We’d like to think we know a lot aboutSkyrim, yet when a Reddit post appeared that discussed some of its in-game features, we realised we’d be overlooking an incredibly useful aspect of the gameplay for sometime. The annoyance we felt (at ourselves) cannot be overstated. Life inSkyrimisn’t easy. Not only dostrange mysteriesleave a sour taste in our mouths once we uncover the truth, but there’s also a lot ofambitious free downloadsthat demand our attention....

There’s no doubt in anyone’s minds that Tom Holland has given his all as Peter Parker in the most recent Spider-Man films. However, there is another actor who captured our hearts long before Holland; the only difference between the two of them is that he wasn’t given the opportunity to shine as brightly. Tobey Maguire is, for a lot ofMarvelfans, the original Peter Parker. His portrayal of the character spoke to us on a personal level when the first film launched in the 00s, and especially when the third film was released....

There are too many games to play right now. There’s no getting around this. I’m trying my best to keep up with everything, but it feels impossible. At the moment I’m trying to get throughFinal Fantasy VII RebirthbeforeDragon’s Dogma 2takes me away, but for the last week or so I’ve hadBalatrowhispering in my ear like the Green Goblin mask in the firstSpider-Manmovie. Take a look at our 10/10 review forFinal Fantasy VII Rebirthbelow!...

I’m a simple man. If I see a game with pixel art, I’m almost certainly going to buy it. I don’t even care if it’s any good at this point, I just like looking at the retro aesthetic and trying to remember a time before I knew what Sertraline was.That’s why I’m delighted, dear reader, to point you in the direction of aSteamRPG that might have slipped under your radar. Better yet, you can actually try it out forfree....

Steam is often very kind to us and gives away the odd game for free, seemingly out of nowhere. It’s a lovely surprise and one that fills up our backlog, giving us plenty of options of what to play. The latest game to be given away can be downloaded and kept, and it plays brilliantly on the Steam Deck, too. Space Crew: Legendary Editionbrings all new content to players of the game and gives others the perfect jumping on point to try out this wacky strategy game....

Not to sound super controlling, but there’s something just so satisfying about commanding the lives of others. Okay, that sounds super controlling… Our point, however, is thatThe Simsand similar games give us a way to really explore all avenues of life without it negatively impacting us. Sure, the odd Sim might perish in an unusual swimming accident, but needs must for the good of the town. Still, as wonderful as The Sims is, it can start to feel a little predictable....

While it’s notFallout5itself, Nolan seems to claim that the show is the next best thing. In aninterviewwith Total Film, Nolan spoke on the show’s originality: “From the first conversation with Todd [Howard], we were most excited about an original story. Each of the games is a discrete story – different city, distinct protagonist – within the same mythology. Our series sits in relation to the games as the games sit in relation to each other....

Unreal Engine demos and remake projects are incredibly popular of late. Usually it’s a fan who has taken the time to visually upgrade a classic game, giving it a facelift and making us yearn for something official to come down the pipeline. We’ve seen many of these demos and the latest to catch our eye is anUnreal Engine 5remake ofBanjo-Kazooie. Perhaps not a game you’d instantly think of for this kind of treatment, but there’s no denying thatthe footageis gorgeous and it brings a new look to a long-time favourite of many....

The TimeSplitters series from developers Free Radical Design is one of the most beloved first-person shooters of yesteryear and fans would love nothing more than to see its triumphant return. The first game in the series wasTimeSplittersin 2000 forPlayStation2.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorajust received a major update featuring a ton of bug fixes and quest adjustments.It certainly feels as ifAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoraflew under the radar a little bit. I don’t think it helped that the game was released on the same day thatThe Game Awardswere held. Headlines centered on the ceremony’s winners and world exclusives far more than they did on the game’s release. If you haven’t yet picked upFrontiers of Pandorathough, I can recommend it....

WWE 2K23was the best entry in the series in years. It’s fair to say thatWWE 2K24has big shoes to fill.

Check out what games WWE Superstars would love to replay below! WWE 2K24mostly plays the same asWWE 2K23. After all, Visual Concepts has pretty much nailed the gameplay of the previous entry....

It’s important now more than ever to save money whenever we can, especially during the current cost of living crisis. However, it’s also vital to maintain positive mental health and I believe that very few things in life bring us good vibes quite like our beloved video games. Subscription services such asPlayStation PlusandXbox Game Passcan save us a lot of money in comparison to buying one or two AAA video games a month, perhaps even a few months....
