Hi. It's that time again - Nintendo Switch 2 in the headline, and some analysts have said a thing. You'll want to listen too, because it's an estimate of the price you could be paying for the console, not that these experts seem to reckon how much it costs will have much effect on Nintendo's ability to shift "boatloads" of units early on. Read more
Monster Hunter Wilds is getting another important change in the upcoming title update. It may not be a new monster, nor a new difficulty option, but nonetheless it's something that needs doing!

Sigh. Here we go. Because everything's got to involve some shitty AI tech now, Xbox has just shown off a gaming version of Microsoft's Copilot AI that it'll be deploying at some point, so that you can ask a useless AI assistant stuff like, er, "Okay, I’ve got some wood. What can I do with that?" Read more

You know Disco Elysium, that game that's arguably better known at this point for all the fallout at developer ZA/UM and beyond which followed its initial release, often proving as seriously concerning as it has strange? Read more
A new official Dune Awakening video has been released by Funcom, this time showcasing a bunch of the desert, as well as player exploration through the sands. Basically, it's a fancy way of showcasing the player progression as far as sightseeing, traversal, and resource gathering goes. Read more
If you've been enjoying Monster Hunter Wilds as a nude buff male thanks to modders, I have important news. There's now a mod that'll let you ensure that a bunch of poor monsters are bearing nearly as much skin as your character, and it's only, er, very cursed. Read more

Monster Hunter Wilds has been out for a little while now, and as such, many players who have sunk unhealthy numbers into the game are running out of things to do. Totally normal! You can't drop 100+ hours of your week into anything without it getting a bit drab. However, rather than fishing or complaining on Reddit, a select few have created new goals to strive towards: Solo speed hunts. Read more

Today - March 12, 2025 - marks the tenth anniversary of Yakuza 0's initial PS4 release in Japan. Ok, so it didn't drop worldwide until 2017, which is why you might be a bit confused right now, but still - a momentous day. Let the Kazuma Kiryu or Goro Majima disco dancing GIFs fly forth, like an army of suave gangsters who're late for a street brawl with some generic goons. Read more

Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM has officially thrown its hat into the kinda DE successor maelstrom, announcing an upcoming spy RPG codenamed Project C4, which its developers explicitly say isn't a Disco sequel. Read more
If you're like me, a Monster Hunter Wilds quest probably takes you a few minutes to complete. Maybe even more, if you're tackling one of the game's tempered monsters. However, some players are using a cheeky cheesy strategy to complete hunt quests in a matter of seconds. Their secret? Poison ammo. Read more
A leaked video of Sony's internal prototype for an AI-powered NPC has appeared online, showing Aloy from the Horizon series responding to questions both in a demo and during gameplay. Shortly after a video of a presentation on the project was posted on YouTube, it was taken down by Muso, a copyright enforcement company who works for PlayStation alongside other corporate clients. Read more

Read more
If you're like me, you've spent 90% of your waking hours since you learned that Baldur's Village - the Stardew Valley mod which adds a town full of Baldur's Gate 3 characters to the chill farming game - had come out wondering one thing. How its upcoming Halsin romance might handle the base game's beary bits. Here's an update. Read more
In case you missed it, Warframe will be releasing its 60th playable warframe later this month, on March 19.

