Rightward Sword or A Left to the Past? The Zelda series has a passionate and devoted fanbase. Over the years, timelines have been debated, settled, shaken up, or outright ignored. Storylines have been contested, shredded apart, put on a pedestal. But nothing, not even recovering the Triforce, is more important than making sure Link is…
Resident Evil Requiem offered up two protagonists, two ways of playing its horror game, and two perspectives, with the choice to switch between first and third person at any point throughout the game players could finally decide just how scary they wanted to make things.

This event runs from April 28 through May 25 (so almost an entire month), and you can earn some exclusive rewards for your hard work. If 250 Raider Tokens, a new outfit, and a backpack sound interesting to you, then you’ll…
Let me start off this article with a caveat: I am not a coding expert. I’m also not particularly good at maths. Which means some of the explanations in the video above fly over the top of my head at considerable speed. One thing I do understand, however, is that the code that makes up…
“Elden Ring as it was originally intended… a 1989 Nintendo portable console”. Here’s a sentence we never expected to write: an Elden Ring fan has recently gone to the effort of creating a playable version of the From Software action RPG based on the Nintendo Game & Watch, and it’s available to download now, for…
