At the time of writing, the PlayStation 4 is the fifth best-selling console of all time, managing to shift an astonishing 117.2 million units across its lifetime. Technically, of course, the PS4 is still going strong; many games are still being produced for the console, and while support is arguably winding down now, the PS5 hasn’t quite supplanted the PS4 just yet. Still, since Sony appears to be getting ready to sunset the little black monolith, we thought now would be a good time to look at the best the PS4 library has to offer. Without further ado, here are…

It’s fair to say that as time goes on, the PlayStation 4 is losing more and more support from both Sony and third-party studios. There are, of course, still plenty of great gaming experiences to be had with Sony’s last-gen machine, with a huge amount of PS4 games available, but if you’re still a PS4-exclusive gamer, you might want to start considering jumping to the PS5 ship. December isn’t usually the most active month for game releases, but the pickings for PS4 this month are particularly slim, unfortunately, with just a handful of games hitting the console’s storefront this holiday…

Tis the season to be jolly, as they say, and it’s also the season to take time off work and finally get around to that backlog you’ve been meaning to tackle. December is usually a quieter month for game releases, and that’s certainly the case in 2023 as well, although your Xbox Series X/S can’t take a rest just yet. There are still a few games lining up for those who haven’t filled up their holiday stocking yet, so whether you’re looking for immersive RPGs, adventure games, or anything in between, you’ll find what you’re after in December. Here are…

If you want the best and most versatile gaming platform around, then your best bet is probably to buy a PC, unless you’re particularly wedded to physical releases. While it may not be quite as convenient as other platforms – and you might miss out on certain exclusives – you’re still able to play the vast majority of games being released at the moment, and you can customise their parameters to suit your machine as well. Whether you’ve just got yourself a new PC or you’re looking to shore up your library for an old faithful ‘puter, you’ll find plenty…

Recently, Nintendo announced that it would be ending online support for 3DS and Wii U games. Along with the closure of the 3DS eShop earlier this year, the announcement effectively marked the final end of the 3DS and Wii U era; of course, no new games were being produced for the consoles, but this feels very much like the final nail, so to speak. With that in mind, then, this feels like the perfect time to reminisce about the 3DS’ exceptional library. Some truly excellent games were produced for Nintendo’s handheld, many of which you can still find if you’re…

Dark and Darker is a pretty ingenious combination of genres. The game is simultaneously a fantasy dungeon crawler and a PvPvE-style multiplayer game in which you’re just as much at risk from other players as you are from environmental hazards. With that in mind, if you’re looking for an experience akin to Dark and Darker, you might struggle, as it’s a very unique prospect. However, there are plenty of games you can check out if you’re looking for something that’s in the same ballpark. Here are the 20 best games like Dark and Darker! Hunt: Showdown While Hunt: Showdown doesn’t…

The Meta Quest 3 is officially upon us, and it’s arguably the best VR headset you can buy right now. While it can’t quite match many of its competitors in terms of sheer power, it’s affordable, lightweight (for a VR headset, at any rate), and packed with great software.

Resident Evil 4 Sadly, this isn’t the VR version of the excellent…

Popular culture has long been obsessed with vampires, and it’s pretty easy to see why. In some incarnations, vampires are dark, mysterious figures with an air of dangerous romance about them, while in others, they’re horrifying monstrosities that represent the worst instincts and aspects of humanity. If you’ve got a thirst for great vampire games, read on. Here, in no particular order, are the 20 best vampire games out there right now.

If you’re a fan of VR, you’ll know that it’s a great way to enhance the immersion of pretty much any game you play. Skyrim is an incredible RPG outside of the VR ecosystem, but strap a headset on and it suddenly becomes an entire living, breathing world that feels totally real. There’s no doubt that VR is becoming more and more of a talking point in the gaming world, but we’d argue it has yet to reach its true potential, and that there are plenty of games that would still benefit from the VR treatment. Here are 15 games…

In 2022, From Software released Elden Ring, which many consider to be the legendary Japanese studio’s masterpiece. Combining From’s signature Soulslike combat and exploration with a new open-world approach that emphasised player discovery, Elden Ring went on to become a massive critical and commercial success. Being a Soulslike game, developed by From Software, Elden Ring also has a pretty significant multiplayer component in which players can team up to battle bosses. Alternatively, if players are feeling particularly devilish, they can invade one another’s realms and do battle. Will you face your opponent in honourable combat, or backstab them while they’re…

If there’s one gaming genre that can convince non-converts that the genre isn’t just for kids, it’s probably the erotic adventure genre. With beginnings all the way back in the early days of gaming, erotic video games have established a niche for themselves, and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Perhaps one of the most popular and well-known games in this niche is Degrees of Lewdity, a text-based erotic RPG that allows you to engage with its seedy world in whatever way you see fit. There are, of course, plenty of games out there that are doing similar things to…

VR has many potential applications, but perhaps one of the most exciting is its ability to immerse us in massive virtual worlds. The potential of VR when it comes to MMORPGs has arguably not been fully realised yet, but developers are already starting to take advantage of the capabilities of VR to create massively multiplayer games with the tech in mind. Many of these games are still on the horizon, but some are available right now. There aren’t a huge amount of VR MMORPG experiences to play at the moment, but we’d like to take some time to look at…

