Including all ports and DLC. The upcoming 'Definitive' Switch version of Xenoblade Chronicles X has gotten us all excited about not just the Wii U gem coming in from the cold, but about the wider series in general.

The fo...

PowerWash Simulator is a surprisingly cozy game, giving the player a pressure washer and a truly grimy and grubby environment to clean up. The game has been so successful that there are crossovers with other pop culture titans, like Warhammer 40,000 or Tomb Raider. On Thursday, developer FuturLab announced a self-published sequel with improved visuals,...

AMD has pulled off a miraculous comeback with its new GPUs, with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT practically pointing and laughing at the RTX 5070 as it sputters with 12GB of VRAM. It’s not just the new GPUs that wowed me with this launch, though, but also the feature set with FSR 4, and AMD just needs to make one change to this feature set to knock one of Nvidia’s key competitive advantages out of the running - make FSR 4 an open standard that will run on Nvidia Tensor cores. Can it be done? After en...

If you love space bug-blasting co-op games, then 2024 was definitely a year to remember. Helldivers 2 was an unexpected breakout hit, only for Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 to drop and reach similar levels of success. The reception to the latter was so good and so encouraging that publisher Focus Entertainment has just greenlit a sequel just six months on from its launch. That’s right, development is now underway for Space Marine 3, and Saber Interactive is at the helm once again.

Messing around like that is all the better with friends though, I reckon, and would you look at that, developer Tuxedo Labs have just announced today that a multiplayer upda...
