I was awfully late to the joys of Blizzard cinematics—I once mistook a Mists of Pandaria trailer in the cinema to be a new Kung Fu Panda movie, and only really came to appreciate them with the slew of Overwatch shorts the developer pumped out in the run-up to the hero shooter’s original 2016 release….
Pragmata, a game about feeding USB sticks to a small child you’ve found on the Moon, releases in mere hours. This is good news, because—writing for the illustrious PC Gamer dot com—Justin Wagner rather liked it in his Pragmata review, scoring it 87% and declaring it “a snazzy late aughts throwback elevated by a terrific…
Out to pasture. Red Dead Redemption got a sweet Nintendo Switch 2 Edition back in December 2025, but according to a new rumour from Dealabs Magazine, it might soon be getting a ‘physical’ release.

There are just about a gazillion games about ninjas, but shockingly far fewer about pirates. Swashbucklers deserve more attention if you ask me, and thankfully they seem to be getting it when it comes to the new survival game Windrose. It’s managed to shift half a million copies in the first two days, according to…

Despite being a work of fiction, the device always looked so cool whenever it appeared in the anime, essentially acting as a…

“I tried to produce a high quality faithful translation”. Technosoft is famous for the Thunder Force series and titles like Hyper Duel and Herzog Zwei, but the company also dabbled in other genres – and its 1995 PS1 and Saturn pinball title, Kyuutenkai, is something of a hidden gem in its library. Also known as…

How to get started on Tomodachi Life. There are no games quite like Tomodachi Life, and the Switch follow up, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is just as madcap, random, and hilarious as its 3DS predecessor. The series has a reputation for being extremely open-ended, so that can feel overwhelming. And with a huge install…
