Boo hoo. The Pokémon Trading Card Game 30th Anniversary expansion launched last week on 16th September, and the release was expectedly messy. Launch day saw lengthy queues outside stores in the early hours of the morning, cancelled and delayed pre-orders, and, most infuriating of all, select individuals sitting on huge hoards of stock, preventing anyone…
I wouldn’t take the overtime. The fact that Bryan was forced down this spiral of blood, guts, and tears just because he thought he could make a bit more cash is simultaneously the most realistic and tragic aspect of the new Resident Evil movie. And honestly, I get it. Who doesn’t need a bit of…
“The classic masterpiece Xevious reborn in polygons!”. Over 30 years after its original release in the arcades, Hamster is bringing Xevious 3D/G, Namco’s divisive 3D revival of its 1983 shoot ’em up classic Xevious, to modern consoles this week, as part of Arcade Archives 2.

I have made the choice to min-max in WoW: Forever, something which I am starting to regret, because oh no, my hubris. See, Blizzard will be raising the level cap sometime soon to 30, and I decided I’d complete a bunch of quests, but not turn them in. But I’d forgotten that a lot of…
We’re currently polling for the worst graphical effect in games, starting with a fight between depth of field and vignette. I’m already seeing a lot of passionate comments on our post, including from one user who said of the results: “This is crazytown”. Love that. Keep that vibe going throughout our knockout tourny. If you…
Blink and you’ll miss it. Big discounts on quality physical titles are such a rarity these days that, much like us, you may have got a little excited this morning if you clocked that Argos had delivered deep discounts on some of Switch 2’s best games. Alas, we should have known that it was too…
For Their Eyes Only. A new video showcases Rare’s seminal first-person shooter GoldenEye 007 in an equally rare third-person form, courtesy of a new mod from homebrewer Josh_7774. The “GoldenEye 007 Plus” mod, seen here running on Analogue 3D software, has our boy Bond, James Bond, battling an army of Russian badniks in third-person, over-the-shoulder…
Rad, man. Ubisoft has published a new overview trailer for Rayman Legends Retold ahead of its launch on 3rd December 2026.
