They're hoping to have the case made into a class action.

"Could we make it that they’re all baseball players in a baseball league?". Gail Tilden, former Nintendo of America’s marketing boss, recently spoke to The Video Game History Foundation's Frank Cifaldi at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo, and one of the topics she touched upon was the small matter of launching Pokémon in the West. As you'll probably be aware, Pokémon—or Pocket Monsters, as it's known in Japan—was already something of a phenomenon in its homeland before it reached North America ...

He's all about parrying instead of weapon switching.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has tapped Fast & Furious director Justin Lin to direct its upcoming movie adaptation of BRZRKR, the popular comic by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt about an immortal warrior. Netflix first announced plans to create both a live-action movie and an anime based on BRZRKR back in 2021, with Reeves starring in the former and returning to voice his character in the animated show. But, we’ve heard little about the projects since. In the meantime, Reeves and au...

Released in late 2023, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 was a promising but ultimately frustrating, buggy, and visually lacklustre effort from Konami. However, the good news is that improvements have been made, with version 2.0 taking aim at several key issues on console and PC. It's a relief to see, because it's a project worth salvaging - being an all-in-one package containing seven core games in the series, with some beautifully presented extras. Today, I'm focusing on the Metal Ge...

Players have blasted NetEase for a perceived lack of moderation across Marvel Rival lobbies.

Game developers get pretty short shrift on screen, mostly by not being represented at all. Filmmakers generally love to make movies about driven, uncompromising artists just like themselves, but for some reason — probably either snobbery, fear, or lack of understanding — they don’t often choose people who make video games as subjects. On the...

Roguelike ARPG Ravenswatch proved one of my favorite surprises of 2024. I hadn’t followed it too closely during early access, but was immediately captivated when I jumped in ahead of the full launch in September. Structured like a more open-world spin on Hades and with nine Diablo-style classes inspired by all manner of classic fairy tales and legends, it’s great fun solo or in co-op. But if you’re someone who loves playing with a friend, Passtech Games has just revealed the perfect new DLC - an...

Frontier's first Unlocked livestream of 2025 has unveiled what Planet Coaster 2 players can expect when Updates 3 and 4 roll out over the next couple of months.

I’m both a lifelong superhero fan and a born and bred New Yorker, which means that as this week’s Daredevil: Born Again rolled out its version of Wilson “The Kingpin” Fisk’s rise to the office of mayor of New York City, I wasn’t thinking about what this would mean for Matt Murdock. Instead, I was...

If videogames have one universal truth, it’s that bashing zombies in the head never gets old. Whether cleaving with the fireaxe in Left 4 Dead 2, sliding into the undead and unleashing combos with a makeshift shiv in Dying Light, or hitting infected in the dome with brown sugar in Dead Rising, there’s just something about taking out these sub-human beings. One of the best to ever do it is Dead Island 2 - a sequel a decade in the making - and you can snag the game cheap right now.

Of all the new survival games that arrived in 2024, grimdark looter shooter The Forever Winter has a particularly captivating premise. In its wasteland ruled by the hulking mechs of warring megacorporations, you’re but a tiny figure scrabbling through the dust. Every inch of space or ounce of water you can scrounge might prove the difference between life and death. Fun Dog Studios has nailed the tone - but so far, it’s felt very distinctly early in the cooking process. Now, however, one of the t...

History is told by the winners, the saying goes, and that’s certainly been true with English-language coverage of the video game industry. Want coverage of the NES and PlayStation? That’s easy to find. Want coverage of the Zemmix and Dendy? Were you even aware they existed? Lewis Packwood’s book Curious Video Game Machines was written...

Welcome to Obenseuer, and yes, that does mean "open sewer".

Buckle up, ghost-hunting fans - Phasmophobia's Bleasdale House has had a terrifyingly good makeover.

Parents have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Fortnite maker Epic Games for allegedly creating "the illusion of scarcity" and "FOMO" with its store items.

Google will have to break up its business, the Justice Department said in a filing, upholding the previous administration's proposal after a federal judge ruled last year that the company illegally abused a monopoly over the search industry. As The Washington Post and The New York Times have reported, the Justice Department reiterated in a new filing that Google will have to sell the Chrome browser. When the DOJ argued for its sale last year, it said that selling Chrome "will permanently stop Go...

The Resident Evil Outbreak successor I didn't know I needed to type about.

