I spent this morning in the new demo of angler-detective mystery About Fishing – an updated and expanded sampler from the one that Oisin tried last year – and as a piece of playable marketing, it’s done the job. I am intrigued by its tale of mermaids and missing persons; I am absorbed in its creepy rural backdrop of dead streets and churches with prison cells in the basement; I am impressed by how it handles its cold, drizzly weirdness without ever going hey-hey wacky. Even when it introduces a ...

Apple has taken a new approach to its stock wallpapers with iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate, using variations of the same artwork across all platforms for the first time. In previous years, most platforms shipped with their own distinct wallpaper. This year, they all share a design called "Celosia," featuring sweeping, overlapping curves and soft shadows inspired by layered flower petals or folded paper. In Light mode, warm sandy gold blends into soft purple; Dark mode shifts to moody deep indig...

Crazy Taxi: World Tour's reveal during the Xbox Games Showcase was a highlight, finally offering a look at the modern incarnation of the classic series. The excitement was quickly soured, however, when its Steam page revealed Sega has used generative AI in the game's development.

I'll take environmental lighting over a cell-blocking button any day of the week.

macOS 27 Golden Gate brings a major improvement to iPhone Mirroring, allowing users to resize the window beyond the iPhone's fixed aspect ratio for the first time. Until now, iPhone Mirroring has been limited to the iPhone's native aspect ratio in a small window. Users could adjust the window's overall size somewhat, but its proportions remained locked. With ‌macOS 27‌, users can now change the aspect ratio of the iPhone Mirroring window itself, offering dramatically more flexibility for workflo...

News, reactions, and maybe a stifled tear or two as the highly-influential FPS gets its last content update.

Shovel Knight studio Yacht Club Games was worried last year about Mina the Hollower's launch after such a long time away from the public, but it turns out it had nothing to worry about. Mina's debut has now sold over 500k copies in less than two weeks.

Give me a game where I can hoof an enemy over the side of the cliff like a cut price Leonidas, and I'm happy. (It seems I'm not the only one.) So, yes, while I was sad to see no swarms of rats in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, I was very happy with the switch from stealth gameplay to scrappy melee. I might have been more worried going in if I knew just how little experience developer Asobo Studio have making combat games. "Nobody did a combat game before Resonance," lead level designer Valéria...

Apple's first iOS 27 developer beta, released on Monday, includes a new feature in the Find My app that lets you temporarily hide your location from select people. A new "Hide Location" option appears in the user's Find My card in the People section, under "My Location." Tapping it hides your location temporarily for 12 hours before reverting to your previous shared location state. When enabled, the option switches to "Unhide Location." As it currently works, enabling the feature doesn't appear ...

The framework is also gaining image input suppo...

In some ways, the later the better.

Apple in iOS 27 has made a small but significant change to how the Now Playing widget works on your iPhone's Lock Screen – you can now swipe it away to get rid of it. Previously, there was no way to dismiss the Now Playing interface on the Lock Screen. But in the first iOS 27 developer build released yesterday, a leftward swipe on the playback controls slides in a Clear button from the right. Clearing the controls from the screen also removes the smaller Now Playing widget from the Dynamic Islan...

Ken you believe it? Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 6 has now surpassed a whopping 7 million copies sold. Initially released in 2023, a Switch 2 port followed on 5th June 2025 as part of the console's launch line-up. While 7 million is a mighty impressive number, it has still yet to beat Street Fighter V, which is the best-selling entry at 7.90 million.

Here's where and when to watch the summer 2026 Nintendo Direct showcase, and what announcements to expect.

Apple made the visionOS 27 beta available to Vision Pro developers after Monday's WWDC 2026 keynote, and in this version there is a new Environment that allows you to immerse yourself in the Icelandic highlands.

Fumito Ueda, creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and the Last Guardian, showed off his new game at this weekend's Summer Game Fest showcase. Gen Atlas sees you step into the shoes of a scavenger in a desert world littered with the carcasses of vast robots. It falls to you to piece one of these machines back together and… well, what your aim is exactly is unclear. However, as stark as the landscapes of the dead world, was that your character has a machine gun slung across their back and, judg...
