South of Midnight is a bold, haunting, and beautiful journey into the heart of the American South, it is one that few games have ever dared to explore, let alone with this much soul and a level of attention to detail that most games aspire to reach.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was released on the Xbox Series X and Series S late last year and was pretty much one of the best games of 2024. It might have taken a few extra months, but the experience is now finally available for PlayStation 5 owners, with some fancy new visual upgrades…

Plenty of titles in this industry become victims of their success. Few ever become such cultural hotbeds that raise the bar, challenge the medium, and become such a fuel for controversy like the legacy of the famed Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II. Originally released on PS4 mid-2020, it was coming hot off…

The Rainbow Six Siege competitive landscape has seen tremendous growth globally since its inception, with regions like Europe and North America dominating the international stage.

From humble beginnings to international recognition, the Australian R6 scene has…

The date has been revealed for the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase for 2025.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will release on June 5, 2025, and pre-orders are now live at most major hardware and games retailers….

As technology develops and video games along with it, we are seeing an increasingly rapid advancement of the industry. Video games are becoming stupendously realistic, not only due to the video-footage-like graphics but also the depth of the worlds these games inhabit. Games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have demonstrated the layered and complex stories that NPCs have…

When Age of Mythology: Retold first came out, featuring some of the best hits of the series, there was one notable absence from the classic games, one nation that had been left out. Now, finally, the excluded Chinese pantheon has returned in the Immortal Pillars DLC – and it looks better than ever. Rather than…

Nintendo revealed all the details of their upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console in a direct that went live at midnight. The one-hour direct showcase dived deep into the console specs while also giving us a release date, pricing, and a slew of third-party support and first-party games, including the new Mario Kart and an open-world…

In the wake of various post-apocalyptic RPGs like Fallout, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or even the Metro series, Atomfall feels like it has plenty going against it. After all, it comes in the wake of a fully realised Fallout 4 DLC known as Fallout London, which echoes much of what we see here. But through it all, Atomall…

Originally released on the Wii U in 2015, Xenoblade Chronicles X is one of the final games from Nintendo’s previous console before the release of the Nintendo Switch. After a slew of successes with Donkey Koney Country Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros. U having made their way…

There’s really no other way to put it; it’s a good time to be a Nintendo fan. That being said, fans will have to wait just a little longer for news on the Nintendo Switch 2, via another Nintendo Direct next week on Wednesday, the 2nd of April or Thursday, the 3rd of April, depending…

After its initial November 12, 2024 release date was pushed back to February and then again to March 2025, it stands to reason that Assassin’s Creed Shadows might have gained a little heat as far as expectations were concerned.

Developed by Saber Interactive, this upcoming title blends the meticulous off-road navigation of SnowRunner with an ambitious infrastructure-building component, letting players reshape…

Since 2K Games and developer Visual Concepts took a break from their WWE games, their return has been rather exceptional. Last year’s WWE 2K24 was probably one of the better wrestling games in recent memory, and in that sentiment, it holds some serious pressure on WWE 2K25, having to take things up at least a notch….

When Marvel’s Spider-Man was released in 218, developer Insomniac Games nailed the sensation of being super-powered, with exceptional web-swinging and agile combat. However, it faltered in providing engaging content within its visually stunning yet empty open world. Unfortunately, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, while great in terms of its story and presentation, repeated those lingering missteps. While…

As a newcomer to the Monster Hunter franchise, I approached Monster Hunter Wilds with fresh eyes and an eagerness to understand the phenomenon that has captivated players for two decades. While the game didn’t disappoint in delivering epic battles and immersive lore, some aspects kept it from achieving true perfection. I couldn’t help but feel…

I do have a soft spot for developer Hazelight Studios. While I enjoyed A Way Out, I simply adored It Takes Two. Having played through it with my wife, who I must state does not play games of any sort, and for her to love it as much as she did is a true testament…

Alienware announced today its latest range of QD-OLED monitors, including the new Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor, which won the Innovation Award at CES earlier this year. The three new models will all include Dell’s QD-OLED, extending their range to five, bringing HD and a better quality of picture for gamers everywhere. Concerns about burn-in…

It’s so obvious to mention the original Doom at the slightest mention of boomer shooters. It wasn’t the first first-person shooter (FPS), but it still feels like the most important in terms of popularity and influence. Not only was the 2016 reboot a hit, but to this day, programmers and enthusiasts continue finding more and…

In the complex world of competitive gaming, few titles demand as much analytical depth as Rainbow Six Siege. Since its launch in December 2015, the game has evolved from a promising tactical shooter into a sophisticated competitive ecosystem where every action, decision, and outcome can be quantified and analyzed. As someone who has spent the…

Two Point Studios are back after the success of their comedic management simulators Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus – and you’ll never guess what you do in this new entry to their series. Yes, that’s right, after letting you kill (or cure) hospital patients and ignore (or teach) students, Two Point Studios are…

Golf as a sport is something I’ve been getting into over the years, but rarely ever feel like I’ve taken huge strides forward. However, I feel a little more at home when it comes to gaming on the green. We had the pleasure of reviewing PGA Tour 2K23 and felt that while it wasn’t perfect,…

RGG Studio’s latest spin-off, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, takes a bold leap into the high seas, blending classic Yakuza chaos with the swashbuckling adventure of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
