They’ll say they don’t get it, young simmer. They’ll ask, “You do what all day? You work for a living, and then come home to play a videogame where you work a different, more grueling job?” They won’t see the irony in saying that and then queuing for ranked in Street Fighter 6. But take…
I’m sharing conversation over breakfast with an undertaker and a charming widow when a clatter of dishes draws their attention away. This is my chance—I swipe the unattended room key. An anonymous tip has led me to investigate the disappearance of one Evelyn Deane from Blake Manor in Ireland. Luckily for my investigation, it turns…
Videogame merchandise wasn’t a big thing when I was younger, unless you were willing to pay some impressive import fees and wait months for a package to arrive. When I was a teenager, and mostly after the success of Fortnite, themed clothing started appearing in supermarkets and high-street stores, but it was always a bit…
Forget moustaches, novels, and heavily discounted PC components—November this year has been all about pirates. Earlier this month, piratical survival sim Salt 2 weighed its early access anchor and sailed into the 1.0-pen ocean, while this week saw the release of Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation, a buccaneer-tinged blaster built in the original Doom engine. Then…
While I’m well aware that finished games often rest atop a mountain of cut or heavily revised work, I’m still regularly surprised by how extensively projects can change over the course of their development. A striking example was recently provided by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, who revealed that Master Chief’s suit design was revised nine…
Back in 2023, South Korean developer Wonder Potion released Sanabi, a sleek, cyberpunk-themed action platformer that saw players slinging themselves around levels with a giant grappling hook.

Two years on from Sanabi’s launch,…
When Games Workshop branched out into fiction it did so cautiously, with a string of short story anthologies before it committed to anything so ambitious as novels. A highlight of those anthologies were the stories about Gotrek and Felix, a duo in the sword-and-sorcery tradition, with one a homicidal maniac and the other a simple…

There’s a character in Fallout dating back to the original game called Harold. He’s a sorry sight, mutated beyond recognition with a sapling growing out of his exposed cranial innards, but how he got that way isn’t clear. Fans have speculated for years as to whether he’s a virus-infected mutant, a radiation-poisoned ghoul, both, or…
Remember those beige computer speakers everyone used to have on their desks? It used to be normal to play PC games with speakers, before we got obsessed with positional audio and wanted headsets with microphones so we could yell at each other over TeamSpeak. But you don’t have to shrink your aural experience when you’re…
