Have you heard the good and noble word of our Leader? I’d be happy to tell you all about him if you happen to have a few minutes. Or hours. Days? The rest of your life? Honestly, it’ll be fun. Why don’t you put on these robes and JOIN US in our little sandbox of…
It’s like seeing an old friend: the clanking in the vents over your head, the way the ribbed tail passes over objects with a thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk, the head-within-a-head, the screaming. You are here, you are back, you have been impaled through the abdomen and killed. I have played perhaps 20 minutes of Alien: Isolation 2 at…
We’re long past the days of assuming the Steam Deck can comfortably handle the new big-budget action game of the moment, but here’s a nice surprise: Valve’s handheld is not a bad way to play Onimusha: Way of the Sword. It’s not quite the optimization darling that Resident Evil Requiem was earlier this year, but…
Some players came away from Onimusha’s demo worried that the game would be too easy, a concern I’ve addressed in-depth based on my own time with the game. The good news is that I think the challenge level is well-judged for most people, and Onimusha does have a hard mode. For those who hoped to…

In part, that’s down to animation –…
While I’ve bemoaned the expensive state of handheld gaming PCs at length, that doesn’t mean I find a cool concept model any less head-turning. Enter Acer’s latest Project DualPlay creation: a handheld gaming PC with a flippable screen that can turn into a laptop. The Project DualPlay Mini was shown off on-stage at IFA 2026,…
Picture this: I am emerging from a pile of paper, red string, and thumbtacks, hair (I have hair in this scenario) dishevelled, breathless, yelling like I’ve well and truly lost it: I knew it! I knew we were getting a crossbow in Final Fantasy 14! I am then carted away by people in white coats…
Will we get a release date? Level-5 has announced a new showcase, appropriately titled ‘Level-5 Vision 2026 II’, scheduled to take place on 10th September at 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET / 1 PM BST / 2 PM CEST. This is a follow-up to the company’s previous Vision showcase back in April; an…
The actor was “never without his Game Boy”. The last few weeks have seen the passing of many famous celebrities, including, notably, the legendary actor, voice actor, and musician Tim Curry, who passed away last month at the age of 80. Initially rising to fame for his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror…
We got confirmation a few weeks ago that former WWE and Marvel superhero star Dave Bautista would be taking on the role of Kratos in Amazon’s upcoming God of War series after an unfortunate accident that saw the previous lead, Ryan Hurst, have to step down from the role after tearing a bicep. Even before…
