Breaking news: I still can’t stop playingTears of the Kingdom. I played over 80 hours for myreview,and after restarting to take it all in slower, my personal playthrough is slowly creeping towards the same milestone. This time around though I still have three temples yet to clear while side quests, shrines, and a general sense of freeform discovery take precedence. Every moment is being savoured, but deep down I know the time will come to leave this classic behind....

Synapse, the new VR game from developer nDreams, brings two voice acting legends, Jennifer Hale and David Hayter, together for a sci-fi story where the mind is a battlefield. But it isn’t the first time the voices of Commander Shepard and Solid Snake have worked together. In fact, their working relationship dates back to the mid ’90s. “I was the voice of the Black Cat in the ‘90sSpider-Manseries and Dave was Captain America,” Hale says, from her home recording studio....

Larian, the studio behind BG3, alsoconfirmed in Februarythat there will be an Xbox port of the game, but have now said that it does not have a release date for the Xbox port due to an ongoing issue with two-player split-screen co-op on the Xbox Series S, saying “we need to ensure that the game is performing without compromise across the entire Xbox X|S ecosystem”....

As much as I hate the tremendously toxic waste of time that is the Console War, I don’t mind a bit of friendly rivalry between the Big Two. After this week’s PlayStation Showcase, Microsoft took a playful shot at Sony on Twitter. Xbox shared an image of all 12 games shown during the PlayStation Showcase that are also coming to Xbox, with the caption “What a good looking group” and a cool guy sunglasses emoji that I can’t recreate, but you know the one I’m talking about....

Introduced in the crossover Strixhaven campaign setting, owlins are ideal for being cute and deadly at the same time. Although they are similar to aarakocra, and you might have even flavored an aarakocra as an owl once or twice, owlins have powerful abilities that make them unique when compared to other feathered species.

Quick Links Cassette Beastsis no Pokemon knock-off - ask just about anyone who’s played, and they’ll attest to its bevy of distinctive features, from its storytelling approach and partner system to fusions and plethora of puzzles. But Pokemon did start something big, effectively birthing its own subgenre, and you’ll surely find a few signs of its DNA here.

Battlebit Remastered is currently the best selling game onSteam. It’s ahead of fellow competitive shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, newly released F1 23, and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, which is not only on sale but also enjoying a renaissance thanks to the upcoming sequel. But you’d be forgiven for not having heard of Battlebit. It’s not got a global IP behind it like Spidey, it doesn’t have the years of FPS goodwill of CS:GO, and – let’s admit it – it looks like it was made in Roblox....

I am a Timothee Chalamet fan, and I’m obviously far from the only one.

He was the third-youngest nominee for an Academy Award for Best Actor ever, for his breakout role in Call Me By Your Name....

By far, thebest extra game modethroughout theResident Evilseries has to be Mercenaries. While it debuted in the classicRE3, its incarnation inRE4completely transformed the side game.

My favourite fishing minigames all come fromZeldatitles. I love the Red Lion’s silly cranking crane in The Wind Waker, despite the fact that it’s less of a minigame and more of a ‘press a button to dredge a treasure chest from the depths’ game. It was the rock of the boat as it struggled against the weight of your treasure and the sound of the winch creaking that made it feel so good....

One of the main critiques levied against the Xbox Series S is thatit’s holding gaming back–it’s a weaker budget console that serves as an in-between for last and current-gen hardware. That means devs have to optimise games not only for the Xbox Series X but also for a much weaker system, all without sacrificing performance and quality. However, Larian Studios CEO andBaldur’s Gate 3creative lead Swen Vincke says that “the platform is perfectly fine”....
