It seems likeRed Dead Redemption 2just keeps on giving. The world is so vast and detailed that some players are finding little secrets years after the game came out. One player, who was on their seventh playthrough, recently found a little secret in the most out-of-the-way place. Rockstar Gamesis well known for cramming its games full of small details. Often hidden away in hard-to-reach areas we’ve seen silly secrets, nods to the development team, or even details that relate their games to one another....

After the success ofResident Evil 7: Biohazard,Resident Evil Villagehad its work cut out to keep fans happy. Fortunately, it managed that with relative ease, and not only because of a certain tall, buxom lady. Of course, with such continued success has come the demand forResident Evil 9; both for it to be announced, and for it to keep that momentum going. Capcomhas been very quiet regarding a sequel toResident Evil Village, though, let’s be honest, it’s not like it won’t happen – it would be the biggest Capcom mistake to date not to make it....

Some of you are just starting out on yourSkyrimjourney, eager to see, taste, and smell all there is within thisBethesdaRPG giant. However, for many players, the end is nigh. Having exhausted DLCs,next-genSkyrimgraphics, and learning about the distinct lack offemale dragons, there’s nothing left except retirement. After 12 years, one gamer faced the prospect of retiring their loyal character. But instead of simply whispering a fond farewell and shutting down the game, they went further....

South Parkalmost feels like a guilty pleasure nowadays. The show is hit or miss, but I still enjoy tuning in every once in a while. Its puerile toilet humour earns a silly grin, their meta-commentary on the world at large often skewers it enough to make me giggle. Hell, I don’t mind saying that at the age of 41, I enjoy a fart joke or a ‘deez nuts’ quip. I can’t help it, they make me feel like an immature schoolboy without a care in the world or the pressures of adult life....

It’s been far too long since our favourite purple dragon, that is to say Spyro, hopped onto our consoles with a new instalment. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that we’re going to have to start putting up ‘missing’ posters if this franchise isn’t revived as soon as possible. Spyro last appeared in 2018’sSpyro Reignited Trilogyand fair to say, fans are itching for a new release - myself included....

If you’re a fan of cosy life-simulator games you won’t want to miss the Steam game that launches later today.The game we’re talking about is calledPalia, aSteamgame that’ll release in about six hours at the time of writing.Take a look atPaliabelowIn short, it’s a cosy game where you put together a home which you can decorate as you see fit, build a farm, and explore the gorgeous landscapes that surround you whilst solving its mysteries....

I’m genuinely starting to think there might be too many video games. Maybe it’s just because I’m getting older, but I’m struggling to keep up to the point that every new game that looks even slightly of interest to me fills me with dread. TakeBalatro, for example, a new(ish) poker rougelite that currently consumes my evenings. Then there’sDragon’s Dogma 2,which has taken overthe daylight hours of my life. There is no escape, and yet another new game looks like it’s going to turn my social life into confetti....

Video games are becoming increasingly attractive to film and television stars, with plenty of familiar faces having popped up over the past couple of years. There’s Keanu Reeves inCyberpunk 2077, Idris Elba in itsPhantom Libertyexpansion, David Harbour and Jodie Comer in the newAlone In The Dark, Norman Reedus inDeath Stranding, Megan Fox inMortal Kombat1, Cameron Monaghan inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor,Lance Reddick inHorizon Forbidden West… I could go on. Did you know that Will Smith fronted a video game last year?...

Why, as gamers, do we enjoy torturing ourselves? We all know that the next The Elder Scrolls title is a long way off, yet here we are, collectively discussing its release with foolhardy optimism.Some fans are quite happy to wait forThe Elder Scrolls VIand focus onnext-genSkyrim.But there are plenty of other gamers who can’t think of anything worse; instead, they want to focus onThe Elder Scrolls VI,and it alone.Even when the next game launches, can it live up to the greatness ofThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?...

Horror games are starting to use Unreal Engine 5 now, and while it’s cool to see it’s also absolutely horrifying. As someone who adores horror games but is bad at them (I tend to miss the jumpscares because I’m looking elsewhere) the idea that future releases will look more and more lifelike withUnreal Enginereally excites me. Did you pick upDragon’s Dogma 2over the weekend? If not check out the trailer below...

When I say handheld console, I’m imagining your mind drifts to either theNintendo SwitchorSteamDeck. After all, they are the two dominant options in today’s current landscape. Sony then entered the arena last year with itsPlayStationPortal and while it does appear to be selling well, with stock quickly disappearing following each drop, it’s not the true handheld that many of us were perhaps hoping for. Advert Advert The PlayStation Portal is essentially a handheld streaming device meaning you need a base PlayStation 5 console in order to use it, a contrast to Sony’s previous devices including the PSP and Vita....

Steam is absolutely riddled with free games if you know where to look, and fortunately we know exactly where to look.There are, at the time of writing, no less than 23 newfree gamesavailable to download and keep viaSteam. No need for subscriptions or any of that nonsense, just head to the Steam page for the game you like the look of and make it yours.I know right now you could probably dive into something likeFinal Fantasy VII RebirthorBalatro, but the 23 games below are perfect for gamers on a tight budget....

Despite being something of an underrated entry in the much-loved Assassin’s Creed franchise, many players forget thatAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagdoes indeed have a sequel and it’s not one to miss out on.Released way back in 2013,Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flaghas gone on to make a name for itself in the long-runningUbisoftfranchise. As the sixth major instalment in the series, it has had quite the competition for top spot but despite it being 10 years on, many players still agree that it isone of the best....
