With Fable (it’s just called Fable, but it’s technically Fable 4) set to release on February 23 next year, we finally have its system requirements. And for a big budget game launching in 2027, they’re not too bad. That’s according to the newly updated Fable FAQ, which says you will need an Intel i7 6850K…
A thing that often happens in this line of work is: a developer or PR person enthusiastically trying to convince you that a not-especially-interesting game is actually incredibly innovative and exciting. The Gamescom demo for Nekome: Nazi Hunter is the first time I have been in the reverse position: I thought the game was interesting,…
“I’m not making this up. It really is this insane”. Arxel Tribe’s point-and-click adventure Ring: The Legend of the Nibelungen hardly got pulses racing when it launched on PC in 1998. While it sold over 600,000 copies, contemporary reviewers largely savaged it, with IGN even calling it “abysmal at best” in a 2.7/10 review. Like…
A new co-op king? The review embargo for Orbitals has lifted, so we’re starting to see a bunch of verdicts making their way online ahead of its Switch 2 launch on 3rd September 2026. Now, we thought it was a cracking co-op experience, and so we awarded Orbitals a score of 9/10. Here’s a snippet…
The MSI Crosshair 16 Max HX E2W is in many ways the polar opposite of the other MSI laptop I recently tested, the Stealth 16 AI+ B3W.

Atlus, my love has come along. Metaphor: ReFantazio appeared on the Gamescom Switch 2 show floor last month, but for those who weren’t lucky enough to attend, you may still be wondering how Atlus’ 2024 fantasy RPG holds up on our beloved little hybrid. Enter today’s new ‘pre-order trailer’. Atlas has dropped a brand new…
Celestial. Every moment in Orbitals feels electrifying. From the first blast of its excellent theme song to soaring through a technicolour galaxy while firing lasers, teaming up with a pal to fix space junk and save our colony, and occasionally stopping to check out a new freaky little alien. This co-operative title moves at a…
Ancient Magic: Bazoe! Mahou Sekai launches this November. The SNES had more than its fair share of amazing RPGs, so you’d be forgiven for having not heard of Ancient Magic: Bazoe! Mahou Sekai, which was released exclusively in Japan by Hot-B in 1993. Thanks to the lack of an English localisation, Ancient Magic doesn’t have…
40 minutes covering the latest news. With Gamescom wrapped, the focus now shifts to the Tokyo Game Show later this month. As part of this, Capcom has now announced it will be broadcasting a Capcom Spotlight Presentation. This event will take place on 16th September 2026 and will bring fans the latest news on Capcom’s…
The studio behind Star Wars Zero Company furloughed up to 80 percent of its staff in the lead up to the RPG’s launch, a Game File report reveals. That means affected staff are technically still employed by the company, but will receive no wage during the furlough period. A representative from Bit Reactor confirmed the…
