At first blush, it'd be easy to take Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days as just another third-person action shooter of the Xbox 360 era - a period absolutely replete with such games. To be honest, that description is certainly true of its predecessor - a game probably now more broadly remembered for its role in one of games media's largest scandals.

Most of us don't decide our lifelong-career when we're nine years old - but then again, most of us aren't Tony Hawk.

"I was nine years old and my older brother was skating in the alleyway," Hawk recalls of the first time he saw a board, " I... Read more ›

It's been 22 years since the last home console F-Zero game (not counting the handheld spin-offs and 2023's F-Zero 99), but with the launch of Nintendo's Switch 2 we finally got a chance to revisit the GameCube's outstanding F-Zero GX. Despite some wonky controls, it's a game that still stands up today. No wonder Nintendo hasn't attempted to better it. Read more Read more ›

Hurtle back through space and time with me, will you, to my living room sofa in 2005. Hunched over, Ork-like and sallow, I used to balance my laptop on one of those nesting coffee tables that was a tiny bit too small, a squeaky little bluetooth travel mouse on the even smaller one beside it. It got so uncomfortable at one point I had to give up on the luxury... Read more ›

When you think of skateboarding games, what is the first thing you think of? For me, it's the music - whether it was being introduced to the impeccable drum work of Josh Freese in The Vandals' Euro-Barge on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, trying to get my voice as high as 3 Inches of Blood's singer in Deadly Sinners in Tony Hawk's Underground 2, or learning how to play Jack...

It would be silly if Wizards of the Coast, the brilliantly named company in charge of Dungeons & Dragons, didn't do a follow-up to Baldur's Gate 3, given the barnstorming success that game has enjoyed - and the wonders it's done for the D&D brand. Indeed Hasbro, the owner of Wizards, has talked quite openly about wanting a successor before, which is why it's no surprise to hear Wizards president... Read more ›

Can he do it again? The creator of Steam sensation Bongo Cat, Marcel Zurawka, is taking a new idle typing game to Gamescom as he searches for a publisher for it. He won't tell me what it is yet when we talk on Discord, because he only has a small build to show publishers, he says, and is a month or two from revealing more. But if Zurawka can leverage...