What makes a great video game villain? Maybe heroes need to be invincible, but they also need a counterpart to drag them to their extremities. What we want is for an unstoppable force to meet an immovable object. So, whoever it is, they need to arrive with an impact and stir up a chaotic maelstrom of events. Then it’s that swirling spiral of good and evil, which spins those epic rivalries and recurring battles we remember. In this blog, we’re taking a look at some of those gaming villains who transformed the titles they were part of. Cartoonish creatures, narcissistic cowboys,…

Role-playing games are some of the most popular in the gaming world, especially the ones which support online play and real-time play. One game that lets players act out their fantasies of being a hero online is Diablo 4. One of Blizzards’ games, it ticks all the boxes. The graphics are some of the best around and the immersive storylines have had us all gripped. But can you play it cross platform?   What is Diablo 4? As you have probably guessed by the name, there have been 3 other Diablo games in the series, as well as some expansion…

The video game industry is one of the largest entertainment industries in the world, so it is inevitable that in some cases the video games can present ideas, plots, or other things that can become quite controversial.

Pokémon Yeah, this is not a…

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…

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. FIFA has pledged to create its own series of video games, but that series won’t start this year, so for now, if you want the 2023-24 FIFA experience, you should opt for EA Sports FC 24. However, right now, many gamers are still enjoying FIFA 23, and EA recently released an update that made…

Creating a 3D Skeleton Game Model Creating realistic and attractive characters is important to the success of your game. If we take any fantasy game or cartoon style, quite often we can find the use of skeleton. In order to learn how to make a high-quality 3D model of a skeleton, you will need more than a dozen hours of studying 3D modeling or designing 3d characters for games with the help of outsourcing services. As it is not quite a common 3D model, and it is different from the creation of human characters, let’s see how to create a…

When you’re the owner of a console, it’s always nice to have an exclusive game arrive and justify your purchase. Whether it’s an excellent PS4 game like Bloodborne or one of Nintendo’s many hits for the Switch, an exclusive game can make the most of the hardware it’s been created for, as well as any unique features that console happens to have. 2022 had no shortage of great console-exclusive games, so without further ado, let’s take a look at the best of them.  Horizon Forbidden West If you’re a PlayStation owner, then 2022 was a great year.

With 2022 wrapping up, it’s about time to take a look back at some of the best games of the year. This was, all told, a very solid year for gaming; there were some truly excellent titles, and while the year also saw its fair share of mediocre offerings, it’s hard to argue that gamers weren’t spoiled for choice. Whatever platform you like to game on, there’s plenty from the year 2022 that should keep you entertained. Here are the best games of 2022, in no particular order. Elden Ring From Software’s traditional exploration-heavy action RPGs made the leap…

The PC was a generational invention and kick started the video game world. Starting with simple games like Pacman and Space invaders, the PC gaming scene has come along way since 1962, when the first ever game came out. Even though many users have turned their attention to gaming consoles like Xbox and PlayStation, there is still many individuals who prefer the PC. The PC still has many games only exclusive to its platform. However, what are the best games out there? Anger Foot Kicking off our list is a PC game that is scheduled to be released very soon.…

Consoles may come and go, but one thing is seemingly for certain: PC gaming is very much here to stay. With the advent of devices like the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally, it’s clear that PC gamers want more ways to play their games rather than to migrate to other console ecosystems, and these options are only likely to get more numerous as time goes on. This sense that PC gaming remains critical to the industry is bolstered massively by the fact that there are so many great games coming to the PC ecosystem. This September, we’ve got long-awaited…

The 90s is often considered the decade where the best video games ever created were published and I firmly consider this to be true. The gamers of that era like myself saw and experienced the release of 3D video games like never before. Also, the 90s is considered the resurgence of the video games industry because the industry nearly went bankrupt in the 1980s. It’s funny because in the 80s the industry was almost over but the next decade were released some of the best video games ever made… That’s how you should make a comeback. Today we are going…

There are so many moments in video games that make us bang our head against the desk, thrown the controller against the wall, or even punch the TV or monitor. And one of the reasons why we do such things is because of a very tough boss fight. We all have been there; we all fought a boss that made us wonder why we bought this goddamn game in the first place, but you continue fighting because you never give up, right? The joy we feel when we finally beat the boss is incomparable and, in the end, all the…

E3 2023’s cancellation has done absolutely nothing to stem the tide of game publishers and developers wanting to show off their latest exciting works.

The world is divided into two types of people: those who love plot twists and those who hate them. I personally love them because I love surprises because a plot twist can be a gamer’s best friend.

Today we are going to be choosing the 10 best plot twists in the history of video games so sit back and enjoy this top. Let’s…

Sometimes, it feels like PC gamers are especially hard done by. Recently, somewhat lacklustre ports of The Last of Us Part I and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor caused consternation among PC gamers, who lamented the games’ poor performance even on higher-end machines, and there are plenty of other examples of major AAA game releases seemingly snubbing PC gamers.  Even still, we think that PC gaming remains one of the most exciting and engaging ways to enjoy games, so let’s take a look at the best PC games coming in June 2023. Let’s hope these games’ PC versions are ready…
