My first surprise of Summer Game Fest came with the very first game I played. Dying Light: The Beast looked excellent in my hour-long demo, which I did not expect coming off Techland’s previous disappointing sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human.

Last week, I got the chance to speak to Chris Bergey, Senior VP and General Manager for the Client side of Arm Holdings, and after picking his brain about Windows on Arm for PC gaming, I’m carefully optimistic about the future. Emphasis on carefully, though, because the proof will ultimately be in the pudding (or…
Henry Cavill has, for the past few years, been ramping up to work on a Warhammer 40k series with Amazon after departing his role as The Witcher’s Geralt in the Netflix series. A move which caused no end of upset, given his enduring love for the source material—and, let’s be honest, pretty solid Doug Cockle…
Xbox has just announced plans for two new handheld devices, launching by the end of the year. The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X look a lot like you’d expect an Xbox handheld to look like: Xbox controls, branding everywhere, and a new handheld Xbox UI. “This is an Xbox”, proclaims Microsoft’s Sarah…
