Alan Wake 2 certainly isn’t afraid to be weird, whether it’s letting you change the layout of a level at the press of a button, or suddenly turning into a full-blown musical.

Miklos Daniel Brody, a cloud engineer formerly employed at a bank, has been sentenced to two years in prison for “a network intrusion and for making false statements to a government agency” following a secret service investigation. Seemingly angered by his employer taking disciplinary action against him, Brody kept his work laptop under false pretences…

I never imagined that the first time I downloaded Fortnite on my PC would be to play a rhythm game created by the Rock Band folk, but here we are. As a huge rhythm game fiend, my Twitter timeline was saturated with clips from Fortnite Festival over the weekend, where Fry belts out Bad Romance…
When I played Baldur’s Gate 3 back in the autumn, I decided to roll with a Dark Urge Paladin, and it was such a fascinating experience that I wrote a whole article about it. But to give you the notes, combining a class that’s sworn to abide by justice with a character who just flippin’…
