PVKK, or Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant, if you’re nasty, has been delayed to 2027. It’s the planetary defense game with the super clicky buttons and mysterious subplot, and now it’s going to be at least the best part of a year before I get to do my part for whatever autocratic leader happens to be in charge when I sit at my post. If you haven’t heard of PVKK, it’s one for the tactile sickos, and it’s been extremely strong on my radar since I first laid eyes on it. You’re in charge of a giant planetary defense cannon and are tasked with…

“There can only be one” – or as it turns out, not so much for the Highlander franchise. The fantasy action world features several sequels, TV shows, comics, and even a Henry Cavill-led reboot on the way, all spawning from the 1986 classic. And revisiting the movie 40 years after its release, it’s clear to see why this story has had such long-lasting appeal.Set between contemporary New York City and 16th-century Scotland, the film tells Connor MacLeod’s story, an immortal warrior destined to live and fight forever – or at least until his head gets lobbed off. We follow him…
The Rally Point is a regular column where the inimitable Sin Vega delves deep into strategy gaming. Thank you for agreeing to meet me, Commander. Have you met the head scientist? I hate him. I… haven’t met him yet. Should I? Don’t, he’s an arsehole. They call me “Commander” but won’t let me fire him. “He’s a genius”, they keep saying. I don’t believe in geniuses. I believe in good teams. He insults the engineers in every report. It’s not even funny! I want to lock him in the workshop and tell them he’s a strikebreaker. …Because they’re Soviets? Your…
For free evolution items, balls, dollars, tix, and everything else you need to become a budding master of Brick Bronze, all you need to do is redeem these new Roria Conquest codes before they expire. Though many are actually permanent promotions, the best codes do fizzle out eventually. Roria Conquest is one of the better offshoots of Brick Bronze – a legendary Roblox homage to a certain creature-collecting franchise, the team is surprisingly fine with rage-baiting. Though the gameplay mechanics are largely borrowed from that same series, Roria Conquest is built around a whole new landscape, making it more akin…
Resident Evil: Requiem is mostly a classic horror game, but when you’re playing as Leon, he can feel as intimidating as any horror villain.With Leon’s hatchet, you can parry pretty much any attack and cut down foes with a variety of flashy animations. It’s a useful tool that you should have at your side at all times, and you will need to keep it sharpened and repaired.We’re breaking down how to sharpen the hatchet in Resident Evil: Requiem’s main story mode, and the new Leon Must Die Forever DLC mode, which has a very different ruleset when it comes to…
The Mandalorian and Grogu star Pedro Pascal says his Star Wars bounty hunter is aware of his own mortality compared to Grogu’s – and he’s getting a bit existential about it in the upcoming movie.”They are real partners, at this point,” Pascal said of the titular duo at the UK Fan Event Q&A attended by GamesRadar+. “Grogu is on every mission, on every adventure, they are side by side. And it’s sentimental, because Din Djarin knows that this creature will outlive him, and I think that, existentially, he’s very, very focused on making sure that he can survive in a…
No one can find out about this, my forbidden love. I am the esteemed holy ruler of these lands, the people look to me for strength and honour. What do you mean ‘well, you might have thought about that before we used the bedchamber with the camera in it that livestreams to the castle’s big TV’? Ah, I’m ruined. Or, at least I would have been prior to the deployment of Crusader Kings 3’s latest patch.
It’s never nice to be in the same lobby as a player who relies on cheats, whether it’s being killed from absurd distances in an instant, being visible even through walls, or coming up against someone with a bag of loot they didn’t acquire legitimately. It feels bad in any multiplayer game, but in a game like Arc Raiders, where your equipment can be lost forever, it can be a dealbreaker for further runs. Embark Studios just put out an explainer on Arc Raiders’ anti-cheat system, how important machine learning is to rooting out cheaters, and how ban appeals are…
