Gaming’s equivalent of classic sci-fi satire film Starship Troopers is about to become Hollywood’s take on the gaming equivalent of classic sci-fi satire film Starship Troopers. Which sounds like it should just be Starship Troopers, as we noted when the news of a film adaptation first broke a year ago. But when has a trifling…
Overwatch’s latest season, the Reign of Talon, has brought an absolutely huge update with it. With a great UI overhaul, a competitive reset, and five new heroes for players to get to grips with. I’ve managed to try each one out, and while I love the wackiness of Jetpack Cat, Emre is currently in the…
Tim Cain is back with another YouTube video and that means two things. The first: my career, such as it is, can continue for at least another day. The second: it’s time for some delicious original Fallout reflections. Today’s video was a discussion on tone in games, and the responsibility that game directors have to…
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Puppy Love update added two new furry friends to the valley: Lady and Tramp. Unlike unlocking Cinderella in the Winter Ball update, the process of getting this pawfect pair to move in is more in-depth, and you need to venture to a brand new location to start the lengthy process.

It’s a life sim set in the Pokémon world where you, a humanoid Ditto, set out to rebuild a fallen civilisation with the help of your pocket monster pals. Weird, right? Where could the inspiration for that possibly have stemmed from? Uhhh, the GBA’s…
NetEase finally spilt the beans on Marvel Rivals‘ Season 6.5 update yesterday, ahead of its launch on Friday, 13 February, giving us our first look at Elsa Bloodstone and all the balance changes. Of course, this was conveniently timed right as its competitor, Overwatch, launched its massive yearly refresh, which caused the game to break…
The path to Mewgenics was a long one. It was revealed in 2012—yes, that’s 14 years ago—and then delayed, and then cancelled outright. In 2018 Edmund McMillen announced that work had resumed, but instead of working with Team Meat partner Tommy Refenes, he was collaborating with Tyler Glaiel. A bit after that he warned that…
