Can I have them back please? Of all the horror franchises I’ve subjected myself to over the years, Fatal Frame is the one that sticks in my mind most as properly, actually, scary. It’s the answer I’ll give every single time to the question of what game series has scared me the most, and it’s…
But what will it have to show? After putting together a staggering on-floor presence last year, Nintendo has announced that it’ll be returning to Cologne this summer for Gamescom 2026. The news was shared by the Nintendo DE X account, confirming that the company will be in attendance throughout the whole event from 26th –…
There was surprise and delight when Summer Game Fest brought the reveal of 1666: Amsterdam, the long awaited dream project from Assassin’s Creed co-creator Patrice Désilets. But the mood quickly changed when eager players began exploring a playable prologue for the witchy action-adventure that was released alongside the announcement and began spotting in-game assets that…
I was expecting 2.0 to be Cyberpunk 2077’s last big update—which made me pretty dang surprised and excited to hear that a follow-up patch, 2.1, actually has some good meat to its bones.

When Death Stranding 2 released for PC last month I didn’t think it would work well on Steam Deck. And it didn’t: when I booted it up on my OLED, nothing I tinkered with could stop its framerate from lurching between the teens and mid-20s with long hitches in-between, which was slightly disappointing because Death…
Campers already appeared from r/Microcenter Hardware launches are often bracing experiences. Scrambling to hit checkout on an online basket is its own rush, but there are those who really want to ensure their spot in line.
