Ah, February. The month of love, or at least it is if you’re one of the people who celebrates Valentine’s Day. Otherwise, it’s just the month that heralds the arrival of spring at its conclusion. Either way, there are already plenty of reasons to be optimistic about February, but the game release schedule for the month is looking pretty promising as well.

Indeed, if you’re a fan of old-school and retro gaming, you’ll find plenty to love this January, and if you’ve been waiting for PC releases of big-name console exclusives, you’re in luck too. Here are the best games to check out in January 2025! Donkey Kong Country…

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 want to drum up a little more interest in their titles ahead of time rather than releasing close to the holiday. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any great games to play in December, though, so without further ado, let’s take a look at all the…

Here are the best games you can play on any platform in November 2024! Metal Slug Tactics (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch – November 5th) The first strategy RPG in…

There’s plenty to enjoy this October, so let’s take a look at the best games you’ll be able to check out this month! Silent Hill 2 (PC, PlayStation 5 -…

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 September 2024. You’ll be spoilt for choice if you’re looking for something to play!

Gamescom 2019 is finally over, and we’ve had some time to sit and think about everything we saw. It’s been a few days since the show ended, and since its conclusion, we’ve been mulling over what we thought were the best bits. It was a pretty epic show this year, and many of the major video game companies had enviable showings. Still, crown winners we must. Here are the most impressive games we saw at Gamescom 2019.

Regardless of platform, whether it be on one of the consoles or PC, racing games have always proven incredibly popular. Developers have been churning them out for decades now (the first true racing game – Gran Trak 10 – was released all the way back in 1974), and gamers have been more than happy to lap them up! There are a select few titles, however, which in our opinion stand head and shoulders above the rest of the racing games out there. And so, without further ado, here are the best racing games ever created. Gran Turismo Series When it…

With Google’s entry into the console gaming (well, sort of) ring now firmly established, it’s time to start speculating. There’s plenty we already know about Google Stadia – what games will launch for it, what its technical capabilities are, when it will launch (November, if you’re interested) – but we don’t know what the future looks like. Given the power and reach of Stadia, it’s not unreasonable to want games that push its technical limitations and show us what it can really do. Here are some of the games we want to see on Google Stadia. Dark Souls Trilogy As…
