One of the key selling points of Battlefield has always been immersion, a vague buzzword that you just kind of know means it feels atmospheric, another oddly ephemeral phrase when it comes to games. Having a tank round the corner and start blasting the front off the building I’m hiding in is intense. Battlefield 6…
I’m going to date myself here, but I do have a nostalgic fondness for ye olde game guides of yore, ASCII art and all. Though I’ll never forget those community-based efforts, I am glad guide writing has become a more dedicated job role—especially as I continue to have my arse handed to me in Elden…
Different franchises colliding in videogames has been a thing since some guy at Banpresto realised they could make Godzilla and a Gundam kick a football around an 8-bit pitch in 1992’s Battle Soccer. Sticking a familiar face in a sea of original characters is a solid marketing strategy, and something that I’ve been especially privy…

Readers of a certain vintage will file the name ‘Habbo Hotel’ in the same mental filing cabinet as games like Club Penguin, The Matrix Online, and that one game on Newgrounds where you fling a plump little guy made of circles around a grey void and also set him on fire. It’s a game of…
This isn’t news to anyone who’s been paying attention for the past few decades, but the world is coming to an end and we’re all gonna burn. Best be prepared for the inevitable apocalypse by stocking up on guns, food, and most of all, toilet paper—and it wouldn’t hurt to have a few friends at…
The second I’ve dropped my bags in whatever rundown cabin I’ve moved into in a farming simulator, I’m usually out the door and picking up whatever is lying around on the floor outside. I absolutely love a foraging mechanic, so when I first saw Out and About, a game that turns this one mechanic into…
Intel really can’t catch a break. With momentum building around the idea that the company will probably have to spin off its ailing chip factories to survive, now the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, has called for the immediate resignation of Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan. Trump’s post earlier today…
