While there were plenty of armchair lawyers and some actual lawyers who were convinced that Palworld would end up in hot water with Pokemon and Nintendo due to percieved similarities between its pals and, well, Pokemon, PocketPair’s CEO has suggested that the studio is yet to recieve any formal indication of planned legal action from […]

The Batman’s Andy Serkis doesn’t know anything about the upcoming sequel, but he does know when it starts filming – and it’s still a while away

The Batman came out more than two years ago now, and now its own Alfred Pennyworth has shared when the sequel will be filming. Despite the hard reboot of the DCU, James Gunn has opted to let us hang on to Matt Reeves’ take on the world of Batman, as a sequel to 2022’s The […]

It took more than a decade, but My Hero Academia is finally ending this August

The most inventive, disruptive city-builder of the last few years is getting a massive expansion – and you can play it for free if you have a Netflix account

I have a lot of time for Terra Nil. I’ve written about it before and extolled its virtues as a city-builder that doesn’t do things by the book. It felt pertinent and relevent in 2023, and even more so as scorching heat waves cause chaos in 2024. It might be one of the most ecologically-aware […]

League of Legends has been around for a long time.

It should go without saying that the video game industry as a whole has shifted quite a bit […]

Who cares about the new Street Fighter movie, because the original ’90s classic is still making bank, apparently

Capcom might be working on a brand new Street Fighter film, but it turns out the original one still makes a surprising amount of money. Have you seen the original 1994 Street Fighter movie? I have, and let me tell you, if I was being real, I would admit it’s not that great a film. […]

Stardew Valley has a hardcore mode now thanks to a silly joke, but it’s no laughing matter – you will lose your save if you use a guide

If you like to live on the wild side, cosy farming sim Stardew Valley now has a hardcore mode mod. Stardew Valley isn’t exactly the kind of game you can make a hardcore mode for. It’s meant to be a mostly relaxing, slice-of-life type of game, not Elden Ring, or whatever. Maybe you could make […]
