Recently replaying Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End for the umpteenth time, this globetrotting, treasure hunting journey is still one of the best romps in gaming history. The whole Uncharted series still embodies a terrific sense of pulpy adventure. But, 10 years on, I’m beginning to feel a bit uneasy that what was once PlayStation’s dominant series is feeling a bit side-lined in favor of serious, bleaker fare. Perhaps Uncharted 4 is simply destined to be an all-timer, but where’s the competition?Instead, developer Naughty Dog has well and truly entered The Last of Us mines, giving us some of the console’s…
Curry Barker isn’t a fan of conventional jumpscares. The director of upcoming horror Obsession, which is already being hailed as one of 2026’s best movies, is so against them in fact that he’s trying to invent whole new ways to send shivers up cinemagoers’ spines.”[This is] not something that people say, I’m just making this up, but I have kind of my own modern jump scare that I try to pursue – but it’s not a jump scare at all. It’s just, like, my version of a jump scare is,” Barker tells GamesRadar+. “It’s like, if you have two or…
On May 10, 2006, Ritual Entertainment released SiN Episodes: Emergence, the first of nine episodes set in the sci-fi megalopolis of Freeport City. Backed by Valve and launched on Steam just a month before Valve’s own Half-Life 2: Episode 1, the game felt like it was the start of something new. Ritual even had Gabe Newell singing their significance, saying in Emergence’s launch day press release that “With the release of SiN Episodes: Emergence Ritual is leading the industry’s long overdue migration to producing episodic content.” Valve famously released just two Half-Life episodes before stalling. Ritual only ever managed one.…
Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate has been suspiciously missing since its announcement nearly five years ago, but series creator and JRPG icon Yuji Horii just revealed that an upcoming livestream celebrating Dragon Quest’s 40th anniversary will include news for whatever the “next game” in the series is.A Dragon Quest livestream is apparently set to debut on May 27 – in only a few weeks time – in celebration of four decades since the first slime-squishing fantasy game, Horii announced in the newest episode of the KosoKoso podcast, with quotes translated by Gematsu.”We’ll be doing a livestream on May…
Riot Games has responded to the Valorant ban it recently handed to Kick co-founder and streamer ‘Trainwreck,’ real name Tyler Faraz Nikam, stating that it was the result of teaming up with an Immortal player who was swapping between smurf accounts. The month-long suspension has sparked fresh discussions around what’s allowed in Valorant five-stacks, with Trainwreck questioning why he was “banned for playing with friends.” In response, Riot’s anti-cheat team has clarified that one specific player that was joining Trainwreck in the multiplayer game caused a direct ToS violation. Over the weekend, Trainwreck was handed a 31-day ban from Valorant…

There are more video game movies and shows being made than ever. For every Super Mario Mario shooting for the stars at the box office, however, there are several more middling efforts – including Prime Video’s recent live-action Yakuza series and Return to Silent Hill – that didn’t quite recapture the magic players experienced on consoles.But, still, there is gold in them there video game hills. And a rush has ensued: Helldivers, Duke Nukem, It Takes Two, and Metal Gear Solid have all been unveiled as potential projects over the past few years.Now, there are more video game adaptations being…
If Valve isn’t going to bring us Left 4 Dead 3 any time soon, we’ll just have to get our zombie game fix elsewhere, and Mann Versus Zombies is looking like just what I need. This total-conversion mod for Team Fortress 2 transforms the multiplayer shooter into a gradually escalating horde survival experience akin to Call of Duty Zombies. Built by a team of modders that has dubbed itself Breadworks, it brings the timeless roster of characters and locations into a fresh spin on a tried-and-tested format. One of my favorite parts of Team Fortress 2 is Mann vs. Machine,…
Earlier in the week, I reported on how Valve’s new Steam Controller sold out almost immediately, and there were little to no precautions taken to prevent resellers from making a profit on it on sites like eBay. As bad as this is for the PC controller’s launch, the main reason I was worried was that it pointed to a much worse situation for the upcoming Steam Frame and Steam Machine.Thankfully, some of my fears have now been waylaid because Valve has published a new blog post that shows the brand is doing what it can to prevent the resellers at…
The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are, and apologies in advance for the less-fun-than-average intro, for peeling back the layers of the smelly legal onion that is scattering pet ashes in the UK. The government’s Regulatory Position Statement (or RPS – no relation) suggests this is only easily done on property you already own, which makes things tricky for my flat leasehold – if you’re unfamiliar with this term, it’s a bit like what Steam is to games, in that I don’t technically own jack shit. My willingness…
