As such, it was only a matter of time before they began gazing lasciviously at early noughties blockbusters. I was only…
March is on. As we head into the third month of 2026, there’s plenty to be looking forward to once you’ve dragged yourselves away from the shambling hordes of Raccoon City and the two other Resident Evils that dropped on Switch 2 last week. There’s a new Pokémon spin-off, for starters, followed by the return…
After more than two years in development, Teardown‘s hotly anticipated multiplayer will finally arrive in March.

Conceived in response to Renegade 2‘s cancellation, Renegade X aimed to do…
Generational Divide. ‘!’ Whoops! Looks like you’ve walked into our path. The exclamation mark has already appeared above our heads. We challenge you to a very special edition of Box Art Brawl! Before we send out this week’s competitors, however, let’s recap what went down last time. Marking another significant Nintendo anniversary as Zelda turned…
“There’s kind of a part of me that lives on forever”. As you might recall, the All Elite Wrestling star and Street Fighter fan Kenny Omega helped out with Street Fighter 6‘s Year 3 DLC announcement, but it didn’t actually end there. Ahead of the return of the Street Fighter III: New Generation rep Alex…
