Forgetful Dictator, out later this week on Steam, looks like the greatest educational video game I never got to play at school. Dressed as a strategy game, you’re actually learning about geography, capital cities and flags while you fight a giant dinosaur (and your own lack of knowledge of the world around you).
Valve released a matchmaking update for DOTA 2 yesterday, and as part of it, some players breaking the rules have begun receiving comically long bans. Valve’s notice for the updatesays it’s targeting “bad actors”, aka those with “exceptionally low behavior scores”, anyone buying or selling Steam accounts to get a higher rank, players “using exploits…
The physical copies of this year’s Football Manager game are made almost entirely from recyclable materials, from the case to the shrink-wrap to the ink that’s printed on it. You could even eat the cardboard, if that was something you ever felt the need to do. As GI.biz reports, this year’s game—and every version going…
Dinosaur Polo Club, the guys behind the excellent Mini Metro, are back with Mini Motorways, which is basically the same deal, only now you’re building roads. It’s on Apple Arcade on September 19, but is also coming to PC next year.
NBA 2K20 is one of the best sports games I’ve played in a long time. It’s also a giant scam that is perpetually gross, and sometimes even terrifying, to be around. This might sound weird considering this is a sports game, but 2K’s basketball titles are some of the hardest things I ever have to…

Tesla cars have an “Autopilot” feature where the car can, on a long straight drive like a highway, take care of some stuff like lane changes and cruise control. The driver is supposed to still be paying attention, but some people—like UFC fighter Kevin Lee—haven’t got time for that. Lee posted a video of himself…
Detective: City of Angels is a board game inspired by LA Noire. I’m in the middle of my review of it right now, actually, but there’s already a Kickstarter for the game’s second expansion, which adds more expert cases to the game.
Konami quietly announced a new Castlevania game at the Tokyo Game Show last week, called Grimoire of Souls. Before you get too excited, you might want to check out the trailer first.

To celebrate the effort’s 10th anniversary—and, somehow, the 20th anniversary of the release of the original game—some very passionate Everquest fans have revealed ambitious plans that are aimed at letting players go through the game’s release journey (including expansions) all over again. The team behind Project 1999, already running a server recreating the vanilla Everquest…
Straight speedruns and feats of skill are always impressive, but sometimes it’s just as impressive to see a game completed where someone has found an interesting way to make things hard for themselves. That’s what Manekimoney has done here with a Resident Evil 4 playthrough that was completed with 0% weapon accuracy. That means using…
The latest Gears of War is out this week, so tonight we’ll take a look at a bunch of the art that went into the game’s conception and production. Below you’ll see a collection of pieces, both 2D and 3D, from some of the artists involved in the game. It’s not everything from everyone, but…
Perhaps hoping to recapture a little of the magic from their older collaborations, Adidas is once again teaming up with Star Wars for a sneaker release ahead of the Rise of Skywalker in December. The result is this X-Wing-inspired Ultra Boost. Which, when you only read about the news in text form, should be great!…
Anthem’s ignominious fall from “BioWare’s next big thing” to “oh dear” hasn’t hit rock bottom just yet, as today it was announced that the game is being added to EA’s subscription catalogues. Both EA Access and Origin Access subscribers will be able to download and play the base game for free as of today across…
Nintendo is heading back into the fitness business with Ring Fit Adventure, a new game where you strap a Joy-Con onto your leg, put another in a big squeezy new peripheral and flail about like nobody’s watching. Here is the game’s first trailer—it looks like a surprisingly decent use of RPG mechanics, given the fitness…
First teased earlier this week, here’s the first proper look at Project Resistance, an upcoming 4v1 “asymmetrical co-op experience” set in the Resident Evil universe.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the site RomUniverse, looking for millions of dollars after accusing the site of “brazen and mass scale infringement.” Sometimes, when Nintendo sets its lawyers on a site, it can be contentious, because the targets are small fan-run operations hosting retro releases that it can be argued are doing…
