Within my first ten minutes of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, I was tending to a garden. After an hour, I’d learned to cook. While I’d eventually reach the title’s promised buccaneering, I had, by that point, played a pair of Sega Genesis games and learned enough “Intro to Small Business Management” to...

A pirate's life for me. After a pretty meaty delay (happy end of the week, everyone!), we finally have an updated look at the UK physical gaming charts, and it's a relatively quiet one for Nintendo. A couple of new releases have squeezed their way into the top 40 this week, with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii snatching silver and Dog Man: Mission Impawsible landing in 28th.

Ranked Matches will arrive in March, as well!

Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons development team is making another attempt at revising one of the game’s most beloved and most controversial character classes: the artificer.

iPhone 16e reviews are now out, and Apple's custom-designed C1 modem has been put to the test. The results so far are quite surprising, as the C1's speeds are not as slow compared to Qualcomm modems as originally expected. While the C1 does not support ultra-fast mmWave 5G in the U.S., it appears to offer comparable 5G performance to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X71 modem found in the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. First, here is what some reviewers said. The Verge's A...

Games Workshop’s 60-plus-book Black Library series The Horus Heresy may have come to an end recently with the three-part epic The End and the Death by Dan Abnett (Warhammer 40,000: Darktide), but the internecine conflict shows no signs of slowing down. That’s because publisher Cubicle 7 (Wrath & Glory, Imperium Maledictum) has plans for Warhammer...

You can try TMNT: Tactical Takedown for free until March 3.

A melancholy trip down memory lane.

Games Workshop has announced that a roleplaying game based on the popular Warhammer: The Horus Heresy setting is set to launch in 2026.

Monster Hunter Wilds is doing alright for itself, having smashed the 1m concurrent players barrier on Steam. And if you're one of the many players who've doubtless nipped back into the character editor because you've somehow made a hunter that looks like potato with a moustache, you might appreciate knowing you can actually modify your character once for free before Capcom makes you cough up some cash.

We've published our review of the new "budget" iPhone 16e, but if the savings there don't feel like quite the bargain you were looking for, there are a few consolation deals on other Apple gear — along with a handful of sales on more tech we currently recommend. The spotlight deal highlights the lowest price yet on a four-pack of Apple AirTags (now $65 at Amazon). We also noticed Amazon is still running a deal that tosses in a free $200 gift card with the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (...

[Ed. note: This post contains small spoilers about Reghabi’s time during “Chikhai Bardo,” the seventh episode of Severance season 2.] Severance viewers got a mind-scrambler of an episode with “Chikhai Bardo,” which offers new insights into Mark and Gemma’s past; reveals what Gemma’s life has been like in the intervening years since her “death”; and...

Thomas the Tank Engine is coming to Train Sim World 5, but if you’re looking for the modder responsible, you won’t find them. In a surprising but welcome move, the transport sim’s developers have got official approval to add this iconic children’s character to the game and also include some of his pals.

And that means your old graphics card is likely perfectly fine.

Intel just dropped a new Arc graphics driver, and it comes with game-ready support for the huge Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced update, coming to PC on March 4. Among the other games receiving game-ready support in this Intel update is Monster Hunter Wilds, which is struggling with performance issues on PC right now. You can follow our Monster Hunter Wilds best settings guides to try and avoid the same problems we encountered throughout testing.

An end of an era.

The system requirements for Hazelight Studios' next game are incredibly light, with Steam Deck verification also being awarded before release day. You won't need the best graphics card to run Split Fiction on PC, although it might be time to invest in some of the best gaming RAM if your system is still stuck at 8GB. EA has also continued its trend of...

Total War Warhammer 3 developer Creative Assembly is taking a different approach with its upcoming patch 6.1. The studio says it’s heard criticism from players that existing content was being neglected in favor of new things, so the next Total War Warhammer 3 update aims to rectify that. CA is returning to its most controversial DLC, Shadows of Change, splitting it out into separate standalone packs to bring it more in line with modern offerings, while also providing dramatic upgrades to two of ...

Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder in which… no, wait, come back! I get it, it can be hard to overcome your cynicism when faced with the conjunction of “roguelike” and “deckbuilder”, the two most pervasive buzzwords in indie gaming — especially in the wake of such perfect expressions of the form as...

The numbers looks horrible but it doesn't mean much, for now.

Turns out everyone's hunting for some fresh silicon right now.

How long do you tend to spend creating a character in a video game? The correct answer is three hours. Four hours if it's a Bethesda game, because creating a character in a Bethesda game is like rewinding the Raiders Of The Lost Ark face-melting scene while shooting at your TV with Homer Simpson's Make-Up Gun. It takes patience to extract beauty or even just plain inoffensiveness from the Creation Engine's sticky coils. Hang on, why am I being mean to Bethesda? I should be directing my snide rem...

We said "final" for the previous release candidate, but good things come in threes, don't they?

Last year, the Dragon Ball franchise turned 40. First begun by manga artist Akira Toriyama in the pages of Weekly Shōnen Jump, it’s grown into a pop culture empire of various TV series, video games, and virtually every other piece of merchandise that one can think of. Multiple generations of anime fans have recognized it...

It was only a matter of time.

With Gray Zone Warfare, Hunt Showdown, The Forever Winter, and Zero Sievert, the extraction FPS world is getting pretty full. But Escape From Tarkov remains the biggest and best known, the game that kickstarted the entire genre. Eight years since its initial launch, EFT is still going strong and still getting better. But if you’ve been having problems with Raiders, Scavs, and Rogues lately, Battlestate has just made the AI enemies easier to take on with a new Escape From Tarkov patch.
