Now that’s sweet. We are mere hours away from The Game Awards 2025, where we’ll finally learn which of this year’s nominees will walk away with the coveted GOTY trophy. Hades II is one of the six games up for the grand prize, and before the ceremony can get underway, developer Supergiant Games has shared…
It’s been a hell of a ride for Highguard, in all the wrong ways, and it crossed an ugly milestone last night when developer Wildlight Entertainment laid off “most of the staff” just 16 days after the game’s release. Doubtless, there are plenty of reasons for Highguard’s failure to catch fire: Morgan Park probably nailed…
The Evil Empire expands. We’ve assumed that it would be coming our way for some time now, but Dead Cells developer Evil Empire has today finally given its slick roguelike, The Rogue Prince of Persia, a Switch release date. This one will be arriving on the eShop (for both Switch and Switch 2) on 16th…
Well ohh-rah! Another world premiere, FPS Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War just unveiled its debut trailer during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, introduced by none other than Casper Van Dien, the actor who plays Johnny Rico in the movies. He seems to have lost an eye, but any sacrifice is a small price to…
As a guide writer, I love it when a game has lots of locked doors. It’s fun tracking down keys, cracking them open, and discovering what treasures are being kept within—or at least it is to me. Crimson Desert has some really great puzzles, whether you’re out exploring the world, or trying to crack open…
Is this your destiny? When Harold Ryan, former Bungie CEO and president, formed his new studio ProbablyMonsters in 2016, he remarked how that the aim was to transform how AAA games are developed, hoping to create a more sustainable environment for creators to, well, create in. Now, the fledgling studio has announced its first two…
World of Warcraft’s next expansion is almost here and with it will be a mountain of changes to how the game is played. Not only has Blizzard pruned many of the combat mods, or addons, that people have relied on for years, but every class in the game has seen significant changes to how they…
I usually expect blank stares when I wax nostalgic about The Guild 2, a rough diamond that’s part management game, part life sim, part RPG. It’s the kind of game that does well in central Europe but not remotely as well elsewhere. Your classic eurojank romp: big on ambition, not so much on optimisation or…
Along with Jack Black and Giovanni Ribisi… Cameo appearances by video games in mainstream media certainly aren’t a new thing, and during the ’90s, several big titles were featured in both movies and TV shows. One example we’ve been reminded of by Twitter user Rooflemonger is a memorable appearance by Sega’s iconic Virtua Fighter 2…
I’ll be right up front about this, so strap in: the Audeze MM-100 is not for everyone. Nor, it must be said, is it designed to be. Audeze describes the planar magnetic drivers used here as “tuned for production-grade accuracy”, and it really isn’t kidding. But if pin-point audio precision is your goal, the Audeze…
