Pinball video games have been around for years — I cut my teeth on Space Cadet 3D Pinball, which was pre-loaded on Windows 95. They range from realistic recreations of pinball tables you’ll find at arcades to games that could never exist in real life like 2019’s Demon’s Tilt or older ones like Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS or Pokémon Pinball for the Game Boy Color. I didn’t expect to find a detailed pinball game for the humble and delightful Playdate, but a pair of developers working...

An emotionally gripping adventure with a little pink alien

"We were blown away by the reception". Bubsy, it's safe to say, doesn't have the greatest reputation in the world. So when Bubsy 4D was announced at Gamescom 2025, we were honestly pretty floored. Not only was Atari reviving a series that's arguably had far more misses than hits in its 30+ year history, but it was bringing on critically-acclaimed developer Fabraz to do the job. With the likes of Demon Turf and Demon Tides under its belt, Fabraz has won the hearts of gamers worldwide with its uni...

Team Star Fox, ready for duty! Welcome welcome welcome, to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Last time, we stepped into the ring with Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO for the GameCube, as this was a really close one, folks. Both designs are really cool, but in the end, Japan and Europe won the day with 53% of the vote, leaving North America to mop up the remaining 47%.

Alongside a new trailer, it's now been confirmed this time-travelling adventure will be launching for both of these platforms on 17th September 2026. The new, and rather lengthy video on display, showcases the playable characters on offer, chain skills and much more!

"5 titles featuring 9 vibrant games". If you're a fan of short and sweet experiences such as Toree 3D and Macbat 64, physical distributor Super Rare Games has announced the Toree & Friends Collection for Switch.

Introducing two characters from Frontier City. The new "free-to-start" battle title Pokémon Champions is out next week for the Switch on 8th April 2026, and to help build some excitement, The Pokémon Company has released a new "world overview" trailer. As you might have guessed from the title, this cinematic introduces trainers to the world of Pokémon. It shows off the Battle Arena within Frontier City, where trainers face each other in "fierce battles day and night" in a race to the top. In thi...

Instead it's returning to Strixhaven, a less problematic wizard school and part of Magic's existing multiverse.

Crimson Desert appears to be changing quicker than a musical theatre actor that has 90 seconds to put on a new outfit before their next number is up. A new update arrived in the action RPG earlier today, bringing with it nothing particularly revolutionary, but several tweaks that'll probably make you say something to the effect of "oh nice, that'll be handy."

There's finally a release date for the Spaceballs sequel — but before you get too excited, it's a whole year away. As first reported by Deadline, Amazon MGM Studios announced on Friday night that the upcoming Spaceballs movie will hit theaters on April 23, 2027, right around the 40th anniversary of the first film. Several members of the original cast will be reprising their roles, according to Deadline, including Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, George Wynder and Daphne Zuniga. Spaceballs...

Show us that jawline, Kliff.

FromSoftware has an obvious penchant for secrets, their games are just littered with them. This is probably best exemplified in Elden Ring for the simple fact that the game is unapproachably massive, you're more than likely to find at least one secret somewhere along the line even just by accident. And four years on, the secrets continue to manifest, albeit on this occasion thanks to known FromSoft dataminer Lance McDonald, who's managed to uncover a cutscene involving Miquella. You know, that g...

GTA 5 will leave Xbox Game Pass on April 15, showing how it has an on-again, off-again relationship with video game subscription services.

Hey, I know that church.

For those will never tire of the words of Ursula K. Le Guin, a special treat is on the way. The esteemed late author's blog, which she started in 2010 at the age of 81, is being rereleased as a podcast, In Your Spare Time. Le Guin's blog ran until 2017, and a book collecting a selection of those posts was published that year. But, the podcast will include everything: essays, poems and "even the ones that are mostly cat pictures," according to the announcement. The first episode will be released ...

Cryptic as always.

Cephalons aside, Warframe will remain AI-free.

Instead of raising prices again, Netflix may have to lower its subscription costs in Italy. A court in Rome recently ruled that Netflix owed its Italian users a refund for price hikes between 2017 and January 2024 and a reduction to previous subscription costs. On top of the refunds, Netflix Italia would have to inform its affected subscribers of their right to a refund. The lawsuit was originally filed by Movimento Consumatori, a consumer rights organization based in Rome. The group's president...

I should go.

I am not going to drudge up the half decomposed discourse around whether games are art or not. They most certainly offer up a huge range of experiences that other mediums do not. Experiences that wrench the heart, that cause tears of joy, that get you to rethink your very existence, that cover that period in time where developers started having kids and birthed the dad game. And then there is Horse Magnifier. A game where you magnify horses. A game that I like quite a lot!

There's no stopping Scream 8, but maybe the next movie can actually do something interesting with its mystery villain
