As someone who played The Sims 3 on a tragically specced laptop, I’ll always remember feeling mildly guilty whenever I ignored its suggestion to “select only a couple of packs at a time to ensure the best game experience,” checking every box for every DLC I owned and hearing the whirr of my fans desperately…
Photo Mode arrives. Remember last month when Level-5 said that it would be adding a Photo Mode to Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time in a July update? That patch got hit with a last-minute delay, but today, it has been released in all its glory. The ver. 1.5.0 update is now live…
You mess with the Don’s daughter, you pay the inevitable price. That price being a strongly worded letter from videogame publisher lawyers, you see. Take-Two has gone after NSFW mods for Mafia: The Old Country, DMCA’ing a pair of mods out of existence that stripped Isabella Torrisi down to her birthday suit. Which is a…
Arriving Q3 2025. Ratalaika Games has revealed on social media that it will be releasing a new English-localized version of the Super Famicom action platformer Psycho Dream across PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox & Steam. The Telenet Japan subsidiary Riot originally released Psycho Dream in Japan in 1992, with the game featuring a soundtrack from the…
World of Warcraft: Midnight’s coming—the hour, nearly upon us—and while player housing is the marquee feature, I’m actually super hyped about another system Blizzard’s cooking up, as well, dubbed “Prey”, revealed this year at Gamescom 2025.

Capcom is storming Gamescom 2025 with three huge games set to release in 2026: Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. I got a chance to go hands-on with all three to flee from terrors, hack robotic foes, and slice through demons. Let’s dive in. Resident Evil Requiem With the ninth mainline…
I mean it as a compliment when I say Capcom’s Pragmata has the makings of “one of those 7 out of 10 games,” a vein of perfect weekend plays that we don’t see enough of from big budget developers anymore. This is just a snap judgment—I’ve only played about 20 minutes of the long-gestating action…
Miyamoto Musashi, the legend goes, had his first duel at age 13, bludgeoning a grown-ass samurai to death with a stick. Over the next several decades he killed dozens more men in duels, fought in several large-scale battles, and wrote a book about swordfighting that may or may not be entirely honest about his many…
I hate this wait. Skybound Entertainment and Broken Mirror Games have announced that I Hate This Place, the adaptation of the comic series from writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin, will launch on the Switch on 7th November 2025. The new trailer also gives us a further glimpse at the craft-based survival horror gameplay,…
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is interesting, to say the least. It’s a sequel to both Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6, while also making the former mostly non-canon, and we weren’t even expecting another direct sequel in the same vein as 2023’s Modern Warfare 3 to begin with. Nevertheless, it’s doing the…
