Microsoft Flight Simulator is going to be so darn large that you’ll be able to fly all over the world and land on a gagillion airstrips but the world is not enough, eh Mr. Bond? That giant simulation won’t stop creators from adding to and tweaking the game. Asobo Studio say they know how important

A giant, scathing piece on the U.S. Army using recruiting tactics on children as young as 13 ran in The Nation yesterday. The original piece is a lot to take in, but one aspect is the military allegedly using Twitch as a vessel to run bait-and-switch contests that send users to a link that purports to offer them a

Henry Cavill, everyone’s favourite Super-Witcher-Warhammer-miniatures-painter-man, has recently built himself a new gaming PC, and he’s documented the whole thing in a lovely, if very occasionally heart-stopping video post on Instagram. His choice of components is actually pretty sound, ranging from a top of the line Ryzen 9 CPU to an RTX 2080 Ti graphics card,

Ready to head back into League of Legends for a  couple of rounds of MOBA team-fighting madness?

Ooblets is what it looks like. That can be a bit of a cop out as descriptions go, but I saw almost no footage of it before guessing it was a cross between a Harvest Moon farming/fix-up-the-town game and a Pokémon-style monster collector, and so it is. But while both those types of game tend

Dragon’s Dogma is a strange, wonderful RPG from Capcom that originally released back in 2012. It received an expansion in 2013, and since then the whole package has been ported several times, giving new players plenty of chances to give it a shot.

A fair few games in recent E3 showcases were conspicuously absent from today’s Ubisoft Forward stream: no Beyond Good & Evil 2, no Rainbow Six Quarantine, no Gods & Monsters, no Roller Champions, no Skull & Bones.

“I can’t quite get what Weird West is as a game, but I bloody love the aesthetic,” our Nate said last month. He’d just seen a notE3 trailer which had plenty of mood but not much of the game. It’s an action-RPG with some immersive sim-ish bits, yeah? From some folks formerly of Dishonored and

Have you played Frog Fractions? While it may seem an unassuming amphibious edu-game, Twinbeard’s maths ’em up may be one of the most important games of the last decade. Unfortunately, it’s one that’s increasingly a pain to actually play. Today, Twinbeard “Sandwich Imagineer” Jim Crawford announced that the game’s Steam release is just around the

If you’re not tired of zombies, the good news is neither are Turtle Rock Studios, the folks behind Left 4 Dead. Last year they announced Back 4 Blood, a triumphant return for the numeral 4 and zombies, but have been quiet about it since. As proof that their project remains undead, Turtle Rock have shuffled

How did you expect Fortnite to celebrate the USA’s Independence Day? Fireworks, Rockets. Llamas and musicians falling from the sky? Instead, Epic have more appropriate plans for 2020’s 4th of July celebration.

Are you ready to fire up the grill for some perfect burgers or brats doused with delectable mustard? Maybe gearing up to fry up some wings and drummies?

Trackmania is a series that… christ, look at this mess. I’m not going to lay out the whole history of the series. They stretch back to 2003, over a dozen or so games on almost as many platforms. They’re mostly about time trial races on outlandish, stunt-filled tracks. This latest one is a remake of

Fortnite: Save the World has technically been in early access since its release in 2017, but that is no longer the case.

If last week’s dose of Cyberpunk 2077 RTX goodness wasn’t quite enough for you, Nvidia have released some more ray traced screenshots of the game’s fancy lighting effects in action.
