Alas and alack for Lickity Split, knight hero of The Fortress, prisoner of a villainous Sorceror King. ‘Twas I who named him (I wanted a pun on “Lich” and I’m fairly sure we’ve done “Lich My Balls” several times before) and ‘twas I who led him to his death a whole six rooms away from his cell… and ‘twas I who then resurrected him as a wizard and got him killed again, a mere five minutes later.
FromSoftware has a penchant for inflicting misery, resulting in smashed controllers, keyboards, and even the odd screen as players once again get their cheeks clapped by that one attack that definitely didn’t hit. Though the soulslike game studio loves to amp up the difficulty, the latest Elden Ring Nightreign patch is offering us a breather. Between its myriad character buffs and quality of life adjustments to some of its newer content, there’s a lot to be excited about. Of course, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in Limveld, as you’re now going to have to take greater risks to resurrect…

When the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update was announced back in 2025, I did the unthinkable. I took a virtual sledgehammer to my island and deleted it, resetting the home I had put over 1000 hours into. It was the same island I had had from day one of the game’s release, and had spent an embarrassing number of Nook Miles tickets to get all my favourite villagers in a perfectly organised neighbourhood.While deciding to simulate armageddon for all my villagers (sorry, Stitches) wasn’t easy, the hardest part of starting over was actually how overwhelming the prospect of planning…
I only have to skate a few meters before the piercing drum of rifle fire fills my ears. Armed with my trusty can of spray paint, I cover the hostile soldiers in splotches of bright colour while rollerblading circles around them. They stumble about, trying to keep me in their sights. Stopping to complete an unfinished bit of graffiti on one of the walls, spreading colour between gaps in a template, the soldiers gather around me. Unable to target me, they mill about in the way as I try to finish, making it a touch more difficult to work out…

Prime Video has kicked off production on its upcoming Tomb Raider TV show, and it’s unveiled a first look at Sophie Turner’s Lara Croft to mark the occasion.The image, which you can see below, sees the Game of Thrones star channelling the ’90s version of the iconic archaeologist – and as a ’90s kid myself, I’m digging the nostalgia.Not only is Turner sporting the green tank top, brown short shorts, and gun and leg holsters, she’s also rocking the round, red sunglasses, which takes me right back to my search for the Scion of Atlantis in all its sharp-angled 3D…
“Last year was a hard year for the studio,” Elder Scrolls Online’s executive producer Susan Kath says. “It was a hard year for all of us.” In 2025, as part of sweeping cuts made across all their businesses, Microsoft laid off a significant chunk of Zenimax Online Studios. They did this despite CEO Satya Nadella later calling the year one of “record performance”, with revenue up 15% and hitting $281.7 billion. So, last week, when Zenimax Online Studios revealed it was moving from releasing major expansions every 12 – 18 months to smaller, more frequent updates every three months, it…

As a quick browse for space heaters on Amazon shows, pushing over 1500W through the best gaming GPU in the world really…
