Tick tock
While there’s every chance you’ll have heard of 1995’s iconic horror Clock Tower, you probably haven’t played it.

News FromSoftware Boss Puts Elden Ring Difficulty Discourse to Bed, Once and For All
Git gud, officially
FromSoftware's games demand a lot from players, mandating they engage with mechanics and "lock in" to overcome punishing, master-crafted combat encounters.

Poll Are You Playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?
Back to your roots
It's not often that an expansion can command greater hype levels than full games, but that's exactly what's happened with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

News GEX Trilogy Revives a Long Lost 90s Mascot on PS5, PS4
GEX who?
Nintendo had Super Mario. SEGA had Sonic the Hedgehog. And 3DO had… GEX? Well, kinda. The James Bond-esque gecko debuted as a console exclusive on Trip Hawkins’ ill-fated format, but later launched on SEGA Saturn and PlayStation – before subsequent sequels launched first on Sony’s vastly more popular system. While the original game...

Released in 2017 (was it really that long ago?!), Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has just hit an impressive sales milestone.

News PS1 Classic Fear Effect Gunning for PS5, PS4 in 2025

Beat-'em-up is back
We live in an era where no franchise is truly left behind, and it’s genuinely refreshing to see so many classic series revived and re-released on modern hardware.
