Epic Games Store's latest weekly freebie is available now and I can barley contain myself

With another week of 2024 now crossed off the calendar, Epic has delved deep into its big bag of treats to reveal the Epic Games Store's latest freebie - and this time it's Farming Simulator 22. This not-quite-latest instalment in developer Giants Software's long-running agricultural sim (and I'm about to paraphrase the official blurb here seeing as I'm not much of an expert on this one) gives wannabe farmers the...

The Sims 4 pledges more bug fixes more often as it looks to address years of 'frustrating' technical issues

The Sims 4 is getting on a bit, and, as regular players will know, the whole thing - which includes over 70s bits of DLC piled onto the base game over the last 10 years - is starting to get at little bit creaky. And that's something EA is finally acknowledging, and has now assembled a team specifically to tackle 'frustrating' technical issues the game has amassed over time. EA... Read more ›

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is a defining moment in the evolution of real-time graphics

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is a carefully paced cinematic game - almost like the logical conclusion of those early 90s FMV experiments. I mean that in the best way and I'm fascinated by its existence - in an era where it feels as if publishers are pushing to fill their games with arguably too many features, Hellblade 2 is a tight, pure experience more so than a typical video game....

Assassin's Creed composer on the franchise's evolution, and scoring larger, more adventurous worlds

Listen carefully to the finale of last week's Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer, and a familiar musical theme can be heard. Originally titled 'Earth' but best known to fans of the franchise as 'Ezio's Family', you may as well at this point just call it The Assassin's Creed Series Theme. Unfortunately, when I speak to the brains behind it, veteran composer Jesper Kyd, he says he can't say more about Assassin's... Read more ›

Atari buys Intellivision brand, ending longest running console war

Atari has purchased the Intellivision brand, ending what Atari claims to be the "longest running console war in history". Atari's home consoles went head-to-head with Mattel's Intellivision in the late 1970s and 1980s, long before Nintendo and Sega competed in the 1990s. Intellivision even enlisted actor George Plimpton for an infamous series of adverts comparing the two consoles. Now Atari owns the rights to over 200 games from the Intellivision... Read more ›

Why is Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door so brilliant? Because it embraces Mario for the blank slate he is

This piece is a retrospective rather than a review and contains spoilers for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.Simply the thing I am? Oli Welsh, gone and much-missed (he didn't die), once made an excellent point to me about the Mario RPGs. There's this brilliant running joke in some of them that I had not spotted until he mentioned it. The joke's simple: nobody recognises Mario when he first arrives... Read more ›

After almost 28 years, Super Mario 64 has been beaten without using the A button

An intrepid Super Mario 64 player with far more skill and patience than I can ever hope to obtain has done the once unthinkable. They have completed the game without pressing the A button - you know, the one that makes Mario jump and therefore is pretty darn useful when navigating the platform and enemy laden world - once. Not one single time. Really.While Super Mario 64 first released in... Read more ›
