No longer left behind. Ever since the first big blowout Direct for the Switch 2 back in April, I’ve been itching to see an announcement for Resident Evil on the new console. It’s possibly my favourite series of all time, after all, so I’m eager to play the recent entries on a Nintendo console without…
Weird Weekend Weird Weekend is our regular Saturday column where we celebrate PC gaming oddities: peculiar games, strange bits of trivia, forgotten history. Pop back every weekend to find out what Jeremy, Josh and Rick have become obsessed with this time, whether it’s the canon height of Thief’s Garrett or that time someone in the…

It’s like What Remains of Edith Finch released and everyone went “Well, we’re not going to do better than that!” before hanging up their hiking boots once and for all. Even Giant Sparrow, the creator of What Remains of Edith Finch, hasn’t released…

It means the world. While not entirely dormant for the last 30 years, Yuzo Koshiro’s Ancient Corp — responsible for Streets of Rage II, Story of Thor, and the Master System’s superb Sonic the Hedgehog — is finally back in the public eye with the release of Earthion. What’s significant for the small studio is…

The idea of spending hours fixing up a fake house seems downright perverse when I cannot find time to maintain my own real, increasingly dilapidated abode. You might say the obvious solution is to take some…
I’m not normally much of a drinker, but I’ll be pouring a pint or several (hundred) this weekend, because monastic management sim Ale Abbey has staggered out of early access. The launch version spews a chunky 1.0 update all over the abbey’s virtual cloisters, while wannabe brewmasters yet to sample its stout offering can dive…
Nothing to dread, here. Well hello there. Welcome. It’s the weekend, and that means you’re keen to see what we’re going to be playing over the next couple of days while divulging your own plans. Before you do so, however, let’s just recap the last handful of days. First up, Nintendo announced that it would…
And a “major title update”. The radical roguelike Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is getting another DLC character in the future. The big reveal is scheduled for 23rd September 2025, with this new character joining the turtles and Casey Jones. Alongside this, the team will also be releasing a major title update. When we…
