The console wars up to this point have just been a rehearsal. If you thought the endless lists of the 360/PS3 era were brutal, you’re going to need to sit down for the upcoming subscription wars. And this isn’t just losers on Twitter – things are heating up between Microsoft and Sony too. You may recall a few weeks ago I wrote about Sony’s concerns about Game Pass, published in a document related to the Activision purchase. Microsoft have responded,…

If you've never played Two Point Hospital and love tycoon style affairs, than stop what you are doing and go grab it! And while you are at it, why not grab Two Point Campus as well, which has just launched across almost all platforms. Our very own Kevin Austin will be reviewing the game on the PlayStation 5, so be on the lookout for that review soon. In the meantime, here is what you can expect from Two Point Campus!

Since Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda was confirmed, there’s been one thing on everybody’s lips. The return of Fallout: New Vegas. Yeah, there were some other advantages for Microsoft as well. Starfield, a boost to their WRPG exclusive – that kind of thing. But yeah, the real potential was in some kind of return for Fallout: New Vegas. And apart from a few rumours, there has been no news. No DLC-laden ultimate edition running at 4K on Xbox, no remake, no…

It was ten years ago that the first series of Telltale’s The Walking Dead changed how we think about those kinds of video games. And maybe all video games. Two seasons into the TV series, fans found a new way of looking at the fictional Walker-fied universe – but it didn’t stop there. Thanks to being available on every single device in existence, as well as the episodic format, it quickly spread to a more casual audience. It wasn’t the…

Sony has reacted to the Activision purchase to regulators, and it is an eye opening glimpse behind the curtain. Without all the bluster and PR of companies on the public stage, we see what Sony thinks are the biggest threats of Microsoft buying Activision. To be fair, this isn’t necessarily their true feelings. Call of Duty is a huge title on PlayStation. They want the sale blocked. It makes sense to overegg the despair. But taken at face value, we…

Disney Dreamlight Valley will be out for Early Access on September 6th, 2022. Early Access will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and gamepass! If you’re a fan of simulation games like Harvest Moon or Rune Factory, then you’ll likely find this game very interesting. Disney…

If there was any company that could do a Super Smash Bros clone, it would be Warner Brothers. They have the variety and the history to pull it off. So the oddly named Multiversus should be a Space Jam-style slam dunk right? Like all free-to-play games, it’s not an easy question to answer. The game could be the best thing ever and if the monetization is wrong, then you’ll walk away from the experience feeling bitter. Unfortunately here, there are…

What makes a good game? Is it knights with giant swords, or robots with death rays? Is it really fast cars? Epic adventures in unknown lands? PowerWash Simulator is the latest game to prove it doesn’t have to be any of those things. Actually, my first few hours with it were regularly punctuated with the phrase “I’m not even sure I’m enjoying it”. Which, incidentally, is said about as much whenever I have to do a real-life chore. And therein…

The latest entry in the My Universe games – best known I think for being well-crafted family friendly games that are easy enough to play for nongamers and young kids – have moved on to what I think is their greatest one to date with Green Adventure – Farmers Friends. Despite the complicated naming convention, the idea is pretty simple. The old tried and true story of you getting a run-down farm and bringing it back to glory—this time with…

It’s easy to write up my first impressions of Overwatch 2. They’re pretty much exactly the same as my last impressions of Overwatch 1. I know that’s not the most original take on the internet, but unfortunately it is an inescapable one. I loaded up the game, picked a couple of familiar characters, played for a little bit and it could’ve been an update for the old game. And don’t get me wrong: it would’ve been a hell of an…
