Back in 1999, the world felt like it was on a precipice. The scary 2000s were just around the corner and some people thought it would be the end of all things and that the robots would destroy us before the fireworks began on New Year’s Eve. But it was a year that provided some
It turns out that what – at the time – felt like novel fun, was in fact one of the more forgettable gaming experiences of my life. That’s The Elder Scrolls: Blades in a nutshell for you, really. A mobile game that feels impressive during your first dungeon, and even your second, but the novelty
Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) The surprising phenomenon of indies casting Hollywood talent continues with Open Roads, a three-hour narrative adventure. But then this is the latest release from Annapurna Interactive, a publisher of both films and games, which has a few similarly voice-acted examples in its back catalogue – the delectable The Artful Escape
Haha. I still think it’s the greatest console operating system of all time. But yeah, I was really passionate about telling everyone I could how much I loved that OS. Fast forward to around 2017-2018, I had just transferred over to a new CSS role, and I was talking about my love for the blades
Excitement surged through the Pokemon Go community recently with news of an upcoming Research Task featuring Mythical Pokemon Zarude. But it wasn’t long before the excitement waned. Why? Because the Dark/Grass-type Pokemon was locked behind paid research. Absent since 2021, players were disappointed to learn the only way to snag Zarude was by purchasing the
Capcom Town may not be a name that is familiar to you. If not, Capcom Town is the official name of a digital tourist destination site that Capcom made last year to celebrate the video gaming company’s 40th anniversary. The site is still available to see, and they even have a Twitter account for it.
Sony has won a court battle instigated by Genuine Enabling Technology (GET) that accused the PlayStation maker of infringing on one of its controller technology patents. At the time of filing, the most recent Sony console would have been the PlayStation 4. As reported by Gamesindustry.biz, the lawsuit originally filed in 2017 by GET sought
TimeSplitters Rewind, a fan-made remake of the zany shooters’ multiplayer in a single game, might well represent the last gasp of the beloved first-person shooter franchise following the closure of resurrected original developers Free Radical – who were working on their own TimeSplitters reboot – at the end of last year. With over a decade
I can hardly believe that it is already Series 32 of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges in Forza Horizon 5, and with it dawns a whole new Series header – That of “Horizon Race Off”. Now, I do like a race and so this fills my little heart with glee – hopefully that means we’ll
Last week, we asked you to travel to 19th-century Japan and share epic moments from Rise of the Ronin using #PSshare #PSBlog.

If you finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and are curious to learn more about how it came to be, Sony and Square Enix have released a new making-of series called Inside Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The four-part series features interviews with thirty of the game’s lead designers, such as director Naoki Hamaguchi, creative director Tetsuya Nomura,
For the most part, I do generally like it when video games are good, a statement that I don’t think is particularly controversial. Good games equals a good time! What’s there to lose! But these days, I feel like there are a lot of “good” games, rather than good. Do you know what I mean?
Image: Nintendo Life Thunderful Group is once again back in the news today as it has been reported that the studio is selling Pumpkin Jack publisher Headup at a fraction of what it was bought for back in 2021. Word of this sale comes to us from Gamesindustry.biz which reports that Thunderful has sold the
A recent report by Kotaku claimed that GTA 6‘s release date was originally set for sometime in Q1 2025, but the game is potentially facing a delay into 2026. The news resulted in publisher Take-Two Interactive‘s stock plummeting by 5.2%, but Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier claims that the report was overblown, while other known insiders have
Red Candle Games made its name developing psychological horror titles such as Detention and Devotion, but its third game, Nine Sols, sees the studio veer into the action genre. First revealed in 2021, the Sekiro-inspired title is coming on May 29. Nine Sols sports a hand-drawn art direction and an aesthetic that blends sci-fi, cyberpunk,
It looks like Microsoft and Sony have finally put their differences aside to release a native PS5 version of Minecraft. The lack of a native version somehow became a point of contention during legal proceedings against Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard, with the former placing blame on Sony. Minecraft PS5 version outed by PlayStation Store
I think its reasonable to say that the term ‘fetch quest’ is well passed the point of being a neutral descriptor and has moved firmly into the realm of full pejorative. You won’t see many games tout ‘epic fetch quests’ on their Steam Page, and you’re much more likely to hear the term lodged between
PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade has yet to release but there’s already talk of Stellar Blade 2. Developer Shift Up seems keen to explore possibilities, if its comments in a recent interview are anything to go by. However, the studio made it clear that it needs to sell enough copies of the upcoming game first. Will
