Set to release for Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (with Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date), Borderlands 4 seeks to impress with elevated scale, story and of course gunplay among many new features for you harness in a…

Can you believe it’s been over a decade since we’ve had a new Mario Kart game? But along with the Nintendo Switch 2, here we are. In many ways, Mario Kart World is an awesome follow-up to an almost perfect kart-racer that has stood the test of time. On the fresh hardware, it looks fantastic…

The crossover between Australian film legend George Miller and Japanese video game auteur Hideo Kojima may seem odd to people unfamiliar with the two beyond their main works, but to those who follow more closely, this is a relationship that stretches back more than a decade. And when you consider the careers and creative outputs…

There’s a romance to policing in fiction that real life rarely lives up to. The flashing lights, the procedural rhythm and the legend of a lone beat cop fighting against a crime-ridden city. It’s built for drama, as television has proven since the 1970s. The Precinct, from American Fugitive developers Fallen Tree Games, taps into…

PlayStation’s surprise State of Play, Summer Game Fest, Future Games Show and now, Xbox Games Showcase. It’s been a crazy weekend for game announcements, and we’re not done yet.

Be it the stellar career of Lewis Hamilton, the recent domination of Max Verstappen, or the current rise of Aussie Oscar Piastri, Codemasters’ F1 games have been relatively fantastic over the years. They generally look great, play well and feature an impressive list of modes that remain true to the depth and authenticity of the…

If you’ve heard me say this recently, I do apologise, but it hasd been a nig weekend. Between PlayStation’s surprise State of Play, Summer Game Fest and the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase, it is enough to make your head spin.

That time of the year has rolled around once again, where we are treated to a laundry list of announcements for new and exciting games to look forward to and drool over for the rest of this year and beyond. While it’s pretty much taken over E3 (RIP) as the new headliner for gamers around…

I reviewed both Elden Ring and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC upon their respective releases, and must say, it’s been a blast. Bloodborne might always be my personal favourite game within this genre for its darker tone and linear nature, but make no mistake, developer FromSoftware Inc. hasn’t really missed a beat as of…

PlayStation June State of Play stream announcement might have come as a surprise to some given its short notice, but that didn’t stop them for delivering the 40 minutes of the goods. Even with Summer Games Fest might be starting this weekend, we’re certainly off to a rolling start. We’ve unpacked all the announcements and…

James Bond is back. Well, in the video game sense at the very least. While we’re still waiting on a new Bond to helm the film franchise, developer IO Interactive has now given their upcoming James Bond game an official title: 007 First Light. 007 First Light was initially revealed back in 2020 as Project 007…

We love adorable cats. We love compelling video games. And we especially love when the two collide in a mature, story-rich experience that tugs at the heartstrings and reminds us just how deeply our feline friends love us (with spellbinding emotional results). Developed with support from Screen Australia, Copycat is the debut title of developer…

We previewed this remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny just under a month ago, and have to say, most of our final sentiments still ring true, so we apologise if we referred to any old ground. You can check out our full preview of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny here. This remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is…

For as many RPGs as I’ve played over the years, I’m not necessarily a fan of the genre. Sure, you’ve got your classics, be it Final Fantasy VII or its remake, the various Pokémon games or Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But I feel as though even then, with turn-based combat a part of the core…

In its fourth year, Cure Cancer’s Game On Cancer initiative will be running its Superhero Streamers event, which will go towards supporting ground-breaking cancer research. The event will run from Monday 1st April through to Friday 31st May, and will allow creators from various walks of life to support the awesome Cure Cancer researchers who…

Looking back, Days Gone might have gotten a little more hate than it deserved when it released in 2019. But with all the zombie fatigue lately from various shows, movies and even other games, it’s a really fine line to walk. There are a few things in Days Gone Remastered to enjoy and appreciate, though….

Let’s get straight to the point: Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best racing games you can play today. Thankfully, it’s now out on the PlayStation 5 for a new audience to enjoy. It only feels right that Forza Horizon 5 would release some new DLC in line with this release, which looks to…

After nearly two decades, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has returned, not with a sequel or a reboot, but with a remastered glow-up that breathes new life into one of Bethesda’s most endearing RPG titles thus far. This updated version, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 by the team at Virtuos, doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but…

Yesterday, Nintendo Australia hosted an exclusive event in Melbourne, offering us a first look at the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Alongside some other select media and content creators, we were allowed four hours with some of the most anticipated titles coming to the Switch 2, including Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid…

The Doom franchise charges into new territory with Doom: The Dark Ages, delivering a fresh take on its signature demon-slaying mayhem. Set against a medieval backdrop, this latest instalment maintains the series’ core identity while introducing innovative elements that breathe new life into the formula. The Doom Slayer returns, now armed with period-appropriate weaponry alongside…

Mafia: The Old Country might be out in just a few months, but we only just got our first proper gameplay trailer. Set in Sicily during the early 1900’s, this newest trailer shows off more gunplay, traversal, and the beautiful environments which highlight the Sicilian landscapes and villages. Players take control of Enzo, a young…

It’s been a while since I’ve played an Onimusha game, but with Onimusha: Way of the Sword bringing the franchise back after an 18-year hiatus, I feel that itch again. Onimusha: Warlords was admittedly remastered back in 2019, but Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the first Onimusha game I…

Remember those awesome retro startup animations you could get on the PS5 only a few months ago? The ones they removed? Yeah, they’re back in this latest PS5 system update. The classic console themes are inspired by the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles and will change the overall look of the…

Thanks to Grand Theft Auto VI, games releases and release dates have been a little up in the air recently. In fact, they’ve been so up in the air, that many upcoming titles are falling into place, launching either sooner or around GTA IV’s supposed release. Sucker Punch and PlayStation have announced that the upcoming…