A few weeks ago, EA officially gave name to its testing initiative for the next Battlefield. The publisher revealed Battlefield Labs as the new banner for all things community testing-related, and subsequently opened player sign-ups. Read more
I think It’s fair to say that Monster Hunter Wilds is a far more accessible game than World, and certainly more than anyone could’ve predicted for a mainline Monster Hunter title. Capcom invested a lot into streamlining so many aspects of this game (many of which I would argue needed it the least) while leaving some other features - which could’ve used some of that simplification - intact. Read more
Some more pics and videos of sets being used in the second season of Amazon Prime Video's Fallout TV show appear to have leaked online, and unless I've missed it happening previously, this would be our first look at the New Vegas strip itself. Read more
The cool mod which brings a bit of Baldur's Gate 3 to Stardew Valley has now been released, so you can find out exactly how annoying it'd be to try and grow turnips with a sassy vampire, rather than doing the obvious thing having him help you slap up a giant brain. The good news doesn't end there, either, as the Baldur's Village team has now moved on to working on letting you romance Halsin. Read more
Helldivers 2's Galactic War looks like it may have temporarily ground to a halt - at least from a major objectives perspective - for the second time in a few weeks before coming back online. The game's most recent major order appeared to have suddenly been pulled, and Arrowhead confirmed that it was investigating another backend error affecting things. Read more
Blizzard has officially detailed what we can expect from Diablo 4’s next season. More specifically, what all players will be able to enjoy when patch 2.2.0 arrives, and what you can expect to see in the upcoming Public Test Realm (PTR). Read more
If you're looking forward to booting up Forza Horizon 5 on the PS5, there's one thing you should keep in mind. Even though you're playing the game comfortably on your Sony console, a Microsoft account will still be required to jump in and do some skids. Read more
You'll never guess who decided to drop a 10-minute trailer on a Sunday? That's right, Kojima Productions has just released a new Death Stranding 2 trailer, and it's got plenty of both gameplay and cinematics to take in.

Ok, so, as you might be aware, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii contains some golden balls, and they can belong to Goro Majima. Well, provided he goes around and collects all seven of them as part of a sub-story. Read more
I love a good round of digital golf. I mean, I really love it: I have a Golden Tee arcade machine in my house. I’ve got fond memories of EA’s Tiger Woods games being my comfort game as a teenager - something I’d hop onto when I needed to decompress. As an adult who has a set of real life golf clubs in the garage that goes woefully underused (life’s so busy that it’s hard to carve out a few hours to hit the links), I’m very aware that a golf game could fill a little gap in my life. Read more
Think back to the 90s. I wasn’t alive during it, but I’ve listened to enough Nirvana and played enough of the Nintendo 64 — without a mobile phone in sight — to imagine what it might’ve been like. I do know that this era of excess and plenty was the time that video games exploded in popularity and made obscene technological advancements, when dressing up in neon colours and bad haircuts were deemed a hell of a lot more fashionable than it is now, and when the music was great. 90s nostalgia is real, and even today the love for its music, in particular, lives on. Read more
Helldivers 2 players have recently closed out another major order, and while it ended in success on the Automaton end, folks couldn't rack up enough defeats of Illuminate attacks in time to satisfy the second element of it, meaning a mixed result. Read more
Okay, so at this point it's pretty clear that Monster Hunter Wilds isn't particularly hard. The story mode is a pretty linear cakewalk that introduces you to a variety of big hungry monsters and then lets you loose to body them within 10 minutes. Once you get to High Rank, yeah things get a little harder, but not exceptionally so. Unless you're opting not to touch multiplayer at all, Monster Hunter Wilds is a breeze. Read more
I’ll start off by telling you a thing you probably shouldn’t do in Atomfall. Read more
Hola. Have you been waiting for info as to when Starfield might be getting some fresh updates or additions that aren't the work of modders?

Monster Hunter Wilds is getting another hotfix patch on March 10, aimed at fixing a selection of known bugs. One of these is an absolute scorcher, the ability to cause a seemingly infinite number of rocks, walls, and other heavy things to crash down on monsters. Read more
With some good news in life, there's a tinge of bad. This appears to be the case with the recently revealed Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 remake, which according to Kotaku's reporting, will be lacking the kind of career mode that made Pro Skater 4 special in the hearts of many series fans. Read more
Lego’s foray into the world of video games continues to delight - we’ve got an increasing range of Sonic the Hedgehog sets, more Horizon Zero Dawn offerings, and the tantalizing promise of a Lego Game Boy later in the year.
