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…

However you prepared for Resident Evil Requiem, your process wasn’t as comprehensive as this. In what’s less of a speedrun and more of a speed-marathon, a dedicated Resident Evil fan managed to beat the main stories of every available game in the series on the trot, making him more than ready for more of Leon’s spinkicks.Streamer Maxylobes is the one responsible for this incredible feat of survival horror, dubbed the Resident Evil ‘Anthology’ speedrun. Starting with Resident Evil from 1996, he shambled his way through near enough every installment in the franchise, right up to Resident Evil Village, completing the…
Bloodborne. It’s still not on PC. Perhaps a remake might bring it to PC. Ah. Nuts. Original developers FromSoftware reportedly turned down a Bloodborne remake pitch from recently shuttered PlayStation studio Bluepoint Games last year.
Before Resident Evil Requiem launched, it felt to me that Capcom had found a superb balance between fan service and originality, gruesome action, and tense survival horror. I had high expectations for it, as a result, but it absolutely surpassed those. You’ve no doubt seen the impressive review scores, the sky-high Steam player count numbers, and the general outpouring of positive sentiments for Resi 9, and now it’s squared up to a record held by Clair Obscur Expedition 33 that I didn’t think would be challenged for quite some time. On Metacritic, Resident Evil Requiem has matched its mighty 9.5…
