Think FromSoftware and your mind instantly flits to a skeleton doing a forward roll doesn’t it? Or an electrified goat that rolls. Or a bald man cackling as he kicks you down a hole. And, of course, the tricky boss fights with deformed dragons and Fell Omens from the West Country. Since I’ve been playing

Bloomberg posted a new report about Grand Theft Auto 6’s development, based on sources close to or within Rockstar Games.

This is The Rally Point, a regular column where the inimitable Sin Vega delves deep into strategy gaming. Strategy games are the go-to option when you’re looking for something to really get your brain working.

When I sat down to talk to Wadjet Eye founder Dave Gilbert last week, he was in the middle of trying to sum up The Excavation Of Hob’s Barrow, a new point and click adventure from Cloak And Dagger Games that his studio will be publishing later this year. “Usually, by the time a game

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the highly anticipated sequel to Fallen Order that brings back Cal Kestis likely in a Jedi Knight role.

Warner Bros. Montreal’s character spotlights have given us detailed looks at Nightwing and Robin, and now we get a good look at Batgirl’s combat prowess in Gotham Knights. In the trailer above, we see her acrobatic maneuvers make short work of a gang. The footage also shows what appears to be a boss fight and

In a lengthy behind-the-scenes video, Naughty Dog’s development team walks through the changes players can expect from The Last of Us Part I, a high-end PlayStation 5 remake that should look just as good as its sequel. While the story beats will be mostly the same, Naughty Dog has reworked most of the gameplay and

Ubisoft has reportedly canceled several in-development titles, including the previously announced Ghost Recon Frontline and Splinter Cell VR. The publisher announced the cancellations in an investor call, part of the same earnings report that revealed the delay of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Ubisoft’s open-world title set in James Cameron’s sci-fi fantasy universe, will now launch sometime in either 2023 or 2024. The news comes from Ubisoft’s quarterly sales report.  Unfortunately, the report, which you can view here, doesn’t narrow down Avatar’s release window more than that. According to The Verge, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot

The future of Destiny 2 will be revealed in a livestream showcase set to air on August 23. Bungie tweeted a cryptic video, posted below, and sent an equally vague press release that simply says to expect “exciting details about what’s next for Destiny 2.” The most likely announcement is an update on the Lightfall expansion, which is

A new trailer puts on a spotlight on one of those baddies, Lord Frieza, while also confirming an October launch date.  For those unaware, The Breakers tasks a

I’ve not been slow while writing news stories this evening, I have throttled my performance to protect myself. In this I may have something in common with the Steam Deck. Valve tweeted earlier today to let users “in the midst of a heatwave” know that at temperatures over 35 degrees centigrade, the Steam Deck may

I’m a huge fan of watching the AI fight each other, whether that’s spawning demons in Dwarf Fortress’s Arena mode or carting around a suicidally incompetent security guard in Half-Life. Enter CacoFrendo, a mod for the original Doom that lets you pet the Cacodemon until he becomes your pal and fights on your side.

Long awaited cat ’em up Stray is out as of today, which is good news for us humans who play videogames. It may also be good news for actual cats, if the Twitter account Cats Watching Stray is any indication. It seems like cats can’t get enough of watching their virtual doppelganger on screen, and

As per usual, I’m here to tell you about a new quart of game juice being loaded into the Game Pass tube. As per usual, I’m going to frame these games as alternately new indie games with potential and mid-tier blockbusters you (probably) never got around to. What’s different this time is that there’s also
