Nightdive Studios (the studio previously behind critically acclaimed remasters of System Shock and System Shock 2) has announced that it will be giving the same treatment to Looking Glass Studios’ influential “first-person sneaker” Thief: The Dark Project. In case you’re unfamiliar, Thief: The Dark Project is widely…
Lockpicking in Gothic Remake is my worst nightmare. So, when Fingers asks you to pick Scatty’s chest to steal his ring in the early A Ring for Fingers quest, I immediately wanted nothing to do with it. However, it can help gain the favour of the Shadows to join the Old Camp, one of the…
“Everyone has suddenly forgotten how to develop background assets”. Sega finally lifted the lid on its long-awaited Crazy Taxi reboot last weekend, but there’s one aspect of the reveal that hasn’t found favour with everyone.

My thumbs are raw. My pulse is elevated. My regrets are many. Nestled in a corner of this weekend’s Summer Game Fest Play Days event in Los Angeles is, I suspect, a perfect videogame in the making. N+ Infinity Times Two is a floaty ninja platformer—the latest in a series that started over 20 years…
Creeping in before GTA. Xbox and Mojang have confirmed that Minecraft Dungeons 2 will launch on the Switch 1 & 2 on 29th September 2026, joining what is already a jam-packed schedule as publishers try to get ahead of GTA 6. Okay granted, it’s not toooo bad if you’re just on Switch 2, with LEGO…
You ‘aving a Dracu-laugh? Konami has confirmed that Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will launch on 15th October 2026 during today’s Xbox Showcase. The thing is, you might have noticed that the Switch logo was missing from the line-up at the end of the trailer, raising a very important question: is it even coming to Nintendo’s console…
While there’s never any shortage of games releasing on Steam any given day, the release calendar for big-budget game productions has felt somewhat thin this year.
