There are many different traditions associated with playing Monster Hunter; getting a good meal before a hunt, sharpening your weapon every three seconds, grabbing all items in sight despite not needing them (you’ve probably got enough herbs by now). But my favorite has always been dressing up my cat companion in the most cursed cosmetics…
Marvel Rivals has a remarkably eclectic collection of heroes, from melee bruisers to snipers and even aerial sluggers. When it comes to the best crosshairs in Marvel Rivals, then, there’s no ‘one size fits all’. To make the most of every hero, you’ll need to tweak your reticle to suit their unique playstyle. The crosshair…
Cubone used Hug. There’s nothing quite like a cute Pokémon plush to bring a smile to the face, is there? Well, this new range arriving in Japan’s Pokémon Centers next week might just be the cutest of the bunch (thanks, NintendoSoup). The “Brrr… Squish!

Tecmo’s 1989 belt scroller Tecmo Knight / Wild Fang has come to MiSTer FPGA and Analogue Pocket, thanks to Jotego’s Patreon. “This belt-scrolling action game was created by the same team as Ninja Gaiden,” says the FPGA developer. “An interesting aspect of the game is that the protagonist fights…
Even if Steven Spielberg were involved. With the news in 2023 that Nintendo would be working on an official Legend of Zelda movie in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, you can bet that we had to scoop our jaws from off the floor. Even with the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, a Zelda…
It’s a grim time in the games industry, as layoffs and closures continue to decimate studio after studio. It’s an enraging thing, so enraging that none other than Larian CEO Swen Vincke took to The Game Awards stage last December to call out, well, everyone: “I’ve been fighting with publishers my entire life, and I…
Bleasdale Farmhouse has been part of Phasmophobia since before it was released, alongside 13 other maps, as part of the co-op horror game’s early access.
