Best Games

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

Spooky season is well and truly getting underway now, and we’re about to hit the peak month for spooky shenanigans, which means you’d expect a ton of horror games to be imminent. Well, there may be one or two creepy experiences to enjoy while you’re wrapped up in a blanket with some hot chocolate, but

As the Gamescom dust settles and the gaming world returns to normal (until the major AAA releases of the autumn, anyway), September is often a month to reflect and catch up on the backlog. That’s certainly not the case for this year, though, because there’s an absolute landslide of great games heading your way in

July may not be the most significant month for gaming releases, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of great games to look forward to, no matter what system you’re playing on.

Whether you believe that spring truly begins at the start of March or towards its end, one thing’s for certain: spring is well and truly underway when April rolls around.

When the Wii was first released in 2006, gamers and critics alike appeared to have a hard time taking it seriously as a gaming console.

The year is drawing to a close, and so it’s the perfect time to take a look back over all of the games that have been released in 2023. It’s difficult to argue that 2023 wasn’t, in some respects, a banner year for the medium; landmark releases in genres like survival horror, single-player RPGs, and

City builders are a very divisive prospect. For some, they’re an engaging timesink, providing hours of compelling and strategic entertainment. Others, meanwhile, condemn them as boring and stuffy. If you fall on the former side of the fence, then you’ll find you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to great city builders to play in

Zombies are a reliable cultural phenomenon. If you want to sprinkle a little danger and high-stakes drama on your fictional premise, then add zombies.  It’s an approach that’s worked for The Walking Dead, 28 Days Later (yes, they’re not technically zombies, but they fulfil the same purpose) and Sony’s upcoming epic Days Gone, among others.
