The best open-world games have always been right at home on PC. From the early days of Ultima and Hydlide, to fin de siècle 3D trailblazers like Grand Theft Auto 3 and Morrowind, to the sprawling modern hits we now enjoy, freedom of exploration has always been intrinsic to PC gaming. These days, open-world games are their own genre. You can find accurate depictions of real-life cities or countries, huge fictional expanses with their own landmarks, complete worlds to check out – or even entire galaxies, depending on where you want to go on your next adventure. Not only are these…

Marlon Wayans may have cracked the Scary Movie formula alongside his brothers Keenen Ivory and Shawn Wayans in both the 2000 original and its 2001 follow-up but, for the sixth Scary Movie it appears a different approach is in order – even if Wayans’ trademark humor shows no signs of going anywhere.”Good, smart jokes are always gonna make me laugh. I’m always gonna laugh at some scatological humor – I’m just raised that way,” Wayans tells GamesRadar+. “There’s always a nine-year-old inside of my body.”Yet, childish humor doesn’t necessarily mean a scattershot, sugar rush style of jokecraft. The new Scary…
ROM distribution site and self-described “video game preservation service” Myrient is set to close down at the end of March, with its operator citing the current rise in RAM prices amid the tech being hoovered up for AI datacenters as part of the the reason they’re reaching for the shutters.
Marathon’s Server Slam is almost at an end, and in between matches I’ve been keeping a close eye on Bungie’s log of feedback and responses to criticisms. I don’t think Marathon’s in a bad place at all, but there are certainly a few areas in which the FPS game needs to improve, ideally in the very short window between now and its full release date. While Bungie has already stated it was looking into areas such as time to kill, UI, and PC performance, it’s thrown two final buzzer beaters onto its list of chores prior to the Server Slam…
Just because Pokémon Pokopia seems like an obvious idea, that doesn’t mean it was always destined to be a success.Combining the biggest and most popular media franchise on earth with some of the most influential games of the last decade could have resulted in a hodge-podge of disparate ideas without actually capturing what can be magical about casual “cozy” life-simulation games.But by combining the IP’s stewards, Game Freak, with the Dragon Quest Builders 2 team from Omega Force, Pokémon Pokopia succeeds in not only being a game that Pokémon fans will love, but one with genuine life-simulation chops that can…
Can you preload Marathon? The server slam event has gotten a lot of players interested in accessing the full game and being ready for when it releases on March 5, so preloading will ensure that they’re not having to wait. But, right now, details on preloading have been fairly sparse, leaving many to wonder if it will even be an option at all. Fortunately though, preloading has been confirmed, as we’ll explain below.Can you preload Marathon? (Image credit: Bungie)Yes, you can preload Marathon and have it downloaded prior to release, but not yet, as the option to do so has…
Happy this week all! Some weeks, I do a couple of paragraphs of preamble before listing the new PC releases, but this week, there is no time, for the videogames are many, curious and capacious. Bungie’s latest shooter and the return of Spire are among the larger drops in a deluge that makes me yearn for the quieter, pre-broadband period when the global economy could only support one videogame a month, and they were all delivered to your PC by horse and cart. Without further ado, FEED THE MAW. Monday 2nd March Finally, a life sim that understands the medicinal…
Lenovo can’t stop making giant gaming handhelds. After storming onto the market with the Legion Go, which had an 8.8-inch screen and detachable controllers, the company has stepped things up another gear, this time hoping to take on the Steam Deck and its 7-inch screen with an enormous 11.6-inch folding-screen handheld, currently called the Legion Go Fold Concept. Tapping into the growing trend for folding screens in phones, the new Lenovo device can either be used with a Steam Deck-like 7.7-inch screen or folded out to its full 11.6-inch size. With detachable controllers, you can chop and change the setup…
