The world of Oxygen Not Included is getting a little bigger, with developer Klei announcing Away Team, a side-scrolling survival crafting platformer and exploration game starring an adorable little Duplicant who gets separated from the rest of their colony. The announcement came alongside a trailer showing off some signature cute animation shorts of a lone…
CMON started as CoolMiniOrNot.com before turning its hand to board game publishing, having an early hit with co-operative miniatures game Zombicide in 2012. A fast-paced dice-chucker, Zombicide was funded by a $781,597 Kickstarter that provided the model for CMON’s subsequent releases—many of them Zombicide spin-offs, reskinning it as a western or fantasy or post-apocalyptic, or…
A big selling point of the Chromatic has been the extent to which ModRetro has promised to bring classic Game Boy titles back in physical form. Though a noble mission, in practice, most of the best Game Boy games are owned by famous gaming corporations that still exist and certainly aren’t going to authorize…
Google just launched its most impressive (and unsettling) addition to AI Overview yet, a new feature called “Audio Overview” that generates audio summaries of search results, narrated in the style of two life-like, yet not quite human podcast hosts. Audio Overview is currently an opt-in Search Labs feature, meaning you won’t see the option for…
FromSoft dataminer and YouTuber BonfireVN has uploaded a new video comparing Elden Ring Nightreign’s Dark Souls throwback skins to their original models, and I was surprised at how much they’ve actually been touched up since their original appearances. I like to think I’m a tough, serious guy who’s not easily manipulated when a piece of…
Amazon’s Mass Effect adaptation just found its commander in Doug Jung, who will be the series showrunner and executive producer, as reported by Deadline. You’ll be familiar with Jung’s work if you’ve seen Star Trek Beyond, Mindhunter, or Cinemax’s Banshee series, where he was a writer. He was also a showrunner, executive producer, and writer…
Call of Duty and Battlefield may only occasionally dip into the Second World War these days, with CoD’s most recent Nazi battering entry being 2023’s Call of Duty: Vanguard, while Battlefield hasn’t so much as sniffed an M1 Garand since 2018’s Battlefield 5. But there are plenty of other shooters dedicated to replicating history’s most…

Aside from when it’s wildly out of whack with the game world, I don’t think about the height of videogame characters much. At a modest 5’7, I generally assume that most videogame protagonists are taller than me. There have been a few occasions where a character’s canonical height has surprised me, though. For example, a…
Last year’s first-person horror Still Wakes the Deep combined three of my favourite things, namely Scottish people, oil rigs, and The Thing. It’s the best game that The Chinese Room has made yet in my opinion, and my only real complaint (if you can call it that) is that I would happily have played more…
