PC flight sim DCS is one of the best-looking games on the planet, even moreso with the launch of its new Supercarrier module. And while this trailer looks very Top Gun, the soundtrack…is not very Top Gun
US Customs has seized 86,000 bootleg Pokémon figures, worth an estimated $600,000, hidden inside a shipment arriving from Hong Kong earlier this week. Which is fine, that happens all the time, and fake Chinese stuff is violating trademarks, so this is literally Customs’ job. But instead of just saying that the figures are fake and…
We’re all very used to seeing modern games ignore or even remove mod support, so it’s nice to see that EA of all publishers is going the extra mile for the modding community with the upcoming re-releases of the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert In a post on the project’s Reddit page, producer…
Last year, G2A—a supremely suspect grey market seller of PC games—offered to pay studios 10x the cost of their games if it was found to be selling stolen keys. Only one company took them up on the offer, and whaddya know, it turns out G2A was selling a bunch of stolen keys. Factorio creators Wube…
Just as video games has E3, board games has Gen Con, an enormous trade show that takes place every August and attracts tens of thousands of visitors from across the world. And just like E3, this year’s Gen Con has been cancelled. Not that anybody really expected the show to take place, since August isn’t…

This is Going Medieval, an upcoming city-builder that has you constructing a township, defending it then managing the day-to-day-affairs of its inhabitants. Set in an alternate timeline where the black death killed 95% of Europe’s population, you have to take charge of a group of survivors. While city-building seems to be the main thrust of…
The Sims has kinda had the “livin a life” genre all to itself for a while now (if you don’t count slightly different stuff like Stardew Valley), but the upcoming Paralives is looking to at least show that there are other ways to go around cleaning house and working out. Coming to PC and Mac…sometime…

Like the Olympics, this Summer’s Euro 2020—Europe’s big, once-every-four-years football championships—have been moved to 2021. But Konami’s planned adaptation of the tournament is going ahead this year anyway, because why the hell not. It’ll be out on June 4, and comes in the form of a DLC update for Pro Evo 2020, the company’s flawed…
Fallout 4: New Vegas is a very ambitious mod that’s not just trying to recreate New Vegas inside Fallout 4, but is having to re-record every line of dialogue as well. That would be enough work to kill 99% of fan projects, but these guys are still plugging away. This new video shows some of…
The 2020 Madden Bowl, EA’s big official championship for its long-running football series, was won last week by a player who didn’t throw a pass for the entire tournament, or even put a recognised QB under centre. If you know football, you will know that is messed up! It’s one thing to favour a running…

Vice City might have the best licensed soundtrack of all time, but I think Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 comes in a very close second. Released 20 years ago, the game didn’t just ship with a whole bunch of famous skaters on the roster (and be an excellent sports title in its own right), but…
No pressure, guys, but Crusader Kings III might be Paradox’s most important game of all time. The second game in the series was a breakout, mainstream success for the normally hardcore PC strategy label, drawing in millions of people to the joys of running a medieval kingdom, seducing princes and murdering a lot of people.…
Publishers Read-Only Memory have released this print called Japansoft Hardware History, to accompanythe excellent book Japansoft: An Oral History. It features 29 platforms, from the FM Towns to the SNES, and you can get it here
The new Microprose may have little in common with the old studio aside from the name, but as it tries to get old heads excited about its lineup, it’s showing off some very Microprosey games. Like Sea Power here.

Nintendo just announced four new (well, old) games coming to its Switch Online service for May. Three are for the SNES, and one for the NES. From May 20, you’ll be able to play Wild Guns, Panel de Pon and Operation Logic Bomb from the SNES, and Rygar from the NES. Note that none of…
Because the United States of America is a rapidly failing state, one incapable of performing even the most basic civil functions, a stay-at-home order issued by the Governor of Michigan—like those enacted everywhere else around the planet to save lives—has been met with armed protests. And armed Pokemon. Among the small crowd of assholes, crackpots…
