No One’s Getting Laid In Starfield, Apparently
17.3.2023
Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios’ Skyrim-but-in-space RPG, finally has a firm September 6 release date. A June 11 presentation will give us a closer look at the game that has over 1,000 planets, but something you might not have expected to learn before then is just how sexless Starfield will be....

17.3.2023
There was a lot of hype going into Lightfall, Destiny 2's big cyberpunk expansion. The reality has been much more muted, full of ups and downs, fun discoveries and tedious chores. Live-service games are unwieldy creatures to try and examine under a microscope, and Destiny remains one of...
New Persona 5 Spinoff Game Announced
17.3.2023
We’ve had Persona 5, we’ve had Persona 5 Royale, we’ve had Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and also Persona 5 Strikers. That’s a lot of Persona 5, but Sega and Atlus figure we can handle even more, because another spinoff has just been announced, this one called Persona: Phantom of the Night.Read...
Two Classic 90s Adventure Games Are Getting Unexpected Remakes
17.3.2023
Our collective video gaming memory is a weird thing. Some games from decades past are committed to The Pantheon, where they will be spoken about and remembered for all time. Others, meanwhile, can be some of the biggest releases of their time, only to disappear and never be heard from again.Read...
Film Critic Who Loves Tetris Movie Had Never Heard Of Tetris
16.3.2023
I rarely make a big deal out of people not knowing about old games, movies, or comics. The world is massive, everyone has different life experiences, and it’s totally okay if people haven’t heard of every cool game or movie you love. However, that all goes out the window when I discover someone...
Far Cry 5 Gets Free Weekend, Framerate Boost On PS5 And Xbox
16.3.2023
Far Cry 5 sold over 20 million copies, suggesting people loved the nightmarish first-person shooter about rural cultists preparing to inherit a post-apocalyptic United States. Maybe that’s why half a decade later Ubisoft just gave it an unlikely “next-gen” upgrade on PS5 and Xbox Series X.Read more

16.3.2023
Twitch streamer Limcube has gone to great lengths to get all the hoes he can—wait, we’re talking about the Breath of the Wild gardening tool. You know, the ones used to cultivate soil and remove weeds. Get your head out of the gutter.Read more

These 5 Retro Games Hold Up Even Without The Nostalgia
16.3.2023
I spent most of my childhood fixated on free dress-up games and Animal Crossing so, now, when I play something someone older than me swears is the best game ever, I feel like I’ve already missed out on its magic. It can be hard to swallow outdated plot points and vintage polygons when modern gaming...
These Last Of Us Bloopers Are The Emotional Reprieve We Need
16.3.2023
While The Last of Us’ haunting emotional beats and turbulent moral themes can sometimes be fodder for a more hopeful, reparative perspective, that’s not always the case. The Last of Us is heavy as hell, but fortunately, if the HBO series finale has left you in a dour mood, the outtakes and bloopers...
The Sims 4 Glitch Turns Infants Into Horrifying, Long-Legged Monsters
16.3.2023
Unless you consider watching people get up and go to work every morning to be a horrifying sight, you probably wouldn’t classify The Sims 4 as a horror game. However, its latest update brings infants to the game for the first time ever, and while they may look cute when you first load up your save...
Star Citizen Has Had A Week To Forget
16.3.2023
Star Citizen—a video game first announced when Gangnam Style was top of the charts—is sometimes unfairly labelled as vapourware. It’s usually called that by people who have never actually played it; if they had, they’d know that there is the framework of a game out there, which can be played,...

Buy These Excellent 3DS Games Before The eShop Explodes In 12 Days
15.3.2023
Nintendo is shutting down the 3DS and Wii U eShops at the end of the month. It feels premature and idiotic, but such is the world we live in. Nintendo’s 3D handheld will always live in the shadow of its more popular predecessor, but damn if the 3DS didn’t have a bunch of great and special games....

Let’s Break Down Dead Island 2’s Gnarly, ‘Anatomically Correct’ Flesh System
15.3.2023
Zombie-spotted action-adventure Dead Island 2 spent the last nine years pinballing between studios—original developer Techland, then Yager Development, then Sumo Digital, and finally Dambuster, which has ties to the TimeSplitters series in its former, ‘00s life as Free Radical Design. Recently,...
March’s PS Plus Update Is Big, Adding Games Like Ghostwire, Uncharted, and Street Fighter V
15.3.2023
Another month, another chance for Sony to convince you to keep your PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium subscription (or to sign up). And this month the lineup is solid enough that I’ll likely stick around. Over a dozen games are being added, including three classics and a few big triple-A games like...

15.3.2023

The Merchant From Resident Evil 4 Is Great
15.3.2023
I clearly remember the first time I saw the mysterious merchant from Resident Evil 4. He pops by a window and gets Leon’s attention. You then head out and around the back of the building where he is waiting for Leon. He’s ready to sell and buy, even in this terrible place. He’s the best. But who...
Final Fantasy Creator On Why He Thinks ‘Quality’ Japanese Games Saw A Brief Drop
15.3.2023
While Japanese games of varying genres are enjoying success these days, the 2000s and 2010s weren’t as kind, especially in Western markets. Since then, there’s been a lot of speculation as to why Japanese games struggled during these years, often from westerners themselves, with some pointing...
