Uma Thurman is about to take a villain turn in Prime Video’s Pretty Lethal, about a group of young ballerinas trying to survive the night in the home of Thurman’s retired ballerina as her minions try to take them out. If that sounds absolutely over-the-top, the newly released first trailer will not rid you of that notion.Check it out: Pretty Lethal – Official Trailer | Prime Video – YouTube Watch On There’s something weirdly compelling about the translation of highly skilled ballerinas into hardened killers, which seems to be the goal of Thurman’s Devora Kasimir. And, of course, Thurman herself…
Resident Evil Requiem review: Requiem’s concoction of oppressive first-person horror and gory third-person action makes for a rip-roaring first half, even if its second can’t quite match that energy. Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Release: Feb 27th, 2026 On: Windows From: Steam, Epic Games Price: £60/$70/€80 Reviewed on: Intel Core i5-12600, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, Windows 11 Resident Evil: Requiem is filled with winking reminders of previous games, so I was surprised the touchstone I kept coming back to was the one Capcom surely want me to forget: Resident Evil 6. The latter set out with bold aspirations. It…
If the sequel to a chapter about the main, original cast of Dead by Daylight isn’t the time to add new voice lines, when is? That’s the question being asked by many today as All-Kill, the horror game’s K-pop-infused gameplay chapter, gets an encore in the form of All-Kill: Comeback. Behaviour Interactive has been quick to respond to criticism about a lack of new voice lines, but not in the way players have hoped. All the way back in 2021 (yes, that was five years ago now), Dead by Daylight added the Trickster killer and survivor Yun-Jin Lee as the headline…
The light gun shooter is a bit of an endangered video game genre these days.When arcades were flourishing you couldn’t move for them, and their popularity inevitably led to home equivalents – whether it was Nintendo’s Zapper, Super Scope and Wii Zapper, Sega’s Light Phaser and Menacer, or the offerings from third-party publishers like the Konami Justifier or Namco GunCon, there was a time when pointing a plastic weapon at your telly was a perfectly common sight.These days home light gun shooters are far rarer to see. This is down to a number of factors, but the most obvious one…
The state of New York is suing the Valve Corporation over the appearance of loot boxes in many of its most popular franchises, including Counter-Strike and Dota 2, because the state alleges the mechanic is indistinguishable from illegal gambling.In a publicly available summons filed on February 25, New York Attorney General Letitia James, on behalf of the People of the State of New York, argues that Valve has only ensured its free-to-play franchises remain lucrative “by pioneering an alternative model for monetizing its games: gambling.””The market for virtual items for the Counter-Strike franchise alone has been estimated to be in…
Do you like architecture that plays tricks on you? Secret rooms in DOOM? The Ashtray Maze in Control? Thinking with Portals? The 5 a.m.? That painting of some books outside the lockers in the British Library that bends queasily as you approach, revealing itself to be a horrible wedge of tomeflesh, projecting outward into our realm like some dead author’s imprisoned soul? I guess you’ll be playing the new Ultrakill update then. It introduces the eighth layer of Hell, Fraud, in which nothing you perceive with your eyes can be trusted. A problematic prospect, for a “video” game. Here’s…
Unless you’ve been living under an udder in Lumbridge, you’ll know by now that Old School Runescape has been milking any mention of Brutus the Bovine landing in Lumbridge. The result of Mod Acorn and Mod Arcane’s machinations during Game Jam 7 has now entered the paddock, and it’s causing a frenzied headache in a bunch of ways. Now, it’s important to note here that Brutus is primarily designed as an entry-level boss – something for the MMORPG’s endless line of noobs to aim toward, and give a little direction to the early-game grind. But you can’t make a big…
The co-founder of Discord says the company “missed the mark” with its rollout of global age verification, and has delayed it until the process works better.Last year Discord added a new age verification system for some users in the UK and Australia that requires them to scan their face or ID to access sensitive material.It then announced earlier this month that it would be rolling out age verification globally in early March, which would require users to confirm their age before viewing certain Discord servers or channels.Now, in a new blog post, co-founder and chief technology officer Stanislav Vishnevskiy says…
Every time I think I’ve had enough of the Vampire Survivors formula, some new roguelike will pull me right back into wave after wave of chaos. Enter: Wanderburg, a bullet hell roguelike about piloting rickety castles turned war machines through medieval battlefields. Developer Randwerk of Abriss fame put out a demo in this week’s Steam Next Fest, and I had to physically stop myself from playing it long enough to write this article.The brilliance of Wanderburg, so far, is how temperamental it is. You are not a perfectly controlled instrument of war weaving effortlessly through crowds of enemies. You’re a…
If you’ve been holding off playing Helldivers 2 because you’re fervently hoping they’ll eventually add robot cowboy wizards, then firstly, you are eccentric to the point of deranged, and your mother and I are very worried about you, and secondly, why not play the Far Far West demo instead? It’s a one to four player co-op FPS with robot cowboy wizards out the wazoo. Except that robots don’t have wazoos, I think.
