It’s a Great Time for Games (But Not Consoles)
The Summer Games events have come and gone and barely a moment went by without something new and exciting to check out on consoles. There’s no doubt about it: the next year is going to be pretty fantastic. No matter what kind of game you love, there was something for you. If you’re really into moody Soulslike games, then you’re eating really well. But it doesn’t end there. 2026 is going to be huge, and that’s without taking Grand Theft…

Scott Pilgrim EX Announced
I’ve been watching Summer Game Fest and…I completely lost it when this game was announced. Scott Pilgrim EX, a brand new game set in the Scott Pilgrim universe, was shown off today. Check out the trailer and my thoughts on it. Scott Pilgrim EX is coming out in 2026 to Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PS4/PS5, and PC. I absolutely loved the original Scott Pilgrim game. This new one is being done by Tribute Games, who did Shredder’s Revenge and other cool…

The Cecil: The Journey Begins Impressions
Upon entering a detention center, the notion of being unaware of your surroundings is unsettling. The book, The Cecil: The Journey Begins, quickly puts you in that uncomfortable position. This first-person horror game, published by Genie Interactive Games and Wandering Wizard, merges classic point-and-click gameplay with a psychological thriller story that’s both thrilling and creepy. John finds himself in a filthy cell, with the task of finding Sarah — his wife — justifiably appealing. This simple escape sequence is not…

It’s a Big Week For Games – What Will We See?
It’s a big week for gaming. The Switch 2 is out in just a couple of days, and then we have the Summer Games Fest and the Xbox conference at the weekend.

As always, the rumour mill has been working overtime and we have a good idea of some of what we might see over the coming seven days. Naturally, take…

It’s Risky Business Remaking Final Fantasy IX
of FinaOne of the last major titles unveiled in the great Nvidia leak of 2021 is a remake of Final Fantasy IX and all signs are pointing to an imminent announcement. It’s the 25th anniversary and the dedicated website is loaded with new information and art. Almost like there are some major game events in the next week or so. I for one am excited.

Sony’s GAAS Push Is Coming to a Crash
It was almost sound logic on Sony’s part. If you can make a single Fortnite, it doesn’t matter if there are a dozen failures. Fortnite is that big. So big in fact, that it takes more than a dozen failures to dethrone it. Why don’t people want to play games that are trying to steal oxygen from Fortnite and Call of Duty? Because they’re playing Fortnite and Call of Duty. They’re already in those ecosystems, they’ve already put a billion…

Bless the Skippable Cutscene
There’s a new pope kicking around, and while I’m sure his schedule is fairly busy I have a request: please bless the skippable cutscene. During his next visit to GamesReviews.com, I’m hoping he sees this and fully understands the absolute sincerity in which I ask this. The skippable cutscene is potentially one of the most beautiful inventions in the modern world. Firstly because it doesn’t require a subscription, but mostly just because of the pure convenience of it all. This…

Are Games Worth $80? Not a Chance
How much is a game worth to you? I’m not talking a specific game. Not the wishlist, dream game that you’d trade your firstborn for. Just a game. $80? My guess is it isn’t even close. The average gamer isn’t spending anywhere near that much. Maybe a few times a generation or in support of a certain publisher. Perhaps you’ll splurge at Christmas or when a console launches. But those are outliers. Factor in deals, bundles, deep discounts and what…

Grand Theft Auto 4: Lower Your Expectations
Just a few short weeks after we were all bouncing up and down about the Oblivion remaster, a new rumour has sprung up. Rockstar are working on bringing Grand Theft Auto 4 to PlayStation and Switch. That should tell you everything you need to know right there. Skipping Xbox (and PC for now) implies that this is just a straight port, bringing the fourth numbered entry in the legendary franchise to audiences who currently can’t access it. The game is…

No, Days Gone Doesn’t Need a Rethink
Days Gone was one of my first finishes of 2025, so no surprise they released a remastered version just after. That’s brought up the old conversation about if it’s really a bad game again. Honestly, I expected a poorly scripted, mediocre open world zombie game that only the biggest Sony fan could love. And sure, it’s a diamond in the rough, but you ignore the rough at your peril. Granted, I played it on PC a few years after release.…
