Hi there, PlayStation fans! We’re delighted to share an element of our game that means a lot to us. This time we want to tell you about the heritage of Shadow of the Beast and the ways we honor it. As fans of the original, we wanted to make sure that we did everything we…
Five years ago, Strixhaven: School of Mages showed us Magic: The Gathering’s original take on the wizard school genre, which covers everything from Discworld’s Unseen University to A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin—though obviously Harry Potter is the elephant in the room. Back then, Wizards of the Coast hadn’t gone all-in on the…
Palworld is an edgy game—more in implication than reality. While it’s grown a reputation for a Happy Tree Friends-style subversiveness, everything in its world is pretty sanitised.

This feature was put to excellent use in a wide range of SNES…
Firaxis has announced that Civilization 7 has been verified for Steam Deck ahead of its launch on February 11. This will be the first entry in the series to get the full green checkmark seal of approval on Valve’s popular Linux-based handheld. Civilizations 5 and 6 are both playable, but with caveats on Steam Deck:…
Like clockwork. The latest physical UK charts are here and, as expected, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has landed with a band, comfortably taking the number one position despite selling roughly 25% less than the previous entry in the franchise (thanks, Chris Dring). This means that Super Mario Bros. Wonder is no longer holding…
