Mark Darrah is a true BioWare veteran, having worked at the studio for 24 years before returning in a consultancy role to shepherd Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the finish line. Darrah is now freelance once more, and has been using some of his time to post YouTube videos about both the company’s history and…
Following an uproar over the new Rainbow Six Siege operator Rauora, Ubisoft has quietly made a change to the character’s biography, moving her date of birth from March 15 to May 11. The original birthdate coincided with two mass shootings at mosques that left 51 people dead and 89 others injured in Christchurch, New Zealand,…
Available later this year. The critically-acclaimed horror game Mouthwashing will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch later this year after publisher Critical Reflex celebrated 500K+ sales on Steam. Physical editions will be available via Fangamer, and while pre-orders aren’t available just yet, you can sign up for notifications so you don’t miss out….
Is it all Sleep Talk? Next week, on 27th February 2025, Pokémon will be celebrating its 29th birthday. And you know what that means? It’s time for some Pokémon Presents. After a relatively ‘muted’ 2024, there’s a lot on people’s minds. Inverted commas there because, come on, if muted means releasing a brand new mobile…
Unfortunately, I am cursed to almost never miss an opportunity to reference the step aerobics belter that is the Cha Cha Slide. The return of Newegg’s lottery system, Newegg Shuffle, not only heralds the imminent release of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, but also fulfils the conditions of my curse—now everybody…
With a steelbook, no less! It’s not been that long since Nightdive Studios released The Thing: Remastered, but we know many of you were holding off on adding it to your collection in the hope that it would receive a physical release. Well, your wish has been granted! Launching on 25th June 2025 (the 43rd…
Delta Force sure is a heady mix. A game from Chinese devs about the American military in a Somalian civil war, with a not-yet-released singleplayer campaign modelled after Black Hawk Down, it’s the kind of thing you might expect to have opinions. A perspective. A criticism? Anything to say at all, really, about the experience…
D&D has finally completed its initial wave of revamps with the 2024 Monster Manual—confusingly released in 2025, but I don’t make the rules—and, after a read through, I’m downright conflicted. Being a recent PF2e convert, I’ve been quite grumpy about these new books (the Player’s Handbook in particular). As a point of personal opinion, I…
It simply isn’t an RPG if you aren’t doing the good old gear shuffle every few hours, but some of the unique gear in Avowed makes the old song and dance a lot easier. Equipping unique weapons and armor and then upgrading them is pretty much always going to be a better call than blowing…
The Earthly Aegis treasure map in Avowed is perhaps the most vague riddle of them all, giving you nothing but a scruffy drawing of a ruin in a forest. Do you know how little that narrows things down, Obsidian? I wandered the forest for ages before figuring out the right ruin, and even then it…
