Richard Leadbetter’s tech channel has separated from IGN owner Ziff Davis. Digital Foundry, a massively popular tech and gaming YouTube channel which we feature regularly on this site, has announced today that it is 100% independent. Founded by industry veteran Richard Leadbetter – who has worked on magazines such as CVG, Mean Machines, Maximum and…
“The Saturn itself is a very good system”. Argonaut founder Jez San is someone who knows his way around gaming technology. He coded the best-selling Starglider when he was still in his teens, bringing 3D visuals to hardware that had traditionally struggled with anything that wasn’t 2D. Later, he would join forces with Nintendo to…
Hello! I’m the one half of Simogo that is not Gordon. We’re mostly known for making small, boutique-y games, often story and interface-driven. We try to do things others aren’t and surprise both ourselves and what audience there might be for those things. So, after making three slow and thinky games (Year Walk! Device 6!…
The Nier series is deeply beloved and, alas, deeply underserved. The last mainline game in the series was Nier: Automata, which came out in 2017—almost one whole decade ago. I mean, there was also Nier Reincarnation, a mobile gacha from 2021, but I feel spiritually obligated not to count that one. Hopes were raised when…
The retro-anime adventure launches this September. This week, Sony surprised the gaming space when it announced PlayStation’s disc-based physical releases would end by 2028. It has ignited all sorts of discussions about the future of physical media in the gaming space, and it’s also resulted in some developers taking this opportunity to promote hard copies…
PUBG remains one of Steam’s most-played games, which makes it all the more surprising that PUBG Studios and publisher Krafton haven’t made more attempts to milk it over the years. PUBG: DED NET might be the biggest yank of the udder to date though, revealing an entirely new spin-off roguelite FPS set in the ’90s….
Sovereign Tower has genuinely surprised me. At first glance, it’s a cosy-looking management romp with shades of Reigns and Yes, Your Grace. It’s colourful, a little silly and chock-full of charming eccentrics. This is not an inaccurate assessment, but it’s also so much more—and a lot darker than the soft colour palette and whimsical tone…
Vampire: The Masquerade’s blueblood vamps, the Ventrue, are the fourth and final clan being unveiled for Bloodlines 2. Unlike the unexpected addition of the Banu Haqim, shown off during the PC Gaming Show, the Ventrue reveal has been easier to predict: these vamps are VTM’s aristocracy, heavy hitters that often have important positions in the…
One of 2023’s biggest releases has arrived. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is already out in some parts of the world now, and it’s been received incredibly well by critics so far with a current score of 93 on aggregate websites like Metacritic. In our own review, we said it was “the best 2D Mario game…
December tends to be a pretty quiet month for game releases. It’s a time to look backwards—like at The Game Awards on December 7—and forwards at what’s coming in the new year and beyond. The big news in the latter respect, of course, is that December kicked off with the first GTA 6 trailer. We…
