A new year is very nearly upon us, and as always, a new year brings with it new games. January isn’t traditionally seen as a month when big releases queue up for our attention, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find new games to check out after the Christmas period has officially ended. Indeed, if

Tis the season, as the old song goes, and we hope that you had a great holiday period and that you’re looking forward to the beginning of a new year. Hopefully, this one will carry some slightly gladder tidings. Of course, the march of gaming news continues, and while this week has naturally been a

With the Game Awards well and truly over and done with for another year, we can now look forward to Christmas and the New Year, a period during which news generally quiets down. That’s not to say nothing’s happening, of course; we’ve got plenty to highlight as part of our rundown. It just means that

This week saw the airing of the annual Game Awards ceremony, and it was a doozy of a show this year, with plenty of new announcements and surprises to sink our teeth into. Whether it’s revivals of classic Capcom franchises, PC ports of critically-acclaimed PlayStation games, or unexpected followups to top-selling action RPGs you’re after,

We’re fast approaching the week of the Game Awards, which is traditionally when many big companies and studios announce what’s next in their pipeline, and that means a lot of studios are likely holding onto their big news for this occasion. As such, the week or so before the Game Awards airs can tend to

Another week has come to an end, and if you’re a regular reader, you’ll know what that means: it’s once again time to take a look at the events of the past week in the gaming industry. We’re in the midst of what many might consider to be a transitional period for the world of

The countdown to Christmas has well and truly begun, and what better way to celebrate the holiday – whether you celebrate Christmas or a different occasion – than with some great games? Believe it or not, December is often a slightly quieter month for games; although it’s the month in which Christmas falls, companies usually

It’s fair to say that mid-to-late November feels very much like the lead-up to The Game Awards, a major ceremony that takes place in December each year. At The Game Awards, not only are the most exceptional games of their respective year recognised and lauded, but new game announcements are made as well, making it

It’s time once again to step into the time machine we conveniently keep around here to take another look at the gaming news that’s happened in the week that’s just gone by. As we’ve said before, the weeks prior to December’s Game Awards are often fairly quiet, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening; it just

If you’re based in the US, you’ve probably already begun your countdown to Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November each year.  You may or may not also be processing some feelings about this year’s US election, but either way, we welcome you to join us as we take another look at what’s

With Halloween well and truly behind us, we now look ahead to Christmas, and, more importantly (from the gaming calendar’s perspective, at least), to the Game Awards. Generally speaking, if companies have big announcements to make, those announcements will be made at big events; think Gamescom, the Summer Game Fest shows, and the Game Awards,

Traditionally speaking, we’re in the middle of the period when the biggest games are released, and November 2024 has more than its fair share of major games for you to check out. It’s not just the usual triple-A fare, though; there are lots of smaller indie games for you to take a look at as
