Super Mario Bros. Wonder appears to be the 2D Mario I’ve wanted for 20 years – PREVIEW

I have to be honest – most of New Super Mario Bros. sort of passed me by. I really enjoyed the original one, back on DS, but as that series wore on, my excitement for 2D Mario increasingly waned. But in one short hands-on, Super Mario Bros. Wonder has restored that excitement, and reminded me […]

How Cyberpunk 2077 cheated the past to forge the future

A sense of Deja Vu swept the gaming industry this week as we once again heard that familiar refrain about the latest update making Cyberpunk 2077 properly good now.

Nvidia worked with Valve specifically to make Counter-Strike 2 look that good

With the release of Counter-Strike 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been upgraded to the Source 2 engine, and Valve worked with Nvidia to ensure the game leveraged newer graphics APIs for improved fidelity and responsiveness. CS:GO became one of the most popular competitive first-person shooters upon its release in 2012, eventually becoming the most-played title […]

Counter-Strike 2 releases on Steam, but can it beat CS:GO’s all-time peak?

Just in case the initial tease, and subsequent Twitter account banner change didn’t give you enough of a hint, Counter-Strike 2 has indeed arrived on Wednesday, September 27. As was always the plan, the game replaced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam. In fact, the Steam store page retains pretty much everything from the original CS:GO […]

What does PlayStation look like without Jim Ryan?

In case you missed it, Jim Ryan retired from his role as PlayStation boss late last night.

Monster Hunter Now is, refreshingly, not Pay-to-Win – but damn it’s still a grind

If you’ve been bitten by the Monster Hunter Now bug, you’ve almost certainly also been smashing your head against the progression wall that crops up relatively quickly in your play experience. Thanks to the glacial progression, bizarre drop rates, and aggressively gated items, many people online call the game ‘Pay To Win’. I disagree, though. […]

In what is perhaps one of my favourite Pokemon collaborations so far, The Pokemon Company International has partnered with the Van Gogh Museum to host a variety of themed activities, launch some adorable merchandise, and release some fantastic promotional cards. “To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Van Gogh Museum, Pokemon and the Van Gogh […]
