Picking a side is easy, right? As you’re no doubt aware, Sony has caused quite a kerfuffle with the announcement that it is ending the production of physical media for its PlayStation 5 console in 2028, and intends to make its next machine a totally digital proposition. The fallout of this news has been dramatic,…
For the most part, the long-awaited and worst-kept secret, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, is very faithful to one of my favourite games from 13 years ago. And anything that’s brand-new, like some islands, the ship officers, and an extended story, fits in pretty seamlessly, almost like they were there in the original. But you…
Is that… 2000xRESIST? Sunset Visitor’s 1000xRESIST was one of our favourite games of 2024, and it looks like we might be getting treated to a Switch 2 version, too.

Black Flag Resynced has finally launched, and with it, a reprisal of the eternal debate surrounding the different stripes of Assassin’s Creed combat. As Morgan notes in our review, Resynced ultimately “loses more than it gains” thanks to its wide-ranging changes masquerading as quality of life, and I’m inclined to agree. For me, the most…
The full scale of Xbox’s rash of layoffs is still to be properly tallied up—partially because CEO Asha Sharma is yet to announce a further 1,600 axed roles. One particularly harsh casualty is id Software, which has taken around 136 job losses on the chin. A move that one employee described this week as reducing…
Wiping the floor. Ahoy folks, we’re back with another look at the latest Japanese boxed charts (goodness, will these even exist in a few years time..?), courtesy of Famitsu. It’s time for Rhythm Heaven Groove to shine, and wowie-zowie, what a great start. What many are deeming to be the Switch’s swan song has absolutely…
