When I travel, I always bring a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I pretty much have to. To listen to music and to block out as much of the outside world as possible. I'm quite fortunate in the job that I do that allows me to basically take a different pair of headphones or earbuds every time I go, and I think I've found the pair that'll be sticking with me...

Ubisoft has told Anno 117: Pax Romana fans that it will be replacing an AI-generated loading screen image, insisting it had "slipped through" and had only meant to be used as a placeholder. Read more Read more ›

Usually, I'd start one of these retrospective things with a wiggly line transition to the past for a bit of the old nostalgia-tickling scene-setting. The trouble is, my one overriding memory of Skies of Arcadia is so powerful I can barely remember anything else about the game at all. I can't, for instance, recall where I was when I played it, or even when; and I'm certainly not going to... Read more ›

It's fair to say that upon its initial release, Sid Meier's Civilization 7 rather split opinion. I don't think anybody would argue that it was the best-ever Civ game out of the gate. Nobody sane would, anyway. But for a breadth of opinion you only need look at my review on VG247 when compared to the verdict here on Eurogamer. On release, those two opinions were two stars and worlds... Read more ›

If there's one area of tech that's exploded in recent times. It's wireless earbuds with noise-cancelling powers. We've seen all sorts of options emerge up and down the price ladder from both established audio players and newcomers, and here I thought I'd put a few premium pairs I've looked at to the test and come to a conclusion of whether any of them are much different and worth your time....

Over the last few years, we've seen a real explosion in true mass market Android phones that match flagship phones spec-for-spec without too many apparent sacrifices. Indeed, for a while now, when someone has come to ask for a phone recommendation, I've suggested they buy a budget to mid-range headset with a good OLED screen, a decent set of cameras and long battery life. At the end of the day,... Read more ›

It's safe to say that Irish video game maker Brendan Greene, known by the alias "PlayerUnknown", is an ideas man. He's credited with creating and popularising the battle royale genre, initially experimenting with it in an Arma 3 mod, then building it into zombie game H1Z1, before making the extraordinarily successful multiplayer shooter PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - or PUBG as we know it now. Big ideas are irresistible to Brendan Greene,... Read more ›

In the opening of the new Call of Duty, Milo Ventimiglia lays a cigar on the grave of series fixture Frank Woods. He takes a long stroll through a cemetery with Troy Marshall, the powerful backbone of last year's story, now white-haired and walking with a stick. Four decades have passed since the events of Black Ops 6; gone in the blink of an eye, the pull of a trigger.... Read more ›

It's difficult to believe, but it has been the better part of two decades since the last new Metroid Prime. The third game, Corruption, hit the Wii back in 2007. The good news for those who have been eagerly waiting for more Prime is that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond certainly appears to be a confident expression of that. It's more Prime. In that, it'll give you what you want. On... Read more ›
