If you're weary of Baldur's Gate 3's whimsy, or you've finished gnawing the bones of Diablo 4 and are hungry for more of that sweet, sweet grimdark, you might like to check out Beast from Polish developer False Prophet, which goes into Steam early access today. It's a turn-based tactics RPG with a Gothic historical setting, an extremely late-noughties insanity mechanic, a heavy metal soundtrack, plagues, heresy, dynastic feuding, and a protagonist with a dramatic eye scar and possibly non-metaph...

Between Silent Hill 3, Max Payne 2, Beyond Good and Evil, and a little game called Call of Duty, 2003 was a busy year.

Nevertheless, the future James Bond game studio found time for a small side project. Set in an alternate history where Soviet Russia beats the US to building the atomic bomb, and thus becomes the worl...

If there are two things that all Diablo 4 players love, it's blood and loot. While they're all experts in spilling gallons of the red stuff in their bids to acquire shiny new gear, Blizzard is hoping to switch things up a touch by encouraging real-world blood donations from its player base in exchange for in-game rewards. There's also a real-world item up for grabs too, a gaming PC with water cooling that's infused with real human blood.

Earlier this month, Sony revealed new slim models of its PlayStation 5 hardware. Both the disc drive and digital model are getting upgrades, but alongside this news, the company also revealed a new detachable disc drive. This optional drive can be added to a new slim model of the digital PS5, turning it into a console that can use discs. It seems this drive will require an internet connection to use, however.  Some images of a potentially upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III slim PS5 bundle...

New trailer fresh out of the oven. We have loved the look of Paper Mario-inspired RPG Born of Bread ever since we first laid eyes on it. We loved it still when we recently went hands-on with the game's first three hours, and that love will be continuing before the year is out as developer WildArts Studio and publisher Dear Villagers have shared that the title will be coming to Switch on 5th December. This new release date follows a previous delay in which the devs announced that the game needed ...

In the recently released Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker is unable to perform the 'Wakanda Forever' salute. The Wakandan Embassy is included as an Easter Egg in the game and if Miles Morales stands outside, a prompt appears to perform the iconic salute. When Peter does the same, there's no such prompt.

Snakey. If you are considering picking up the physical edition of Konami's Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, you might want to bear in mind just how little is packed onto the cart without completing some rather meaty updates. We have known that the Master Collection Vol. 1 on Switch would require a good number of downloads for some time now (Konami's website is quite open about this fact), but what we hadn't realised was just how little is included in the cartridge's 2 GB of front-load...

Starfield hit Xbox Series X/S and PC last month, and it became the biggest Bethesda game launch ever, later earning it the top spot on best-selling games in the U.S. last month.

The Nintendo 64 classic will be making its debut later this week, on 27th October.