People don’t talk enough about how funny Bong Joon Ho’s movies are. That’s probably to be expected from one of the greatest masters of tension working in movies today — but it’s a shame, because even his tensest movies are also funny as hell.  With his latest movie, Mickey 17, director Bong has finally made...

I’m old enough to remember the first appearance of Minecraft, and it felt like a revolution. Sprawling, open, and freeform, it set the bar that the best sandbox games would live up to in the years to follow. While it took a while to reach its peak, No Man’s Sky feels similarly transformative - opening a literal universe of possibilities for you to explore, gather, and craft in. Now, bringing them both together, new space game Cubic Odyssey is looking extremely promising, and you can try a demo f...

Manor Lords developer Slavic Magic is sharing what’s in the works for the early access city builder’s future, and it’s looking suitably stacked. If you’ve been waiting for the next batch of upgrades and changes to arrive before diving back in, your prayers have been answered, because we’re getting a new map, changes to the castle planner, and some major reworks to the progression system.

But you can't take them home tonight.

There was definitely "something in the air" this week as Tim Cook promised, with Apple making a number of product announcements to breathe new life into several of its Mac and iPad products. Some aspects of the announcements were expected while others were a bit of a surprise as was Apple looking to entice potential customers with some interesting choices for its new products, so read on below for all the details! Everything Apple Announced This Week It was a busy week for Apple with multiple ne...

I had no idea what I was getting into when I jumped into the world of Sorry We’re Closed, a narrative-driven survival horror adventure that pairs the grime and decay of Silent Hill with the stylish, sexed-up demons of Persona games. But the artists behind Sorry We’re Closed have managed to remix some of my...

Not the same? When Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 launched, I only had one thought on my mind: “This is awesome, but can we please get 3 + 4?” I had dabbled with the first two entries back in the day, but it was only when Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 launched in 2001 that I properly got hooked on the series. It felt perfect, and despite classics like Metroid Prime and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker sitting higher on my ‘best GameCube' list, there’s no other game I sunk more hours into than THPS 3...

Spring is nearly here, and that means Netflix has mixed up its library with plenty of new movies for you to discover. Every month, we handpick a few of the best thrillers on Netflix that fit the current season. Sometimes they pair well with an upcoming release. Other titles might be new additions to the...

"Ever wonder what a Ghost or Power Pellet tastes like?"

Larian's post-launch journey with Baldur's Gate 3 is almost at an end. The upcoming Patch 8 signals the final major update for the game, but at least it's going out with a bang. There's a photo mode, crossplay, and an array of new subclasses to make another playthrough incredibly exciting. We've just learned even more about how four of these new classes will work, and one of them puts respect on Jackie Chan's Drunken Master.

A Splitgate 2 open beta is coming in May, and developer 1047 Games promises “way more” in the next public test than its recent alpha offered. The new multiplayer FPS is one of my most-anticipated upcoming games in 2025 - I absolutely adored the original Splitgate’s blend of movement, verticality, and portal-based strategy, and I’m excited to see how the studio builds on that for its free-to-play sequel.

Ara: History Untold enters the atomic age.

Diablo 4 Season 8 plans to toughen up the Blizzard RPG’s endgame, and you’ll have the chance to try out the upcoming update and D4 patch 2.2.0 in just a few days via the PTR. In its latest campfire chat, the developer lifts the lid on the long-awaited return of Belial - Lord of Lies, one of the seven Lesser Evils, and a key antagonist in the Diablo 3 campaign - as he makes a fresh bid for Sanctuary. Alongside the first glimpses of his arrival, Blizzard promises much more challenge than in the cu...

If you thought the age of triple-A couch co-op was dead, Hazelight Studios continues to prove otherwise. The developer has already given us stellar two-player experiences with A Way Out and It Takes Two, and now Split Fiction has arrived to both critical and player praise. Hazelight’s Friend’s Pass already makes it easier than ever to play its games with a friend or partner, and you can even try a Split Fiction demo without spending a cent.

No luck Hunting them Monsters then? The weekend has rolled around once more so it's time for another edition of What Are You Playing! After last week's Poké-fest, it's been a slightly quieter one in Nintendo land over recent days. The Game Boy NSO library was treated to a duo of new titles, Nintendo started slashing some prices ahead of MAR10 Day and we finally got the official announcement of the worst-kept secret in the biz, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4.
