It's been roughly three months since Asha Sharma took over Xbox, and changes to corporate and business direction haven't stopped coming. From scrapping the "This Is an Xbox" ad campaign to dropping Game Pass prices in exchange for new Call of Duty titles not being on the service from day one, today's Xbox is already feeling different. However, Xbox leadership knows the work is only starting, and it's closely monitoring... Read more ›

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight releases this week on Friday 22nd May (tomorrow, 19th May, for Deluxe Edition owners), and a recurring talking point around the game has been how alike it feels to play as the celebrated Batman Arkham games developed by Rocksteady Studios. Turns out there's a good reason for that: Rocksteady helped make it. Read more Read more ›

As Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 nears completion and we continue to wonder about the long-rumoured FF9 remake, series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has praised a teaser for a hypothetical remake of FF6. The problem is it's fully AI-generated. Read more Read more ›

I still think the best example of the Switch 2's funky new mouse JoyCon exists in the horribly named Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. If you've followed me from my old haunt at VG247, you'll have heard this before, but I think it bears repeating: the best demo of the new hardware doesn't come from the Switch 2 Welcome Tour or something like Drag x Drive, it comes from...

There's something that really stood out for me as someone in the UK who collected American comics at the end of the 1980s. It's that each new comic you got was a doorway to a world of absolute chaos and gimmickry. I'm not talking about the comic stories themselves, but about the American ads that were suddenly blaring out of the alternate spreads. Topps bubble gum cards. Garbage Pail whatevers.... Read more ›

Subnautica 2, like its predecessors, has a strong theme of pacifism running through it. Rather than killing aggressive fish, the game instead provides tools for players to avoid or distract creatures to save their own hides. Now that the Unknown Worlds’ controversial sequel has launched, however, this dedication to non-violence has proven frustrating to a subset of the community. Read more Read more ›

One of the first things I learn about myself in Zero Parades is that I'm a fuck-up – an omnishambling bad omen with cropped hair and unfair cheekbones. Before I was put on ice, I was supposedly one hell of a spy. But that was then, and this is now. The veteran spy fallen from grace is not a new story, but in careful hands, it is almost always a...
