Screenshot Saturday Sundays! It’s been an absolutely roasting weekend, folks, so let’s chill out in the shade and crack open a refreshing can of work-in-progress screenshots, videos and ice-cold gifs. This week: cross-dimensional translation, precarious hangouts, neon zombie raves and (not quite) pong. Yes, I said Pong. Our first game’s no looker in the traditional

Fresh off the heels of Tom Clancy goes anime, Ubisoft have announced yet another collaboration with their new pals at Netflix. This time, it’s a feature-length adaptation of Beyond Good And Evil from Detective Pikachu director Rob Letterman – and with the long-dormant game sequel still no closer to release, there’s a good chance this

Hot on the heels of a dormant, long-overdue-for-a-sequel Ubisoft video game franchise getting a Netflix series in Splinter Cell, another IP from the Ubisoft stable fans have been waiting a long time to continue playing in is making the leap to the digital-streaming service. Beyond Good & Evil, the cult classic 2003 title, is receiving

Despite all of the new info about Halo Infinite we got last week, some details were conspicuously absent. Namely, Microsoft and 343 Industries weren’t talking about multiplayer, which is traditionally a major draw for the series.  Today, the official Halo Twitter account confirmed rumors that the upcoming game’s multiplayer mode will be free-to-play, making it accessible

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare begins Season 5 content on August 5, with the rollout of a new band of mercenaries – The Shadow Company. How this will effect anything other than the obvious potential cosmetics is unknown, but it leaves the field wide open for some potential new game modes involving three teams. Maybe

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I want to like Sea Of Thieves so badly that I’ve convinced myself I do like it, even though deep inside I find it quite dull to play. I don’t understand why I find it dull.

This time, it’s pillaged the back catalogue of publisher Raw Fury, the folks behind tiny Viking ’em up Bad North, monochrome taxi murder mystery Night Call and

Are you ready to experience the ultimate Star Wars fantasy in VR? Well you can later this year on Oculus Quest. That’s right, you play as a droid technician. Who wants to be a Jedi these days anyway?

Fortnite continues to give us a look at the future of integrated interactive entertainment as worlds collide inside the game, as it teases hot upcoming movies, plays full movies, and hosts celebrity and artist performances.

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! That reliable portal to other worlds has opened up once again, a sneak-peak at a smattering of screenshots, gifs, and video delights that are sure to sate our curiosity for a Sunday afternoon. This week: a snowboard throwback, dead clocks, squeaky anecdotes and a frightful return to John Walker’s favourite game. Admittedly,

Forget your Gundams or your Battletechs – I like my mechs rusted, broken and held together by bolts and prayer. Fantastic news, then, that we’re about to get our hands on Iron Harvest‘s dieselpunk war machines. The alt-history RTS enters open beta next week, giving us free rein of its turn-of-the-century mechs ahead of its

Exomecha has beamed itself into our awareness, and therefore existence, with a new and impressively hectic trailer. It’s an upcoming, free-to-play competitive FPS apparently teeming with vehicles, mechs, and more explosions than is probably healthy. The trailer entrails below.

Two years after Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age hit PC, a new edition is coming round with additions including new quests and the option to play this 3D JRPG as a retro-styled 16-bit 2D game. Pleasingly daft, that. Bearing the triple-barrelled name Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes Of An Elusive Age –

Pscyhonauts 2 has been in the works for a while. The crowd-funding campaign for the game started almost five years ago, but developer Double Fine has been forthcoming about the project’s progress along the way, including a couple delays. According to a post on Xbox Wire, fans are going to have to wait a bit longer: The

Godfall was revealed late last year with a mysterious trailer, but we recently got a better look at how the loot-driven action/RPG plays. But the information about this unique PS5 and PC game doesn’t stop there. Today Arekkz Gaming published an interview with Richard Heyne, technical producer at Godfall developer Counterplay Games.

Riot Games today kick off a new cross-game event starts today in League Of Legends and its two gamebabies, Teamfight Tactics and Legends Of Runeterra.

Hey, can you keep a secret? See, I still haven’t played Rocket League, and I’m a little worried it might be too late. Fortunately, developers Psyonix have just announced that they’re making their spectacular car footy game free to play later this year – but there’s a bit of a catch. Once it ditches that

Death Stranding has had several lovely upgrades for its PC release, including uncapped frame rates, 4K resolution support and Nvidia’s DLSS 2.0 tech. But the one I’ve been most looking forward to trying out is its 21:9 ultrawide monitor support. After all, Death Stranding is effectively Beautiful Landscape: The Game in addition to being a

With very little warning, Nintendo has announced yet another Nintendo Direct. Before you get your Smash character guesses lined up or predict new and wild titles, this “Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase” is going to focus on “a small group of previously announced Nintendo Switch games”.

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! It’s time for our weekly foray into the swamps of Twitter’s screenshotsaturday hashtag, fishing out the juiciest gifs, videos and in-development jpegs we can find for the afternoon’s pleasure. This week: moon’s haunted, but we’ve also got concrete gardening, low-fi adaptations, and crunchy cosmic billiards. Too worried to pick up a few

Onyxia, Broodmother of the Black Dragonflight. If you’re a veteran World Of Warcraft player, that name will immediately conjure long-buried feelings of dread – from the precision play needed to take her down, to the hours spent grinding quests to even enter her lair. But Azeroth’s scariest dragon seems to have lost her touch, as

The NPD Group has reported its video game sales figures for the month of June, and unsurprisingly, Naughty Dog’s highly anticipated sequel led the pack. The Last of Us Part II was named June’s best-selling game and is now the third best-selling game of the year. It achieved the highest launch month dollar sales of any

Many of you are likely playing Ghost of Tsushima right now and don’t want to think about adding another game to your queue, but there are a number of intriguing titles hitting next week.
