So, BioWare probably isn’t going to be making a new Dragon Age game any time soon—maybe ever, depending on how things go. After Dragon Age: The Veilguard underperformed, much of its team (including senior members who had been making Dragon Age games for a while) were shuffled around or laid off. This isn’t necessarily out…
There once was a time in which, if you were a fan of a videogame, you might get asked which of said games in the series you had played. Now, I’m not saying we need to bring this era back—it was an obnoxious period full of gatekeepers—but Sega president and COO Shuji Utsumi’s recent words…
The superhero-themed Lego games are unusual in that they’re rarely homages to specific movies—unlike Lego Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or Indiana Jones, the Lego Batman games tell original stories, with a few nods to the comics and movies that inspired them, rather than recreating whole scenes in slapstick-brick form. That’s changing with…
Meet the crew. We are getting ever closer to the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on 1st April, and over the weekend, Nintendo revealed its official roster of character posters for the film’s main players. We took a look at the foe-filled Mario one last week, but an additional six posters have since…
You’d think it would be fairly easy to make a BioShock game: After all, “there’s always a lighthouse,” as the man once said. Yet it’s proven remarkably challenging: After three acclaimed games in relatively quick succession—BioShock in 2007, BioShock 2 in 2010, and BioShock Infinite in 2013—there’s been nothing. Efforts have been made: Hangar 13…
The Relics of the Past contract in Skull and Bones is likely your first taste of treasure hunting in the game. When you acquire this quest from the Sea People Merchant in Vorona Falls, you’ll be tasked with using a map to hunt down a long-lost relic. This is the first of many treasure maps…
It’s almost Christmas, which means Santa is coming to distribute presents to all the good little children—and, somewhat weirdly, put coal in the stockings of kids who have been “bad.” Look, Santa is an immortal Elflord, it is not for us to understand his motives. But there’s one place even naughty kids are rewarded by…
Slim, sexy, and limited Our normal reaction to anything that says “limited edition” is to roll our eyes, as if making tens or hundreds of thousands of something truly qualifies as limited. Yeah, right. And that would have been our reaction to the Asus Zenbook UX305 in “crystal white,” except that only 200 of these…
Announced during PlayStation Experience 2017‘s opening presentation, Firewall Zero Hour will deploy 4v4 tactical FPS action to the PS VR battlefield. My hands-on demo pointed to an extremely promising game — in fact, perhaps the most promising and exciting VR game I’ve played. If you’ve ever loved a Rainbow Six or SWAT game, you’ll immediately…
Pineapple Express. We reviewed the original Suika Game back when it released on Switch in 2023, giving it a 7/10 and calling it a “ripe little puzzler”, and one that you can nab for less than £3. A good thing in this economy, we can all agree. Now, fans of Suika’s puzzling charms can dive…
