It’s easy to forget that, before the release of its first beach volleyball spin-off, the Dead or Alive series were taken fairly seriously as fighting games. We may have joked about the ridiculous jiggle physics, but the original was still considered a decent successor to Virtua Fighter 2. Nowadays, of course, the Dead or Alive…
Three months after 14 Disney games were delisted from Steam without warning, the scythe has returned to cut down a few more. As caught by the roving eye of SteamDB, 15 more games under (some form of) the Disney brand were summarily delisted from the Steam store earlier today. Here’s the full list: Disney High…
A new challenger approaches. Welcome to the weekend! No megaton announcements over the past seven days, but plenty going on. Nintendo revealed a new mobile game and released a Switch 2 exclusive, The Pokémon Company is looking to use government ID to combat TCG scalping in Japan, and a potential launch for Switch 1 in…
What would it take to make you use Epic’s launcher? Free games? Even better revenue for devs? Or perhaps an experience that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out? Well, Epic’s already tried the first two, so now it’s onto the third as it hires a new VP to oversee and hopefully fix…
Mario vs DK! Princess Peach! Slave Zero X! With a whole month somehow already behind us in 2024, we dive headfirst into February. Nintendo’s treating us to not one, but two first-party treasures over the next couple of months, and there’s plenty more to check out, too. We’ve been busy rounding up our usual selection…

We’d waited a long time to extol the virtues of this excellent entry to people who never picked up a Wii U, and the wait, thankfully, was worth…
Remnant 2 is an absolute banger. We gave it a solid 84 in our Remnant 2 review, and I’ve personally been an ambassador for this thing since day one. It’s a multiversal romp with some weird builds and creepy monsters to shoot, and it’s also received some really solid post-launch support. Now you can play…
I was wooed consistently through the latest trailer for RoadCraft, Saber Interactive’s follow-up to Expeditions: Mudrunner about rebuilding infrastructure across global disaster zones, but it was the phrase “mobile quarry” that convinced me Roadcraft is the one. Quarries, as you may know, are generally static affairs, given they are literally the ground. But RoadCraft’s portable…
But does that mean anything? Geoff Keighley has revealed the first slate of partners for next week’s Summer Game Fest, which kicks off on Friday 6th June. Among the big-name publishers and developers are Bandai Namco, Capcom, CD Projekt Red, and Sony, among many others. But there’s one logo jumping out at many amidst the…
Just days after Valve started reversing bans for those who used AMD’s Anti-Lag+ feature in Counter-Strike 2, players have discovered a reproducible method for triggering a VAC ban on your account: moving your mouse very, very fast. As shared by YouTuber Water CS2 and others (and spotted by PCGamesN), several players have incurred the wrath…
