Real-time strategy games have grown into vast, complex affairs over the years, but Bad North isn’t interested in adding to the genre. Instead, it just wants to strip everything back until there’s barely an RTS at all. Out now on the Nintendo Switch, and coming soon to PS4, XB1, PC and mobile, Bad North is…
Paradox’s Stellaris, a very big and very PC strategy game, is coming to PS4 and XB1. If this is a test for a console Crusader Kings II, then count me in

Creative Assembly, the studio behind the Total War series, recently decided to revisit 2013’s Rome II—seen by many fans as the weakest game in the series in years—with a brand new expansion. In the five years since Rome II, there have been two excellent games based on Warhammer, an expansion for Rome’s siblingAttila and Creative…
It’s only been a matter of days since Germany’s classification board agreed to start allowing video games to depict overt Nazi symbols, something that had previously been forbidden. Which means a game about The Third Reich already in development is going to be one of the first to be able to implement the change. Through…
Falcon Age, coming to PS4 (and PS VR) next year, is all about falcon-hunting. And yes, you can pet the bird.
These PlayStation sneakers aren’t official—I doubt either Nike or Sony would go with something so obvious—but the results are still pretty cool. I’m not a fan of the button placement down the sides, as it looks a bit cheap, but the colourway itself and small PlayStation logos are nice. They’re a pair of Nike VaporMax…

All I remember about licensed board games as a kid was that they were usually cheap, terrible cash-grabs. Things are much better for the youth of today. Having spent the last few years reviewing adult board games, I wanted to try and play something with my wife and kids, and so we’ve spent time recently…
It’s been a bad couple of years for the cover stars of major sports games. Big transfers of star players like Kyrie Irving, Neymar and LeBron James have left the marketing for NBA 2K18, PES 2018 and 2K19 in need of repairs, and we can now add FIFA 19 to the list as well. When…
18 months on and people are still finding crazy stuff to do in Breath of the Wild: here’s Zantssmacking a rock a few times and ending up on top of Hyrule Castle To save you asking “how the hell did he do that”, here’s an explanation on how the hell he did that:
Graveyard Keeper is a “historically inaccurate” management game where you run an old cemetery. You’re responsible for everything from autopsies to cutting down the wood to build coffins. It’s out on PC and Xbox One.

This is Necrobarista, an upcoming visual novel where you work in a supernatural coffee house. It’s coming to PC, PS4 and Switch in 2019.
Here is a house so bizarre, so broken in its design and execution that when Sims actually try and live in it the game just can’t cope. Made by Aussie James Turner, it’s a hellish square of hedges and fences that asks Sims to travel 3700 squares just to “enter”. And once they get there,…
Imagine working customer support for a big video game company like Blizzard. Imagine all the shit you have to sort through all day, from abusive tweets to abusive emails to abusive forum comments.
