Football video games have come a long way since the blocky players and chiptune sounds of the 8-bit era. What began as simple, arcade-style fun has transformed into hyper-realistic simulations that capture every detail of the sport. Thus, in this article, we’ll explore how football games have evolved through each era and the milestones that…
Waka Waka Waka 2: Much Prettier. I admit it. When this review came along, my gaming patience was being tested to its limit by Silksong’s brutal difficulty. So I rolled pretty enthusiastically towards an alternative I hoped would be more relaxing. (I genuinely regret the hours I spent defeating The Last Judge.) Pac-Man World 2:…
I first got my hands on the Glorious Model O3 Wireless sitting on the floor in the halls of Gamescom as a slapdash 15-minute product demo. I was a little frustrated that I only got a few minutes with it because it’s not often you have a product that tries to genuinely innovate in a…
There’s more to Taito than Space Invaders. Taito may be little more than a sub-brand owned by Square Enix these days, but once upon a time, this prolific Japanese company was one of the most active and influential in arcade gaming. Everybody knows Space Invaders, of course, the 1978 hit that not only birthed the…

Marvel-ous. It feels like we’re learning more about IO Interactive’s 007 First Light by the day, and today, the team has added another big name to the game’s ever-growing cast list. As revealed in the above trailer, Gemma Chan is joining the cast as Dr. Selina Tan, MI6’s Head of Tactical Simulation. According to the…
There’s a weird dearth of vampire videogames, which is a shame, because I often find myself craving them. This year, at least, we’re finally getting Bloodlines 2, but only a few months later we’ll be switching sides and hunting vamps down in Code Vein 2. During Sony’s latest State of Play, Bandai Namco gave us…
Birt’s Bees might sound like a very cutesy, tame legendary in Borderlands 4, but it’s actually absolutely terrifying. Firing a barrage of homing projectiles, Birt’s Bees has quite the sting, but it’s made even better with parts like Torgue sticky bombs and a taser underbarrel, which, when activated, breaks the damage multiplier of stickies. However,…
Oh boy. Xbox’s TGS stream didn’t exactly set my heart a flutter for most of its duration, but then we got a lovely little treat at the end. Forza Horizon is back, baby, and it’s heading to Japan. Forza Horizon 6’s teaser didn’t give much away, mostly just showing a bunch of licence plates from…
