There’s already a lot of expectation behind the Civilization 7 DLC. Firaxis’ much-anticipated 4X sequel has been going through a tough time since launch - Steam reviews are still officially ‘mixed,’ and Civ 6 is regularly attracting more players on Valve’s platform than its would-be successor. Updates are planned. Patches are coming. But additions like new leaders, new empires, and new Wonders are what some players want most. Now, according to a fresh listing on the Nintendo Store, we know preci...

Fallen Aces from Trey Powell, Jason Bond and New Blood Interactive looks awesome and now it should be even better. With the Wheels of Steel update there's been a few bits added, overhauled and now it's Steam Deck Verified too.

Stashed deep within the Izumi Settsu province, the Assassin's Creed Shadows Hideout is where you’ll spend plenty of time in the open-world RPG when you’re not out on missions.

"It was a bit hurtful". In a recent interview with VGC, Mario + Rabbids director Davide Soliani recalled the moment when the team received word from Ubisoft regarding the sales performance of 2022's Sparks of Hope. In short, the game didn't meet Ubisoft's internal expectations, but given the passion from its development team and the positive critical reception from players, Soliani and the rest of the staff felt somewhat demoralised by the announcement.

I was skeptical at first, but Deadlock has ensnared me in a way that's vanishingly rare. I've played Valve's unreleased multiplayer shooter for 500 hours so far, and I've no intention of stopping. It's my new Team Fortress 2. Heck, it might be my new Dota. It's basically both at once, which is a feat of sublime dark magic, and phooey to anyone who looks in and claims this isn't doing anything new.

Another nugget from the PlayStation vet. Gosh, we sure have heard a lot from former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida in recent weeks, huh? Since leaving Sony, the PS vet has been pretty candid in discussing his career, interests, and just about anything else you might want to know. And now, he wants an invite to Nintendo HQ (thanks for the heads up, Push Square). Okay that makes it sound a little more demand-y than it actually is. In a recent interview with Japanese publication Gamer.ne.jp (via G...
