Year: 2023

If there’s one thing that’s setting the rumour mill aflame in the gaming world right now (not to mix metaphors), it’s the Nintendo Switch 2. Whatever Nintendo ends up calling the successor to the Nintendo Switch, it’s got some huge shoes to fill; the Switch is sitting at almost 130 million consoles sold worldwide at time of writing, and that number is only going to increase with time. Of course, that hasn’t stopped gamers and pundits alike looking ahead to what the Switch 2 might look like. After all, the Switch is a wonderful machine, but it’s also somewhat underpowered,…

October 2023 is shaping up to be an excellent month for the Nintendo Switch, not least because we’re finally getting a new game from one of Nintendo’s longest-standing mascots.

Here are the best Nintendo Switch games coming to the console in October 2023. If you’re not a Mario fan, don’t worry; there’s plenty more to check out besides! …

The launch of Starfield on Xbox in September represents something of a watershed moment for Microsoft.  The company had arguably been struggling for bona fide exclusives, and although Starfield is playable on PC as well, if you’re a console gamer, you can only enter the world of Bethesda’s newest RPG on Xbox Series X/S. Could this be the beginning of a revival for Microsoft’s fortunes? In the long run, that remains to be seen, but October is looking like another great month for the Xbox ecosystem. Let’s take a look at the best Xbox Series X/S games heading your way…

“Underrated” is a very strange word indeed. It has different definitions for different people; some define it in terms of reviews, while others look to sales to justify calling a game underrated. We’re about to take a look at the 10 most underrated Xbox Series X/S games, and our definition of “underrated” may seem somewhat nebulous, but in essence, if we feel that a game has been unfairly overlooked in any terms, it fits the bill as far as we’re concerned. With that in mind, take this list of the 10 most underrated Xbox Series games as a chance to…

PC gaming is arguably getting more difficult these days.  With graphics cards reaching exorbitant prices and games demanding more and more exacting prices from users’ hardware, it’s getting tougher to reach the kind of visual and performance heights for which PC gaming used to be known and celebrated. That said, thanks to mods, a strong user community, and modular and flexible systems when it comes to customising your experience, many still think that PC gaming easily trumps consoles, especially when both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S have struggled to achieve their 60fps target in many modern games. With…

Many of us have fantasies about joining the police force when we’re kids. We think of the police as bringing in the bad guys, stopping society from falling apart, and keeping all of us safe at night. Of course, the reality is much more complicated than that, as we’ve learned recently, but that doesn’t mean there is no room for good police simulator games to teach us about the realities of policing or just plain fun experiences in which you play as a police officer. Are you ready to discover the best police simulator games to play? Below, we reveal…

It’s September and the year is almost finishing, but that does not mean that we must be sad; it’s quite the opposite, because usually the best video games or the biggest surprised are released in the last months of the year.

Today we are going to rank the 10 best upcoming video games…

Rare’s 2006 life sim Viva Pinata is a unique beast, which, we admit, is not the strongest start for an article discussing similar games. The principle is simple: you must attract pinata animals to your garden, and you’ll do so via a variety of different means, including planting grass, adding ponds, or even letting them eat other pinatas that have taken up residence. Viva Pinata and its sequel, Trouble in Paradise, espoused a strange atmosphere that balanced adorable pinatas with brutal kill-or-be-killed food-chain simulation. It stands to reason, then, that there aren’t too many games out there that are strikingly…

One of the main reasons why a videogame can get tattooed in your mind is because the first mission.

While right now most games are less structured around levels, there are a lot of opening missions that will be remembered forever for being so good. This is the topic of today boys, so this is our top 10 best…

I always say that a good story must have an even better ending than the story itself, this applies to video games too; a good video game must have a well written ending. The last mission or level in a video game is usually considered the most important level because is the end of the road, and usually the moments that stick to the gamer the most lie in almost every final level. A bad ending is always really hard to swallow, so today we are ranking the best final levels or missions in video game history, so let’s begin.…

The mobile gaming industry is the home of simple yet addictive gameplay mechanics. Many mobile games boil down to extremely basic and straightforward controls, yet manage to attract and retain an audience due to presentation and implementation. That’s certainly the case for Egg, Inc., an idle clicker game created by the Los Angeles-based studio Auxbrain. Egg, Inc. is currently available for Android and iOS devices, and it’s got a very straightforward setup: click to spawn chickens, chickens make you money. Of course, there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes when it comes to Egg, Inc.’s success, which is…

Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S may be trailing the PS5 in terms of sales (and perhaps even cultural significance), but it’s hard to argue that the console’s lineup isn’t stellar. With great multiplatform releases like Assassin’s Creed Mirage on the horizon, as well as huge sellers like Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy providing ample reasons to pick up an Xbox, Microsoft shouldn’t panic just yet if it looks like they’re underperforming compared to their longterm rivals. With the Activision-Blizzard acquisition looming on the horizon and Xbox Game Pass bringing many quality games to players at low prices, the Xbox Series…

It’s official: FIFA 23 is the final EA-developed game to bear the FIFA name.  After this instalment, EA will pivot towards its franchise’s new name of EA Sports FC, with the inaugural game in that series being this year’s EA Sports FC 24.

However, right now, many gamers are still enjoying FIFA 23, and EA recently released an update that made…

Despite the fact that Apple’s hardware is often extremely powerful and well-suited to gaming, the number of games that feature innate macOS compatibility is shockingly low.  Most games out there right now are playable on Windows machines, and many even have Linux compatibility built into them, but lots of major triple-A releases don’t support Mac, meaning that Apple gamers are often being left out in the cold. Unfortunately, EA’s flagship FIFA franchise is no exception to this rule; most recent FIFA games simply don’t feature any kind of innate Mac compatibility, with 2011’s FIFA 12 being the last FIFA game…

“Life is a lot like a video game. You control what happens.” — Michael L. Ceorgoveanu. Gen Z are engaging with games more than ever before, making them part of their everyday lives and thinning the line between in-person interaction and online communication.

In addition, 70 % want to socialize within game worlds and beyond, while half spend money on video games – which is also…

After the June rush, Gamescom Opening Night Live is arguably the next major event on the gaming calendar.

He told expectant gamers that the event would largely consist of games that had already been announced.

The universe of cinema is vast and diverse. There is a place for different genres and events. In real life, there are often not enough bright events and action scenes, so people by nature like to watch spectacular films. Movies featuring cool cars, supercars, and their accidents fill the plot with drama and tension.
