007 First Light is now out in full, and I hope the masses are ready to face the most difficult decision of their lives

What took you so long, Bond? I asked you to meet me here, with the nuclear codes I politely requested, in good time. Instead, you've turned up right as I'm about to give this presentation on said codes, meaning I've had no time to grill you about them as part of my prep. You're right, you owe me nothing and at least yo...

My favourite moment in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening happens in a library. You're wandering between the stacks, trying to learn more about this strange island you've washed up on, when you spy a book that's hidden up high, stuck at the top of a book shelf, and well out of range of your grasping hands.

Pokรฉmon game sales cross 515m units as The Pokรฉmon Company looks to Winds and Waves next year, and TCG production is ramping up too

Pokémon Winds and Waves will no doubt be huge when the two games launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, but Pokémon is thriving regardless of what's going on in the mainline series.

Red Dead Online wasn't a missed opportunity in the eyes of Take-Two's boss, but I'd say it's proof that following the GTA train doesn't guarantee the world

As Rockstar gear up to release GTA 6 (at least on consoles), spare a thought for Red Dead Online. The multiplayer element of Red Dead Redemption 2 had its steady flow of major update-carrying stagecoaches stopped all the way back in 2022, with its makers explicitly citing a desire to shift those development resources o...
