“It’s a homage to my mum and my childhood”. Everyone remembers the first animated movie that scared them. For me, it was The Fox and the Hound — probably not the first movie in Disney’s canon that anyone remembers, but it was one of my brother’s favourites, so it was on regular rotation. Which means…
Put down your trowel, stop smelling the roses, and listen to me for a second. Strange Horticulture, a narrative puzzler about running a plant shop that also happens to be one of the best detective games around, is free to keep on Epic this week. Originally released in 2022, Strange Horticulture puts players in the…

Since releasing in February, Two Point Studios has been doling out freebies like…
Just the other day I was thinking “I could really go for a survival game in the style of the original Far Cry”.

Playtonic will share another “major update” next week. Yooka-Replaylee is due out on the Switch 2 this year, and appears it will be getting a proper physical release on Nintendo’s new platform. A new listing has popped up on the Canadian website Video Games Plus, and according to the description, the “full game will be…
In the trailer tornado of Gamescom 2025, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight stood out to me, and not just because it had Matt Berry as the voice of Lego Bane. The combat looks like it’s got the counter mechanics of the Arkham games, and the traversal has Arkham-style grappling and gliding. Since neither…
Certain Windows 365 Copilot users now have access to a new feature in Excel that lets you use Microsoft’s Copilot AI to generate formulas, but you might want to be careful how you use it. Microsoft is already warning users that the AI might not always be accurate. The new “COPILOT” function allows you to…
