Karnov’s Revenge! Magical Drop! Street Hoop! Spinmaster! While the disappointment of knowing the Neo Geo AES+ won’t arrive until late next year still stings, the system got plenty of coverage at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, along with the welcome announcement that Zero Wing is coming to the platform. We now know four other releases…
One of the biggest tragedies of Xbox’s wide-reaching reset is id Software, which was cut by a whopping 136 roles. And while official statements from Microsoft and the studio have tried to reassure players that it’s not been gutted, whether that’s just a panicking Xbox trying to calm anxieties is up for debate.

I am more and more convinced that an insidious cabal of games industry executives—headed by ‘Todd Howard’ and ‘Phil Spencer’—is conspiring to prevent the rumoured Oblivion remaster/remake from releasing to drive me, specifically, to madness.

After spending some hands-on time with it back at Summer Game Fest, this throwback to the…
Today’s explosive Battlefield 6 launch is already breaking into the history books on Steam, but on the EA App, things couldn’t be going worse. For hours now, Battlefield 6 owners who bought the game through EA’s official storefront have been locked out of all modes due to a strange entitlement bug. EA is working on…
Help solve the strange case of a missing woman! When you think of horror games, the Game Boy might not be the first platform that immediately springs to mind, but nonetheless, the recent homebrew The Melting Apartment from Flower Studio is a short yet effective spine-tingler that we think is well worth your time (thanks…
“I’m here to help you out with that!” So, says the WORMGPT chatbot in the breezy, impossibly upbeat tone that’s become characteristic of current AI models.
