Last month, Pokémon celebrated its 30th anniversary. The franchise, a video game and pop culture juggernaut, has endured for generations thanks to its games that celebrate connection, companionship, and competition. But across the series’ lifetime, one game in particular stands out as an intriguing outlier. And it's one The Pokémon Company didn't even make. Read more Read more ›

Crimson Desert is big. So big, it turns out, that this open world game requires not one but three loading screens. The first is a simple bar loading shaders and the like; the second whisks you away to a blocky realm with a twinkling star sitting on its horizon, a strange and tantalising lead-up for a game that bills itself primarily as a high-fantasy action romp. The third sees the... Read more ›

The world is a rather miserable place right now, but at least video games are cool. In the face of endless layoffs and AI slop, plenty of studios and small developers continue to find success, and sometimes we even come across particularly wholesome bits of news such as this one.

Rumours and official news of an animated Final Fantasy 9 series have been a thing for years now, but the project simply vanished at some point, with rumblings pointing to it being binned altogether. In late 2025, new information suggested it was back on track. Now, its comeback has been officially confirmed. Read more Read more ›

Marathon players have uncovered some incredibly strong movement techniques on the Thief Shell, a shell that is proving so strong that it might just be damaging to the game's overall balance. Read more Read more ›

You'll probably have one of two reactions to Dread Delusion's artstyle: you'll either immediately embrace its lurid, retro-inspired world of shimmering, ugly polygons or you'll instantly recoil, rejecting it wholesale. But I'm here to implore you: don't run! Dread Delusion is a game that's purposefully hideous, using the queasy, lurching low-poly geometry of late-90s-era gaming to conjure an atmosphere that's supposed to feel off-puttingly wrong. It's horror-adjacent in that regard;... Read more ›

In the lead up to the Cryo Archives being added to Marathon, new challenges have appeared within the in-game Codex. While many seem quite arduous, one in particular is a lovely callback to a particular quirk of the original Marathon series. Read more Read more ›

When we talk about high-profile live-service failures, Remedy Entertainment's FBC: Firebreak is often left out of the conversation. That's because the co-op shooter never really gained a lot of traction, despite the the post-Alan Wake 2 hype it was graced with before launch. Less than a year after its launch, the developers are saying goodbye... but there is good news, too. Read more Read more ›

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's marketing strategy so far has been all about drowning fans in video game references and giving casual movie-goers more cute little comedic beats to tide them over until the final release of the film. It'll probably pay off, looking at the online reactions, but Nintendo and Universal aren't done with the teases just yet. Read more Read more ›

At the risk of skipping to the conclusion, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is fine with a capital F. If you're looking for a cooperative shooter to fill a weekend for yourself and up to three mates, Saber Interactive's latest zombie blaster provides this capably and at a sensible price for a game of its scope. It's silly, messy, disposable fun that won't challenge or inspire you in any great way,... Read more ›

MindsEye has had quite the journey since it released last summer, and most of it hasn't been positive. From developer Build A Rocket Boy scrambling to get things back on track after a catastrophic launch to studio co-CEO Mark Gerhard blaming many of its woes on "organised espionage and corporate sabotage" (which has yet to be proven, byt the way) it's been a lot.

Nvidia has responded to the widespread criticism of its new tech known as DLSS 5, which it says will "[bridge] the divide between rendering and reality", but from what we have seen so far mostly appears to layer a gaudy AI filter over a game's original work. Read more Read more ›
