The Blood of Dawnwalker—a new vampire RPG from former CD Projekt devs—has been half on my radar, but its latest gameplay trailer (following a first one in June) really has the sauce: There’s a lot of very apparent Witcher 3 DNA on display, but that just seems to be a comfortable starting point for a…

I sometimes wonder how Valve, which released over 20,000 new games on Steam in 2025 alone, can possibly be checking every single one of those games for potentially questionable content before they go up for sale.

Pokémon, snapped. If we had to pick the gaming hot topic for January 2024, it would be ‘not-Pokémon’. Palworld seems to be the lookalike on everybody’s lips, but that doesn’t mean that it is the only game saying “Ditto” to the Pokémon formula out there. And, boy, does Nintendo know it. Yes, as flagged by…
Are you a bad enough dude to bring it to Sega? Look, Data East’s Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja isn’t a great game – we all know it. However, it seems to have had a disproportionate impact on the world of video games thanks to its cool premise, amusing dialogue with “President Ronnie”, and the…
I began to suspect things were unstable when the president beat a man to death in the street. Daniel Webster was an odd choice of leader by the American people: his predecessor, Andrew Jackson, did a lot of hate crimes and died early, his popularity hovering somewhere around the level of ‘active rebellion’. Yet when…
Anyone else feel like the past decade has been one of the gradual normalisation of privacy-defiling practices? If so, you’ll be saddened to hear that Mozilla is binning the ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) privacy option in version 135 of Firefox.
