Talk about ‘What If…’. We’ve heard about a few companies with dreams of purchasing Nintendo over the years (*cough* Microsoft *cough*), and it turns out that there was another big ol’ American conglomerate looking to snap it up back in the day, too (thanks, Gamespot). That is according to the latest episode of the Grit…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Bohemia is for lovers. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2‘s romance options are many and varied, ranging from quick flings to longer-term commitments, and the good news is that pursuing them isn’t all that hard.

With the Switch 2 on the horizon and nothing of particular significance now until Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on 20th March, the UK Charts is mostly comprised of evergreen titles. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is hanging in…
Killing Floor 3 is one of the most visceral games I’ve ever played. Insofar as, well, even a simple firefight will leave the place spattered with viscera, every corner of the room filled with buckets full of gore for just a handful of kills. It’s enough to make you want to reach for a mop…
While the first Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs are now with us in the form of mighty (and perhaps melty?) graphics cards, some of us have been looking towards mobile versions of the GPUs for our slice of the Blackwell pie. We’ve been waiting until a March launch for RTX 50-series laptops, and now Nvidia has…
We’re less than a week away from Avowed’s full release, which is on February 18, 2025, and as part of the lead-up to this, Blizzard has released a small bit of news about Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming game: players will be able to switch between Avowed on their PC and their Xbox. “Avowed breaks down barriers…
