I can still remember the first time I met Snake. I was at university, and the person in the next room from mine had a PS1. I remember seeing loads of legendary games for the first time sitting on their couch as their PS1 sat upside down - it was one of those with the wonky laser. Snake, though? Snake was special. I hadn't played games in a while, so bundled up with my memories of stuff like Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider was my confusion and delight and concern about the ways that games were e...

Researchers have just discovered that the moon is about 40 million years older than previously thought. Which is a big difference. In a study published by the European Association of Geochemistry, scientists looked at the age of crystal formations. The prevalence of zircon crystals in the samples, collected years ago from NASA’s Apollo program back in 1972, suggests that the surface of the moon was created around 110 million years after the formation of the solar system. NASA’s theory is that a ...

I’ve got yet another excellent Fallout 4 mod for you, and it turns the scavs into an entire faction with quests, voiced NPCs, new guns and apparel, and so much more. The breadth of this mod almost makes it feel like a Bethesda mini-DLC, and it’s got the quality to back that up.

Doom Eternal remains one of the best-looking shooters of recent years. Fast, bloody, and with a superb range of weapons (all hail the Super Shotgun), it also boasts a wonderful, chunky aesthetic - demons disintegrate into flesh lumps, environments are detailed and stark, the whole game is dripping with atmosphere. Combine that with Left 4 Dead, Valve’s peerless co-op shooter, that pushes the importance of teamwork to new heights, then add some of the loot-driven, extraction style of Hunt Showdow...

For the last few months, I've had my eye on this gorgeous set of cans from Focal, whose wired headphones are lauded by audiophiles - so when the legendary French firm announced the brand new Dune variant of their wireless, noise cancelling £699/$799 Focal Bathys, I just had to get my hands on them. In this brand new sandy colourway, the Bathys looks excellent. It's perhaps a left-field colour for headphones, but helps set them apart from the sea of black, grey and red options. Combined with this...

Cities Skylines 2 is not having the smoothest launch, granted, it's not Sim City bad (yet), but it feels like the game wasn't ready for release due to a severe lack of optimization. In a recent Reddit AMA, the chief technical officer of developer Colossal Order confirmed that 30 fps was always the performance goal because there is "no real benefit in a city builder to aim for higher fps".

One month after launch, Payday 3's PC player count has dropped to around 10 times less than that of its predecessor, Payday 2. Payday 3's released was marred by server issues which left players unable to access the game during its launch weekend, something which developer Starbreeze blamed on a third-party matchmaking service. While these issues have been resolved, players are still finding other problems with the game technically, and with its UI, progression, and its always-online requirement....

Bethesda and Todd Howard announced Elder Scrolls 6 when they did because of fan demand, or in the words of Skyrim's lead designer Bruce Nesmith, because "the pitchforks and torches were out". Nesmith, who has been part of Bethesda Softworks on and briefly off since the 90s and has worked on Skyrim, the Fallout series and Starfield, said the studio took "years of hits for not talking about Elder Scrolls 6" publicly.
