Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep is one of the better things to come out of Borderlands. Turning the over-the-top, irreverent sense of humour of the main series into a gun-toting parody of Dungeons & Dragons is a lot of fun—arguably even more so than the original games. In that …
WWE 2K22’s greatest strength is its authenticity. While previous iterations have struggled to recreate the feeling of watching WWE television, this year’s release does it effortlessly, from the realistic visuals to the heightened impact when connecting with strikes and slams, it’s a clear improvement on its predecessors in almost every …
When you think of “Taito milestones”, what comes to mind? Space Invaders, surely, as one of the most influential videogames of all time? The inimitable charm of Bubble Bobble? The unique style and innovation of Darius? You’ll find none of these in Taito Milestones. This new 10-game compilation is touted …

Harriet “Harry” Wild has a knack for detective work, it turns out, as well as …
A Demon Lord so powerful and dangerous that Gods and Demons put aside their differences (and endless warring) to stop the threat gets sealed away, only to wake up a few years later to a world that’s… changed. Gods and Demons don’t exist anymore, magic is scarce, and humans live …
