Welcome back, Football Manager. I've only played half a day or so of it, whistling through my inductions, board meetings and opening transfer window, but already the positive signs are there. Football Manager 27 is a big, much-appreciated step in the right direction. In a way…
The intro cinematic of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, this year's Activision mil-shooter , has reportedly caused controversy in South Korea due to the use of some real world news footage from a 2022 crowd crush in Seoul's Itaewon district which killed around 150 people.…
The World of Warcraft team has found itself at the centre of controversy after recently-added housing cosmetics appeared to go against previous pledges not to sell decorations tied to the visual identity of the game's races and factions. Read more
Since the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's DMZ mode, players have been mainly arguing about two topics: whether there's a need for a PvE-only mode , and whether Possum - an in-game trait - has a place in an extraction experience . Read more
Xbox leader Asha Sharma has claimed there's "more demand than consoles available" when it comes to Xbox, and that console sales "remain constrained by supply". Read more
Any reminder of Red Dead Redemption 2 's temperature sensitive horse testicles brings a smile to my face. In truth, I can't say I've ever zoomed in close enough to properly take in the spectacle of Arthur Morgan's mount having its nuts dynamically expand and contract based on…
Activision has come under fire due to the inclusion of real-world footage of the tragic Itaewon Disaster in Modern Warfare 4. The bereaved families association and the Citizens Countermeasure Meeting are asking for the footage to be removed. Read more
So we know that GTA 6 has a marketing deal with Sony and the PlayStation 5 , and that Rockstar has been engaging with real-world locations to get the word about its latest sandbox game out into the world ahead of its 19th November launch. But it seems the reach of Rockstar's…

Atten-shun! Company Of Heroes 3's got new single-player missions inbound via a DLC set during the Allies' 1942 invasion of North Africa. You'll take charge of American forces through a campaign steeped in second world war history that's designed to test your tactical nous and…
Epic Games are, dunno if you've heard, on a bit of a genAI kick at the moment. It's been tough to notice unless you listen very hard. Tim Sweeney's lips have been sealed and no reports have spewed forth . Sark aside, to this point Epic have had far more provocative soundbites…
Sony has announced the monthly games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra next month, bringing a mix of triple-A bangers and remastered classics to the service on the 3rd November. All are, of course, coming at the start of what is almost certainly going to be the…
Capcom has revealed updated sales figures for its new and successful games, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Pragmata, and Resident Evil Requiem. But for some reason, Monster Hunter Wilds is absent from the report. Read more

Valve has responded to the worrying trend of games being cloned using generative-AI and sold on Steam, but instead of admonishing those games or promising to do something about them, it appears to have put the onus on developers to make their games less copyable. Read more
Palworld , the survival crafting game featuring adorable animals seemingly inspired by Pokémon, has been embroiled in a legal battle with Nintendo over what the company alleges is patent infringement . But although the lawsuit is ongoing, Palworld developer Pocketpair still says…
Today's the day iPhone and iPad owners finally get to boldly go into No Man's Sky's procedurally generated universe , adding two more devices to the game's already long list of compatible platforms. But developer Hello Games isn't stopping there. It's also launching a new…
Maybe the best way to understand the kind of game Dawn of War 4 wants to be is through a single button. If you're playing a campaign mission in DoW 4 and you're not really feeling it, or you made a silly mistake right at the end and got summarily wiped by the AI, or maybe you're…
State of Decay 3 was announced with a snazzy cinematic trailer all the way back in 2020 . The open-world zombie game was due to move to colder climes, where you would face undead deer and survive the frigid elements. We've since learned that the teaser bore very little…
Arc Raiders recently ended its first-ever test for a dedicated PvE mode , following months of player requests. While feedback has generally been favourable, developer Embark has gone quiet about whether the mode will return as a permanent addition. Read more
In Mike Klubnika's growing oeuvre of brilliantly deplorable games, the same elements tend to recur. First, smoking: deep, long drags to make the lungs burn and eyes water. Second, club music: hard and fast, accented with just a faint sense of melancholy. Third, guns: big and…
A date has been locked in for Rockstar Games employees to vote on whether to recognise their developer union. If successful, it will become the largest recognised union across the entirety of the UK video games industry. Read more
When Edwin talked about Moon Sweepers yesterday he focused on the artisanal approach to space rock cleaning. Like the puritan he is, he wants to wipe away all the dust on the moon using a toothbrush. He says you should take pride in your work, stick one spacesuit-clad middle…
There wasn't really any chance Grand Theft Auto 6 wasn't going to be a big download. Thanks to some new information, though, we now have a hard number. Read more
None of us have any bloody time any more, do we? The economy being in the toilet is obviously part of that, but the other part is that we're all adults and now we have to do responsible adult things like our laundry, and buying toilet paper, and buying toilet paper again because…
November is potentially going to be big for Rockstar Games, and not just because of that GTA 6 thing they're doing. As shared in a press release from the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB), recognition of the IWGB Union at Rockstar will be voted upon by staffers at the…
Back in 2022, Gears Tactics studio Splash Damage revealed that they were working on a Transformers game . It was called Transformers: Reactivate , and at the time was set to be a 1-4 player co-op action game, but come 2025 and the game gets canned all while parent company…
Though Street Fighter 6 has been the most popular fighting game in the world for three years running, there are still dedicated soldiers playing Street Fighter V right now. Be that due to its much larger character roster (thanks to many more years of updates, obviously, but I do…
First announced back in March , Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Community Edition is a fan-made mod (for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic , obvs) that spruces up Arkane's 2006 RPG, including upgrading it to a newer version of the Source engine. Details have been scarce since…
Multiple remakes of beloved games including Counter Strike, The Simpsons: Hit and Run, and Super Hot , are available to play on Roblox right now. These have not been uploaded by the original game's creators. Read more
STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has a new update out, 2.1, which builds on the excellent 2.0 patch by upgrading that most beloved and contentious of STALKER series features: the A-Life system that governs simulated NPC behavior. With the 2.1 update. It's now possible to whack up…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is getting a small update today that includes the latest iteration of Infinity Ward 's iconic Shipment map. The map arrives just four days after Modern Warfare 4's launch last Friday, 23rd October, which is unusually quickly. Read more

