New Blood’s Dave Oshry is a character. Short in stature, but big in personality and muscular like a bull terrier, you can’t help but want him to be your pal. There are a lot of business guys in video games, but there aren’t many with this kind of infectious enthusiasm and knowledge for the games he likes to play, make, and publish. Of course, he’s not just a suit – he’s also the producer, PR guy, company spokesperson, creative, and more.“I do everything but the programming, art, and music,” Oshry tells me. Dude has more hats than Team Fortress 2.You…

Penélope Cruz says playing an aspiring detective in new monster movie The Bride helped her “express a lot of rage” – and that she was so desperate for the role, she called writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal from the sidelines of her son’s football game.”I remember when I read it, because then I had to go quickly with my son to a football training, and I called from the football training,” Cruz recalls to GamesRadar+. “I will always remember it, because I said, ‘You’ve written an incredible script, and I hope you know that.’ I felt very grateful that she was offering…

Earlier this week, the operator of ROM distribution site and self-described “video game preservation service” Myrient announced plans to shut it down as of the end of this month. They advised folks to download any files from the collection that said folks were keen to hold onto ahead of the closure. A group of volunteers have decided to take that to another level, working together to archive all of Myrient’s files so they can be preserved for posterity.

For as long as I’ve been covering the Call of Duty scene (which is much closer to a decade than I’d care to admit) leaks have been part and parcel of the annual cycle. Rumors of which Activision studio is making the next game, what it’ll be called, where it’ll be set, and what kind of content it’ll offer regularly spill out into the open, but over the years the amount of credible sources for those leaks have steadily diminished. Following some extremely significant claims from one of the last-remaining, prominent CoD leakers last week, which Activision publicly denied, it…

Following recent reports that Sony has patented tech that lets players hand the controls over to an AI helper, Microsoft has now patented something similar.The company was recently granted a group of patents which refer to “video game help sessions”, and let players have someone take over the controls when they’re stuck.According to one patent (as spotted by Tech4Gamers), the patent suggests a scenario where a player is stuck in a particular section of the game and may need help.The patent describes a situation where the system can use machine learning to detect that the player is having problems, and…

Is Pokemon just a game for kids? One Game Freak veteran doesn’t think so, previously suggesting that the belief comes from “a misunderstanding” rather than reality.Obviously, Pokemon has a lot of adult fans (hi), and I’d guess there’s probably more than ever as the series turns 30. After all, many fans who were kids when they started playing have stuck with the franchise throughout their lives, and still enjoy it all these years later. Even before this big anniversary, though, veteran Game Freak artist Ken Sugimori once dismissed the idea that the RPGs are only for a younger audience.Sugimori, who…

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has its own dedicated Steam listing once more, separate from follow-up Counter-Strike 2, which was neatly slotted over the top of CS:GO on release a few years ago.

Young Sherlock is shaping up to be one of the most fun shows on streaming this month.

Young Sherlock is streaming on Prime Video worldwide from this week, 4 March, and all eight episodes are dropping at once.Young Sherlock features Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the legendary detective, but in this show that fame is far in the future. Here he’s an anarchic adolescent in what Prime Video says is “an irreverent, action-laden mystery that follows the iconic…

Have you ever noticed your next company-wide meeting’s due and thought the following: ‘Oh, we should post an image prominently featuring a screen from a game rumoured to potentially be getting the remake or remaster treatment, but solely to illustrate how much we love meetings’? Well, Iron Galaxy Studios – co-developers of Skyrim’s Switch port and support studio on Fallout 76 – say was what happened late last week. The studio say their social media posts featuring Fallout: New Vegas’ ‘Please Stand By’ screen have “nothing to do with anything Fallout being worked on”.
