was Vermintide 2. Unfortunately, it had its fair share of issues at launch, from performance frustrations on PC to...

Warhammer Gaming Show Features EIGHT Warhammer Games
26.5.2023
Two years ago I wrote a dumb post listing just how many Warhammer games had been released in the past few years. That post is now massively out of date, because there are so many Warhammer games coming in 2023-24 that Games Workshop was able to host their own damn show about it.Read more

40K: Darktide's Xbox Release Delayed So PC Version Can Be Fixed
25.1.2023
Warhammer 40K: Darktide released on PC late last year, a dark and chunky take on Left 4 Dead set in Games Workshop’s grim, distant future. It was OK! Had its problems, but was OK. Those problems have persisted into 2023, though, and so the developers are shelving an Xbox version of the game while...

The Best (And Worst) Video Game Names Of 2022
26.12.2022
The line between an amazing video game name and a terrible one is nebulous. Some game names try so hard that they loop back around and become good, despite being objectively bad. Some game names are good only in that they use cool words, but the vibe screams, “I was created in a vat overseen by...

New 40K Game Is XCOM With Space Marines, And It's Great
12.5.2022
Like I’ve said before, there are too many Warhammer games, and one of the big downfalls of that carefree licensing is that when there are so many games coming out with the same branding they just become background noise. Which is a shame when one comes along that deserves to stand out.Read more

The Art Of Total War: Warhammer III

Total War: Warhammer III: The Kotaku Review
14.2.2022
I remember putting on record back in 2016 how I thought Creative Assembly’s pivot to Warhammer games was a bad idea. How “seeing the series walk away from the real world was a blow”, and that “This isn’t even the good Warhammer. It’s the dorky medieval one”. Read more

7.12.2021
This is a conversation that I’m sure has played out countless times across kitchens and living rooms around the world as children, friends and partners patiently try and explain the difference between a video game universe and a tabletop wargaming universe. I just don’t know if it’s ever been done...