Recently, I was writing a piece about Nighthawks and wanted to remind myself of some basic information about the companion characters. As I have a thousand times before, I put the question into Google and clicked the first result: the Nighthawks Wiki. Read more
The nights are drawing in, which can only mean one thing: more bed. But also the impending frights and sights of All Hallow's Eve. Yes, the season of good fear is upon us again, summoning visions of cardboard box robot costumes and other, more devilish things. Read more
I don't much go for PowerWash Simulator -likes, but there is something appealingly unwholesome about a game in which you have to wipe the dust off an entire moon. Using a toothbrush. True, you can upgrade to beefier hoovering equipment in Moon Sweepers by cashing in shipments of…
I've been tricked. Deep within the fine print of the Health and Safety and Wild Eldritch Creature Control License Edwin convinced me to apply for is a stipulation that I alternate shifts of Maw care with him. I've unwittingly signed up to cleaning the beast's cage out once a…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is officially out for all players, and its extraction shooter mode DMZ is looking to be particularly popular. And unsurprisingly, the mode's popularity has brought a longstanding player request back in the spotlight: many DMZ players have been…
The Call of Duty movie will explore "the cost of war" and probably won't be as graphically violent as director Peter Berg's upcoming Netflix film, The Mosquito Bowl. Read more

PlayStation Asia has reportedly leaked details of an unannounced update coming to Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl , 2.1, next week. Read more
Ah, come on, it was fine. Better than fine. We can argue for another fourteen years about whether BioWare should have redone the ending or not, but Mass Effect 3 was really a compendium of endings, a ludicrously ambitious wrapping-up of dozens of plot threads, character arcs,…
Hello, it is me, your regular weekend host Mertie and I am here once again to guide you gently into Saturday with our usual feature What We've Been Playing, where we write a little about the games we've been, yes, playing. This week, Bertie - before fleeing for a well-deserved…
After months of umming ahhing over paint colours, covering our living room wall in little swatches of testers, we've finally got exasperated with the entire process selected Cherry Caramel. I would be clearing out the living room to start painting today, but, honestly, after the…
A deal between Netflix and Xbox has supposedly fallen through because of one minor quibble: Netflix wanted to adapt the console maker's games for $500m, not $800m. Read more
After getting caught up in Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's devastating layoffs and cuts earlier this year, Arkane Lyon - the beloved immersive sim studio behind the likes of Dishonored and Deathloop - reportedly only has until November to find a buyer. If the search fails, it will be…
In one of the happier endings to occur in games this week, impossibly enormous resource management sim Factorio has just released its last-ever major update – version 2.1 – on its stable branch. As previously heads-upped by developers Wube Software, 2.1 doesn’t make any big new…
After EA's sudden shutdown of developer BioWare , upcoming crossover items themed around Mass Effect appear to have been removed from Battlefield 6 . Read more
Last week, Creative Assembly and Sega pulled Total War: Shogun 2's remastered Complete Edition from Steam , after an avalanche of complaints about technical problems and some AI-generated art. Now, Total War vice president Roger Collum has written a personal apology, while…
Modern Warfare 4's DMZ extraction shooter mode has only been out for two days - and only for those who pre-ordered the game - but already players are up in arms over a particular trait that allows competitors to revive themselves after being killed. Read more
Arrowhead Game Studios will only make a Helldivers 3 if it's lightyears apart in style from Helldivers 2 , or if Helldivers 2's playercount falls through the floor. This is my takeaway, at least, from a recent chat with Johan Pilestedt, chief creative officer, in which Pilestedt…
