Ten years is a big milestone, yet Blizzard’s Overwatch anniversary event has felt like anything but a grand celebration. Ever since its total rebirth earlier this year, Overwatch has been riding high again, reclaiming its rightful place in the pantheon of multiplayer games with a clutch of new heroes and much more proactive updates. The tenth anniversary has knocked that momentum right out of me, and many others, however. Offering just a basic set of character skins, a handful of loot boxes, and a small selection of community-made cosmetics, it doesn’t feel worthy of such an important occasion. The ‘launch…

God, I miss weird Warhammer.That’s not to say the hobby isn’t full to bursting with batshit ideas, of course; it is, and I’m grateful for that. But there was a special brand of madness to armies such as the old-school Empire from Warhammer Fantasy Battles, like Tim Burton crossed with a steampunk fever-dream. If you also have a soft spot for that vibe, let me introduce you to the new Cities of Sigmar models from Age of Sigmar. Dear reader, they are bonkers.Get them for less (Image credit: Future/Will Salmon)While you can of course pre-order these models direct from the…

What are we all playing this weekend? There is currently a white cloud swimming across my right eye. It’s not, as I thought first, a smudge on my glasses. It’s my old friend, a retinal migraine. I’m hoping by the time this article goes live it will have dispersed entirely and I can get back to a walk in the park. If now, this weekend will be spent in a dark room staying exceedingly hydrated. That’s enough about my wild plans. Here’s what the rest of the team are up to.

Alongside copper, Subnautica 2 sulphur is an important resource when it comes to crafting electrical items in the survival game, such as the advanced wiring kit and the essential repair tool.Unfortunately, it can be hard to find, and even if you do come across it, you won’t find much to begin with. This is in part due to the fact that larger sulphur deposits are found in the hard-to-reach graveyard area of the Subnautica 2 map, so here’s what you need to know about getting there and finding sulphur.Where to get sulphur in Subnautica 2 (Image credit: Unknown Worlds)In Subnautica…

Is the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy actually an alt-universe sequel series? Where/when the hell is Zack Fairs? What are those shadowy Whispers doing? Will Cloud end up with Barret after all? The trilogy’s director, Naoki Hamaguchi, doesn’t intend to answer fans’ biggest theories because that would only spoil the fun, he says.Final Fantasy 7 Remake and its sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, are pretty liberal reimaginings of the original game. They loosely follow the contours of 1997’s classic, but there are so many changes chucked in that calling them straight remakes is a little tough. Heck, Rebirth even introduces…

After becoming an unlikely action star in Nobody and its sequel, Bob Odenkirk is back for another round in new action-packed crime caper Normal.Best known for his turn as seedy lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and its prequel series Better Call Saul, Odenkirk’s career took an abrupt pivot in 2021 with a turn from comedy and drama to ass-kicking, and Normal continues this trajectory.

There’s only one breed of bird on Tau Ceti IV: the Skrac. They keep a squawking vigil, watching over dying runners as they bleed out, marking the moment with disinterest. Once everybody’s dead or exfilled, theirs are the only organic eyes to look out over the ruined colony.Perhaps it’s fitting, then, that whenever I check the discourse around Marathon, I can still hear the flap of vultures’ wings. Everywhere I look, punters predict the death of Bungie’s latest shooter. Armchair analysts point to diminishing player numbers on Steam, and Sony’s own reports appear to back up the gloom. In a…

Forza Horizon 6 will launch in full May 19 after enjoying its currently ongoing early access period, and then everyone will be able to crash through its idyllic Japan setting like Godzilla in a Ferrari.
